mid-feb declaration

waiting seasons are growing seasons

waiting seasons are brewing seasons 

waiting seasons are the seasons before beautiful, blossoming seasons 

I will grow, I will look to the Lord, I will give Him my all. I will not grow faint with worry or be overwhelmed by how I feel (or can't seem to feel). I will wait upon the Lord for He knows the plans He has for me. I don't need to know. He knows. And He will work all things for my good because I love Him and am called according to His purpose. The Lord is my guide- He reveals to me which way I should go. In Him there is clarity but clarity in due time. All the more I should rely on Him, all the more I should wait upon Him. 

I will crown Jesus the King of my life. He is the reason I have a purpose every single day. I will listen out to what He has for me, and hear Him share with me what He has for me. I will be sensitive and I will learn to obey His every word. Because I know that my God is for me, not against me. 

I will be a light where ever I go. Not because I can, but because He says that I am. The spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me, He has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor, to bind up the broken hearted, to set the captives free. I am anointed to be light in this world. Consciously, I will show grace to someone who needs grace. Not as someone who is perfect, but also as a recipient of grace.  

I will learn to love myself. To not hunger after the body that I do not have. To love the one that I own. Because beauty is only skin deep- what matters is my soul. I will learn to speak positive things into my own life and be thankful always to God that He has given me great and amazing things. I will be thankful for health, for favor, for family, for friends. I will not wallow in a pit of self pity. I will rise up to praise God because He has done great things! 

I will be a child of God, live out my identity as a child of God. And press in to know my Maker like I've never known before. In Jesus' Name I declare! Amen.
