Long before God started giving me love letters of promise, I used to write love letters to God. I had so many journals full of letters to Him. There were many intimate things in the letters, but the theme of most of them was the same….” I surrender all to you”…

Those were very powerful words. Within a year or two after writing my vows to Jesus and offering my life to Him as a living sacrifice of trust and obedience, so many unexpected things came. 

It was not what you would think, either. I wasn’t suddenly placed into leading a church or starting some kind of worship leadership. God took me through the illusions of my fears. 

He took me through my fears, so that He should show me His intentional love and so that His love could replace the fears that were hiding deep inside. 

I will never forget when God called me to face the biggest fear of my life. He told me to take the small amount of money that He sent and to book a few nights at a hotel. 

I was about to become homeless at the time, and I had nowhere to go and no one to turn to. I was in a state where I didn’t grow up, and I knew practically no one there. 

Shortly before God took me through this fear, He told me what city to go to…and that was it. The rest was a trust fall. Like an eagle getting ready to soar in the sky, I had to be willing to leave the ground of my comforts and my fears. 

There was something else that God did for me that was the key to it all. God started to write me love letters filled with personal promises of how things would go. 

Instead of me writing my vows to Jesus, Jesus wrote His vows to me. It was a very beautiful and intimate exchange of love–more than anything that I ever knew. I held those promises from Jesus when I reached the time to jump over this fear of being homeless. 

It was so scary. I spent day and night reading what Jesus promised, while I was sweating bullets of fear of all that could go wrong. If I didn’t have kids depending on me, it wouldn’t have been so bad. 

I could have handled living in the forest and scavenging for food from natural sources…but I could not bear the thought of my kids suffering. All my life was in the hands of Jesus. 

One of two things would happen. One would be that God failed to keep His promise and He didn’t show up. If that happened, then we would have died, became homeless, and suffered beyond all I could ever imagine. 

The other thing that could have happened was God kept His promise and rescued us just like He said. God promised to support us through my blog and to not let us get hurt or fall. 

He said that we would never be homeless–such as living on the street. He even went so far to promise that we would not have to live in someone else’s home, but that we would experience His lavish generosity and unfathomable wealth to live in lavish hotels and homes. 

So there I was, trembling with fear over what I had done, by jumping and trusting God to save us. Not only were there two things that could have happened, but there were two things that I could choose to focus on. 

One was I could focus on my fears and all that could go wrong. The other was I could focus on faith and trusting Jesus to honor His vows as my true love. 

The only way to fly by faith is to have faith. That meant that if I had focused on my fears, I would not have made it. I had to choose to trust and believe my love letters of promise from God. 

As I chose to cling to my love vows from Jesus, the miraculous happened. God showed up to rescue me and my kids. He kept us from being homeless and miraculously supplied our income in millions of unexpected ways. 

I experienced the vows of Jesus and this love rescue for over 6 years and the more I surrendered to trust Jesus and exposed myself to my greatest fears, the bigger God showed up with His love, blessings, and support. 

Over those years I grew a deep intimacy with Jesus, and He became the anchor of my soul. He became the only one in the world that I was willing to trust with my life–and most of all with my heart. 

I cannot imagine anyone else in that place. I gave Jesus my heart, and I am still giving it to Him. After going through all of those fears and seeing incredible miracles too wonderful to even express, I wrote a very detailed and documented book about it all, called Naked Wings. 

However, I had really big fears about anyone reading that book because of the past people in my life. I was fearful of things that I would never even say out loud. 

So I buried the book and I tried to hide it, instead of sharing the beauty of living on the fulfilled promises of God. But now Jesus is leading me to expose myself to those fears as well, so that I can see more of His love vows made tangible. 

The fears are a lie and when we open ourselves to those fears, then we can encounter God’s love showing up as a materialized outcome. 

Having a prophetic love letter of promise from God is like having wings to fly. I could have not survived any of that journey, if I did not have promises and vows from God to hold onto. 

Like an eagle, the negative things, like fears and terrifying outcomes, were the wind pressure beneath me that were used to lift me up. That can ONLY happen when we let go of our fears and choose to trust God to honor His vows. 

When we place our trust for Jesus to be ever-present, then those fears and doubts are placed beneath us, and they literally push us up to fly into miracle outcomes. 

It doesn’t work if we do not deliberately choose to place God’s promises above what we may fear or doubt. The negative energy of our fears become the very thing that pushes up to fly above the clouds. 

As an act of putting my fears underneath me and choosing to trust Jesus to honor His vows of love to me, I put my book back on Amazon and I surrendered my life back to Jesus all over again. 

Sure, there are fears of all those things that could happen by being exposed like this. Yet, I have promises from Jesus through personal love letters that He gave me of how it would be. 

In order to see those love letters from Jesus fulfilled, I have to take the risk to open my heart and allow His love to flow in and remove those illusions of fear. 

There is nothing more that you can give someone that you love, than to open and expose your heart–and believe and honor what they have vowed through the exchange of a love promise. 

Going through the fears is like going through the beauty preparations and putting on the sweet tangible perfume of love. I know that facing these fears will pay off–and they already have. 

Surrendering to love by exposing myself to fear helps me to become the purest version of myself. It will also be the richest gift I can give to God and my future husband as well.

God has made my life tangible proof that His love promises will not fail and that every fear is a lie. It’s time that I share that story with the world and open my heart to fly into all God promised that I could be. 

Darling, maybe…just maybe…we were destined to soar into so much more…🩷

Love you dearly,
