Hey guys I’m back again really soon! Today was the 2nd day of training camp and God is ALREADY doing so much and I cant help but share the testimony of his realness and goodness today!
All day today in everything I read and in everything I heard and of all the things I wrote God was highlighting to me the word Father or Abba… and I honestly was sure why…
Fast forward to evening chapel and during the beginning of worship the worship leader was talking about how we are truly like actually sons and daughters God’s children, and that resonated with me today like never before. As we began to worship God have me a picture of Jesus walking with me through a field when I was a five year old little girl. That year is significant to me because my parents got a divorce when I was 5. During worship still as I am worshiping the Lord with all the energy I have left in me we sing the song “No Longer Slaves” I’m not sure if you’ve heard this song but the lyrics go, “Im no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God.“ and as those lyrics washed over me tonight it was the first time in my life I really truly began to grasp that I am actually a loved daughter of God my Heavenly Father.
A sermon was given and the end of chapel was drawing near and we did a song of worship to close out the night, and during that song I was praying and I was like Lord, God, Father, you are SO GOOD to me and I need to take note of this moment and remember this date because today was life changing. As I started to take notice of the date I then very quickly realized that it was July 10th 2019… this May just be an ordinary date to some people, but I was completely wrecked when I realized that 9 years ago today is when my earthly Father who I know loved me tons passed away, and all I could do was bawl, some straight up ugly crying because I was so in awe of the Lord and how real and true and good he is.
I may not have an earthly Father to go home to here in the states, but I definitely have a Heavenly Father who has given me his Spirit to dwell within me and walk with me everyday allowing everyday to feel like home in his arms. I pray God might reveal to you further your identity in the Lord as his son or daughter today!
July 10th on the calendar can seem to be such a sad day knowing it is the day my whole life was shattered to pieces in 2010, but now, 9 years later, July 10th 2019 will be remember as the most beautiful day of growth in the knowledge and realization of my true position as the daughter to a perfectly loving Heavenly Father!
God Bless,
TES
