Over the past several months we have been traveling to different places, and staying in beautiful hotels all around the outskirts of Chicago. When summer hit every place downtown booked out so we left the city and we went off onto the winding path into the suburbs. 

It has been a mixture of experience, at times very bitter and yet even more sweet than anything I have ever seen. We found some resistance with some of the Airbnb hosts, and we were often rejected because of not having a home and turned down. I’ve had to heal from the bitterness of it all, and the Lord’s been pouring out His love in ways like never before. I’ve had to forgive, and also learn to see this time from my identity in the place of promise fulfillment and without judgement. 

It’s like being at the end and another beginning. My heart has never ached more for a home to sink my roots into, and the Lord has been showing me glimpses of the beauty of the home that He is giving us to alleviate our pain. He keeps reminding me of my castle….the promise and reward at the end of this journey.Trusting His path for our journey is one of the hardest things to do. 

The past few months have been a roller coaster of tears and joy. The Lord has moved in ways more wonderful than I have ever seen. Truly, the testimonies are so extraordinary! I have also had to taste the sacrifice of grief from not having a normal life.

Some of the simple things that most everyone has and rarely even notice, like getting mail or having a closet of clothes or kitchen appliances are much harder for us. I have had to learn to be content for a decade without owning anything because of having no space, and yet the Lord has been pouring out rich blessings. With much given, much is required. 

Yet at the same time, I have encountered the unfathomable joys of living on the unseen promises of God and seeing miracles that many people cannot even dare to imagine. I have seen invisible promises emerge suddenly, time and time again to restore my wind-beaten sails. The stories I have to share will leave you speechless. The rewards of faith have been far more impressive than the pain of being an outcast on the earth. 

It was and is still a very busy time, with plenty of moving, exploring, and learning. There have been many miracles that I have been stacking up, and preparing to share with you. It has been like getting ‘miracle growth’ in my prayers, and the atmosphere has been saturated in absolute gratitude. 

It has also been a time of heartache, simply because I am tired of the lifestyle of traveling. It’s been ten years and that seems long enough in my eyes. The Lord has been meeting my pain with vivid promises of our ‘castle’ home that we will be entering as a reward from the faith testing and planting of seeds. There was a reason for everything, and it will be worth the steps of obedience, I believe. 

I feel like I have a whole book to share with you at this point, from all the testimonies that God has done during the summer, and all that I have been learning through this hand-on experience. 

There has been so much blossoming, like flowers one by one. It has been weary and wonderful. I can feel myself reaching the end of an old journey and the start of something new. The stories in the making have been truly indescribable…

I have so much to share with you of all the miracles and blooming promises that have taken place. That post is coming soon, but for today I am sharing a little blog update about the Love Letters. Due to some warfare and changes on social media, I have had to reorganize and align with the new set up that God has planned for this ministry. 

I had a problem a while back with Facebook suspending my Diamonds page with false allegations of using Ai, which I do not use EVER. After I proved that I was innocent, the Diamonds from the Dust Facebook page was restored and it truly started to flourish more than before. 

However, a few days ago, I found out that Facebook was once again labeling the love letter posts as Ai, and that was the final straw…it was time to move. I will not allow that false accusation to be labeled onto God’s words. So I deleted the Diamonds from the Dust Facebook page, because I am not allowing the Lord’s words to be dishonored with lies.

I have been following the Lord’s instructions on how to handle this growing problem and it has not just affected me. Several poetry pages and creative pages have suffered the same thing. Facebook Ai claiming that real writing is Ai. 

It’s sad to see, but I know from all of these years, that after every attack is an upgrade and more blessings. Not only did the Love Letters of promise from God suffer on Facebook, but I had a similar attack with YouTube and for 3 months my YouTube was suspended. 

My YouTube page was finally restored from the false accusation, and I am expecting something very new to start growing on there…a treasure trove of something that God has been saving for such a time as this.

At the moment the only place where the Love Letters are being shared is via Email, on the Website, and on Bluesky. But the good news is that I am soon going to be sharing ‘samples’ of the Love Letters on my personal Instagram too. 🙂 

This is a rearranging to prepare for the new that is emerging and a foundation being placed to build something beautiful upon. I trust that no loss or attack can dare to compare to the new that is blooming now.

A new love letter is being posted soon! Next stop….promises! 

Love,
