Encouragement Comes in Many Forms


I've been needing encouragement with my terrifying destiny-pursuing, so I asked God for it. He has poured blessing out on me in the craziest ways. One of which, came from a stranger.

I enter into Etsy Giveaways; it's my new thing. To register, the person hosting the giveaway asks you to list your favorite item from a shop or something along those lines. One of the giveaways that I found was a bit different. I was asked to write my dream. As usual, I start getting attacked when I'm about to talk about purity. The thoughts started racing through my mind: "People will think I'm a freak. Who comments about that on random blogs? What if something happens like the last time I spoke about purity in my blog?" However, a thought, clearer and stronger than all others came through and made all others fade into the background. I knew that I needed to write about it. So, I wrote something along the lines of "my passion is purity. I would love to work with a team called Moral Revolution based out of my community about purity and waiting." I hit send and didn't look back.

After having forgotten about the giveaway, I went to check my e-mail. There was an e-mail from a person. Not Facebook or some random website, but a person. That almost never happens. I opened it up to find a message from the woman who was hosting the giveaway. She told me about her shared passion for purity and how she would love to encourage me and whatnot. I was floored. Here I was selfishly wanted to hold back my passion when there's someone else out there who I've never met and doesn't live in the Redding/Jesus Culture/Bethel bubble that gets it. God is spontaneous and oh so good.
