Go Forward

“And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.’” Exodus 14v15 (NKJV)

The Israelites stood frozen at the edge of the Red Sea. Behind them, Pharaoh’s army; in front of them, impossible waters. Panic was rising, fear was loud, and yet, God’s command was clear: Go forward. Not sideways, nor backward, nor stuck in place… forward.

Fear will have you waiting for a sign when God is already giving you a command. Fear will have you seeking the perfect plan when God is just asking you to take the next step. Some of the greatest breakthroughs in your life will only come after motion. The Red Sea didn’t split while they stood still, it split when they started walking.

If you are waiting to have it all figured out before you move, you will miss your miracle. If you are waiting to never make a mistake, you will never make progress. Movement is messy and growth can be risky, but God isn’t in the business of keeping you safe in fear, He is in the business of leading and walking with you through what looks impossible. Stop waiting for the whole road to be revealed. It is like driving at night, you may only see a few feet ahead, but if you keep moving, the path unfolds. Let go of perfection and let go of the need to see it all before you start. Forward is not flawless, forward is faithful.

God told His people through Isaiah, “Enlarge the place of your tent… stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left” (Isaiah 54:2–3 NKJV). That kind of expansion only happens when you stop crying and start walking.

So always remember… go forward. Even if your knees are shaking, even if the waters haven’t parted yet, even if the enemy is still behind you… Move! For God parts seas for those who walk in faith.

“Beginnings aren’t always graceful—but they’re necessary.”

Reflection / Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

You speak with such gentleness and truth.

You remind me that I don’t need to be perfect to begin—

I just need to begin.

Even if I stumble, even if I tremble,

even if my first steps are clumsy—

You are pleased that I stepped.

Thank You for being patient with my process,

for seeing beauty in my awkward beginnings,

and for walking with me from the very first moment.

Let me not delay because of fear,

but trust that with You,

every humble beginning leads to eternal purpose.

Amen.

Good Morning!☀️

The Lord said to Moses, "Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. Exodus14:15

There comes a time when talk and debate must end. We must take action if we are to get the victory. Work is a partner to prayer.  

In the book of James it states that faith without works is dead. It was not praying time but time for the people to go forward and trust God to part the waters as they went.  

Remember, you cannot steer a parked car, only one that is moving. Don't get lost in useless debates. Go do!

Book Summary: Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzero

You can’t be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Have you ever noticed how some Christians seem spiritually active—faithful in church, prayer, and ministry—but often struggle with anger, anxiety, or broken relationships? That’s the kind of disconnect that Peter Scazzero explores in his impactful book, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. This book offers a deep and necessary…

I’m scared I don’t like it I hate it all I can imagine the moment the poses the sounds but my hands can’t and they pull me down my throat hurts my stomach growls I’m starving aging at the face of “god” are you also afraid of the future because I am I wish I was in a closet locked tightly I wish I could rip out their lungs, ears, eyes and mouths and replace them with music I wish I could curl up in my beautiful blanket and scream but I can’t because I promised I wouldn’t do that anymore so now I sit despite my legs telling me to run, I can’t go outside, not back where they’ll watch me I’ll stay here where I can rot and nobody will care for me

I hope you can eat my rotted flesh and eyes, I hope it feeds you, I hope you do more than I ever could

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

They have red top surgery scars, and a hairy chest and stomach. Two pale silhouettes of hands reach around the figure, as if stroking their belly and thigh. The figures are surrounded by a border of leaves and red flowers, with a star in the center overhead. There is an 8 pointed star covering the figures groin. The piece is done in a minimal color palette of black, red, and warm beiges and yellows. /. End ID]

I cannot stop thinking about Episode 5 of TADC because Ragatha is, however unintentionally, one of the best examples of how isolating and difficult it is to interact with the world as an autistic person I have ever seen. To the point it genuinely makes me sad to think about her. I need to make a post expanding on this at some point but rn just. The way everyone assumes there’s some sinister hidden meaning to everything she does and says but she’s literally just trying to be nice and she doesn’t understand why it’s not working. The way she tries so hard to make connections but it constantly falls flat, she says things that hurt without realising how or why. She follows the rules she’s been taught will make her friends — she’s kind, she’s forgiving, she’s accepting and apologetic when she messes up, but for some reason it’s just not working. She tries to mimic other people, she tries to laugh at past experiences, tries to open up about her past like everyone else is doing, but now everyone’s uncomfortable and looking at her like she’s crazy and she doesn’t get it!! She doesn’t get it!!! Jax is a jerk and he’s mean to everyone but for some reason Pomni likes him and she doesn’t get it, she doesn’t understand! Pomni tells her it’s okay to be a jerk sometimes but Ragatha doesn’t like being mean, she wants to be nice to people, but she does it anyway, she gets mean like Jax and Zooble do but now Pomni’s looking at her like she’s done something wrong but she just did what she asked her to!! She doesn’t get it!! At the end of the episode everyone goes off into their groups and Ragatha is left alone, after having tried so hard to make friends and fit in and make people like her, she’s still alone, and everyone thinks she’s weird and unapproachable and she just has to give up and accept that she is inherently unloveable. Her evil alter ego tells her she’s going to die alone and nobody loves her and the only thing she corrects her on is the fact that they can’t die here. The few that might like her when she’s around don’t miss her when she’s gone, because there’s nothing to miss. Ragatha has spent her whole life systematically stripping away everything that makes her different and unlikeable in order to make herself more palatable to others, and in the process she has made herself a personalitiless blank slate with no unique identity for others to latch onto and appreciate. She has nothing to add to any conversation because she’s too afraid of being disliked to have a memorable personality beyond being generally polite and nice. And just. God. Someone get this girl some noise cancelling headphones and a therapist on speed dial, being this good of a representation of what it’s like to be autistic, especially to be an autistic person with trauma, is not good for the soul. That final shot just destroys me right in the heart. My poor girl.
