Performance at PS120 Berlin
Waking up as a disorienting experience; the mo(u)rning routine as a way to repossess the self and grieve the losses in its wake.
...slippers, glass of water, partially unread prayer text from my mother, yoga, warm shower, vaseline, a gifted Nike™ sneaker filled with saliva and toothpaste, journaling, meditation, breakfast…
"Composure can be seen as the deferral, a kind of self holding that keeps open the possibility of finding an environment in which the composure itself could be relinquished [...] Composure seeks its negation." —Adam Phillips, On Kissing Tickling, and Being Bored

I Do Not Leave “‘I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that may not be shaken’” (Acts 2:25).
Daughter I pour my light into you. I guide you and do not leave you. I have good plans for your life. I love when you step toward Me to Realise them.
There is discouragement along the way— and distraction, too. But I keep walking ahead, and I reach out my hand, and I do not forsake you. I do not abandon you. The path is filled with rock that can cause you to stumble— and weeds that entangle and attempt to trip you up. But I clear the path, in the midst of difficulty and sometimes rocky roads. I clear the path.
My voice in you, these whispers to your heart, my words a blade of truth that swipes away uncertainty and doubt. Walk in the way I’ve prepared you, this way full of twists and turns and hills and valleys, deserts and lush mountain-scapes. I’ve walked this path. I walk it with you. How could I leave you?
You were made for this— to be with Me, walk ing this path, the path we walk together. Faith is not knowing the details of what the future holds, but trusting Me to be with you in it. So keep walking with Me, in faith, along the path I’ve prepared just for you, that is where you will cling to Me most tightly, where you will feel my gaze steadfast upon you, when I will hold you.
Daughter, I never let you go.

I pray for you this morning that:
The Creator of heaven and earth will help you achieve the impossible. You will not just survive in the land of the living, but you will be a rallying point for the greater good of your generation.
Exo 12:13; "And when I see the blood, I will pass over you" Calamity will pass over you, failure will pass over you, sickness, infirmities, bad luck, pain and every evil counsel from the pit of hell shall pass over you, because they shall surely see the blood of Jesus upon your head.
Your joy will not be once upon a time, victory songs will not cease from your mouth, each new day will bring you to the fullness of your destiny in Jesus name, Amen.

Beloved are you telling yourself you can’t accomplish your dreams, you don’t have connections, you’re too old, it’s too late, or you’ve made too many mistakes? Don’t let your own voice of doubt drown out the voice of God. What are you expecting this day? Your expectation sets the direction and tone for your life. Expect to see God move mightily on your behalf. God is the God of might and miracle. He is the God of power and patience, Grace and glory, hope and healing, life and liberty. God is your Lord and saviour, and He wants you to have a miracle today. Defeat is not an option. The victory is ours through Christ our Lord, and so shall it be for us in Jesus name, Amen. Good morning! Have a victorious Wednesday!! Shalom!!
