It's the season of woodpeckers. Recently I see multiple of these red-headed beauties each day, which seems like more than I typically notice each spring. The beautiful thing about woodpeckers is that they SEEK OUT areas of DISTURBANCE. Areas recently affected by fire, land that's recently been CLEARED (God just recently spoke about clearing), or places where trees have died are just a few places they choose for their NESTING GROUND (allaboutbirds.org). How beautifully unexpected. They seek for their place of BIRTHING new life the places that have just experienced disturbance. Google dictionary defines disturbance as "the interruption of a settled and peaceful condition."

Someone out there needs to hear this!! God is using the places in which you have had interruption in the peaceful, normal rhythm, the places that feel out of your comfort zone and chaotic and disheveled, to birth new things! This uncomfortable place that seems least suitable is perfectly suitable for growth!
God is saying, "leave harbor." Harbors protect from harsh waters and waves, but they also are places of ANCHOR rather than places of progress. It may feel safe and comfortable because there are no big waves of disturbance, but God says, "I am your harbor! I am your safe refuge! Your harbor GOES WITH YOU! It is not a condition or set of circumstances, so let go and let them change, you will remain safe in My protection."
Harbor can also be a verb which is used to mean "to keep" or "to hide," usually in a negative context. What is your comfort zone HARBORING? Complacency? Bad feelings? Low faith? Low expectations? Let the waves of the spirit crash in to your harbor as you're drawn out to places of more disturbance...disturbance not to shake you, but to allow the perfect conditions for growth!

The word "memory" has been populating the news headlines, and the Lord has drawn my attention to it. A memory card was credited in flipping an election. A report came out about attempts to try to rewrite different events that happened during 2020 and 2021, but those who remember will know the truth. A study made the headlines about the connection between rest and memories. All of these became examples of how memory is an active informant rather than a passive recollection, and it makes sense why the Lord commands us so many times to "remember."

Recently, God gave me an image of a big tree growing atop a very narrow, tall hill. "How can this tree grow bigger?" the Lord asked me. I replied, "I guess it would need to be transplanted. It can only grow so big with that narrow piece of land." There are some right now that God is doing a transplant work in. As I read about transplanting trees in the natural, some of the process surprised me. In the natural, trees must be prepared for transplanting for anywhere from six months to a year before the transplant even happens! It begins with pruning the roots. You do it months in advance so that the tree has time to heal before the transplant.

As we've watched current events unfold, there is a temptation to feel powerless. The truth is, behind every negative headline and evil agenda is a redemption plan of the Lord. Recently the Lord has been highlighting five responses or postures for the church that partner with the "working all things for good" that He is doing behind the scenes. As we've watched inflation soar, the Lord has reminded me how, in the natural, inflation is caused by deviating too much from the gold standard.
