This post has nothing to do with THE121 and everything to do with THE121. If you read the last post you know that I am in negotiations with a piece of property that I “love.”

Mental illness is real (I know, it’s my career!). I battle my own mental illness daily, which is why I am so passionate about Psalm 121 and why my house is named THE121.

I have found myself as of late in some very low valley’s and very high highs (and sometimes within the span of 10 minutes!) Have you ever been there?

Unfortunately I often put myself in my own valley. Sometimes I battle paranoia. Partly due to my own anxiety and partly due to past trauma but either way the battle is real. So when a friend asked me “where do you put your hope?” I had to confess.

Actually the confession came before the question even came. As I found myself and my emotions being swept away by yes or no answers regarding THE121, I realized the mountains and valley’s were of my own doing. I felt my hope being dashed – regained- dashed – regained…you get the picture.

I came home and confessed before the Lord that my hope was not in Him. My hope was in government officials. Confession. He quickly reminded me that I am forgiven and loved and that no matter where the THE121 lands, he is there.

So the verse above, is my reminder. He had not given me a spirit of fear, not fear towards government officials, not fear in being landless, no, fear is not from Him.

So I pose the question back to you that was posed to me… “Where does your hope lie?”

And in the meantime…keep praying for the Lord to show me where he wants me to land (physically and spiritually!). I’ll keep you posted!
