Freedom

 

DEAR ABBA,

                Thank you, Father! Through hard times and hairy experiences, I am thankful. Here is a lesson I would learn about emotions. There is nothing wrong with feelings and processing emotions. They deserve whatever limited or vast amount of attention necessary to maintain honesty, self-control, and compassion for us and others. Relationships thrive when we allow healthy communication of emotions.

                For instance, someone shared a hurtful childhood experience with me.  I responded with logic. What I missed was apologizing for their experience. An apology is a healing balm whether we are the cause of a situation or not. Let’s not rush to explain the why or reason. Instead, make room for the pain of others. Hold their hand through the healing journey. #empathy #compassion (Matthew 9:36-37, biblehub.com)

                I am holding space for firstborns and the oldest of siblings (male/female). I pray that all heal from being parentified (made to parent your siblings), abandonment, fatherlessness, premature adulting, control issues due to fear, lack of boundaries, sacrificing of well-being, and every area of childhood trauma. I am holding space for the middle child who was misunderstood, labeled, judged, ignored, and criticized. I am holding space for the youngest who was bullied, teased, lonely, sad, stuck in survival mode, grappling with identity, struggling to mature and learn independence. It is my prayer that healing, deliverance, wellness, breakthrough, new ways of living, loving, growing, and changing overtake your heart and soul, and with the help of the Ruach Hakodesh you maintain the new you in all the ways you come forth. May Yah’s will be done! May His peace and joy continually nourish your heart and soul. May your restoration be swift. In Yahshuah’s name. Amen.

                No one born and raised by flawed and imperfect people will leave their childhood unscathed. I have found freedom in acceptance, forgiveness, and self-love. Let us never forget that we are seen, heard, and loved by The Most High Abba Yah!

Shalom. Shalom. Isaiah 53:5, Psalm 34:19, Psalm 147:3.

 

Ahava,

Shaking and Shaping

  DEAR ABBA,       I am holding space for parents who had to bury their children, parents caring for ill or special needs children, and parents whose children (juvenile & adult) are incarcerated. There is no sadness, grief, or despair impossible for the power of Adonai to heal. We don't have the right words to console the hurting hearts of parents. However, we know that prayer and intercession can go where we cannot. Kind Father, let your love shower these parents and their living children. We know your righteousness and justice will prevail in each situation. We release rivers of healing, deliverance, and salvation. In Yahshuah's name, Amen.     Some things can happen to alter the trajectory of our lives. The Ruach Ha'kodesh said to me,   "Shaking and Shaping."   We hear the Prophets of The Most High Yah speak about exposure, and changing of the guards, the remnants arising, and the unseating of leaders either by de...

JUMP

DEAR ABBA, I cannot help feeling like so much has happened in a short amount of time this year of 5784. I am not overwhelmed, however, I am aware of times and seasons meeting like a crash of ocean waves against our shores.  There was a dream I remember from years ago with crashing ocean waves. I was standing between the shore and the ocean. Suddenly, waves overcame me and I was covered by the water. Immediately I was awakened from the dream. The dream scared me. I did not know if I drowned or made it out alive. Ruach Ha'kodesh explained, "Whether or not you make it is up to you." Obviously, I am still here! APTTMHYAH!!! (all praises to the most high Yahshuah)  Adonai has ensured my victory at each turn of events on my journey. I am sure the same can be said of you! Recently, I heard the word JUMP.  When I shared the word with my Sister in the Lord, she responded with Psalm 18:29 . F or by thee, I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped (j...

The Blood changed my story

  DEAR ABBA,     I'm reflecting on my seven-year experiences.  In the past, I would go from the "wilderness" to the "promised land" with little to no analysis of my experiences. The proper way is to ask what is the lesson in the "wilderness." Thank you, Dr. Apostle Elaine Johnson for teaching me this over a decade ago, and Happy Int'l Women's History Month.      Abba Yah will take us into transition and we do not know why or for how long. Which brings on frustration and confusion. Unlike in the past, I asked. Whew! What a process and journey it was for me. Only believe was a term I learned and used often as my belief system became firm.       The Lord showed me the way to receive and activate greater depths of deliverance for my life. Some people who knew me through the years should realize I am not who I was because of growth.  The "wilderness" is the only way  to one's "promised land." I will save the many details of m...
