Trusting Abba

Sunday 2/7/23

"Once have I spoken, twice have you heard" is the dilemma that I see myself in as I look at my previous journalling prompts.

God had taken me in my walk with him and told me things. Things that I couldn't understand until it was knocked right into my head.

There are a lot of instances of bible verses, of write ups that I made that had answers already set out for them. I had seen them, but I did not understand. I had felt weak and tired, and I let all of these things pass over my head. Looking at my journal today made me realize that answers had already been given, but I was too ignorant to hear.

Romans 8:23 had been given in the early month of May to answer my question on choosing the right path for my life. I read it over and over again trying to strengthen my spirit to trust God, but it's not a 'by myself' thing... He works it out.

The following month, June, I went to a church where that word, where those answers kept ringing out. Where I saw people who didn't know how their dreams would turn reality, but still trusted God and now, it's happening for them. That day, I felt that I had made progress and I finally understood what it meant by "all things are working for my good.. (the good and bad alike... all things!)"

To further solidify my faith and tell me that it was not by my strength, I got an opportunity to learn a skill that I didn't think possible and I flipped. Yep, this definitely was not my strength... All the moments of being at home and remaining jobless was now over. I was no longer idle and felt fulfilled.
How such a solid opportunity came my way is beyond me, but I'm grateful and I almost wanted to cry. For the rest of the year, I was sure I'd be giving God thanks.
This broadened my understanding of the verse, and I couldn't help but want to share more about how "God did it!"

My trust is being built, my faith is taking a stand, and I'm relishing in Abba's grace. All the confusion, all the fogs are clearing up and clarity on what I should do is beginning to surface.

I can't help but realize that this second half of 2023 is packed up and I can't wait to empty the little understanding I've gained from my Father.

Act of Obedience

"I look unto the hill from whence cometh my help... My help cometh from the Lord" Today, I'm in a sticky situation.  Found myself having a writer's block, hmmm... But I have to write not just because I know there are people looking forward to this, but because this blog is an act of obedience... It is his daily dose of love to you and I. I'm grateful to Father... Whenever you think you've grown distant, he's always like, " My child... Where are you going? Come back home..." When it seems like all hope is lost, he steps into the story... That's my Father, that's Jahdosh (Yah). I will save you.... Save you from every destruction. I am here for you , Father says , I am your help in times of need and even when you think you don't need me. You might think you're lost in that path, but I am right beside you. This is a word for someone, you might think that God doesn't love you, that he's left you behind. He's th

Christianity - Overated?

It's Sunday again... A day where a lot of us spend time in his presence, go to church, listen to the Pastor preach, and in all certainty vibe in the Sunday ministrations.  That's how we are as Christians. It's the  supposed norm that we've been taught even before we could walk. It's how the "Christian" lifestyle is said to be. Yet, when we walk out the Church and go to our various homes, we live totally different lives... It's like we're another person and living a double life. Living a life that doesn't please God. And no it's not just about dressing or talks, it's about those secrets in out closets. The hidden diaries in our hearts. What does it mean to be a Christian? What does the Christian lifestyle entail? Isn't it about being Christ-like? Well... I think we seem to forget that a lot. Being a Christian doesn't mean we should live a life for show, it's not a reality show. We're not on TV. Being a Christi

Life... Be grateful!

Life... Only but a fleeting moment. Today, an incident that struck a lot of people took place today. The news of a coursemate being dead was one none of us had expected, most especially not in our final year. We never thought of wearing black and walking around the school, never thought we would mourn a soul so soon... But it happened. This led me to one thought, to one question... How can something that we hold so dear, be so easy to loose? A lot of times we are not worthy of where we are, but God looks at us and gives us life. He gives us the opportunity to live again. It's not because we're too beautiful or so smart, but just because he loves us. It's a privilege to wake up and see another day.  Learn be grateful to God for what you have and for where you are... He kept you through it all. From dust we came, to dust we return... Live a life that pleases the Father. He has kept you through it all not because you were worthy of it, but because he loves you.
