Just 6 months ago, my family and I were living in a 4-seater sports car with a 5 month old and been there since she was 3 months. As crazy as it sounds, it was out of obedience to God’s direction to move everything to Atlanta, have my husband take a job BEFORE we even had a place to stay, and told us to continue our search for our home. ⠀
⠀
He promised that He’d seen my tears and He’d give me double for my trouble. He promised that the original amount that we were approved for would NOT be our home, but that He would show us how He multiplies. He promised that where we were going our past couldn’t go and He would lead us to our Promised Land. And He also promised that our home would come when my son/twins came. He said our new home story would be bigger than my pregnancy story (read 👉🏾 Cierra N. Love Holt). He did not lie. ⠀
⠀
Neither was expected, so we thought we just heard wrong... we thought “Baby Titan” was our son and we would be in our home by the end of the year as He said we would. Come to find out Baby Titan was actually Baby Titaness 😆💖 and our “home 13 days before the new year was another temporary rental. 3️⃣ months later... I was pregnant 🤰🏽. And 6 months after living in our car, we’re living in our almost 4,000sqft home and expecting our son (part 2 of that twin set He mentioned 🙃).⠀
⠀
He reminded us over and over again how close we were and not to give up but to just trust Him and His process. He both were ready to just be normal again, but no matter how much we ran back to wanting normalcy, He would remind us that’s not what He called for us to be. Our purpose was much bigger and our story would speak volumes of His ability and power when we surrender ourselves completely over to His will and destiny for our lives. How crazy we were to believe that where we are now would have ever happened when just 6 months ago...✨
My God, Our Father, will never lie to you. He will do what He says He will do. While in the Wilderness, it felt like forever and we saw no end. Every time we tried to make it out ourselves, it would fall through. He reminded us that it would not be anything we did or could do but by His Spirit only would we see His promises fulfilled. And that’s exactly what happened. It didn’t feel like overnight. It didn’t feel like soon. But if I had known that in 6 months I’d be here if I could just hold on... I’ll definitely accept this overnight miracle. And for this reason, we have no choice but to trust the last 6 months of this year, the last 4 months of this pregnancy, the last of the assignments and things He’s directed us to do are slowly revealing themselves. But patience is growing as our faith is stretched. Some things are looking really impossible right now but we know what He said. This home 6 months ago was unthinkable, unimaginable. But here we are.
Don’t give up. You’re so close. Trust Him and His process. Pray for the strength through the stretch. Pray for peace when your mind wants to take over. Eyes have not seen, nor ears heard what He’s got planned for you — but you will it begin to be revealed for yourself sooner than you think. 2020 isn’t cancelled. 2020 is your beginning of a new season, and you will make history for yourself and your family. Just wait and see.
