My Journey to the One Who Never Lets Go

 Life can feel like a battle sometimes. You’re trying to hold it all together—your family, your job, your emotions—but deep down, you’re tired. You wonder if you're doing enough. If you're strong enough. 

But there’s good news: You don’t have to fight alone.

Don't forget the story of Moses in Exodus 17.  As long as Moses held his hands up to God, they kept winning the battle. When he got tired, his friends helped him keep his hands raised. After the victory, Moses called God Jehovah Nissi—“The Lord is my Banner.”

A banner is something lifted high so everyone can see it. It’s a sign of victory, hope, and identity. And right now, God is waving His banner over you.

He’s holding it high in the air, reminding you:
“I’m with you. Keep your eyes on Me.”

He’s giving you hope when you feel hopeless.
Courage when you're afraid.
Peace when everything feels uncertain.

Even when life is hard.
Even when the fight feels long.
Even when you feel weak...

Jehovah Nissi is still your banner.
You are not forgotten.
You are not failing.
You are led and loved by a God who never stops fighting for you.

So take a breath.
Look up.
See the banner waving.
And remember—the One who leads you has already claimed the victory.

I choose to lift my eyes and run to Jehovah Nissi - the one who lifts a banner over me.

The Journey of Becoming –

 

You don’t have to have it all together to be loved by God.

He’s not waiting for you to be perfect — He’s already working in your heart, shaping you, gently calling you closer, even through the hard days.

When you mess up, He doesn’t walk away.
When you feel unworthy, He whispers, “I’m not finished with you yet.”

Jehovah Mekoddishkem means that God Himself is the one making you holy. Not your effort. Not your performance. Just His love and grace working in you, little by little, day by day.

So if today feels messy…
If your thoughts aren’t what they should be…
If you're tired of trying to be "good enough"…

Let this truth settle your heart:

He’s still sanctifying you. You're still His. You're still becoming.

You’re on a journey — and He walks every step with you.

He is Jehovah Mekoddishkem

"Meh" like "met" - 

"KO" rhymes with "go" - 

"deesh" rhymes with "leash

"kem" like "them" but with a "k"

The Journey of Trust — When You Don’t Know What to Do, God Still Provides

When the noise gets loud and the path gets blurry I need a reminder of the one who never changes. This is my reminder:

She had prayed so much already, but now the words wouldn’t come.

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe.
She just didn’t know what else to say.

Then, a stranger came over — with a warm cup of tea and a soft voice. “I don’t know why,” she said, “but I felt like you shouldn’t sit here alone.”

It wasn’t much, but somehow, it was everything.

They sat together.  And in that quiet moment, she felt something change—not the situation, but her heart. She felt peace.

That’s when she remembered: Jehovah Jireh. The Lord who provides.

It reminded her of Abraham and Isaac—how God made a way when it seemed like there was none. God didn’t show up early. He didn’t explain everything. But He showed up right on time.

In that moment, she realized—God wasn’t just going to provide answers. He was already providing comfort. Strength. A reminder that she wasn’t alone.

The road ahead might be hard. But she could walk it, because she knew God was walking with her.

Maybe you’re there too—stuck in a place of waiting or fear. If so, please remember:

God sees you.
He’s with you.
And He’s already working, even if you can’t see it yet.

Jehovah Jireh.
Even now.
Even here.
Even for you

Journey Through the Obstacles

 

Every journey worth taking comes with obstacles.

Sometimes it’s a closed door.
Sometimes it’s a quiet season where nothing seems to move.
Sometimes it’s your own fear whispering that you’re not enough.

But every obstacle is a chance to grow stronger.
Every struggle has the potential to build something in you that comfort never could.

God never promised the road would be smooth. But He did promise to walk with you.

He sees the tears you cry when no one else does.
He knows how heavy the weight feels when you’re trying to do the right thing in a world that keeps pulling the other way.

And He’s not finished with your story.

