Many people have been wondering where I've been, and if I'm ok.
I am great, and haven't gone away.
I have been in a short season of rest. I had been living and breathing in an heightened warfare mode for so long, I didn't realise just how intense the battle was - until I was called out.
Suddenly, God took me out of the battle and said, "It's time to rest".
So that's where I've been. In a new cocoon. There is always warfare, but not every battle needs to be fought.
I have loved this cocoon, but the purpose of a cocoon is to prepare. You can't stay in a cocoon and expect to become a butterfly! So, I have been in preparation of a new season. My wings have been strengthened and expanded. I don't know what this season will bring, but I know I am not the same person who went into the cocoon.
If God didn't call me out of the battle, I would still be in it. It was my normal. I would have obediently continued fighting. But now I have been on the sidelines, I know there is a new battle. To everything there is a season (Ecclesiastes 3).
I'm grateful for this cocoon season, but now my heart knows it's time to push out and spread my wings again.
I don't know what this new year holds... I have expectations, but ultimately I am in the hands of my creator. If He is not in it, I don't want it. I look forward to seeing where He sends these new wings. 🦋
