When you feel down......

So if you have been following my story, or if you know me personally you will know that I am a jolly person, bubbly personality and I love to serve God all the way... but that doesn't mean I don’t have my faults in fact I have lots of fault but one thing that I am sure of is that my God never uses by downfalls and weakness to judge me... rather he uses my journey in life to correct me and encourage me so that I may in turn encourage people around me.

Studying for a board exam can be tedious especially when you have spent so many resources, financially, time, energy in preparing for the same exam over and over again. It gets to a point when you really want to give up and I think I got to that point a few days ago...... Hmmm the way the devil likes to work his way into lives of God's children first and foremost is by FEAR. He lurks around us hoping to institute fear in us so that he can divert our joy to other things such as doubt, uncertainty, worrying and so much more. 

Romans 8:26-28 The Message translations says:

Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

This is the promise of God for us, as long as we believe that He love and Grace supersedes all that we can ever think of or ask for that we need to be strong in our conviction and faith that we will see us through the stormy weathers.

During this time for me, I have come to realize the important things and people around me. I am surrounded by family, friends and loved ones that keep pushing and pulling me up every time I feel like I cannot do it or maybe I don't deserve the best.

So as I round up, I tell myself I will Make It!!! That’s for sure because I have a testimony and good news to share with the whole world that is well overdue. I can’t wait to tell the world of my great and mighty God!!!

Oh before I go.... you need to be blessed by this song... this has been my anthem for the past weeks.... and I pray that this will be my song and shout of Joy very very soon in less than 6 weeks to be precise.... I will be sing “I don't know how He did it but HE MADE A WAY FOR ME"

Waiting....... How long can I wait?

The word "Wait" in this world that we live in can be very tough. I personally hate to wait, either at a grocery store , coffee shop or even to the point of waiting to hear from God but seriously when we sit and think about reasons we are asked to wait, it is always beneficial to us in the long run especially when God is telling us to wait on His answer.

So I took a long break away from the blog because of a lot of reasons ....,, weddings, babies, and school . I know that it's been a long while but lately I have wondered why and how beneficial waiting can be.

With waiting, I have come to understand that  we need to assess situations in life for example when we are studying for an exam or when applying for a Job or in line to get a promotion at work, waiting is required for one to get the knowledge needed for the next step. 

So let's take for instance waiting to get married (which trust me is a whole lot harder than I thought ) but to think of it, it is made me understand what I like, what I don't like,  what I can compromise with and what certainly I cannot compromise with ( oh yet the topic compromise hmmm - that it's for another day) and most importantly hearing from God to know that this is the right guy for me. 

In the bible Esther had to wait for the appropriate time and while she waited she was groomed to be best queen who gained favor mot only in the sight of the king but also in sight if the Lord. Over the past months, I know I have had to struggle with the act of waiting because my school has been tough, not to talk of finances, relationships etc and although things did not turn out the way I planned it but I know that my waiting period will not go to a waste. I have come to appreciate my waiting period in life because I can reflect on me, I can enjoy being single which a whole lot of people condemn especially when you are getting to that age. My waiting period has allowed me study people, critique my relationships, appreciate my loved ones and also learn to trust God and have faith that all things will work out  together for my good.

So I encourage you and also myself to embrace the act of waiting and while you do wait don't remain stagnant, grow, empower yourself and build on relationship with friends, family, loved one and most importantly build on your relationship with your Maker. 

my quote of today is 

 To be that woman..... You need to be prepared and well groomed and at times grooming takes time .

Have an amazing day .
