March 25, 2023. I remember this day clearly.

Three years and two days ago, God met me in a way I couldn’t ignore—and I wrote it down.

I wouldn’t say I’ve always been consistent with journaling, but over time it’s become something more than just writing. It’s become a place where God meets me—where He forms me, shapes me, corrects me, and reminds me of His love and His plans.

Around that time, I was deep in a study on perseverance and endurance.

The Apostle Paul talks about it often—about suffering, about staying the course, about not giving up. And I wanted to understand it more deeply. Not just on the surface, but in its fullness. I went into Scripture, into the concordance, into the original Greek—trying to grasp what Paul was really describing.

Looking back now, I don’t think that study was random.

I believe the Holy Spirit was leading me.

Not just to understand endurance—but to live it.
And not just to live it—but to carry it.
To encourage others in it.

That day, what I sensed God speaking wasn’t about having everything figured out. It wasn’t about outcomes or success or where this would all go.

It was about obedience.

I still don’t know where God will take this brand- Flare of Faith. 
I don’t know how many people it will reach.

But I know this:

That’s not what matters.

What matters is saying yes.
What matters is responding when He speaks.
What matters is being faithful to the assignment—whether it’s for a few or for many.

Because faith was never about what we can see.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.” — Hebrews 11:1

So this is me—walking it out.

And if you’re in a season where God is calling you to trust Him, to endure, to keep going when you don’t have all the answers…

Stay with Him.

He’s working—even when you can’t see it.

With love,

Monique
