In Between

listeningwithlaurette

Sorting through emotions, hating uncertainty, despising not knowing, praying for clarity to come, not quickly, but immediately, searching diligently for the next number so I can connect the dots, when I was reminded of a word the Lord spoke to me two years ago. Scrolling to find the word, I was amazed it was exactly at this season, the date is 2/18/23.

The Lord spoke to me, “you are in between.” Well. Here I am again. “In Between.” Well, this doesn’t look like what I imagined, again.

Valleys are where fruit buds and grows and where faith is nurtured and hope springs forth.

Valleys are connectors, the place between two destinations. We depart to arrive. Like connect the dots, you are here, looking for the next opportunity, step, number etc. desperately needing clarity because after all confusion is not of God. I’m not sure I’m where I should be…

But, I’m reminded without faith it is impossible to please God. So I trust and do not doubt. I remind myself He who began this good work will complete it.

I sense His strong touch. I am reminded I’m not a victim to circumstances, places, other’s deception or wrong beliefs. I’m on assignment.

I search for the purpose. This valley is stretching and strengthening me. I’m in route to my next destination.

So I bow my head and confess, I’m up for the battle, lead the way.

Happens “In Between”

Wonderful things happen
in between
Night turns into day
Fear vanishes and flees

Amazing sounds
In between
Laughter silences
The sobs, the screams

Wonderful sights
In between
Frustration gives way
To hopeful scenes

Amazing revelations
Had I only known
In between is where
Christ is shown

In between
Growing tenacity
Rooted and grounded
Christian audacity

God comforts and calls us back to Him.

Isaiah (42:9) (43:19 NKJV)

“Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.””
‭‭
Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.

I pray you feel the comfort of the Comforter “in between.”

God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you shalom.

Until next time, thanks for listening with me, laurette

  2. the inbetweens resonate with me. It’s an area of struggle, valleys that seem too long and I feel both older and more seasoned stepping into the sunlight at the other side. Take care Laurette.
