It has been a while since I last posted and I thought I would update you on what the Lord has been working and doing in my life. Since November 15, I have turned 24! I am so excited to start this new year on a grand journey with my maker, my Father, my lover, and my friend. For my birthday I spent the day with my family, my friends, and the desert. For a while, I had wanted to see the stars, to worship the Lord for my life that He has sustained and given me. I talked to my friend Zaphy and she hopped on board with the idea. After visiting my family, a small band of my friends went out to Joshua Tree and found a place of solitude. We worshiped and I, in the presence of my friends and in the secret of my heart dedicated this next year to Abba. I gave Him back my life.
I am so done living life as normal. I am done living mediocre and thinking that where I am now is enough. … because it’s not. I know that there is so much more that the Father has for me. He has a great plan, one that is so much bigger than I could ever imagine. He has so much of Himself for me, His love and the power of a life fully immersed in His presence. I was given a name…. Aisha. It means life. I truly know that life is where I am to dwell in, that I am to be life, not my own but His. This is a small part of my heart’s desire and I plan on taking this year and relentlessly pursuing Him, dedicated every day to this Holy calling.
Since the last post, my Lover has been continuing to call to me, to speak words of Truth, to call me by name, to speak His Word, to tell me who I truly am. It has been difficult. The spirit of this age and the prince of this world has noticed my stirring heart and has tried to separate me, make me doubt, make me unsure of Abba’s words. I have had to battle against my own will, my own way. Abba though has broken some old chains that I once had. I feel freer now than I ever have before. The battle still presses on and slowly the true warrior is teaching me how to use what He has given me to fight against the adversary.
I praise the Lord because my hope is in Him; He is my shelter, my refuge. I stand underneath the shadow of His wings and meditate on His goodness.
I am a crown of splendor in the Lords hand, a royal diadem in the hand of my God.
I am full of beauty, I am delighted in, I am beloved, I am a daughter of the King.
All because of who HE IS, my dwelling place. This is where I am.
Oh p.s. If you read this before the last week of December, please keep me in your prayers. I am contemplating a possible internship in addition to the same amount of time I work at the girl’s house. I want to walk in His way and inquire if this is a wise, right, good decision and if this is His will for me. Please pray that my eyes would be open to Abba’s already set plan and to step into it by His direction.
Thank you so much!!!
