ordained isolation.

Summer 2018 I spent a good chunk of time in Philadelphia after being offered the last minute opportunity to study there. Everything about that month and some change was God ordained. So many of the prayers prayed in heaps of tears during that time are still being answered and every time, I remember that time with much reverence and abounding gratitude.

I realize now that many of the things I was praying to be delivered from were the exact circumstances that allowed me to be properly positioned in shear desperation. I felt utterly alone, without community. The exact place I needed to be in to hear and reach out for Christ’s comfort at that time. Praying about work and finances when the only reason I was there, housed in a new city, dancing everyday, something I’d been longing for, was a result of an unpaid position I took on months earlier that even before then had led to provision.

As things begin to shift again. And things may begin to look hopeless, I implore you. Pause. Examine what ails you and while you pray through, take note of these moments. Remembrance, I believe is one of our greatest, under exercised tools against the enemy. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. We don’t only testify to others but to ourselves as well. kk. byeee. 💕
