This year, the Lord spoke the word resilience over year 2020. While my teammates were getting words like passion and boldness, I got resilience. Pretty scary right?
There are things that will happen this year, but since you are now walking with me, you will always see the light I bring into the darkness.
What a way to start off the year! Hearing that this may be a year with a lot of darkness isn’t always the thing we want to hear.
A big part of my testimony is my 8th grade year. I have a very optimistic view of my surroundings, meaning I don’t always see problems that are there. This causes me to not have the greatest grasp of handling issues since they usually blindsiding and never seem like a pressing thing. However, my 8th grade year I was smacked in the face with problems. There was disunity in my family, frightening health issues, relationships that were emotionally tolling, and a huge lack of trust in authority. I handled this year very poorly, letting anxiety control my life and taking all the problems out on myself. I built up so many walls that the Lord spent years breaking down. I saw little to no light this year and was so consumed in darkness that at times I forgot light existed.
There are things that will happen this year, but since you are now walking with me, you will always see the light I bring into the darkness.
When the Lord told me that 2020 will be hard, I immediately started to stress. Is this year going to be like my last hard year? But quickly I understood the truth that it isn’t. This year may be hard. This year may have darkness. But now I’m with the Lord. I’m not alone, I was never alone. I have a light beside me and a light in me that will bring hope to any circumstance I find myself in.
I was processing my word with a teammate, and she told me “The enemy always attacks when you are growing in the Lord and growing the kingdom, so I’m excited to see how much you’re going to do this year.”
So this year I am refusing to be..
Weak
Helpless
Inadequate
Dependent
and be..
resilient
overpowering
fierce
kick-ass
durable
Keep my 2020 in your prayers! It may be a doozy but I’m so excited to see the growth in my faith and to walk hand in hand with the Lord spreading light to the darkness!
