29!🎉
.
Woke up this morning to rays of light pouring in… and my baby right on my face. “Time to wake up, mama.”
I took a deep sigh of relief as I looked around. My husband asleep right beside me, and my baby smiling and babbling all his beautiful nonsense.
I paused for a moment, just to take it all in. It’s been such a journey here and this right here… this is one to be deeply, truly grateful for.
.
It isn’t just another day, it’s the gift of another year.
Even more than that, it’s a reminder that God isn’t done with me yet… that there is still so much more He wants to pour out of this vessel of His.
.
So, to new beginnings and fresh starts, The goal still remains the same: knowing Jesus, and making Him known as I do.
Let’s go! 🎉

Dearest Abba,
Thank you.
.
Thank You for teaching me this year that I am safe to be a child with You. That I never have to hide my tears or tidy up my emotions to be held by You. You taught me it was okay to always come and I would always find Your hands widely outstretched, reaching out. This year, I learned what it truly means to be comforted and be carried by You.

Even on the days I didn’t feel You, You were there, as real as the heartbeat in my chest and steady as the ground beneath my shaking feet. There was nowhere I went that You did not go with me.

For every moment I stepped out in faith and found myself swallowed by waves, thank You for reaching for me, again and again, pulling me from depths I couldn’t escape on my own, teaching me how to stay afloat.

Thank You for green pastures. For still waters. For divine mentorship and quiet guidance.

Abba, You truly carried me this year and everyone you’ve brought on this journey with me. And because You did, I trust You with all the years ahead, believing You will do all You have spoken, as You help me faithfully steward the life You preserved.

I’m learning.
…
I’m learning that Fellowship is not tied to a Place but found in a Person(s).
And it doesn’t really matter where/when God meets me per time; what truly matters is that I recognize Him and meet Him there too.
.
Whether He makes a show of His presence like with Moses and the burning bush experience or the still small voice with Elijah on the mount, what matters most is that I recognize my need for Him and ultimately, my constant mantra is that I’ll not go unless He leads me.
.
Whether He finds me on my knees in the early hours of dawn buried in long hours of prayer and study or somewhere in the kitchen corner sorting out the dishes while praying in tongues under my breath, again, what matters most is that I recognize and receive what He has for me.
…
I’m learning that growth could be chaotic too. Like the caterpillar being morphed to a butterfly; hibernating, breaking out, losing parts… all the way wondering why everything seems to be falling apart yet on a journey to a glorious beauty; it’s all part of the process.
Here, I’m learning that the fact that it’s uncomfortable and chaotic doesn’t mean growth isn’t happening.
…
I’m learning that when I pray about a situation, I must also pray to recognize the answers when they come because sometimes, what I expect isn’t what He’s doing.
His ways are not always our ways.
Here, I’m learning faith and trust.
…
Above all, I’m learning that the Lord always heals and restores.

The past few months have been such a journey with the Lord.
Grateful for it all.🥹 by @theolamidegrace

For:
The ones seeking.
The ones hungry.
The ones asking.
The ones hurting.
The ones longing.
The ones burnt out.
The ones lonely. The ones needy. The ones tired….
Abba has asked for us all.

This time, He’s inviting us to gather, to be refreshed, rejuvenated, and restored in Him. Because truly, where else can we find ourselves if not in Him, the One in whom we live, move, and have our being?

For 40 days, through November into December, we’ll intentionally seek the Father’s heart; listening for His voice, His words, and His thoughts as He leads us into healing and restoration through prayer and the study of His Word.
 Are you ready to end the year awake, aglow, and aflame in God? It’s all love, peace, and joy here.
You’re warmly invited to join us. 💛

Woke up earlier this week to these nudgings on my heart.
I pray it finds who it’s meant for.

For every heart seeking, may you continue to find and burn for the Lord. 🫶 by @theolamidegrace

Maybe. Just maybe.
What some of us need right now…
Isn’t another meeting, another conference, another empowerment session, another book, a new project, or another mentor to chase…

Maybe what we need first…
Is to shut out the noise and be still.
To sit and spend unhurried and quality time with our Lover, our Father, our Creator.

