The first lesson God taught me was about Identity. He revealed to me how my sense of self was rooted in past experiences, relationships, pain, traumas, fears, and failures. I was far from who He says I am. Uprooting was brutal. God tears us down only to rebuild us into who we truly are in Him. He pushes us out of comfort zones to show us that we can handle more than we think. He removes us from certain relationships and draws us closer to Himself so that we can become more like Him. This lesson was the hardest and longest to learn. Enjoy the episode!
The Wilderness season is a confusing time for any person. A season of being stuck, barren, in pain, and no signs of hope or life. In this first season of the Emerald Lifestyle Podcast, I share with you my lessons from the wilderness, so that you may receive Hope in God and His plan over you. Wilderness seasons have a purpose. God intends the wilderness to be a time to draw near to Him. To know Him, love Him, and choose Him over everything else.
“And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.”
Deuteronomy 8:2 NKJV
