***2/22/22***

Happy TWOsday,

Today is 2/22/22! Now it’s not really a special day. However, I’m making it one because we only get rare days like this every decade or so. It’s also special for me because every day for the past few months, I catch number sequences like “2:22”, “12:34” or “11:11” on the clock. I don’t think this is coincidental or strange. I truly believe in the timing of the Lord and his divine timing.

Divine Alignment

Why do I keep seeing these numbers though? Almost every day. I catch “12:34” on the clock. Is this a sign that I’m in my alignment season? I’m claiming that it is for me and you too!

When I think about the word “aligned” or being aligned with someone or something, I think of being on the same line or path. The word alignment is defined as, “proper positioning or state of adjustment of parts in relation to another.” The root word of alignment is “aligned” and it means to get or fall into line. Perhaps “TWOday” is a reminder of the fact you’re in alignment. All of the moving parts in your life are aligning. Everything will fall into place just like you envisioned it or even better than you dreamed of. It’s time to align!

Now before I celebrate, I have to think back on the times I felt all over the place in previous seasons of my life. There were moments when I took a step in a particular direction in faith (or in flesh sometimes) and ended up on an unexpected path. Sometimes I was happy about where I landed and other times I thought, “Umm how did I get here?” While I was trying to figure out where I was God was aligning me the whole time. **tears**

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.”

– Psalm 37:23

In full transparency, I can be very indecisive sometimes and I struggle with taking big steps. I fear uncertainty and sometimes the potential outcomes scare me. I also have control issues. I need to know and see where my steps will land me before I make a move. I like to walk by sight because faith is scary. Who can relate? Why are we like this? Lord help!

“Even if I make a misstep, God still orders my steps!”

Even in my fears, I constantly remind myself that even if I make a misstep, God still orders my steps. If God promised to give us an expected end, then he must have calculated our missteps in his plans as well. If all things work together for our good, then “all things” must include mistakes too, right? Breathe. Give yourself grace and keep stepping. Lord increase our faith so that we can confidently walk in it. **I hope this blessed you!**

#AlignmentSeason

I wrote a tweet about divine alignment around this time last year. It coincidentally popped up in my “On this day” Facebook stories archive.

Reflecting back on where I was and what I was doing this time last year, I honestly can’t remember why I wrote this tweet. This tweet spoke to me louder today than it did when I originally wrote it. As I think about the decisions I made over the past couple of years, I’m finally starting to see things fall into place. I’ve made decisions without having all the answers and I just completely stepped out on faith. There were also times when I moved too soon on things. Even still, all of it is starting to make sense. I’m starting to see the moving parts work together (for my good.)

It’s time to align!

This is my encouragement for you on 2/22/22, may this day symbolize divine alignment for your life. Every step you take will ultimately lead you to the place where God wants you to be. Whether it’s a step to relocate to another state, leave a job, start a degree program, start a business, etc. Take the step! #ItsTimetoAlign

Today’s affirmation: I am in a season of divine alignment. My steps are ordered by the Lord (even my missteps). Increase my faith so that I can confidently walk in it.

Sincerely,

Chelsa
