Go and Rebuild the Broken

I wanted to share some of what God is doing in my life this past week, especially this past weekend.

I have been in prayer over the decision for where I am supposed to go and what job I need to take. I feel that God is very clearly telling me to wait. I am not excited about returning to the fashion industry doing the same thing I did before. God is wanting me to be intentional about my decisions. I do however have the urge to go back to the City, but it will be a very different City. I have been asking that God would give me the eyes to see how he sees. And there are areas of brokenness and hurt from the last two years that he is still mending. I'm finally at a point that I'm allowing him to break down walls and heal wounds. I'm also at a place of beginning to forgive myself for mistakes that I've carried with me.
That said, this weekend, the Lord has taken a lot of opportunities to speak to me. He continues to break my heart in order to teach me the ways his heart breaks. The sermon on Sunday morning was about discouragement and the lies the devil uses. We were reading Nehemiah 4:1-15. The key points of the sermon were:
*God is wanting us to be prepared
*Get Ready. God is getting ready to build you up.
*Who is your foundation? How solid is your foundation?
*Common man with a unique position
*Walls were broken
*God called him and he wanted to go

The phrase that I immediately responded to was: Go and rebuild what is broken. 
(It's amazing how God meets us exactly where we are.)
Sunday afternoon, I woke up from a nap with the phrase Tear down what needs to be rebuilt.
I am praying to God to continue to tear down walls in my life that need to be rebuilt by him. I'm very excited to experience these changes he's making!

Last night, Isaiah 61:1 really spoke to the brokenness being mended in my life and how I am to GO and love the brokenhearted through the experiences God allowed me to go through. I am encouraged that he is calling me to be a voice in the church and in the arts to tackle the 'taboo' topics that everyone struggles with. 

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners.

Thank you for allowing me to share all of this with you. I am so grateful and humbled to have each of you to hold me accountable in my Christian walk.
Much love!
