Just Show Up!


Sometimes God just simply needs us to show up!


2 Chronicles 20: 17. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.




It's a new year. It's a great time to change some things in your life. Maybe you already been showing up. That's great, keep doing it.

Maybe you need to more intentional about your time with God, your spouse or your children. If You are not married, don't have children then comment and let me know what you need help in. I will pray for you in that area.


The Lord tells Jehoshaphat you have no need to fight in this battle. Yet in the same verse tells them to set themselves, stand ye still. Fear not, tomorrow you will go out against them. The Lord will be with you. It can be a bit confusing when you're trying to obey the voice of God. Stand still. Move forward. Let go. Pray first. Pursue. Each time God gives us instructions it's based on where we are many times in the situation.


Even at this moment my heart is heavy. 2023 was one of those years where God said Bee Still but keep moving. In Oct of 2022 I got a word from God for 2023 ( my yearly word/thought). The year of WORDS. I was to write down what I desired God to do in my life. I was to only speak what I wanted see manifest. In my spirit I felt like YES alright. I began to write in my journal almost daily ( still do). I sowed decree seeds, declare seeds, word seeds. I sowed money seeds. Everything that I felt in my spirit I did it. I found scripture after scripture to stand on. Believe me I was going to show up. We seen a lot of sadness and disappointments. Seem like the last 6 months have been anything but what I was speaking.

I will not quit, I will not quit believing. I will keep showing up! Because I know God don't lie. The Word don't lie. It's almost funny what I heard God speak for my word this year. HOPE! Yes, hope. The year of Hope. You know what I'm going to do I'm going keep hoping. My prayers, my efforts have not been in vain. Everyday I set my self and simply show up.


I will write some more devotionals this year. I will write a stand alone book this year. I will blog ( once a week is my plan). Will I stick to that? I Hope I will. Even though 2023 didn't bring all I believed for I will not quit showing up. Because one day my ordinary days will soon lead to extraordinary days.


PS Even if I never sold a book I will keep writing, I will keep showing up!
