God is showing me myself in this season. He's showing me the doubtful parts of me, the unforgiving parts of me, the hurt part of me, and the root of my yes. My yes to the calling over my life has been conditional and through God showing me that he is forcing me back unto himself and I am learning to say yes and move. Faith and Fear can not be held at the same standard and this season of my yes will be a testimony to the souls saved in the future.

Breathing Fresh Air with Dakota Ep.3
After hibernating through the season of doubt, confusion, wavering faith, I am finally back to give the words that God puts on my heart in the hopes that others will be touched. It's not about me in this season, but my willingness to be obedient for God to use me as a vessel. This is the raw, unedited version of the vision God gave me and I am finally going to be able to come back with a boldness I have never had before. Enjoy Ep.3 of Breathing Fresh Air with Dakota!

This is a vulnerable episode that is raw regarding my willingness to forgive. In this season of my life, I find myself recieving revelation from a standpoint of seeking forgiveness from others in the season God is calling me to, yet still suffering from the pain of my past, which is keeping me from forgiving myself and being all that God has callled me to be.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to step out on faith and do something that you have never done before; however, despite of what you believe you are qualified for, God has a plan that goes far beyond what your eyes can see.
