God is a designer. 

            We're His works of art.

Process- a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end.

That defiinition explains that a process is a journey, which means it takes time.

I was outside watching my mother cut the grass and noticed the weeds and grass around the fence were not being tended to so I went to the garage and got the grass scissors. I began cutting and thinking in my mind nobody uses the scissors for the whole yard I need a weed wacker. Plus it will be quicker and less work. Then another thought hit me like omg all these cars keep passing by and they probably like "look at that fool, what is she doing" lol yea my mind is a battlefield clearly.

God revealed to me that in our life He takes us through a "pruning" process. Pruning is a horticultural and silvicultural practice involving the SELECTIVE REMOVAL of parts of a plant, such as branches, buds, or roots.

I know you're like how does that correlate. Well seeds are planted in our life some positive and some negative. If we were to get the quick fix weed wacker then we kill the good seeds along with the bad seeds (which is helping the enemy with his destructive plan). And branches pertains to our group association sometimes removal from a group is needed it may be temporary or permanent. For instance, God will instruct you to move away from friends that like to drink if He is delivering you from drinking. Buds are defined as undeveloped or embryonic shoot. Everyone has dreams or passions that they have yet to paint out in life, that is a bud. So it is important to be selective in not cutting off God's plans and vision for your future before it grows. For instance, my dad has put together a skills and drills camp for the youth. Every dream starting out is challenging, right now he is facing discouragement for the number of kids showing up and finances. If he decides to quit he is cutting the bud off and everyone connected to that dream or vision dies (the enemy's destructive plan). Lastly, roots! Sometimes God must pull back layers upon layers of the problems we face just so we can see the true root of the problem. You be suppressed by all the masks that low self esteem wears to cover up the real reasoning behind it. Such roots can go all the way back to childhood and may seem so small but as time went on the deception of the enemy compiled all his lies to build up walls for the prision he put your mind in.

 Im writing you this message to encourage you to keep on moving in the process. Healing is a process. One cannot physically be healed unless healing (renewal) in the mind takes place. It may seem uncomfortable, it may feel like your doing it wrong, it may seem like a dragged out process. But you must trust God and know that it takes time, and believe that you're progessing forwardly. Believe it or not the weeds I cut around the fence looks much better than before I started.

I pray that you, the reader, will step out of your comfort zone and trust God. Trust His plan of good, and an expected end for you. Continue to remind us of your truth that you will "drive them (enemies) out little by little until we increase to take over the land" (Exodus 23:30). Help us to be more patient during this process of healing. And help us to remain focused on you. We want to be firm in you with no doubts in your faithfulness! We love you and we thank you for who you are, which is unchanging! We understand that we cannot do anything without. We give you permission to take us through this process. We bind every spirit that tries to whisper deception (mind-binding, insecurity, fear, doubt, reasoning, worry) we call them out and cast them back down to the pit of hell. Thank you Lord for answering our prayers and for the gift of revelation. In Jesus name. Amen.
