Today’s guest post is written by the lovely @corriehaynes! This is one I promise you won’t want to miss—her authenticity and love for Jesus oozes through her words. You can check it out via the link in my bio!

Just a reminder today from Isaiah chapter 45 that God makes bold promises to us, and that He isn’t trying to trick us or be unclear to us. . . . Also, I have a blog post up today about not getting discouraged by the small beginnings of work God is doing in your life. I hope it encourages you—you can check it out via the link in my bio or by going to calliesusanna.com in your browser. 🌱❤️

My family, friends, and I went to the Yellow Daisy festival this weekend at Stone Mountain Park, and then did a sunset hike up the mountain afterwords—which I’ll be posting about on my blog on the 17th. Along the way, we found some of the yellow daisies for which the festival was named. This one in particular captured my attention and I took a picture of it—because there was just one flourishing among the dead. It reminded me of the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel 37: The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. 3 Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.” 4 Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! 6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” 7 So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons. 8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’” 10 So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army. 11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’ 12 Therefore, *finished in comments* 👇🏼

Yesterday’s adventures...making sure I don’t fall off of the side of the mountain. ⛰ Oh and the waterfall was pretty too.

Going through my “special box” where I keep cards/letters from over the years that mean a lot to me, and I found this gem from three years ago. My youth group @themarginrc signed it for me and I’m actually really sad/surprised about how many people that signed it I don’t see anymore! 😭But that’s what happens in life I guess. Still love them all dearly. ❤️

Hey guys, I’m back from my trip and will continue to sort through all my pictures and post them, because there were some really great moments that got documented on camera. Meanwhile, I wanted to share something really personal God did for me over the weekend. There were so many things—I just posted a blog article about another handful of them that you can read via the link in my bio—but this is one that’s been building up for a while. . . . To make a long story short, there’s a guy that I’ve been praying for, and the more I pray for him, the more God tells me things to pray for him, and the more dreams and visions He’s given me of what He’s working on in him. I’m sorry if that doesn’t make sense, and I’m not comfortable going into more details, but I’ve been praying for this guy for a while and God has shown me things about him that no one else I talk to about it has noticed. Recently, I heard that there is beginning to be changes and miraculous things happening in his life, and I am so overjoyed about it. This is over three years in the making—well, in the praying, because God’s been making him for longer than that. . . . What on earth does this have to do with rose petals and @chickfila ? I’m glad you asked. In the midst of God showing off and encouraging me that my prayers are working, He (God) gave me four dozen of these beautiful light pink roses and a @chickfila grilled chicken sandwich and sweet tea. He’s literally showing off in my life, reminding me that even if the guy I’m praying for isn’t all I AM has called him to be yet, God is nurturing my heart. I don’t have to chase after a boyfriend to buy me roses and lunch, because I have a God who has even got THAT covered.
