Wanted to share what I just heard in my spirit—
“When you take one step, God takes 10. You may not see anything happening but it is.”
Listen, I know I might sound crazy but soon after hearing this I went to watch an inspirational video. Well, before watching it I checked the date it was released. I do this from time to time to see if there’s a journal entry for that specific date. I like to see what I was doing or thinking at that moment. So, this particular video was dated almost two years ago, October 2022. Which was during the time my mom was in the hospital. Y’all, here’s what I wrote.
Okay… so a little backstory.
My mom had been in the hospital a little over two months. Around this time, we were waiting for her to be placed in a rehab facility. Every other day she was being told that she would probably leave the next day. The day before she actually left, they had prepared her to leave only to wait until the last minute to tell her she had to stay another night. I’m not sure if I wrote about her condition in previous posts, but she was suffering from early stages of dementia, plus she was in chronic pain, and she had lost almost all of her hearing. So she wasn’t in the best of moods and had become very aggressive. I had stayed with her night and day the entire time and I was so ready to leave. The next day (the day she actually left), I asked them not to tell her that she was leaving if they were not 100 percent sure. Well, they ignored my request and told her she would be transferred to the rehab facility (which was over an hour away) by noon. When I tell you she was watching that clock! Noon came and went. Two, three, four, and five o’clock came and went. Y’all, I can still remember how I felt that day. She was yelling and screaming at everyone, including me. I just wanted it all to be over. I prayed and made calls to everyone trying to get her moved. Around 8:00 PM that evening, the administrator of the receiving facility told me that they would accept her if she could make it there before midnight. The thing was, because she was bedridden and could not sit up, an ambulance had to transport her to the facility. I still remember her crying because 10:00 PM had come and she was still there. And I was crying right along with her. I felt so defeated. Around 11:00 PM I heard that still small voice say to dry my eyes and pack up my cellphone charger to leave. I felt too defeated to even second guess what I heard. I did as I was instructed. And as I wrote, not even five minutes later they were there to transport her to the rehab facility. They told me that they had been in touch with the rehab facility and were told they would admit her after midnight.
Anyhoo… I wrote all of this to say God confirmed my original message—
“When you take one step, God takes 10. You may not see anything happening but it is.”
Final word. Even though you don’t see anything happening, keep the faith; and when God instructs you to move, do it. Believe me, He has everything all planned out. He just needs you to trust Him and move.
Be blessed.♥️
