Moving Forward Without Looking Back
What does faith require when respect is non-negotiable?
Love,
My brother sent a message in the family group chat this morning saying he downloaded the Lawrence Welk and Andy Williams Christmas specials for us. We watch them every Christmas Eve, so it made me really happy to hear that.
When I couldn’t be with my family in past years, I would still watch it by myself and think of them. So being able to watch it in the same room this year feels really special. I’m honestly looking forward to it more than I realized.
God also put it on my heart to say that if anyone is using Alwyn’s identity or harassing him, please stop and repent. I have not had any contact with him in any way since I started this platform. There is no reason for him to be targeted or in the middle of any of this.
I’m not exactly sure what the future looks like yet, but I’d rather walk with God on my own than be with someone who can’t love me with respect or commit wholeheartedly.
God has shown me a few things about the future that I’ll share soon. And I can say with confidence that the boys will be so proud of you. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. There is purpose in all of this. God will take care of us, and He will keep us safe until the time is right.
And remember, it will all work out in the end. If it hasn’t worked out, it’s not the end.
Something happened today that made me think about how easy it is to respond from old wounds. I realized how quickly I can make assumptions about someone’s intentions just because of past experiences. I’m trying to be more aware of that and work through it, but I’m still learning how to navigate it. Thank you for being patient and understanding.
This song came to mind today, and I remembered someone mentioning how unusual it was that there’s a cat in the video. I still think it’s a little strange. I also noticed another interesting stamp today, and then this clip from Curious George stood out to me as well. I’m not sure what to make of any of it yet. Would you please seek the Lord for any insights?
I felt like God wanted me to remind you of Jeremiah 1:5. You were known and chosen on purpose, and He will make sure you have everything you need for what’s ahead.
The song Way Maker has been standing out to me this week. Just a reminder to never give up on the promises God has spoken. He really is the God who makes a way when we can’t see one.
Peace to you in Christ.
With love, Jeanie
