I was walking through a storm not like any other and as the days went on the winds and the waves grew stronger and overwhelmed me, my emotions were in disarray and I was losing my grip. I was gradually falling.  It was like a tsunami wave had struck me. Everything was coming against me and I was attacked from every angle…questions flooded my mind.. I cried out with a tearful heart and thought, Was there still hope for me? My passion was beginning to fade and I felt like a tree uprooted from the ground! I couldn’t seem to get back up to where I once was. Where are You God I cried? 

I went for a walk on a trail by the water and as I looked around all I could see was the destruction that the blizzard had caused in December. Everything was in ruins and it was like my life was portraying the same picture. 

A few days later in the early morning I felt a strong urge to go back…it was strange and I felt in my spirit there was a message for me but I had no understanding…

As I walked along suddenly in the distance I saw something red by a fallen tree and as I walked closer, I couldn’t believe what I saw…It was a red rose 🥀 

How was it possible I thought to find a fresh rose so early in the morning in amongst all the rubble? I picked it up and a petal fell off. I had no idea what it all meant but I knew I had to keep it. But that wasn’t all…I kept walking the trail and there was a rock in the shape of a heart. Then a few feet away was another rock that had the shape of a feather embedded in it. How was it possible? 

When I went home I knew in my heart the petal of the rose played a significant role but I had no idea what it was at the time. I didn’t want it to wither so I pressed it with my iron and cut it into the shape of a heart. 

About a week later I still wasn’t the same and I sat in silence before the Lord.

I was desperate to hear His whispers in my spirit. I played worship songs to welcome His presence then moments later I had a vision of petals floating down from the heavens and my heart overflowed and each petal was like a song ringing in my ear and in each stanza I could hear petals of prayer, petals of praise, petals of love, petals of grace, petals of hope, petals of joy, petals of peace, petals of kindness, petals of patience. Like musical notes floating from the heavens then the title was birthed in my heart…

🌺 Sweet Petals of Passion 🌹and suddenly His river came alive in me and with my heart overflowing with passion I created a new page…

The Lord reminded me  His love has drawn me close to His heart and He will never let me go astray. He will fight for me all the way everyday. Then He reminded me of the scripture Psalms 91:4 about the feather 🪶 

So I will follow His trail of petals and enjoy the beauty in each step I take for I know He has touched my heart and made Himself real to me once again and I give Him all glory, honour and praise for His great love and mercy to me.

A Sweet Petal of Wisdom 

🕊️🌸💕 I’ve learned that no matter how strong you are in your faith you can still be struck down by the enemy especially when he attacks from every side! BUT the good thing is God fights him off and will not let him destroy you. God allows things to happen to only make us stronger in our faith and He enables us to help others along the way…. so if you are going through a storm that is trying to take you down just remember God is with you and will fight for you and cause the storm to cease…🌸💕🕊️

If you are going through a similar situation and you feel like all manner of evil is coming against you I will pray for you because I believe God’s got you safe in His hands and He will make a way for you when there seems to be no way.
