A Journey of Intentional Love
Many years ago, the Lord asked me to trust Him with the biggest risk of my life. He told me to follow Him and to trust Him to show up to provide. Then He gave me a promise of endless support, and He said that He would provide for all of our needs through His opulent riches.
💎 With a little blessing of money that God had given to me, I took all the money that I had in the world and reserved a hotel room for me and my children for 5 days. All I had to hold onto was my hope that He would show up and a promise that He gave me to support my little family.
After those 5 days, the provision of promise became like a never-ending basket of bread that would multiply just in time. Always enough and never too late, God would show up as the manifestation of comfort for all of our needs. God has continued to hold up our family through supernatural support. Although it was not like I expected and my faith was challenged to trust Him to a greater amount.
As my faith grew, so did the support. The refuge that He provided for us started out small and continued to get bigger and better. God has taken us from small hotel rooms, to really nice hotel rooms, and then to luxurious apartments and beautiful homes. Through this journey, I have grown closer to living as a believer…and not just saying that I am. For every fear that I faced, there was a double manifestation of comfort from His love.
💎 Every single love letter from this blog has been written through deep encounters with the Lord’s kindness and love in a time of desperation and trust. All of these letters have been formulated from His love, meeting me in a place of surrendering my worries and fears to Him.
Following each surrender, a love letter of His intentional love was given to comfort and calm my anxious thoughts. After each love letter, there have been countless encounters of seeing those words become tangible before our eyes. Many of these experiences I have written about in the “Faith Story” posts.
As you read these letters, I encourage you to expand your limits to trust and believe in something big with unwavering perseverance. From ashes to beauty and dust to diamonds–a dream transformation will take place! With faith and consistency, you will encounter the intentional love of God. Your personal dreams will be uncovered and made a reality.
GOD IS ABLE TO KEEP HIS PROMISES AND HAS ALL POWER TO DO IT

He lifts the poor up out of the dust,
the needy from the trash heap.
He raises them to sit with princes
and seats them on a glorious throne.
For the pillars of the earth are the Eternal One’s,
and on them, He has set the world.
