Where It All Began

There are no words to adequately describe my journey over the last few months. This journey has been one that has began with a thought/dream at least 10 years. 

On April of 2023, the Lord spoke, and it was time to take the steps to make a dream a reality. This dream would take me on a journey where I would be leaving family, friends, and even a well paying job, and move across country, from Virginia to Texas. The journey was not going to be easy. I would have to let go of some ideas, ways, and ultimately self, in order to embrace what God has for me. I was saying “Jesus take the wheel” but I wanted to speed the process up, and do some backseat driving. I had my plan on how to get to the destination God planned. It was as if I plugged the destination into Waze and then told Waze it was wrong. I would need to learn, that just as Waze has calculated the traffic, construction, accidents, and made the necessary adjustments, the Lord had done the same thing. I had to decide I was going to trust and ride, or not. So, I decided to ride. 

As I let God drive, I learned more about Him, His goodness and mercy. I learned more about His love, grace and favor. I also learned about Sarah. And while there were some things I did not want to know , or like, I was reminded of how much He still loves. 

My prayer was for God to show up and show out with this journey. I wish I had time to tell you all He did with this journey. He answered my prayers, not the way I expected, but the way He wanted to and needed. This would be a reminder that He is God. 

While on the journey, there will be many twist and turns. I may run into road closures, traffic, and maybe some accidents along the path to breakthrough and beyond. While on the journey, there will be some barriers I need to push through and beyond. Pushing through the barriers will lead to breakthrough and breakout, allowing me to go beyond my self-imposed limitations. Some take a ride with me on the journey to breakthrough and beyond. Buckle up, hold on tight, and enjoy the “ride”
