The BLB for today recites Proverbs 3:6– “In
ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall
direct your paths.” I know that one in Hebrew, both
verse 5 and 6. This has been a HUGE “life verse”
for me on this Journey.
It’s evident in my life, that when I have allowed the
Lord God to DIRECT my path, THE PATH He
wants me on and to STAY ON, that is exactly what
he has been doing! Anything that He originally
didn’t want to happen, has “faded” out sooner or
later. Any PERSON He didn’t want in my life any
longer, any JOB He didn’t approve of me having,
any PLACE He didn’t want me to LIVE, it got “shut
down” one way or another—it’s truly amazing how
much has transpired in my life, just in the past four
or five MONTHS, let alone these almost three
years since I’ve started this Journey.
God doesn’t lead us down wrong paths; WE have
done that to ourselves! HE didn’t set us up with the
wrong person in our lives that some of us eventually
married—that was OUR doing!
Oh, there are some that would say we HAVE to fail
at some things, in order to learn how to handle
other (and possibly much harder) things in this life;
I agree, but there are HUGE “ticket items” like the
MAN or WOMAN that God pre-destined and
ordained for us—yes, that “special one” that HE
picked out, that perfect “piece” of the puzzle that’s
been missing all of our lives.
I tried to jam in those puzzle pieces that “looked”
like that right missing piece, but I FAILED
miserably, and lost 30+ years of my life either
married to or living with the wrong person.
Hard lessons have been learned, and since the time
I SURRENDERED over my ENTIRE life, including
the RELATIONSHIP part to the Lord Jesus, He
has offered me what He called a “final opportunity”
in “getting it done right”, BUT the catch was, it
HAD to be done HIS way and in HIS timing, no
matter how LONG it was going to take (and of
course,I got no “hints” on that), and how
HARD it was going to be. He told me right from the
beginning of my new Journey, that I would be
entering a “Season of WAITING”, and that it was up
to ME to agree (or not), to wait an INDEFINITE
amount of time, until He worked on MY life. 
The Holy Spirit said, “The man of MY own
choosing” (His exact words!) was also going to
have to not only be “worked” on, but that “he” also
had quite a bit of “LIFE lessons” to go through as
well, so it was going to be a while. He said though,
He needed to start with ME, and although I had no
issues about that back then, the reason why He
said it that way, I just understood just a few weeks
ago. It’s all about God’s Word being LITERALLY
worked out and proven in my life. 
There is a verse in the Bible that says,
“Judgment must begin at the house of God…”
You’ll find that in 1 Peter 4:17. The reason I’m
sharing this verse, is because the Lord wanted to
start with ME—that’s exactly what the Spirit said
to me. He was putting His Word into “action” by
starting to get me off those “crooked roads” (see
Isaiah 45:2-4), and on that straight, RIGHT PATH
He destined for me long ago. Luke 3:4-6 mentions
it as well, by the Prophet John the Baptist. He
mentions Isaiah 40:1-4, and how the CROOKED
ways will become STRAIGHT, and the rough roads
smooth. 
That is exactly what happened to me, as
soon as I gave everything over to the Lord back in
December 2016. Even though I agreed to Him
“taking over” those troubled areas in my life,
especially my relationships, it wasn’t until the
Journey “officially” started almost two months later
when I “sensed” a greater PEACE like I never had
before.
We as humans LOVE to be “in control” of whatever
we can, especially our lives, once we are “adults”. I
wasn’t good at “adulting” back then, and even
though I considered myself a true believer of Jesus
Christ and His Word, I STILL managed to mess up
horribly. Thankfully, He knew just “when” to STOP
all the madness, hear my cries for help, and show
me in the “natural” AND the “supernatural” (YES,
the SPIRITUAL REALM does exist!!), what needed
to be “tweaked” in my life, in order to get me on
that PATH He intended for me.
I didn’t have to feel like I was just “wandering
around” without knowing what I should be doing
anymore. I had gifts, talents, skills and abilities that
He wanted me to USE for Him and His glory, but
also, so that I could get enjoyment and a sense of
VISION and DIRECTION in my life, heading me
finally, on that right path that is NOW leading me to
a GOAL. I’m living it out daily, as I WALK in the
DARK with Him, holding tightly to His Hand as He
leads me down toward my dreams, goals, and
desires, that He wanted me to have all along. It just
had to be done the RIGHT way, and not so I get all
the accolades for it, but that the Lord God gets the
GLORY due His Name in the end.
So my life has definitely “straightened out” since
December of 2016. I don’t have all my desires yet
—the “man” I’m waiting for, that the Lord HAS
promised and destined to me, is “still in the works”.
I’ve yet to finish my first book draft, but then again,
if you told me over two years ago, that I would
actually be writing a book, I would have thought
you lost your mind—why would God choose ME to
do such a thing? After all the mistakes I’ve made in
my relationships?? Wouldn’t He be better off
choosing someone who “did it right” the first time,
and NOT have TWO divorces behind them??
