I had the most awesome moment with the Lord today. Me and my mother and sister (who are living with me at the moment) were driving in the country side, just enjoying a wonderful day that the Lord had given me. We have a lot of snow right now.
I was reminded of a lot of times where God has changed the weather after I pray for it (will share in the future), and I was thinking about and praying for increased faith, because recently with my depressions, I've been kind of stale in my prayers, feeling like God wouldn't do anything big like that until I completely get my act together. I was wrong.
Suddenly, it started snowing heavily, and it got really windy. We were then driving along this forest road, and my mom had to go pee in the forest. A really strong wind came, I felt like it nearly shook the car, it was loud, and I got worried about her, and prayed to God to calm the storm. I heard the Lord telling me to command the wind to be still. I really hesitated first, but then I just said to it "Be still, in the name of Jesus!" and it disappeared immediately.
I was really surprised.
I felt urged to do this one time before, but I didn't have the courage to do it then. I didn't want to look stupid in case it didn't work... afraid that God would be disappointed that I had tried, doubtful whether this was His will or not. But He has been working to fix my fears for a long time now.
So, yeah, that happened! It was really awesome, and then He spent the rest of the drive reminding me of who I am in Christ. I have been struggling so much lately with feeling close to Him again, like I used to be before all the evil happened last year. Suddenly, I heard really loudly "I love you, Em!"
It just melted my heart.
I went to bed last night after having a vision. It was an hourglass that was filled with sand. It turned upside down and the sand ran down. Then the hourglass filled up with water.
It means that my time of testing in the wilderness is over, and the Lord will now fill my time with Him and the Holy Spirit.
Praise Jesus! I'm feeling happy and overwhelmed. And loved. And like my life matters again.
