Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Today's daily dose ♥ I am sharing with you has become my 'Go to scripture' over the past months. My journey has been long... A lot of things in my life right now I don't understand or makes no sense to me, some do, yet I have my days that I am down, depressed, confused, but then I search the scriptures, this Blog and it keeps me going. FYI, this blog has been so therapeutic for me. Having a bad day I just read my posts and my ♥ the Bible. Pray, meditate and I am so much better:-) I started this Blog not as a hobby but to share my realistic journey on my walk with Christ. I grew up like most of us in church, lived the 'robot' life filled with hypocrisy and it took a silent/dry season to get me out of "Religion". Through this season had I not humbled myself I would have never heard God's calling, his voice, his message for me. I could have been filled with Pride and used my silent/dry season to backslide and blame God. My season has been a hard CHALLENGE and through God's strength I am still standing. Phewwwwww:-)
Over the past two years, I literally lost everything and have lived in abject poverty but the faithfulness of God is if you see me you would never believe it, God's anointing is on me and I know that seasons change. He continues to make a way where there is no way for me and I stay amazed by his awesomeness. I have two college degrees yet securing a job has been non and void, I am not lazy, been supporting myself since I was 15, yet what went wrong? Why am I being evicted, why is my small side business crashing, no source of income God you created me for signs and wonders what's going on? After months of living in depression and the same ole answers we get in church 'hang on, God will change your situation' which is true, I decided to seek God myself. I got tired of depending on Pastors or the Church for answers. I was not getting what I wanted, everything seemed so generic (I attend a new church now, Church to me is like a hospital you choose one based on your preference). I am a fighter, I am used to doing things and getting results my way so I decided to get to the bottom of my situation. What was happening to me? I knew my answers were in the Bible, I was praying and meditating one day and I said I should keep a journal of my 'misfortunes lol, journey, testimonies, then another side of me said No! Share it with the world hence I started this blog.
A lot of times we pursue or strive to do things our way not listening to the voice or calling of God. Through my dry season my relationship with God has gotten so much stronger my goodness! God has been trying to get my attention all these years and due to pride, material things, quick prayers because I was tired or too busy, church every other Sunday because I wanted to make up my gym time or rather go out to brunch with friends, lol it took for my life to STOP before I finally GOT IT! I gained a few pounds but that's okay will loose it and start working out again, broke up with my boyfriend, no more fornicating:-) need God's attention and need to be obedient:-) My loves whatever your situation please take the time to humble yourself, stop the blaming game especially when nothing makes sense, pray and just listen. Is God trying to get your attention? Even at your joyful season stay humble and look up to God. He has promised he will never fail and he shall never fail.
My journey still continues... I have awesome & bad days but I thank God everyday for my spiritual growth so proud of myself, material things mean nothing to me now. God created us to be lenders and not borrowers and I know in God's due season I have not and will not beg for bread he has always made a way for me. My God is bigger than any financial situation, I live it all in his name. Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to share my story and I hope and pray that grace and favor would be upon all my sweethearts. Stay focused, persevere and stay HUMBLE:-) ♥
