The Remaining 13 Days

Today, I woke up with an urgency to talk with my Father. I was a little dry this weekend, like desert dry. Saturday I struggled to want to open my Bible at all (I didn’t) and Sunday, I was in the Word, but fought a funky mood all day (hello, because I wasn’t in the Word!).

Ever have those valley days? Okay, me too. So know you’re not alone, but know I love you too much to leave you there without any encouragement to keep those days at bay.


To combat the funk, I took to the Bible, but where to start? I’ve been reading the Bible chronologically in a year this year, and just began Nehemiah, but as I listened, it was going in one ear and out the other. I needed to soak in the Word today though, not just splash some living water on my face.

I happened to open the dreaded Instagram, but to my great encouragement, I scrolled upon this post by Hosanna Revival. I don’t feel like I’m feeling uncomfortable about change, but I have felt just…blah…

I don’t usually do this, but today, the kids were particularly calm and playing together, so I took my time to journal out these questions. As I dialogued with myself and wrote out my thoughts, this specific issue popped up- feeling unseen, or that my potential is just leaking out of my ears, being wasted or hidden under my eye-bags and mommy duties.

So, I took to the Truth again, and that’s when I came across this wonderful article that has ignited a fire in my soul.


We all need to ask God repeatedly and frequently, "What did You create me to do and be? What have You planned and purposed for me?"


“ For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” -Psalms 139:13-16


This is what the article begins by sharing:

“If you truly want to pursue and reach your full potential, then you must face up to these two truths:

Truth #1: God has placed more within you than you realize.

Truth #2: You likely have settled for the life you have now.”

Just these two truths got my thoughts swirling and my heart yearning. I highly, highly recommend reading it, and journaling the Hosanna Revival prompts. While I don’t have clarity beyond knowing whatever “assignment” I take on, is ultimately meant to glorify God. That is the ultimate purpose of my days- to partner with the Father to bring His name glory! Amen! How God will allow me to continue with that, I’m unsure. These prompts have encouraged me to spend the remaining days of March seeking and asking, nonetheless.
