In His Likeness w/ AntTBri

I’d like to pause before destiny and purpose collides with fruition and manifestation takes place, to say a heart-felt thank you and good-bye to what we’ve known as it’s been, many accolades for all you’ve been to me during this time of transition.

Thank you for listening to hear exactly where I was, for sharing your space, allowing me to exhale, for feeding, sheltering, and welcoming me into your life…for all the sacrifices you’ve made on my accord.  I can never articulate how much you’ve impacted my life… your smiles, hugs, kisses, gestures, laughter, prayers and willingness to challenge me to continue to walk in what I know to be true. Your insistence pushed me to continue to pursue God’s purpose and plan for my life.  Thank you for the many discussions that included confrontation of my statements, schematics, and standards. Please know that kept me going when I wanted to curl up and die, when hope escaped me and pain exasperated my courage.

I looked up grabbed for some thing or someone… needing stability, God used you to anchor insecurities, calm fears, and remind me God’s yet with me and will remain faithful that promised. You’ve been a wonderful blessing; you’ve refreshed and helped me in more ways than I’ll ever be able to articulate.  You’ve been good no great, I’ve benefited immensely from your expression of love; thanks for caring about what’s important to me:  all the things you thought were small registered gigantically Huge to me. Little things mean the world to me, they’re more person specific, I know they were addressed, done, and given  just for me. My heart is so full… thank you so very much!!!

It’s been the worst but best of times and because you allowed God to love me through you I haven’t missed a beat. You and God make an awesome team…  embrace that, rejoice and rest in the fact that God used you to save a life. You have assisted in His purpose transpiring…  I needed some ones, thank you for taking me in, for loving me but most of all for being my family and friend.  Thank you for the many things you did and gave to make it all better…trying to ease or cushion life’s blows.  In your care I was able to catch my breath, regain my strength, and learn to trust life and love again.  You’ve been the best, the greatest, gracious, exceptional, helpful, loving, caring, and hospitable to my weary soul.

So many times people speak or seed into our lives (in one season) and we fail to take the time to acknowledge, affirm, or articulate: You Matter, You’ve made and make a Difference (in this season)!  I love and thank God for you(despite the season)… degrees of expression change but the fact that you are stays the same.  God’s deposited awesomeness in you… I see it, have benefited from it:  You touched my life; you’ll never be forgotten or discounted in my heart.

Time and destiny’s call will place some distance between us, before it does I wanted you to know of your special-ness that there’s a well of appreciation, an overflow of Thank You’s in the reservoir of my heart!  I’m better because of our interaction, you’ve taught me lessons, imparted wisdom and assisted in my becoming the Woman God’s ordained and predestined before time begun.  I’m stronger more determined, purposed driven, accepting of God’s giftings.  His promises are unfolding before me.  Destiny hasn’t expired and Purpose still prevails…moving forward…preparing for what’s to come. GOD keeps His WORD…HE is faithful that promised…renewed expectation in and of Him…what shall be already is. ~AntTBri
