Feeling Covered by Blessing

Let me start by apologizing because yesterday I realized that it has been over six months since I’ve posted a scarf story. That’s embarrassing because it is not like I don’t have any to share, I hadn’t had time to do it and now that I have time I have so many to dig through – it’s a tad overwhelming. Among the scarf stories I have to share are several from me, which again is embarrassing because sharing my own stories isn’t that difficult – so again, my apologies!

With that said let me share my most recent “scarf story”, which isn’t about a scarf at all it is about a pair of M quill flags called Covered by Blessing (which you’ve seen before as swing flags).

Let me start with a little FYI about me. Since I LOVE Dyed4you silk, a long time ago I prayed for a method for deciding if a silk was mine or not because if I went on sheer preference nothing would ever get sent out! Father has since blessed me with a “knowing” – so the minute I put a silk in my hands I know if it is mine or not.

Recently, a package arrived from our friend Nickol at Prophetic Worship Banners with some of our silks she had finished quilling, and Larisa and I went through them together. Some of the silks in the package I had dyed, but this pair I did not dye, Larisa did, so I didn’t recognize which style they were, but the moment I touched these flags – I knew they were supposed to be mine; however, I didn’t want to just snag these quills Larisa had made! As we talked about them, she also felt they were for me (yay!). So she went back and figured out which ones they were and told me the name so I could look up the word – boy was I blessed!

One of the scriptures was specific confirmation for me, and two others spoke to a specific top I’ve been talking about with the Father. The declarative prayer in the word (which ironically I had helped write last spring when the word was first birthed) moved me to tears it resonated so deeply.

This fall we discovered the Father had performed a miracle in my husband – a natural vasectomy reversal after 12 years (which statistically is a near impossibility). We found out when I turned up pregnant. It’s not that I’ve longed for children, but I’ve been open to whatever the Father has planned for us so I embraced this exciting gift.

The timing and events surrounding it were something only God could have orchestrated. Some of you long-timers in the Dyed4you Community may even remember me mentioning in 2011 (when I shared the prophetic painting I’d been blessed with) that I’d had multiply words about having a baby. Because of all of these things, it never even occurred to me I might lose the baby, but I did (thus the birthing of the Releasing All Dyed4you Art piece).

This has been a difficult season for me and there’s more details that I haven’t even gone into, but I say all that to say that the reminder that I am covered by His blessing, that His hand is on me, and that “There is a sense of promise, protection and covering…” over me.  Again it moved me more than words could say.

I can’t tell you how amazing it feels to get to be ministered to by the ministry I have the honor of helping steward.  Truly this is a beautiful work the Father is doing through the amazing team of ladies I have been blessed to work with who pray over all the silks and the Dyed4you community and who birth the amazing words that bless so many. Truly I am feeling covered by blessing – to God be all the glory!
