4 years ago, I wrote in my scriptures how I needed courage to fly to New York.

Fast forward 4 years to now, I need courage greater than ever before.

And just like then,

sticking a piece of paper in my pocket, keeping these words close to my heart:

“I [Christ] am with thee & will keep YOU [me] in ALL places YOU [I] go. I [Christ] will not leave YOU [me] until I have done which I [Christ] have spoken.”

I keep those words close now.

It’s beautiful to know that NO MATTER WHAT your challenges are GOD is always on your side.

“Be strong and of good courage.”

YOUR courage, YOUR partnership with the LORD will prosper YOU.

It will lead YOU to YOUR land of inheritance, the Promise Land.

HE will help YOU prosper and be successful.

Not in money or fame, but in blessings and glory in HIS name.

Joshua Chapter 2 had me thinking of the many ways Christ has protected me,
lifted me to “roof tops”,
given me salvation through HIS sacrifice: a “scarlet cord”, provided a solution like “a door” to pass through,
taken me to the mountain of the Lord: HIS house,
and many other things that have “passed over” that I don’t even know, because of my faith in HIM.

I wrote another analogy of Joshua ch.2 on the green post-it notes in my scriptures if you’d like to read, as I don’t think I can re-write it here.

I haven’t posted here in a while. I’ve needed to concentrate my efforts elsewhere, but today, I just felt I needed to share this.

I felt I needed to share my testimony, just like Rahab heard of the miracle at the Red Sea, the saving, protecting hand of GOD, AND the 2 spies/seekers that Joshua sent to Jericho which returned and gave an account/testimony which brought many to know GOD: “to faint” which is symbolic for seeing the hand of the Lord or believing in the Lord, and falling to their knees to worship HIM.

Maybe, just maybe someone needs my witness, my testimony here.

GOD is so good.
GOD is for YOU!

I love that I know this to be true.
It is everything to me.
I hope you know it too.

Love & Light,
Michelle

Give me an amen if you believe this too. 🙏

JESUS LIVES!

I wanted to share so many thoughts & feelings, but there isn’t enough room here, so I thought I’d just share my scriptures open wide from the HOLIEST WEEK ever.

And the most important message:

JESUS’ LIVES!

HIS teachings and example, HIS suffering, death, and resurrection ALL of this was done for US.

And a reflection of GOD’s love for US.

JESUS LOVES YOU.
GOD LOVES YOU.

Love & Light,
Michelle
