Beyond My Wildest Dreams

Disclaimer: My blog is written for any and everyone who want to be inspired and join me on this journey. However, I am aware that everyone has different religious beliefs. I am in no way pushing my beliefs on anyone else. This blog is to honor the Heavenly Father who has transformed my life. You are always welcome to keep reading but if you are not interested in this type of material, my feelings will not be hurt. To the others....ENJOY!

Relationships are needed in society. They help you grow into a trusted community for support and understanding through good and bad times in life. Many people are aware of this. But it takes work to build a great community, which then trickles down to putting in work to build a great relationship with others. Some of this work includes communication, visitation, and vulnerability. In order for a relationship to be successful, both parties must show up as their full selves, and displaying a desire to elevate in a certain space with one another. When it comes to being in a relationship with God, it is the same thing: time, communication, and vulnerability. These beginning elements form a wonderful foundation that leads to trust in uncertain and certain seasons within the human life. I must say, I am learning and STILL learning this now. The trust and letting go of control is the level that I am in building this firm and sound relationship with God. But at the beginning of this year, I was not ready to do that.

One of the reasons I was not ready to trust God fully was because I felt like there were things that I had asked for in the past to change, that never came to fruition. Because of my disappointment, I ended up not really speaking too much on other basic needs that I had. I soon realized how big of a mistake that was. The second reason why I was not ready to trust God and fully let go of control was because I wanted things to happen at the time that I wanted it to happen. I rush things! Yes, I just admitted that I rush things. I feel like everything and anything should happen on my time when I think about it. However, as I have grown, I have come to the understanding that my time is not always accurate of how blessings and transitional periods should happen. I may not be ready for the blessing, I may not fully understand what is going on, I am also not allowing God to show me what He can really and truly do for me. All of this I had acknowledged and understood. So the real vulnerable moment came when I needed to move to a new place because my lease was up in my old apartment. Typical me, I waited to the last minute to start doing stuff. This time, it wasn't because I was being a procrastinator. It was because I was worried that I would run into the same issues that I ran into before I moved.

Issues will arise and my fear was that I was going to be homeless and not know what to do. I cried and I was scared. I was scared for a long time. I then made a decision to pray. I opened up a moment for Him to show me what His helped looked like outside of me controlling things. Could the impossible really be done? Yes it can!

The impossible was first made possible when I decided to just be vulnerable in my prayer and tell God my basic needs. I just named a few small things. Then energy shifted. For the next few weeks there was a peace that was placed on me that I did not question but just felt was there. Next, God used people to help in this situation. When you choose to let go and let Him do all the work, He will use people who don't even believe in Him to bless you. Trust me, I was surprised. Then, the unthinkable happened....I got my new apartment. But this wasn't any apartment. The added additions to the place were beyond my wildest dreams. I applied for an apartment, but was blessed with an apartment loft! Do you understand how much my mind was blown?! I wanted basic level and this was under my control and my timing. God wanted more for me. And during this time, there was so much that I needed to release and really reveal that needed to change and be cut in order for me to grow in Him. Lust, control and bad decisions, etc. It was hard. It was heartbreaking. But it was necessary in order to let go and let God. The place is absolutely gorgeous along with a fire place, new cabinets in bathroom and kitchen and a gorgeous mirror so I can play dress up LOL!!

And beyond the material blessing of this, I was also blessed with the urgency and desire to only trust God when things are not right in my life. What is the result? Peace that I do not understand in the midst of storms that come. Yes, I still get storms even when I let go and even when I begin to trust Him. But for some reason, I like trusting Him. Why? Because He continuously keeps blessing me (material and non-material) beyond my wildest dreams. And I don't know about you, but I was never qualified for that place. EVERY APARTMENT COMPLEX, turned me down. So if my Heavenly Father can make a miracle happen that makes no sense, I am okay to sit back and give everything over to Him, even when I don't like it.....even when I don't want to....even why I am the one that needs discipline and correction. He hits the mark every time of meeting my wildest dreams. And I must state this, anything that God gives you will come without confusion because it was specifically meant FOR YOU. When it relates to peace, that peace is now something I love and strive for instead of the material things, because it gives me reassurance that He is still with me and still cares no matter what I go through in life.

Life will throw many curve balls at you. Some situations you can get right back up and others it will literally break your heart. Just understand, everything you face and need help with, God can handle it....BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS! And anything that was taken from you (family, friends, basic needs, peace) will be restored in different ways once you give it over to Him. The more you trust, the more time you give, the more time you listen, and the more patience you are, you begin that bond with Him that you don't want broken. This is the type of relationship that goes beyond and also builds a great community of loving and understand people. It is everything!

Sending love your way,
