God never hurries


God Always Confirms

So many times in my life, I’ve run ahead of God—trying to fix or control situations, thinking I was doing the right thing, even believing I had heard from Him. But the truth is, God never hurries, and He always confirms His word.

Yes, there are moments when immediate obedience is required—a quick “yes” in faith. But more often than not, God nudges us and then sends confirmation, usually more than once, especially when we ask Him to. He’s faithful like that.

When I’ve rushed ahead in my own strength, even with good intentions, I’ve often found myself exhausted, confused, or needing to backpedal. It’s not that God didn’t give the word—it’s that I forgot to sit with Him long enough to get the full set of instructions.

This week, I had the honor of a deep encounter with God. In this moment, He handed me a vision—blessings wrapped in silver and gold, presented on a platter. At first, it felt strange to receive such things. I wasn’t sure how to process it. I’m still unpacking it, honestly. But I trust Him, and I know He will reveal the fullness in time.

And in true "Daddy" style, He sent a confirmation.

Yesterday, I opened the mail to find some “happy mail,” as my beautiful friend called it. She sent me a thoughtful gift—a handwritten note, a small token, and a book. I was so touched that I nearly cried. But in typical me fashion, I didn’t take the time to really absorb what the book was… until later that evening.

As I walked by the book again, the Holy Spirit whispered, “What’s the name of that book?”

I stopped. Looked.

“The Bible Promise Book.”

I smiled. Because when God handed me the silver and gold in my vision, He said it represented all the blessings and promises in His Word.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

God winked. He confirmed. And He reminded me—He really does love me, just as I am.

Scripture for Reflection:
“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.”
—Psalm 37:23 (NLT)

Reflection Prompt:
Have you asked God for confirmation lately? Are you waiting on clarity, or rushing ahead? Take time today to sit quietly and ask Him to confirm the path He’s set before you.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for loving me so personally. Thank You for being a God who speaks, who leads, and who confirms. Help me to slow down, to trust Your timing, and to recognize Your gentle nudges and affirmations. Remind me that Your promises are for me—and they are always worth the wait. Amen.

No fear

Well, that escalated quickly. We are officially in a financial hole, and at this point, only God can get us out. We’ve done the diligent work to get out of debt—but we haven’t built stability. That “one paycheck away from broke” warning? It’s real. And today, it hit home. This morning we found out that Scott’s entire paycheck for the week was used to cover medical expenses. The  entire check. And of course, this is the week when all the major bills are set to come out. Now we’re sitting here with nothing to cover them. So, now what? Well—I could beat myself up for not preparing better. But the truth is, we  have  been preparing. More than ever. And yet here we are, between a rock and a hard place. Now, I’ll be honest: the temptation to run back to old comforts like food or distraction is real. But guess what? I just started a 90-day focus on my health and healing this week. Can you say the stupid slimeball enemy just  overplayed his hand ? If the goal of this chaos w...

The Blueprint Begins

The Beginning I never would have imagined there was such a thing as a “Heaven blueprint.”   Growing up in survival mode—surrounded by chaos, confusion, and abuse—I didn’t even know what Heaven really was. Don’t get me wrong, I went to church with my grandma. And after my mom and dad divorced, my mom would toss us on the church bus whenever it rolled through our neighborhood—probably just to get a couple hours of peace (and now, after raising four kids myself, I totally get it). I enjoyed going. We got a snack, we sang songs, and for some reason, I was always captivated by the messages. It was a Southern Baptist church, and the pastor preached hellfire and brimstone like it was his full-time job. Honestly, I credit his vivid descriptions of hell with why I gave my life to Jesus at just 8 years old. No way was I trying to go there. Shortly after, my little brother knelt in front of the TV while we watched The 700 Club and got saved too. Then a neighborhood friend gave his life to Jes...

The Call

  Blog 4: The Call It’s a Seek. See. Act. season. If I’ve learned anything in this life, it’s this: God has always been there . Everything I’ve ever needed has already been planted within me—I just didn’t know how to access it. And if there’s one constant in life, it’s change. With every new season comes a fresh invitation to grow, to heal, and to evolve. But those invitations don’t always look like doors—they often look like storms, struggles, or silent stretches. Looking back over the story I’ve shared so far, here’s what most people don’t realize: I was saved for years, but I didn’t know God. I hadn’t met the Holy Spirit. I didn’t understand that I was the daughter of a King, an heir to Heaven’s throne. That truth was hard for me to accept. I was raised in chaos, shaped by survival. So the idea that I was royalty? Destined for divine inheritance? That felt impossible. Unbelievable. I could believe it for everyone else. When I read the Bible, I believed the promises—fo...
