Brandee 4.4 - Let the Newness and Peace Begin




I am so thankful to be alive to see my 44th birthday! Life, even though hard at times, is better now than I could have ever imagined. I cannot believe I had the audacity to try and kill myself a few times. Yet I am extremely thankful to be in a place mentally where suicide is nowhere in my thought process.

I am so thankful to be alive to see my 44th birthday! 4 is my all-time favorite number so the fact that I am 44 years old now means a heck of a lot to me. I did some research on the Biblical significance of these numbers and found out that the period between Jesus' crucifixion and his ascension was 44 days.

The number 4 derives its meaning from creation because on the fourth day of what is called 'creation week' God completed the material universe. On this day He brought into existence our sun, moon, and all the stars (Genesis 1:14 - 19) whose purpose was to give off light. 

It is so awesome that for 2019 God took me through the process of getting rid of all the grime and dirt that had absolutely NOTHING to do with me, in an effort to clean me up and allow me to really become the woman, the servant, the mother, the BEING that He intended for me to be.  I've never felt freer, more alive, more aware and more authentic. I look forward to this journey of self-discovery and am thankful that it has been confirmed within the meaning of the number 4. Here is what I mean:

On the 4th day God completed the material / physical universe. The spiritual realm was already in order, and then the physical had to be completed. On a personal level I can relate to this because I am strong and confident and whole in the Spirit. This was the first year ever where I navigated solely on faith. TRANSLATION: EVERY FRIGGIN DECISION quickly and suddenly worked for my good and to the glory of God. My faith muscles got the workout of a lifetime this year and now it’s time to move in confidence within this skin and this reality I find myself in. I have the freedom (and a tad bit of wisdom) to learn from the things and people and situations around me, whatever that may look like, whatever it may entail.

On the 4th day the light-bearing entities; sun, moon and stars were spoken into existence. It's no coincidence that for this 44th year I’ve been putting “aspiring beam of light” as my soul’s occupation. My expectation is for the Lord to make me lighter and brighter, so I can shine for His glory.
This is also the first year, at least since I was a wee tyke, where I am not focused on relationships or romantic love. My heart's desire is to get back to ministry and I'm allowing my Lord to have me all to Himself so that this aspiring beam of light can shine without blockage, interference, distractions or shadows.

I am so thankful to be alive to see my 44th birthday! I am both a work in progress and masterpiece doing her best to MASTER PEACE. For my 44th year this is what I decree:
