FROM THE TRENCHES

The darkest hour is just before dawn. I’ve heard this saying all my life, and it’s so true. When my life feels overwhelming, and the pain of it all has me twisted in knots, I know the blessings are coming. God even uses my previous trials to remind me that He’s not forgotten about me and won’t leave me in the trenches.

Today, thirteen years ago, I signed a contract for my first Zippy book.

But it was so much more than a contract and a book. It was a gift from God. God gave me the gift of writing and the desire to help others. I was so scared. The enemy told me how unworthy and unqualified I was to do the Lord’s work.

In the last thirteen years, I have fought so many battles and endured so many spiritual attacks. But it’s all worth it when the Lord uses me and my experiences to help someone else.

I’m not someone who will stand on the mountain and tell you everything will be okay. I’m someone who will climb down into the trenches with you. I go through things so that I can help other people with hardships.

The enemy is attacking me right now. With each blow, the Lord encourages me to keep going. Someday, someone will need my experience with this trial to give them hope.

So, I keep fighting against the enemy’s attacks and trusting my Lord. Today, I’m thankful that my precious Lord took me back to one of the most beautiful moments and reminded me how He worked it all out for me then. And I know He will do it again.

I’m standing on Faith and the Promises of my Lord. One day, I will look back on this trial with such gratitude. Today, I’m thankful for the gift it has already given me.

This trial has shown me that I can do this work with God. I am chosen, good enough, highly favored, and deeply loved by my precious Lord.

So, I keep putting one foot in front of the other, TRUSTING MY LORD COMPLETELY TO TAKE CARE OF IT ALL FOR ME.
