And So It All Began PT2
After becoming acquainted with the voice of God (see part one) and Holy Spirit training me in hearing His voice and being obedient, I knew when He would talk to me. It was a familiar place.
I kept waking up at 6:27. I KEPT SEEING IT EVERYWHERE. 6:27 627 6-2-7. Everywhere.
One day I went to a restaurant on campus (Shout out to all my Kent State Golden Flashes HAH!).
I went to get some food and received a receipt. My meal balance was 927, which is my address back at home and my order number was 627, my birthday. THIS RECEIPT WAS MY ENTIRE IDENTITY. I’m like no way…no way…
So I went back to my dorm to investigate the Lord like… “LORD THIS WHOLE RECEIPT IS MY ENTIRE LIFE WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TO ME”
And I heard “Read Matthew 6:27”
Prior to this day as I stated in part 1, I had been in a season of being stripped pf everything I would hide behind to give me my worth and my identity. And worry consumed MY LIFE. I worried about what people would think of me when they now saw me without makeup, I would be worried about going into my dorm hallway to go to the bathroom if I didn’t have makeup on. This thing was my life constantly living in worry….. I read the scripture
Matthew 6:27 New International Version (NIV)
27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
IMMEDIATELY after that I heard the Lord say
“627 Ministry”
and He told me to write that in my journal. Then, like a download of things came to my mind “healing people from the things they worry about: light skin, dark skin, body insecurities, makeup, no makeup, comparison, acceptance, worth…all these things…...and I didn’t know how it would every come together. I was so excited to tell people what the Lord told me even though it wasn’t even anything yet just a journal page full of notes. And I HAD NO IDEA HOW 627 WOULD EVER BECOME ANYTHING….and yet here we are 4 years later with A WHOLE LOT OF TRIALS AND SUFFERING IN BETWEEN (check out my story in the “Our Story” tab for how it finally came together in 2019)…..here we are. And so it begins…..
