Dreaming with Adonai

  
I'm finding myself consumed with dreams of my ministry and what it looks like. What I seek to create is also what I long for and feel so many others do as well. Its so easy to get caught up in the world, left feeling isolated in your beliefs and way of living. (My spirit tells me this is a lie of the enemy. A way to further separate us because when two or more are gathered together He is among them. There is much power in uniting.) 
    There were many years I wasn't "into" church as a building, the thought almost made my skin crawl. I have always loved Jesus but what I'd seen, what I'd experience was not who I knew Jesus to be. It bothered me so much that when I would share my faith I'd make sure to include that I wasn't your "typical christian". I know that selfishness is one of my many downfalls, its something I'm becoming more aware of and working to correct. I say this because I realize now that while there was nothing wrong with my not agreeing with modern day "church culture", it was a selfish act to remove myself from the body of Christ. (What the church is called to be) I'm getting better at discerning my feelings and picking up on what Holy Spirit wants me to hear. I can see now that this was the beginning of my awakening to the irreplaceable role I play! 
    My role as wife, my role in the "church" community, my role in ministry (whatever that looks like), even my role for generations to come. Its my heart's truest desire to serve God and share His love! This is the foundation I live from, may all that I do stem from this. When I allow myself to dream about what this might actually look like I see things like this blog, my precious little white space, growing by leaps and bounds.
    An online presence that ties all outreaches together, a blog- style ministry that promotes Christ- centered living and wellness in mind, body, and spirit. A YouTube channel exploring holy wellness with vlog- style updates, a dash of real life stuff, mixed with feel- good soul food like bible studies and devotions. I see classes, meet ups, and retreats where our community can get together to love and grow! Even a studio space where classes take place to strengthen you physically and walk you deeper into relationship with Him.
    God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called and I am so thankful for this. When trying to turn these dreams into logical steps I can get overwhelmed easily by my inadequacy. Those swirling creative thoughts can quickly brew a tornado of self doubt; "I am nothing special", "No one's going to pay attention to me." So I react taking my thoughts captive and resting in the truth that He does not stir my spirit without providing a way for His will. 
    A new season is on the horizon and change is in the air. Be sure to stay tuned for exciting new beginnings as these dreams start to manifest. It makes my heart so happy that you are here, I know its by divine appointment that you are. So let's connect, let's continue to cultivate a community of like- souls living in a world we are not apart of.
