The last thing I wanted was to be at a “single life” workshop at the beginning of 2024 when I felt the Lord had promised me a relationship by the holidays of 2023. So, I refused to sign up each time my LAM alum friends suggested it. But God kept bringing it up even when my friends relented. I then signed up out of obedience. I did not want to come. I didn’t think I needed it. I believed the prophecies, the words, the prayers and had so much faith that God would fulfill his promise this year (2023) I was apathetic about planning my trip to Redding. And then December 31st came and went and something in my spirit shifted. Disappointment and grief came flooding in and I knew it was God’s timing and kindness that had me driving to Redding just two days later for SLW.
I am not the same woman who walked in on night one. I thought I had done a lot of inner healing and deliverance work but the amount of breakthrough and joy that has happened in 3.5 days is impossible to explain or describe. I am more in love with Jesus, more on fire, and more hopeful than I have ever been in my life. I am equipped not just for marriage and healthy relationships, but for life as a daughter of the king and warrior for the kingdom.