So don’t give up when it gets hard. Don’t quit when it feels like no one sees the effort you’re putting in. Because this journey—with all its ups and downs—is shaping you into someone stronger, wiser, and more like Christ.

Keep going. Through the obstacles, through the pain, through the doubt. There’s purpose in every step.

When the Journey Feels Endless

Some days, my heart just hurts. Today is one of those days. 

Not because of my own pain, but because I look around and wonder…
Do people even care anymore?

The world moves fast.
We scroll past suffering, silence conviction, soften truth—and when we dare to stand firm, we’re often mocked, judged, or misunderstood.

There’s so much work to do for Christ—lives to reach, love to give, grace to share—
but there’s so little time.

It feels heavy, doesn’t it?

When you know eternity is real…
When you see people chasing comfort over Christ—not pursuing the truth that God reveals—it breaks your heart, because you know eternity is at stake
When the gospel becomes background noise…
You ache.

Because we weren’t made to coast through life.
We were made to carry light into darkness.
To love deeply. To live fully for Jesus.

But here’s the hard truth:
The world may not care.

It may mock your faith.
Ignore your prayers.
Reject your love.

But Jesus does care.
And His Spirit in you still moves—even when it feels like no one’s listening.

So don’t stop.
Don’t grow numb.
Don’t silence the cry in your heart.

If your heart hurts for what hurts His,
you are exactly where you’re supposed to be.

There is still time.
There is still hope.
And even when it feels like no one sees—God does.

So let your heart hurt…
But let it move you to act, love, pray, and keep going.

Because what you do for Christ always matters—even if it hurts, even if your heart aches, it’s worth it in the end.

The Final Journey

 

When the end of my story comes, I don’t want to be known for what I did or what I achieved. I want to be known for the way I loved. For the way I held on to hope when everything felt hopeless. For the way I kept believing God was good, even when I was too broken to say it out loud.

I want them to say, “She was faithful.”

Not because I was strong, but because I let God be strong for me. Because I kept getting back up when life knocked me down. Because I chose to forgive even when it hurt. Because I kept loving even when my heart was tired.

I think about all the days I’ve fallen short. All the prayers I whispered when I was too weak to stand. All the times I felt like giving up but didn’t. Those are the moments I hope matter most.

I want my life to echo faithfulness—to the God who held me through it all, and to the people who needed love most.

When my story is over and I see His face, I just want to hear, “Well done, my child. You were faithful.”

That’s the legacy I want to leave.

The Beautiful Journey of Living with Meaning

 

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on life. On what really matters. On those small moments that stick with me—the ones where I felt connected to something bigger than myself.

I remember my grandma’s gentle hands, folding laundry with care. I remember sitting on the porch with cousins, sharing stories and belly laughs that still echo in my heart. I remember the quiet prayers whispered through tears when everything felt uncertain.

And I realize now that meaning isn’t about what we achieve. It’s about who we love and how we love. It’s found in those tiny, ordinary moments where we choose to show up for each other.

I think of the friends who reached out when I was down, the neighbors who brought a casserole when they knew we needed it, the church family who prayed with me when words wouldn’t come. I think of God’s quiet whispers in my heart, reminding me, “You’re not alone. Keep going. I’m with you.”

A life of meaning and purpose isn’t perfect. It’s messy and beautiful and filled with grace. It’s choosing to say, “I forgive you,” even when it’s hard. It’s showing up with a smile when someone needs it. It’s listening without judgment, and loving without conditions.

So today, I’m reminding myself—and maybe you need the reminder too—that life is about more than chasing goals or checking boxes. It’s about loving well, laughing often, and holding on to hope, even when the path is hard to see.

Because in the end, it’s not the size of our accomplishments that matters—it’s the size of our heart. It’s the love we give, the lives we touch, and the light we bring into the world that make this journey so, so worth it.

Let’s live our lives with hearts wide open, ready to love, ready to serve, and ready to FOLLOW where God leads—no matter what.
