I Think I'm Doing it The Wrong Way

27th October, 2022.

I seem to be going about this the wrong way.

Today, I went through a blog by Ezinne Zara (Bible Diary) and as I read every word, I realize that I've been out of sorts.

I'm too much in a hurry to grow, wanting to get all good things too fast.

When I started reading this particular blog, I was motivated to make a move.

Do more of what God wants me to do, and grow in his presence.

But as I read a post from the blog, I realize that I've only just started and that rather than drawing close, I've pushed myself a little too far away.

It led me to ask myself, "Have I really grown my relationship with God?"

Personally, I tend to be all over the place.

Wanting to make sure I do everything right, and that it's being done well.

For example, I want to start up a business and I want it to grow so fast, and start making money almost immediately.

Or that I want to read my Bible, and have that gift of hearing God speak to me in a loud voice (not that he doesn't speak to me already).

Wanting to be independent and work everything out so fast.

Wanting to start to earn the millions, and live the luxury life (even though it's not the ultimate goal).

Wanting to not get into the wrong relationship, but still be in a relationship so fast.

Wanting to be as spiritually minded as I see most people who are bubbly in Christ are.

Being able to tell my story, which has only just begun, and to share my heart's desires.

And everytime I hear, "Slow down!"

You're too much in a hurry.

And I know that this hurry affects me, but it's hard at times.

The point is, in growing with God, with the Father, sometimes you have to learn to take baby steps.

You have to learn to trust his leading and to not want to walk ahead of him.

And I know Father is looking at me right now and saying, "You've finally realized it!"

"Come, spend time with me. Let me teach you, let my word seep into your very being."

And so, with that in mind, after my exams, I'll be taking time off the blog.

I'll be looking for answer to some of the bizarre questions fluttering in my mind.

And one week can't answer those questions.

I know I'll get answers as long as I have the holy spirit teaching me☺️

I'm hoping to comeback with more fire and zeal.

A Daily Dose of Treasure will be back.

And so help me God, this season of relearning will bring more zeal.

This is my 20th post✌️

I'll still be making drafts which I'll update from time to time.

But till then, this girl has to go take a dose (infact, multiple doses) of God.

I suggest you get yours too☺️

Remember,

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 ...
