The Holy Spirit likes to serenade me from time to time.

This morning, right after I finished my Bible reading, I heard Fred Hammond softly in my spirit:

“All things are working for me…even things that I can’t see.”

And just like that…I paused.

Because if I’m honest, everything hasn’t looked like it’s “working.”

I started my FAITHIVITY Challenge on November 13, 2025.

The plan?

Celebrate my 50th birthday in a BIG way — Elle-Centric.

Out of the country. New scenery. A whole moment.

(And yes…I had a few private goals between me and GOD too.)

But somewhere along the way…GOD interrupted my plans.

Through studying His Word,  I began to understand what we should and should not prioritize as His Children. And in obedience–I paused the celebration.

No trip

No big escape

Just …surrender.

And WHEW–that wasn’t easy.

---

But here’s the thing…

Even in my hesitation…

Even in my delay…

Even when I was slow to fully obey…

God still started moving.

Things began to blossom.

Doors began to shift.

Perspective began to change.

Not because I got it all right…

But because his grace covered me anyway

---

Today’s reading took me to Deuteronomy 28.

And I had to read it twice.

Because it reminded me.

If I stay aligned…

If I hearken…

If I trust…

GOD WILL…

• Open up His good treasure
• Bless the work of my hands
• Make me the head and not the tail

And just when I thought that was enough, I heard Isaiah 55 echo back to me:

His way are higher.

His thoughts are higher.

And HIS word will not return void.

---

So maybe…just maybe…

The shift wasn’t a loss.

It was alignment.

The delay wasn’t denial.

It was direction.

And the pause?

It was preparation.

---

“All things are working for me…

Even things I can’t see…”

So I’ll rest

And I’ll believe

---

I am 17 days away from HIS big reveal.

And this time…I’m just excited about what I’ll receive.

I’m excited about who will be blessed 

Because I chose to obey.

My TESTimony is loading.

What has GOD asked you to pause…that you’re still trying to push forward?

Comment “I trust GOD’S Plan” if this spoke to you.

Be Blessed,