Nevertheless, this is what HE chose for me to do,
even though He originally didn’t want me to go
through all that failure and heartache.
Here’s a powerful Psalm that’s worth memorizing—it’s from Psalm 40:1-5, CSB
version (caps are my emphasis):
“I waited patiently for the Lord, and He turned to
me and heard my CRY for HELP. He brought me up
from a desolate pit, out of the muddy clay, and set
my feet upon a ROCK (Jesus!), making my STEPS
secure. He put a NEW SONG in my mouth, a HYMN
of praise to our God. Many will SEE and FEAR,
and they will TRUST in the LORD. How happy is
anyone who has put HIS TRUST IN THE LORD
and has not turned to the proud or to those who
run after LIES!
Lord my God, You have done many things—your
wonderous works and your plans for us; NONE can
compare with YOU. If I were to REPORT and
SPEAK of them (as I do!), they are MORE than
can be told.”
That entire Psalm is awesome. But it is amazing
how these first five verses really tell the story of
how I was, and now who I truly am in Him. I always
was His; but NOW, He has shown me that I CAN use
what He’s given me—the gift of writing, singing,
playing instruments, learning several different
languages, etc.—all for Him and His glory, and to
let others know just how GOOD, GRACIOUS,
LOVING and FORGIVING He is, even with a
Daughter like me, who “messed up”.
It’s never too late to get off those “crooked paths”
and have Him LEAD you onto that “RIGHT
PATH”—it’s waiting for you right now!! Even though
that “man” whom HE chose for my life, isn’t quite in
it YET, I know without a doubt one day, he WILL be.
One of the best things about following the Lord
God—He KEEPS HIS PROMISES. Even though
we’re known to break ours, He NEVER leaves us or
forsakes us (Deuteronomy 31:6), and He NEVER
gives up on us! He lets us know that as long as WE
don’t give up, we WILL “reap a harvest” (see 1
Corinthians 9:24), and that there IS a HOPE and a
FUTURE (see Jeremiah 29:11) for ALL those who
SEEK Him and ask for His help. 
It’s there to grab onto, so DO IT, don’t just say you’re going to, and
don’t let FEAR stop you!!! For 2 Timothy 1:7 says,
“For God has not given us a spirit of FEAR (that’s
from the evil one!!!), BUT of POWER and of LOVE
and of a SOUND MIND.” We CAN have these
things—TRUE LOVE, primarily in the Lord Jesus
Christ; but He also directs those like me to the
“one” He chose for me; A Spirit of POWER—that
is the HOLY SPIRIT that will LIVE inside of EVERY
Believer of Christ—you will have the LIVING GOD
dwelling in you, and you can speak to Him each and
every day asking Him to LEAD and GUIDE you in
all that you need and want to do in this LIFE. And
WHO out there DOESN’T want a SOUND MIND??
To have PEACE, that “peace that passes ALL
understanding”, that GUARDS my HEART and
MIND—IN Christ Jesus (see Philippians 4:7)—who
wouldn’t want more of a peaceful life, going in the
RIGHT DIRECTION, and not wasting valuable time,
money, love, etc.?? I DO! That’s why I turned it all
over to Him, and I haven’t regretted it since. My
relationship has only gotten closer to the Lord, and
better with others as well.
The spiritual realm is beyond any human
comprehension, and there aren’t words (like the
Apostle John was saying in the book of Revelation)
good enough to describe what it really means to
WALK in the SPIRIT, and no longer in the flesh(see
Galatians 5:16). You just have to decide for
yourself, to finally acknowledge Him as Lord and
Savior of your LIFE. Once you DO, He WILL
“direct your path”, lead you into all TRUTH (see
John 16:13), and show you things you NEVER
thought possible before (see Jeremiah 33:3; Psalm
25:14; Deuteronomy 29:29; Daniel 2:22)!! Here’s
Amos 3:7– “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing
unless He reveals His secret counsel to His
servants the prophets.” 
He WILL reveal things to you; you only have to BELIEVE, OBEY, and
TRUST in Him. Those ghost hunting shows have
nothing on the Lord God and the POWER He
possesses, and what He gives His people who
WHOLEHEARTEDLY serve Him. That’s a drop in
the bucket compared to the vast OCEANS of
supernatural power and ability the Lord God has,
and INDWELLS in each of His children to use for
the Plan and Purpose He has called and chosen
them for.
Go ahead—-I DARE you to WALK that walk of
FAITH!! Learn to “see” what cannot be seen by
human eyes, and “hear” what cannot be heard with
human ears! Take that STEP of FAITH today, and
give it ALL to GOD, and WATCH what He does with
your LIFE!! It will NEVER be the same AGAIN!! 
Be blessed.
Walking in the Dark with Faith
