Chosen

June 23, 2025June 20, 2025 Breanna ClarkLeave a comment

Through it all, God has been faithful, and His presence never left.
It’s an incredible feeling to be known and loved by the One who chose me first.
I tried to capture that feeling with this poem.

To Be Chosen By You.

It’s overwhelming, to say the least

To never have to question it
For I’m certain Your love is true.

To know Your presence will remain
No matter what I’m going through.

I submerge myself in living water
And am made clean in Your view.

And learn that after years of searching
My identity is found in You.

To know that giving You my heart
Is all I ever had to do.

To stop trying to fill a void
And finally be made new.

It’s overwhelming, to say the least

To be chosen by You.

Ever heard a song and the lyrics just fill every bit of your heart and soul? Each week, I’ll share the one that poured into me the most.

💛 “Miracle Worker make me new
I know theres nothing You can’t do
I don’t know who else to run to
Miracle Worker, I need a miracle soon.” 💛

✝ From the moment I first heard this song, I fell in love with it. But when I heard it during trying times, I felt the lyrics in a whole new way. This song is a prayer and praise to the true Miracle Worker. One in which I’ve needed to pray over the months. I just wanted to share one of the songs that pour into me every time I hear it. ✝

He Planned the Weather Too

June 21, 2025June 20, 2025 Breanna Clark2 Comments

June 8th, 2025 – 32 years to the day that God gave me the gift of life. And this year, of all years, that day landed on His day: Sunday.

God’s timing is never wrong.

He has remained the faithful Father that we know Him to be during one of the most trying times I’ve ever experienced.

So instead of the usual dinner or plans with friends:
I centered my birthday around Him.

I took a flight and planned ways to be present in His presence. A solo trip where I was never truly alone.

Sunday morning, I was blessed to get the opportunity to worship at 2819 Church, where Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell delivered a Word that spoke directly to me. His message, centered around the question of “Will you be ready when He comes?” felt like confirmation that I’m walking the right path.

A path that leads straight to Him.

I spent the next few days in prayer and studying Scripture in places He created.

It was the most peaceful, fulfilling experience I’ve had.

Now, here is the part that proves how real and good God is.
When I checked the forecast the week of my trip, it was predicted to storm the ENTIRE time I was there. All day, every day.

And yet God showed His power once again.
He blessed me with beautiful weather to see ALL of my plans through!

At one point, as soon as I closed my bible, I felt a raindrop. It was as if He waited for me to be finished.

Then the rain poured, hard. Prepared with my umbrella, I made my way back to my rental and Googled somewhere nearby to eat.

By the time I decided on a spot, the rain stopped.
The sun broke through again, and I could walk, dry and grateful, to Mr. Fries Man and order one of the loaded fries I can usually only drool over via social media.

Just like this season of my life, God remained present.
This trip was His reminder that there is always sun after the rain.

He has used the storm to anchor my faith in Him.

I am blessed. I am grateful.
Happy Birthday to me! 🎉

“You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” – Psalm 16:11

Ever heard a song and the lyrics just fill every bit of your heart and soul? Each week, I’ll share the one that poured into me the most.

💛 “I don’t wanna move too fast
May You be my first priority
And I don’t wanna put You last
I just wanna give You all of me
So slow me down.” 💛

✝ This song is not only beautiful, but it explains my absence from posting the past couple of weeks. As I approached my 32nd birthday, I intentionally slowed down and sat in the presence of the Lord. I spent my birthday and the days that followed focused on Him. It was the spiritual reset I needed. I’ll share more in my next post. 😊 For now, I hope you enjoy this one and remember to take a moment with Him afterwards. ✝

💛 “God, I just want You
And nothing else
And nothing else, Jesus
Nothing else will do.” 💛

✝ It was hard to choose a lyric to focus on from this one. The lyrics are EVERYTHING! This song is beautifully written and perfectly represents where I am and how I feel in life. The moment this song comes up in my playlist, all else is irrelevant. I truly become caught up in His presence. ✝

💜🙌🏾 The original is perfection…

….but I do love this cover 👏🏾💜

To Be Held by You

May 29, 2025May 28, 2025 Breanna ClarkLeave a comment

Sometimes we just want to be reminded that we’re still safe, still seen, still loved—especially in a world that feels anything but gentle.

Held

Like a newborn baby
swaddled in a soft blanket—
comforted,
protected,
secure.
A glimpse
of how it feels
to be loved by God.

You’ve outgrown the blanket,
But in a world not your own—
you remain held
in the arms of the Father.

“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”
— Psalm 91:4

Today & Every Day

May 28, 2025 Breanna ClarkLeave a comment

Today, I just want to take a moment to thank the God I serve.

I thank You for Your enduring love
and Your grace—
though unearned.
For Your mercy
and Your patience—
though undeserved.

I thank You for life.
And the life of those I love.

In this world not our own—
I thank You for always being present.
For always offering a safe space in your arms.

When I craved support the most—
You held out Your hands.
With no explanation needed.
I could just rest in You.
And it’s exactly what I needed.

Thank You Lord!
Not just today, but every day—I thank You!

“give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” – 1st Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)

💛 “I’ve been through some storms
And I’ve seen trying days
And I know what it is
To think that things may never change
Even though I knew better
I couldn’t pull myself together
Because my mind kept racing
Focusing on all the things I was facing

But then I felt Your touch
In the moment when I needed love
You gave me something to believe in
And now I never wanna leave

It’s gonna be You and me together
You and me forever
Lord, I pray everyday
Keep me in Your love” 💛

✝ The lyrics speak for themselves on this one. Shuffle always plays it exactly when I need to be fed this message. ✝

Prepared to Wait

May 18, 2025May 18, 2025 Breanna ClarkLeave a comment

The longer I wait, the more peace He gives.

My circumstances haven’t changed, but this week hasn’t felt so heavy. And for that— I’m thankful.

The flames are still present, but faith does not burn. It refines.

I wrote this poem on a day I realized I could no longer bear the weight myself. I’m sharing it now, during a moment of peace, knowing I never had to.

Weighted to Wait

At first, I carried it in my hands,
then my shoulders joined the fight.
Now the weight rests on my chest,
and I search for strength each night.

Down on my knees in prayer,
begging for strength to get through.
Drowning in guilt at how heavy it feels—
even while trusting in You.

Having faith is my reality.
Yet this ache is just as real.
Are You displeased with my sadness?
Am I not allowed to feel?

Tell me, are You disappointed—
in every tear that I cry?
I wonder if I’m strong enough,
but I never question why.

For I recognize Your greatness
within every breath I take.
This battle is preparation—
My suffering, no mistake.

Satan’s working overtime,
trying to weigh me down with shame.
But my tears are being collected,
so still, I’ll exalt Your name.

I’ll wield the sword of the Spirit
to endure this pressing weight.
I hand this battle over to You.
As I sit, be still, and wait.

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” – Lamentations 3:25-26
