God’s provision continues to follow me everywhere He leads. About a week ago a friend was praying for me and she said “And I pray that a large amount of money comes in the next 24 hours. And I don’t know how much … (she paused) … $1100. I pray $1100 comes in quickly.” Within about 24 hours I received a check for $100, followed by an email of a friend saying God put an urgency on her to give me $1000.
Praise God !!!
I am able to catch up on payments, and also put money towards the 18″ Journey. I still have another $1300 to raise until I’m fully supported to be here in North Carolina.
Simply put, this is a life changing experience unlike any
other, that is going to transform the way I walk with Christ for the rest of my
life. From the first week I already have
experiences and words that I can learn and grow from for years! If a person’s calling in life can be related
to branches of a tree extending outward and bringing fruit to the earth, my
branches extend out further than I can hope to sustain. The 18″ Journey is my opportunity to let my
roots grow deep. Here I am learning how
to draw from deep waters, so that I will be sustained in pursuing my calling
even when it isn’t raining.
Here is a series of journal entries from the past week:
It’s a new day! See God in a new way! See yourself in a new way! See others as new creations!
God’s breathing life into my lungs, breathe in deep, enjoy again! All pressure is gone as the waves of His affection wash over me! I am rooted in the Father’s peace. I’ve been given a bucket and I will draw living water from the depths of my Papa’s heart. It never ends.
Discover and explore today!
I’m here to rest, to embrace Your peace. I inhale Your perfect love and exhale adoration. My Father has a place for just me and Him.
Take me out of my mind and into Your heart again!
Who’s voice will I listen to and believe? Wherever fear is greatest lies my greatness. Attack those areas! Victory is in my veins.
Lord, remove the ticking clock, remove the pressure. Abide in the Father, slow down time. Speak to your spirit and tell it to trust God, to trust in His goodness. God see’s my heart.
Abandon the microwave and embrace the slow cooker (We always want everything right away, embrace God’s timing! I’m in this for the long haul! )
My roots grow deep and drink from the wellspring of life.
Lord, dismantle my false perceptions of what You look like!
Learn to listen to your heart again!
The key to discipline is desire, if you want something you will pay the price for it. Lord, I invite Your discipline into my life.
Lord, show me what my heart really wants, as I delight myself in you I won’t be afraid to follow the desires of my heart.
It’s not so much what He’s calling us to as it is what He’s inviting us to!
Even the adversity can’t stop you when your passionate about something.
This experience is God’s great gift to me. He is teaching me how to live! Again, I still need to raise another $1300. If you would like to support me checks can be sent to:
A Place for the Heart

With ‘Mike Sanders’ in the memo of the check. Thanks for your continual prayers and support!
