Funny the way things come full circle… crazy how God moves the chess pieces just so, in a very strategic, simultaneous fashion so as to act and react to every one of our moves… regardless of what choices we make. He is my King. He is all-knowing, all mighty, all LOVE.

Today was a day full of emails, phone calls, meetings, & more marketing plans. The more we talk (our leadership team), the more excited we get at what is about to happen. My life, my friends… no, OUR life, is a sheer miracle from our King… we are all simply just pawns that he maneuvers from birth to worldly death. In this game, however, it is considered winning if the King takes our pawn.

We finally got a call from the… let’s just call him our “dream facilitator.” He is the individual that is thinking of helping us with the printing of the magazine. Not only is it a good thing that he called today (because I was about to call him myself and beg for help), but it shows that he is interested in what he saw in our business presentation. (I would do a happy dance right now, but we don’t have a decision yet.) Let’s save the dancing for the “yes” phone call.

Also, turns out that through mutual friends and random conversations, the owners of “Jesus Life” apparel want to possibly help us launch our own merchandise! There is much more to that story, but make sure to check out their page: http://www.jesuslife.com. I was super impressed with their products and the material was very high quality! Super trendy too! LOVED it! Also, as God’s plan would have it, we have received a very generous donation from a complete stranger, all because they were inspired by the vision that they read on our myspace and this very blog! We can finally pay our bands! Woohoo! (just kidding, but seriously).

And… a family member that I haven’t seen in a while has appeared in my life once again like a guardian angel, sending me uplifting and empowering scriptures that speak DIRECTLY to my life and my walk, and has offered to help in so many ways! She along with soo many others that I didn’t even KNOW before this magazine started have literally taken pieces of my stress.. of my mission.. and added it to their own life’s tasks out of the kindness of their heart, and belief in this mission. Oh God is good…

There are so many things like this that have happened one after another this past year that it is undeniably God’s confirmation of this ministry and my path towards carrying it out. Now it is up to me to spend the next few days actually finishing up the first issue of the magazine, get it ready for print, and practice my leprechaun kick for when the actual day arrives that we receive the printed copies of our first issue, and the launch party is a ridiculous success.

I am the pawn… the daughter of a loyal, merciful, loving King. I am Him and He is Me. I am being made perfect from His presence in me… learning patience, learning wisdom, learning to love, learning to lead… and before I even realize it, He has made all of my dreams come true. All because I surrendered my own selfish worldly desires and asked Him to show me the way to true happiness, not the temporary, shallow, worldly stuff I was getting on my own.

P.S. A friend gave me James 1 to read today… I recommend you do too!
