Fresh Vision 2018: GET OUT and Let's Go

Who are you giving the weight of your wait to?  That's the question Pastor Javier asked this past week at Shiloh Church.

The sermon was entitled;  Against All Hope

I've gone extensively into feeling like my singlehood is hopeless like a penny with a hole in it so we don't need to belabor the point on that.  

The other part of my life that is dark and in need of revival are my finances.

My business is doing better than it ever has but I'm behind and it feels like I can not get ahead.  I accept responsibility for not being as prudent about my finances as I should have been but I don't regret it because Not coming from money I had to put a lot of money out upfront that I didn't have and that caused things to get messy.  

It takes money to make money and when you don't come from money, then you do what you have to do.  I will accept responsibility that I could have made better choices and I'm chalking it up as an L to the game and I know I will not make similar mistakes.

This week though I've decided to give the weight of my wait with my finances over to God.  

Supporting the ministries and charities I do is non-negotiable so that's not going to change.  I do need to keep growing the business and I do need some supernatural help and that's what faith is about. I can't do it by myself so I need some help and I KNOW that God is faithful.  I keep seeing it in my finances.

My last month I covered my budget with $38 left over.

He will supply

This week I sent off a past due bill and I wondered how I was going to afford it but I did.

Then on Sunday my phone dies and I had to get an all new phone.  I paid the down payment and I refused to get upset thought, "Well I trust God to provide"

What happens?  A new client  contacted me and an old client are returning.

Then more financial issues surfaced but I said, "Well this is where you put your faith where your mouth is" and so I did.

Right after that, I had a conversation this week that could potentially be a game changer and would tremendously lighten my load.

Listening when God says NO

During my Daniel Fast I kept feeling God giving me clarity towards some certain issues and it keeps getting more and more clear.  Sometimes we need to let stuff go and it doesn't mean it wasn't helpful but it starts to become a distraction and taking up too much room where it doesn't belong.  

It's so important to listen when God says NO and to move on without questioning.

It's also important to remember where my success comes from.  It doesn't come from a program but it comes from God.  My provision comes from God.

Make Room

The word I keep hearing is to Make Room.

Say NO to the mediocre and stuff you shouldn't be doing so that you can have room for what is coming.  Now while we know that this would be saluted


I don't know if that's all we are making room for.  I do know that I need to be making room in every area of my life.

God keeps impressing upon me to make room and get financially stable so that we can cracking on this vision he gave me all those years.

Just like Abram had to part with Lot, I am continuing to part ways with Lot.  It was coming up during the Daniel Fast and it continues to be confirmed and it keeps getting louder.  

Earlier in this season I parted with some unproductive activities like thinking about old emotionally unavailable crushes. Enough already.  They represent scarcity and not enough of anything whether it's faith or belief that I Deserve a good gift. 

After I parted with that Lot, this happened

Fresh Vision
Fresh Vision:  I saw it all differently....and asked God to make me different

I anticipate this parting to produce vision in the same way and so far it has.  

I've gone back to writing essays and reading.  Before I felt bad about that and like it wasn't productive, but now I see it differently.  I'm making room, getting prepared, and getting into alignment for the exciting new season.  I am reminded of my vision and I see it in a fresh way.

I don't know why but I know this is what I am supposed to do.


I am giving the WEIGHT of my WAIT to God.  

I mean something is changing.  I even asked God to make me submissive.  

COME ON NOW!! Something is happening.
