Unshakable Things.
MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️
A friend messaged me yesterday to share about her transition. Man…a ton of y’all are going through one as well. Anyway, I wrote back and one of the things I said stopped me.
I was talking about how I don’t even like to CHANGE up my order at my favorite restaurant anymore, much less my whole world…then I wrote “it’s shaking me up inside.”
That’s what stopped me in my tracks. There it was.
There’s a scripture in Hebrews that says that everything that CAN be shaken WILL be shaken. It goes on to say that only UNSHAKABLE THINGS will remain.
Worldly securities can be shaken. Material things can be shaken. Identities can be shaken. Routines can be shaken. Beliefs can be shaken. Temporal things can be shaken.
The shaking I’m feeling is tied to things that can shake. It’s not tied to things that cannot be shaken like God, faith, truth, eternal things.
And so, as I sat there and got my eyes off of the temporal and back on the eternal…I breathed a deep breath and released it and felt better. That sounds hyper spiritual, I know. I don’t mean for it to sound that way…but it helped. I looked around and realized that what we’ve created here, as beautiful as it is, is temporary. It’s material. It’s security, it’s my comfort zone. But it’s NOT an unshakable thing. When I put my focus back on the unshakable I was like “ohhhhhh okay…right…people, family, purpose, being willing to flow and go with no agenda and no clinging onto worldly things…that’s where I won’t shake.”
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this worldly thing called White Buck Farm 😂😂 but it ain’t going with me…it doesn’t define me…and it’s not my security.
Shaking or unshakable?
It totally depends on what we’re clinging to.

It’s amazing how you can hear yourself say things and it stops you like that. I recently said out loud to my late husband, “I wish you were here. Then I would feel protected.” 😳
I mean, there it is. I’m not believing that God is protecting me. That’s the nasty weed in my garden. That’s the little fox that’s at the root of my fear. Crazy!
But I’m thankful for the revelation. Now I know what he’s doing and what he’s working on.
Hahaha! It just makes me so happy when the Lord is speaking the same thing all the way across the continents as He is here!
I was just having a conversation with a friend about the “rumblings” happening in both our lives, changes and transitions that are REALLY GOOD, but can make you feel unstable if you are just going by the feelings.
Blessing galore, my friend! May we all continue to find our stability in His Faithfulness!
