say that this battle is not one for you to struggle through. This is one for you to rest through. Do what is necessary to set the process in motion but the Lord wants to lead you in a new pathway for you, a pathway of resting and watching him powerfully at work on your behalf as you trust and thank Him for His loving presence with you to heal and help you. He calls you to trust him and chose to lay down the ways that you have previously used to organise your life – His blessing is upon your great talents and giftings to do this but again I hear Him say “this is a new way He wants to open up for you”. My prayer for you is that you will be filled with joy and praise as you see your loving Heavenly Father work on your behalf.With love and prayer

Bryn,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write! Its an interesting word. When I was getting frantic about finding a job a couple months ago, I was in tears one Friday night (as bills mount up and funds.....well no funds to pay them, and no good job prospect yet).......I suddenly received a word from the Lord, to "Stand and see the salvation of the Lord." Suddenly a peace came over me, and no more tears or fear. I hung on to that word for the next couple months as things became darker and bleaker. Moses received a similar word when he was standing at the red sea with the pharaoh baring down on him. My situation has really been "red sea-ish" lately! But the Lord came through beautifully. So far the new position seems great. So, I receive your word!
I spent the weekend driving back down to Newport Beach everyday to try to find an apt. to rent. I've been as busy as a "one-armed paper hanger". So exhausted on Saturday night......well, lots of tears. BUT yesterday I found this really NICE apt., kind of in a remote rural environment with rolling hills out my windows, very peaceful and tranquil, and they only had one unit available so I put a deposit down. Amazingly, its only 15 minute drive to the office. Now I'm hoping that I "qualify" for the lease! This all seems risky to me, and a bit overwhelming. But I did feel peaceful putting down the deposit. Well, the journey of a thousand steps begins with the first one. I got that first one out of the way this weekend, (I hope). Next project will be to sell condo (get it all cleaned up & put on the market) and then pack and move. (All in my "spare time". Ha!)
Anyway, I feared that my health would not hold out, but so far, in spite of a very busy weekend, its Monday morning and I feel ok. Gotta go!
Thanks so MUCH! And God BLESS YOU!!
PS: "Rest, huh?" I wouldn't have thought of it. But I guess, if this IS the direction that the Lord wants me to take, I can trust that He has gone before me and made sure that I am led to the right place and make the right decisions.
Maranatha!
Deborah
