The kind that could derail my biggest hopes and dreams. At the beginning of it, I had a word spoken over me. Now, when words are spoken over me (which isn&#8217;t often), I always kinda put it on a shelf and ask God what he wants to do with it. It wasn&#8217;t too long until I was pretty sure it was for my current season. It was a &#8220;heads up! Trouble ahead! But don&#8217;t worry&#8221; kinda thing. At about this same time, a lady in our church called the office simply to say that God told her she needed to tell me that she sees me as a &#8220;fragrant flower&#8221; to all around me- I immediately wrote that encouragement down somehow knowing I was gonna need it. Life marched on- I mourned a mistake I made and then I got blindsided by some drama that others were pulling me into- the enemy has been so cunning to use the similarities between that unfair drama and my mistake to create a world of chaos for me. So much so that my own husband said, &#8220;either I don&#8217;t know you after 20 yrs of marriage and you have a glaring character flaw or something fishy&#8217;s going on.&#8221; In the last several days, another word was spoken over me. The word was to &#8220;just do what He is asking of me and don&#8217;t be afraid!&#8221; Amazing! Then, to wrap it all up and why I decided to share with you today, the following happens&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I was turning my page in my notebook during the sermon today to take notes, I find this anonymous note. Except, you see, it&#8217;s not so anonymous, because I would know God&#8217;s handwriting anywhere <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude09\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t57\/1\/16\/1f609.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\">. The word &#8220;enough&#8221; is no accident. When this whole horror started, I spent the night crying my eyes out before speaking at a conference in Boise where the theme was ENOUGH. Now, it was my turn to hear and accept the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God is good, gracious, and kind. He warned me, prepped me, reminded, encouraged me. As with any hard thing in my life, I wouldn&#8217;t wish any of it on my worst enemy except that I&#8217;m grateful for what I learned through it. I feel so seen and valued and let me just say, it is my great honor to ever be allowed as a fragrant flower in any of your lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/asmymindunwinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Enough.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asmymindunwinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Enough.jpg 526w, https:\/\/asmymindunwinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Enough-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/asmymindunwinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Enough-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the last 4 to 5 months, I&#8217;ve been going through a huge personal battle.
