Fellowship

This past week has been very fast if you ask me.
Funny how I barely left the house, but it's been a very short week.

The experiences of this week has led me to believe that we're the ones who really distance ourselves from God.

I guess that's how it's been, even in the times of old.

Exams start on Monday and it will shock you to know that I've barely read my books and with the tension in school, my brain has been hopping from place to place🙃.

My Dad had told me to read anyway, but it's not been easy.

I was supposed to update the blog yesterday, but I was tired and had slept off with my phone in my hand😅 (a very bad habit by the way).

In the course of this week, I'd felt that my praying life had become more strained.

Yep, Treasure wasn't giving off her doses as usual, and it's safe to say that I was bothered.

I still am, but a part of me has eased out.

Wanting to do everything all at once has always been a problem for me, and it leaves me feeling lost, confused, and at my wit's end.

Wanting to surpass my present state so quickly, wanting to not be looked down on, wanting to get to the top, and basically rushing myself.

I tend to forget that I've only just begun, and that I still have a long way to go. 

Pressure...

Unwanted, unnecessary pressure built not by others, but by myself (the environment being a major factor I guess).

And in all that confusion, here's the highlight of the week.

I had some visitors over yesterday and let me tell you, a lot of questions are answered in the place of fellowship. In a gathering of people with like minds.

I got a chance to ask a question that has been bothering me, and I got my answer.

Read Romans 9... 

I'll tell you the answer I got though, "God knows the hearts of men, and he sees our innermost thoughts and so, he chooses his people from that point. 
It's not by looks, or by how smart you are. it's all about the heart, and that's why we see people who weren't even born again being used tremendously by God."

I even got an answer that I didn't really know was bothering me until I received the word.

"Young man (woman), it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in.
But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do.
So banish grief and pain, but remember that youth, with a whole life before it, still faces the threat of meaninglessness." ~ Eccl 11:9-10.

Well, I need to learn to enjoy my growth process and live a little, as long as it pleases the Father.

At the end of the day, it's him I give account to, and so do you😊

God loves you😌

For the moments when you feel stuck!

  I started this year with a lot of enthusiasm... I remained expectant for the best. I had plans that I wanted to accomplish, and I wasn't going to miss it. As time went on, things started going off track, and I wasn't having it. I tried all that I could to keep everything in order, but the more I tried, the more I fell apart. I was losing myself and my focus.  I was always feeling guilty about things that I did and didn't do. At the end, I broke down. I thought that I just needed to be strong, but I realised that I needed a mind shift, and this shift occurred in the most unique way ever. I had to learn by letting go. Strength wasn't the only thing that mattered to me at this moment, and I realise that now. This write-up isn't to confuse or give you a reason to pity me but to remind you that in moments where you think that all you'll need is your strength and willpower, Abba is calling you to depend on him more. While I had my plans, and of course planning is go...

Starting All Over Again

7:44pm  Saturday, 16th, November 2024. It's been a long while since I've been up in this space. I just read a post from a few months back and it made me realize that I really miss writing. It's been like what? A few months? A year maybe without consistently writing on the blog. In these few months that have passed though, I have grown, and I am learning constantly to be patient with myself. I've had time to read, develop, and basically build on myself. One thing is certain though, I still have a lot to learn, and this is only the beginning of my life's journey...  Okay, okay... I think I've somewhat started it or maybe gone through a mock phase of life's journey. Hmmm...  I've experienced growth, and I can see what the Lord is doing in my life. I see how intentional God is about each and every one of his children.  Just a head's up to all old and new readers, there's a lot of God in my writeups and I'm unapologetic about it. I love the Lord s...

The Journey Thus Far

I remember when I just started out my Christian journey. It was the toughest thing ever for me.  I the basic knowledge of who God was, at least I thought I did. I only knew what our teens teacher had taught us, "Read your bible, pray every day!" At least that was the most basic thing that I could remember thus far. My walk with God remained mundane up until 2022 - The year I became the teens president and had my basic foundation teachers leave the Church for greater things ahead. I had little to no knowledge of what to do other than the words that they had told me, "Ask God!" You could imagine my surprise when I heard those words.  Ask who? I could barely ask a teacher a question in class and now you want me to ask who? I don't even hear him to begin with. But that was it... That was the answer I had been given when I needed help, and that was just what I had done. Not long after, I came in contact with social media Christian influencers and content creators in ...
