A new decade is upon us, and we say goodbye 2019, hello to 2020! In the last ten years, my family and I moved to Israel, countless memories were made, and many trials attempted to tear everything apart. I can’t begin to describe what has transpired since 2010, so instead, I’ll focus on the year that we have just left behind us!

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” ~ Isaiah 61:1-3
Beauty for ashes — We hear this phrase and read this passage often in meetings and Bible studies; however, when you dive into the sentences surrounds this popular quote, we learn that there is far more to this chapter than the promise of making beauty for ashes!
We all want to be free and become beautiful, but, as I was a Bible study last Tuesday night, I read this passage with new eyes and felt tears well up in my eyes at the magnificence of the words.
Believers are told that our mission is to share the Good News of the Gospel of the Kingdom with the world. If you are on fire for God, then you can’t help but shout His majesty to everyone around you, but, as I read Isaiah 61:1-3, I realized that there is more to plight than just spreading the news of Yeshua.
According to the Scripture, we are to serve the poor, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives, bring light into the darkness, proclaim both God’s year of favor and day of vengeance, comfort and provide for those who are grieving, and anoint them with joy instead of mourning. We are to be there for our brothers and sister in Yeshua and help lead them towards their Heavenly Father.
We can sow as many seeds of the Gospel as we like, but at some point, God is going to call us to help water, sow, and glean the harvest!
When God revealed all of this to me, I heard Him say, “This is the calling I have placed on your life.” Through my upcoming books and blog posts, I feel God using me to reach those who are trapped or lonely by sharing His Word and pointing them towards them the door where there is freedom. I want to be one of the oaks of righteousness as found in verse 3, and pray that others will join me so that we will become an active forest that displays His splendor!

God has chosen you! Whatever you need, He will provide and guide you!
After a fantastic trip to London, I’ve come back to Israel and feel like something is missing. Rereading my prayers from this week, I noticed that most of my requests had to do with relationships. One of my greatest desires, right now, is to find new friends and make new connections.
No longer wanting to feel like an outsider, I bowed at the feet of my Father and gave all my worries and hopes to Him. I serve a God who is faithful and always listening. As I poured my heart out to Him each day, He heard my prayers and answered them. Last night, I had the chance to meet up with a friend who was visiting from the States and somehow found myself in a room of girls my age who are living just 20 minutes away from me! I came home really encouraged and knew I needed to share this story with you.
If you are feeling discouraged or lonely, take your cares to the Lord because He waiting with outstretched arms and open ears to comfort and help you. Please feel free to send me a message if you would like someone to chat and pray with!
God has chosen you! Whatever you need, He will provide and guide you!
Life is an incredible gift from God, and having the chance to watch plants sprout, animals grow, and humans age is such an honor!
There couldn’t be a better time for this verse than today. The world is waking up to the glory of our Lord, and listening to people talk about the Bible! Through all the pain, suffering, and sadness, there is still hope to be found in Yeshua the Messiah, and I’m beyond excited to see more people come to know their Heavenly Father! 🙌🏼😊
