Exit 2018; Enter 2019.

I have been busy. Too busy to even have my documented conversations with God. But what God said to me the last time has been reassuring – “i am not possessive or demanding. i am secure in my relationship with you”.

in the midst of all this, i realized we were approaching september. over the past 3 years, i have observed a trend that God talks to me about the new year in september. but typical of God he does not like to be boxed so this time, he spoke to me in the last week of august.

two words – immeasurable excess.

since then i have been meditating. 2018 was, for me and wifey, a season of overflow. now god pronounces 2019 as a season of immeasurable excess.  apparent synonyms. it’s like a continuation of what has started in 2018.

i was a bit skeptical about this word, until i was in church the sunday after god spoke, and my pastor hinted in passing that gods word for us as a church would be a continuation of his word for 2018. then i got my confirmation. you see me for me, the pastor and the church is never my first opinion of gods will for my life. the pastor and the church is meant to be a confirmation of what god already spoke to me. i think this is what empowers abuse in the church. many christians are too lazy to hear god for themselves, and give pastors the power to manipulate and cult-ize what is meant to be a personal intimate affair with god.

anyways, here’s to 2019. my season of immeasurable excess. my wife and i are excited. time to learn at his feet how to achieve this goal.
