The Prologue

But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! -Habakkuk 2:3 TLB

The last several years have been quite a journey for me. There have been several scriptures that have come alive in my life, that I’ve clung to with all of my heart, and hope to share in the coming weeks. Time and time again, they’ve either been laid on my heart or presented in a sermon or through a friend. Whatever the case, each one has impacted me in such a way that I don’t doubt for a second they were, in that very moment, God speaking directly to me.

I don’t know what the rest of this year holds, but I’m expecting really great things to take place. I have seen God work in my life in a way that makes me feel like I’m on the outside looking in. And privileged, not because of who I am, but because of who He’s been in my life. Despite growing up in a loving, God-fearing, Bible-teaching home, I managed to make choices that were life-altering. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t change a thing, because I’ve experienced God. I’ve experienced His grace, His provision and protection, and His power. And I survived. Trust me, there have been many times that I wondered if I would. But, let me say it again, I survived.

My life is funny – I don’t know if it’s necessarily any different than many others or if I just view it differently, but I get a good laugh out of it on a regular basis. I’m confident that I don’t have all of the answers, nor do I feel that I should be making any recommendations on how to walk through life, based on my track record. Most importantly, I want you to know that I am not, in any way, under the impression that I have it all figured out. But what I DO know, is that we have a forgiving God, that loves each and every one of us with such adoration, it’s beyond our imagination. I am confident that He wants to bless each of us, well beyond what we could ever desire on our own. Expect great things, because our God is a great God, and He wants great things for us!
