Expect the Suddenly: Living Expectantly - Postured for the Suddenly (PART 2) by Rev. Maria Guzman

-

 

Hello Brave Hearted Steppers,

As we continue our journey from Ordinary to Overflow, I want to thank each of you for reflecting on the power of preparedness in Part 1. We saw how the disciples, Joseph, and even our everyday routines can become the stage for God’s sudden move—when our hearts are ready. Now, in Part 2, let’s go deeper into what it means to live expectantly—not just hoping for breakthrough, but posturing ourselves in unwavering faith, ready for the moment when God says, “Now.”

Living Expectantly – Postured for the Suddenly
Key Scriptures: Ephesians 3:20, Mark 5:25–34

Living expectantly means staying in a posture of faith, even when nothing around you looks different. It’s trusting that God is already moving behind the scenes. His suddenlies aren't surprises to Him, they’re part of His nature.

When we position our Brave Hearts with spiritual anticipation, we begin to recognize the small shifts—the divine nudges, open doors, and moments that seem to come out of nowhere. God is not limited by our timelines or understanding. He wants to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20), but we must be ready to receive.

Example: The Woman with the Issue of Blood

She didn’t just stumble into healing. She pressed through, expecting something to shift. In the middle of her pain, she reached for Jesus in faith (Mark 5:25–34). Her miracle came suddenly, but her Brave Heart had been postured in faith long before that moment. She was ready.

Reflection for the Brave-Hearted Stepper:
1. What are you believing for right now that stretches your faith?
2. Are you reaching out with expectation, daring to believe that your “suddenly” could come today?

Thank you Brave Hearted Stepper for walking with me through Part 2. Keep your Brave Hearted spirit alert. Stay postured. Stay hungry. God’s breakthrough may come in a moment, and you’ll want to be ready when it does.

I’ll meet you in Part 3 (on Friday, June 27, 2025), where we’ll dive into trusting God’s perfect timing and what it means to live in the overflow.

Many Blessings,
Rev. Maria Guzman
Founder of Brave Hearted Ministry

Thrive as a Brave Hearted Stepper by Lourdes Hernandez

  Last year the founder of Brave Hearted Ministries had asked me to write a blog about “Thriving as a Brave Hearted Stepper”. Can I just let you all know, what a tasking topic that was for me. As a matter of fact, the topic became the reoccurring question in my mind and in my heart. It caused me to ask myself the question constantly and consistently, are you thriving or are you just surviving? Is this something that is making you thrive or is it really draining you? You see, the first thing that I wanted to make sure to address was the fact that thriving isn’t an emotion. We think about thriving, sometimes, or maybe it’s just me, as a season of the best feelings and the best look, because thriving means to grow and blossom. Usually, those things happen in our spring seasons, and we encase the action of thriving to just those types of moments or experiences. But, let me venture down a different path and tell you that thriving is something that should happen in your life as you conti...
