Many Waters Cannot Destroy Love

Back in May, God had shown me that there was a massive attack coming against me and the plan of the enemy was that I would not survive. I was shown this raging sea with waves so huge that they could destroy anything.

However, there was a huge wall that protected those waves from touching me and God told me that I was in His “safe house” of protection from the raging storm. He then God me a promise that we would not be hungry or go without a home.

He said that it was like the beginning, when we first started this journey of travel with God…however, He said it was much worse because we were at the end. Thank God, this journey will finally end and I can start a brand-new life.

There was a book that I read where it looked like this girl would die. A flood was coming to their desert home, and she had no way to escape the terrors ahead. She could see no possible way that she could get through, and it seemed like she would die.

But then, someone spoke to her and said, “many waters cannot quench love”. It spoke of God’s love for her and that God would not allow her to die. According to the plans of darkness, I am supposed to die.

Yet, thankfully, God has made plans for my life and His love will save me from every curse and every attack. Because, mightier than the waves of the sea, is God’s love for me.

For those who know our story, we began following God with a major, life altering trust fall about 7 years ago. I was on the verge of being homeless with no way to save myself. God showed up and revealed Himself as our Hero, and He gave me a promise to be our lifeline of support as we followed Him where ever He led us to go.

There is more about that part here: https://diamondsfromthedust.com/our-story/ plus I have written a very detailed book to share every step along the way.

Our journey has been full of more miracles than I could even write about, but it was also filled with facing the worst fears of my life, being baptized in my own tears and meeting Jesus in the midst of it all.

It is ugly and beautiful. It is bitter and sweet. Not only that, but it is exactly what makes a true fairy tale story good, and someday the whole thing will be an unforgettable story of true romance with God.

It has been overwhelming lately because the “waves” of resistance against our promise from God have been really tough to endure. It looks like there is no way to eat or to have refuge, yet God has given us His word that He will hold us above the flood that wants to take our lives.

However, God has never failed us…not even once did He let us fall to the ground, go without food, or sleep one night without the comforts of a home. But it came with the cost of following God’s ways and not my own. I had to draw the finances that we needed from out of His promise by faith, and I had to expose myself by sharing all the details with those who He called to read the pages.

The fact that we are finally at the end of this journey is a relief all by itself. That means that we are being lifted above every single moment of struggle and the resistance of our promises from God. That means that I will be able to give back to all those who have been so generous with me over the years.

At the end of the journey is where the castle and happily ever after are found, and true love story that I am so eager to know. However, I am walking through a very aggressive storm that is trying to keep us out of all God has promised was ours.

Last night I went through old archives on the Diamond’s Facebook page, looking for a letter that He penned through me, but I have not been able to find. As I was looking at how long this has been going on, I felt disheartened and fearful. I thought to myself, “even I am getting sick of reading this lol, imagine how the readers must feel” LOL.

I began to see things from the reader’s point of view, and it made me feel discouraged because God has taken us through this for so long. It was hard on my faith to trust God to not give us over to death. I have to believe that God has a plan to take care of us and that He will never fail to fulfill His words.


I have had to press myself to believe His promise to support us, even more than I ever have. It also made me so thankful to those of you who have not walked away from us and who sow seeds of love into this journey.

The storm was very aggressive even before we left Michigan for the unfamiliar place where we are now. I have had to face so many close calls, where we almost didn’t have food or a home. During those times, I tell myself over and over, …” mightier than the waves of the sea is God’s love for me”

It has often felt like I had been drowning and bashed by waves. It was a relief every time God saved us, but it is so exhausting to go through. There was one night when I had all I could take. I expected this to be over by now, and I expected that it would have been easier.

I cried myself to sleep and when I was sleeping, God touched my shoulder to wake up. He led me to read the book of Exodus in the Bible, and He showed me that “He pulled me out of the waters” like Moses.

He said this the time was a massive build up, like when Moses had to face Pharaoh to let God’s people go. During that time, there were a series of plagues and Pharaoh refused to let God’s people go to where God was taking them to.

Until the time came when Passover came and God’s people waited for their release to go, with their shoes on and their bags fully packed. They celebrated as they waited because they knew that they were moving into the land with overflowing milk and honey.

My safe house, was like their safe house, where the blood of the lamb protected God’s people from the curses that came over the land. My curses were the negativity and slander from those who have tried to turn others away from following this blog. Thankfully God will turn it all around and I have to rest in that.

So I have been ready to leave and ready for God to show up like He promised to show His glorious power for us to go where He is taking us next. It is a high and wonderful place where the abundance never ends and where this story is finally finished—and a new story begins.

I woke up with snow on the ground this morning, and no way to cover what is next and nothing left in the account. It looks overwhelming that Christmas is right around the corner and I don’t even know how God has planned for us to have housing or eat…let alone get into the festivity of the Holidays.

Yet no matter how overwhelming it feels, I am putting my trust in God’s promise. Surely He has the power to honor His words. We are celebrating our exodus during this time, as we prepare to encounter the glory of God that raises up higher than a dream.

God said that He will deliver double the comfort to make up for the pain of what I had to endure. I am so thankful that this is finally ending, and I can move into something entirely new.

God keeps showing me that it will be “everything, everywhere, and all at once” as the promises are suddenly fulfilled and blessings attach to us from every angle. It is a relief to finally turn the page and change the narrative that I have had no choice but to walk through.

Being in God’s will is not always the easiest thing to do, but He has promised that the rewards will be better than gold. I am looking forward to writing an update soon from the clouds, as I share how God showed up like He vowed, to lift us up to heights far too wonderful to put into words.

That is just a small taste of the intensity of things going on. I am so thankful that this story is almost over and that I can start something new with God….as new love blooms and the keys to our home are finally revealed.

No amount of warfare can drown out God’s love and His promise to save. No amount of hatred and curses from my enemies can take me out of God’s safe house. That is not just for me, but there are many who are in a raging storm like this too.

Beloved, know that God has a plan to lift you out of the floodwaters and that He will be your safe refuge from the storm. Nothing can hurt you, and no attack against you can prosper. Many waters cannot separate you from His promise. Many waters cannot destroy love. His personal love and care for you is mightier than the tumultuous waves of the sea. Love will save the day and nothing will ever be the same. ♡

I love you,

Dannette