Nothing complicated. Just coming as we are.
Bringing the weight on our hearts: the questions, the confusion, the ache, the worry…
And letting it all spill out before Him.
Then listening… really listening… for His answers and His instructions.

In worship. In psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts. In the quiet moments. In scripture. In prayers. In silent sighs and wordless groans too deep to express…

Let Him pour out His love afresh.
Let Him remind us who we are; who He’s made us to be.
Let Him heal what’s broken, carry what’s heavy, and speak what’s needed.
Let Him show what He has planned and the specifics routes to getting there.

And then we move.
From a place of wholeness and perfect clarity
And like David, we can boldly say:
“The Lord is my Shepherd. I lack nothing.”
Because we’re walking in tune with our Source.

The food for the believer has always and always will be Fellowship.
This time, let’s not just go around seeking what’s not missing. Rather, let’s start from our Maker.
Because only in the Creator’s original will is the creature most fulfilled.

Abba asked me to start here tonight.

This is 28.
…
I looked at myself today and realized how little I knew of my future as a child.
That little girl, wide-eyed and curious, had no idea how God would shape her.
No idea she’d grow into a woman He would use…
A woman learning to shine light, even quietly, even imperfectly.
But He knew. He always knew.
…
The past year has felt like both a breaking and a becoming.
A sacred unfolding.
I was stretched, undone, rebuilt.
I relearned the strength in stillness,
the strategy in waiting, the beauty in trusting what I couldn’t yet see.
…
And then December came, with the loudest kind of love.
Our son arrived, and life became a dance of motion and mess and meaning.
Noise replaced silence, but peace didn’t leave.
Because peace was never about volume.
It was about where I anchored my soul.
…
Now, I see it clearly:
Stillness isn’t the absence of sound, it’s the presence of God within the storm.
It’s choosing to be rooted, even when everything else is moving.
To hold joy and exhaustion at the same time.
To show up fully, with hands full, eyes tired, but heart open.
…
I’m still learning.
Still surrendering.
Still becoming.
…
It’s my birthday today. I still don’t know all about my future, but God does and in this, I rest.
Please say a prayer for me. by @theolamidegrace

I’ve come to a realization: You’ll never be truly happy until you choose to be.
…
For the longest time, I believed happiness was on the other side of achievement. Growing up in an average family, I had a checklist of things I thought would make me happy. If I could just finish school, land a great job, and start making good money, then life would be complete. I wanted to afford the things I once watched from a distance.
At the time, my parents didn’t seem to get it. Every expense had to be justified. If we could do without it, why spend on it? It used to frustrate me. I wanted freedom; the kind where I wouldn’t have to second-guess every financial decision.  But now, being on the other side, I understand. There’s something working for your money does to you.
…
Fast forward to today. Many of the things I once longed for, I now have. And yet… I barely notice them anymore. They come, they go, and new desires take their place. If having them was supposed to make me feel settled, why does the list keep growing?
Maybe you’re like me, waiting for that one thing that will finally bring lasting joy. Well, here’s what I’ve found: The moment you acquire what you once prayed for, a new longing emerges. And that’s the problem. Happiness that is tied to achievement will always feel just out of reach.
It’s like chasing a mirage on a long, endless road. No matter how far you go, you never quite arrive.
…
Life is a journey of highs and lows. Some days are good, some are brutal. Some moments hit so hard that we question God’s goodness. I’ve been there. But here’s what I’ve realized: Romans 8:28 is not a cliché. it’s a lifeline.
God isn’t responsible for all of the things that happen to us but we can be rest assured that as long as we stay in His purpose, He will work it all out for good. The life of Joseph is a perfect example.
…
Complaining won’t take us anywhere; instead, gratitude and trusting God’s wisdom to lead us all to our green pastures.
...
So today, I choose joy; not because life is perfect, but because I refuse to keep chasing an illusion. I choose to trust that even in the waiting, even in the unknown, God is still writing a story worth living.
And so are you. by @theolamidegrace
