Reset From Grief And Trauma

So..this Easter has been a hard place. I’ve been doing some mental reset work so I think my nerves are a little more raw….but I’m ok with that.

Grief. I faced it last month with losing Dave’s mom. Then this Easter morning I was awaken by a text that my precious Aunt had passed away at 4:30am.

But when thinking about you amidst all this, I know you can understand the daily blows of life that feel like sucker punches

I get it. The process sometimes wants to squeeze the life out of you.

I sense you may need this “In The Vine” word to remind you of this promise in the Vine.

So reset. Believe this:

You have a voice. Don’t freak out amidst the process.

Think of process as this: Process is about relationship with a loving Father who celebrates progress not perfection.

Did you know there is purpose amidst weary days. Yes! From despair to devastation, you can still find purpose! The process can be the pressure to produce fruit in your life that someone else needs.

It’s part of a shift. It’s time for the Father’s Heart to be released to you! Someone in the dark is waiting for you to speak a word to them.

Amidst the squeeze and pressure you feel, He is there. His Word says He perfects that which concerns Him (Psalm 138). You concern Him. After all He is the author and perfecter of your faith! (Hebrews 12:2)

The Word says His promises have abundant life attached. He is all about you walking in joy and peace.

So go to the Word and hold on to His promises, His Words He has spoken to you. His promises are “yes and Amen”….

I believe God is raising up people like you to go from weary days to wonder-filled days, from gorey stories to glory stories.

Your voice is a part of the answer for the Kingdom of heaven to be released on the earth.

Stay in the soil of His promises amidst the  process so that you can be that ripe fruit, spilling forth the “sweet wine (juice)”, to bring refreshment and healing every where you go.

One final thought.

9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. Galatians 6:9

And a word from the Vinedresser:

“Trust Me! You will lack nothing as you walk each day intimately connected to Me, in this Vineyard of your heart. Here lies the rich soil of My Presence to help you grow. I will be generous with My gifts, giving you more than enough…more grace and more glory. Keep walking with integrity and watch Me provide. You will never be in lack as I always have your back.

“It’s a process. It’s a journey. You are mine. Let go and believe your times are in My Hand. So, don’t strive, simply abide, in the Vine.” Love the Vinedresser”
