I remember somewhere back in June.
BURNING to go to second year and I was penniless absolutely broke. ABSOLUTELY BROKE.
Searching for a job back home in Ohio.
And right then I had a choice to make. "am I going to stay here in Toledo and work and save and maybe go back to school in a few years or can I dream the impossible in the misdt of tons of people giving me advice and "wisdom" trying to talk me out of second year because of my finances ect.."
But though my wallet and bank account were empty my heart was full of dreams and my mind packed with testimonies of an extravagant God who gives good gifts to his kids!
But when we dare to dream.. He meets us.
When we step out... He brings himself. The answer to every problum.
The one who invades impossibilities with CRAZY solutions.
I refuse to believe I could ever have a need he wouldn't meet.
God is so in love with us, and as we drink in that love. Impossibilities really begin to look logical. ha!
It is God's good pleasure to give us His kingdom. Luke 12:32
I don't believe I can out dream God.
I remember just remembering all of these impossible situations in my life and saying in my heart "I refuse to empower any mindsets that say I live in a kingdom of lack where dreams don't come true."
And since then
I got a job or one job twice in two different states ;)
crazy amounts of provision..
Checks from strangers
Random payments on my tuition in the form of 100s of dollars
my tuition almost entirely paid from gifts and work
people raised up around me who really believe in me..
it is crazy
crazy crazy the gifts of God I am so thankful, rocked, humbled by the grace and love of GOD!!
Through His people!
I just want to thank you for believing in my life!
He just wants to show off His love in crazy ways.
Take it my breakthroughs are yours!!
PS. I will be in Colombus, Ohio in Feburary I am going to be part of a healing conference with Chris Gore and Joaquin Evans. It is such an honor to go on this trip and think about serving what god is doing in Ohio! It feels good to know I will be "home" or 2 hours from there, justthe thought of a real gyro or Tim Horton's make me smile. I really also believe there is nothing like seeing God move at "home" such an honor.. oh and I will be able to probably see some people I love such as my dad and George and Sarah.
hmmm...
ReplyDeletefirst of all: I adore Naomi.
secondly, I've been trying to go to sleep for a while now and God had me read Psalm 1-2:8 (emphasis on 2:7-8) over Cincinnati. I don't know why, but then I hopped online and saw your blog. I forgot you were from Ohio. Anyhow, when you go there next month you can sprinkle those passages all over the state - especially if you pass through Cincinnati.
Ohio belongs to Jesus. ROAR.
Oh Dawn I ADORE YOU!!
