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.

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...

Comfort My People, Cry Out To My Flock

 I was having my bible study today, and I came across this Chapter in the book of Isaiah... Tap on the image to listen to my current music playlist while reading What do you want to say? What do they want to hear? There is so much to tell the people of God, so much to tell His children, His flock but only one thing resides in my mind as I write these notes out... I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you and expected end... (Isaiah 55:8) I came across this passage of the bible when I was studying today.  I had questions and needs that I really wanted God to answer and while looking to get the answers to these questions, I found the Lord giving me responsibility and answers for His flock, His children as well. “Comfort, comfort my people,”      says your God. 2  “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone      and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the  Lord  has pu...

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...
