war on grumbling day eighteen

Day 18
I am thankful for the seasons changing, both in the weather and in my life #WarOnGrumbling #40DaysOfThanksgiving

Today it seemed like a lovely autumn day, but the signs winter has arrived were quite evident. And you know what? As much as I love spring, summer and autumn, there are things I actually like about winter. 

It got me thinking about our seasons with God. This year has been rather fruitful for me in the area of personal healing and also ministry. But it came after an intense and uncomfortable season of pruning (see John 15:1-2). 

So as the winter beckons again, I have no choice but to say to Jesus Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits. (Song of Songs 4:16)

To everything - turn, turn, turn // There is a season - turn, turn, turn

And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, a time to reap

A time to kill, a time to heal, a time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything - turn, turn, turn // There is a season - turn, turn, turn

And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down, a time to dance, a time to mourn

A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

Day 10

I'm thankful for God's mark on my life and all the healing and deliverance that comes with it. #WarOnGrumbling 
#40DaysOfThanksgiving

I really don't know why I was set apart for salvation but I know that it is real and palpable and I'm awed almost every day. I have a past that includes abuse, alcoholism, abortions, divorce, drug addiction and rage as well as other issues like disassociation. And to be set free and released into Jesus' purposes has been an incredibly humbling yet beautiful experience. And if that isn't enough, He asks me to help others realize the same things. #SetTheCaptivesFree #MindBlown

David Ruis - No Other

And if I'm healed by just one touch of Your garment, Lord

Then how much more of Your love is for me than I'm tasting, Lord?

Draw me // Take me // And I will run

Over the mountains and down into the valleys, I will run with You
Oh, all my fountains are in You

Show me Your Kingdom at work

Questioning My Heavenly Papa proved so fruitful and rewarding, I'm still in awe at the things God told me during that period in my life. And just how much potency it still has as I grow as a Christian.


Day 39: Show me Your Kingdom at work

God said: Take note of the little things Gayene. The little nuances. The things that few notice. You notice them. The space between the silence is where I do my best work.The silence does have space on each side of it. It's what makes it silence. 

Healing you is my Kingdom at work. Because you carrying this even another day does not allow my Kingdom to work at its fullest. Okay?

I replied: Well that's a bit too much to claim don't you think? 

He continued: Gaylene remember the humility. I need you.

I countered. I don't feel much right now. I mean I feel You but I don't hear big prophetic stuff.

He said: You're not always intended to. I want you to feel my feelings. But you know that don't you? You've always known that. My feelings are just important as some big prophetic declaration. In fact, they must coexist.

Next: What Kingdom works do You have for me today?
