IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS...

Confession : I struggled with fear of facing trials and the storms of life. Anything that came into my perfect built bubble caused surges of anxiety and soon had me crawling into a little ball. But, as we all know they're inevitably and in one season or another you will find yourself within the rushing winds and immense waves that come crashing down on all you knew and your perfectly constructed world. .

But you know, I have come to learn that amongst the storms is where true freedom and growth is found. In these dark and scary places I got to experience and personally know the immense love and peace that is extended to us all.

Like a seed buried deep in soil. While shut away, in the place where struggles are hidden from the world, and often within the depths of your heart. Our God is there working, sometimes silently, but one thing that was always certain, His love always, always came out shouting! In a blink of an eye there is light again, the winds seize and the waters are stilled. 

Your vision is now cleared and you find yourself blooming into that beautiful flower you were created to be.

I don't know where you find yourself today but as globally we all face this crisis I encourage you to let go of fear, to rest and step in into all the sweet promises available for us all. To allow yourself to be a seed that can be nourished and kept by the greatest agriculturist of them all, Jesus. . .

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

John 16: 33

“ Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 .

“ For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7

Stay strong,
