Never Be Ashamed Of The Baby

One of the things that I do whenever God brings us to a new room in our journey is share the pictures and the testimony. For me, it is like a mother sharing pictures of her newborn baby.
Because before God asked me to follow Him on this journey of complete dependance on His vows of support, He made me promises. Those promises were conceived in my spiritual womb, and they grew into an emergance of love and life.
He promised that He would be our HOME, He promised that He would be our covering of support (through whatever outlet He chose to use), and that He would generously supply all of our food.
Recently, I had someone throw out a lot of jealousy and negativity for how God has kept us in a comfortable room, and I am not going to feel bad or appologize for being a mother of promise. God made that promise, and there is no shame in receiving from a promise.
Everytime that I share a new room that God takes us to, I am sharing a promise fulfilled over and over again. God promised that we would not be on the streets, or even at a shelter. He promised to hold us up above the gravity of troubles, in a refuge of comfort. He saved our life over and over again, like a baby being born of new life. His words became tangible.
And so it has been. For years, God has taken us under His wings, and given us shelter in hotels or Airbnb’s, with a promise of our own home at the end of this specific journey.
These rooms were not just given to me, but I had to go through growing the “baby” of promise by feeding my soul only good, nourishing things, like positive thoughts of hope and faith.
That person who basically vomited vile words online did not see how I labored through the contractions with deep agony, to not allow myself to give into the fears that were crying for me to engage into. The pain of dying to my fears in the face of a life or death situation was beyond anything I can describe. It is so painful to not allow a fearful, negative doubt, when your whole body is writhing in pain and crying out.
I had to work my faith to push through the pain of how impossible it looked, seemed, and felt, in order to trust and believe that the room support would show up at any minute. I had to lay my daughter into God’s hands and trust Him not to hurt her by making us homeless or go hungry. It was terrifying and painful to do.
Also, I had to clean my soul of all negativity, such as bitterness, jealousy, anger, or a victim mentality. I had to BELIEVE in my promised baby, before I could receive.
On the nights before check out with no place to go and no way to pay for anything, I had to shut off all the logical reasons we were doomed, and go deep into faith to imagine, feel, and embrace that my promise was fulfilled.
It was not easy….so not easy. It was as painful as giving birth to a baby, and I should know because I have done it four times lol. It took completely folding myself inside out, to only believe in the promise, and not look to the dangers of a life and death situation on the outside.
So I am not going to feel bad or appologize for sharing my fulfilled promise pictures, and I am not going to let someone esle’s bitter jealous soul ruin the precious moment’s seeing my promises being fulfilled like newborn babies.
God gave me the promise and it was a gift. Because I had so much doubt, fear, and unbelief, I had to go through extreme labor contractions to see the fulfillment. Because doubt, and fear can abort a baby, and so I had to do die to all my fears and worries in order to see this new life come out of the unseen and into the seen.
Instead of sitting on social media all day long, I spend hours every day meditating on my promises and spending time with God. He often will have me do something extreme in order to breakthrough the birthing time, like giving money to the point that it hurts, as I trust Him and lay down my life once again.
Every thought that we entertain is like an intimate bedroom engagement that can cause us to conceive out of those things, whether they are bad or good. We reap what we sow, just as we conceive whatever we feel and think about.
When God gives us a promise, it is up to each of us to open our hearts to ‘conceive’ the baby of promise and to feed it nourishing things to protect the precious cargo inside.
For some it is easy to just hear it and believe without a second doubt. But I have probaby been one of the weakest there are to trust, so God has taught me ways to open my heart and receive, in order to see the fulfillment.
That is why He had me share the process that I learned on two courses that I have made, that shares my experience. They are the Hope Repose Course, and the Dream Diamond Course.
The Hope Repose is all about seeing your hopes become tangible through prayer, and the Dream Diamond is all about drawing out treasures from dreams to be fulfilled, through faith, and learning what to ignore.
Since God took me in this journey first in 2016, I have shared more promise fulfillment photos of the places where God has brought us, like a mother sharing new birth photos, than I can even recall.
It’s been a miracle of seeing the birth of promises again and again, and it cost me everything. It cost me my life. I was no longer allowed to allow myself to have negative thoughts, I was no longer allowed to entertain fears and doubts.
I am not perfect, and I still have much more faith exercising to do and so many fears to face, but I am also really proud of all that God has done. He made me a mother of so many promises and the testimonies have been countless.
We are rounding out our last week that is paid for at our hotel in Chicago, and I am already in the process of “pushing” out a new baby of promise through concentrated faith.
There are times when God has me go deep into exercising my faith through the contractions of opposite looking circumstances, and there are times when He just has me rest through deep breathing, to trust in His ever-present love and support.
There are times when He asks me to give beyond what I can understand, and there are times when He asks me to just stay and wait and trust in His Divine timing. It is a dance, a push and pull, like a romance of give and take.
My message to you through this, is never feel bad or appologize when God fulfills a promise to you. God made you a promise and there is no shame or condemnation in that promise. That promise was a gift of love for you to enjoy and receive.
If God has you believing for something that seems illogical or that others critisize, just keep your eyes on the prize, that promise fufillment. Let God deal with those who need an attitude adjustment.
Because when you abide in love, of His promise, then He will fulfill all that you ask, and it brings Him glory for the world to see your captivating moments shared of promises fulfilled, like sharing photos of you with your newborn baby.
God has big, wonderful gifts for you to receive, and let no man stand in the way of embracing the joy and love of that promised baby. Never be ashamed of the baby, never appologize for being blessed, and for receiving by faith. Chances are that those who have been against you have promises too, but they have rejected them in one way or another.
That is your gift of joy from God, and He wants you to smile and shine for the camera, as you show the beauty of the moment of all He has done for you. Your testimony is powerful.
I love you, and I am celebrating in all that will be born into your life to bring the unseen promise to the outside.
Blessings upon blessings,
