  I’ve been learning many things as of late.  It seems I learn the most when the season is a difficult one.  It seems that more and more I am in a constant state of duress.

   I was talking to Father about this today.  He responded with a little reminder that no matter what is distracting me, I must continue to accomplish His plans for my life.  It was really impressed upon my heart that no matter what I must keep mission minded.  I got the notion that it won’t be getting any easier, rather I must learn to flower in the midst of chaos. 

  I asked Father how I was to accomplish this with no money, very little food and facing loss in many different ways.  This was Father’s reply to me.  He said that I was only to  be concerned with listening to the Holy Spirit, moment by moment.  I am not to worry about even the next couple of hours.  Father said as long as I listen and stay alert, I will know exactly what I am to do and precisely when I am to do it.  He said that as long as I live by these guidelines, I will make it through and I will live a worry free life. 

  He also reminded me that I have always been provided for in every circumstance no matter how bleak or impossible it looked.  So my “Mission Impossible” is to keep my faith up, walk in constant obedience, and follow the Holy Spirit to the best of my ability.  The responsibility of my life and my actions falls upon Father and my ability to listen and follow Him.  For my burden is light as I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. 

I shared this with you cause I feel like a lot of us are going through difficult times. I really love and care about you all. I hope you know this, regardless of what the enemy may tell you. It seems that is the biggest thing the enemy does is try to change the truth about who I really am in the eyes of all other people. I have seen this happen to other people as well. This is why it is so important to run our thoughts before the Holy Spirit by taking all thoughts captive.

Keep the faith, hang on to hope and know that our work is so precious to Father and in the end it will have been worth it all…..
