Walking with God daily

Image result for walking with God daily
I woke one morning and was dismayed by what greeted me; ungratefulness. Shoot! I am late for my class, AGAIN! I set the alarm though, what happened? If I shower for 2 minutes then I just might make it, I thought. Then I remembered we do not have hot water and its winter. It is not exactly the season to shower with cold water this early in the morning. Okay now I was frustrated. I was frustrated at how late I was and even the mere thought of knowing I might not get a good seat in a class that does not have enough room to swing a cat. Man was I frustrated. And if that wasn’t enough, there was a possibility of a surprise quiz so there was no way I could miss class.
All this time, I did not say one word to God. I didn’t thank Him for this day He has blessed me with or better yet, ask for His peace. Why haven’t I? At that moment, I am of the mindset that I have the right to this day and that it is not a gift. In fact, I felt like I was the victim. I felt like nothing was going my way and it upset me. In the turmoil of me attempting to get ready in less than 2 minutes, God spoke to me. He told me to take a deep breath. Up until that moment, the only thing that left my lips was “Argh”.
This made me think. Many at times we say we trust God and are leaning unto Him for guidance, but do we really? Do we simply offer Him our lip service? We try to get through life by our own strength and according to our plans. We lead ourselves while making ourselves believe that God is leading us so much so that when things don’t go according to the way we planned, we get mad. The worst part is we get mad at God. We start saying that He’s unfaithful.
Jeremiah 29:11 says that ‘For I know the plans and thoughts I have for you’, says the Lord, ’plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope’.  Do you believe it? Do you believe it enough to trust in Him? Admonish yourself with this truth and you will come to the realization where you would prefer to have God involved in EVERYTHING you do and not just what you think God can handle. Remember that His powers are limitless. He is Sovereign (possessing supreme or ultimate power) over all. 
Walking with God does not mean that you consider His statutes only when you feel like it. In fact, it means dying to oneself and your desires. Walking with God means taking God guided steps that are directed by His Word and the Holy Spirit. Wisdom and knowledge come from God (Proverbs 2:7). Knowledge is the information obtained and to have wisdom is knowing what to do with this knowledge. These are things that we can only obtain from God and what we need to get through life because who have a lack of knowledge are destroyed.

At that moment, I prayed for His peace to guard my heart and my understanding. I believed in Him for my peace and that is what I received. Even though I was extremely late, I decided that I wouldn’t allow that frustration to affect the rest of my day. I decided that God will lead me through the rest of the day even though I had a terrible start to it.
I also pray that you get a revelation of God's grace.We are not alive today because we deserve it, rather because of His undeserved mercy and kindness. And when you start realizing this truth, you will use every moment of your life to thank Him for this wonderful GIFT OF LIFE.

HOPE

‘I am leaving’, he said. Her body immediately began to tremble, and trying not to drown in a pool of tears, she manages to utter the words, ‘What do you mean?’. She’s afraid of what he might say and honestly, she knows exactly what he means. Without hesitation and much care, he responds in a harsh tone, ‘What do you mean what do I mean? I am leaving YOU! Geez. You don’t understand English now?” She began to cry and immediately goes down on her knees. ‘William please’, she begged, ‘we can make it work. I will try harder, I promise. Please don’t leave me, please.’ He pushed her out of the way and heads to the bedroom. She runs after him, still begging. To be healed To be loved To be appreciated This is all she wants, it’s all she’s ever wanted. Many came, promised her the world. More left. It was always one thing or the other. It’s either ‘She was too good’ or that ‘She wasn’t enough’ And now she’s with a man, who beats her but she tolerates it because well, at least...

GET TO KNOW ME TAG

Wasssuuuup guys! So the other day I discovered a really cool blogger. Her name is Taimi Taaya. You guys should check her out, she’s amazing. Anyway, she did a “Get to know me tag” which I thought was interesting and important as it allows me to engage with my readers. I present to you the GET TO KNOW ME TAG. Q: What is my name and what does it mean? A: My name is Leena Franscisco. I wasn’t really sure about the meaning of Leena so I had to look it up and I found that it means a ‘divine illumination’. How cool is that? My middle name is Pombili, which is in my native language-Oshiwambo, and it can be translated as ‘being at peace’. I used to hate the name Pombili though because I have a male cousin with the exact same name and I just felt like it was a name for boys, lol.   Q: Where am I from? A: I was born and raised in Tsumeb, Namibia. Tsumeb is such a beautiful town. If you have never been there please make time to come check it out.   Q: What are...

Let Your Light Shine Bright

So I was looking at my past pictures and I have to say, I cannot believe how much I have grown. By that, I don’t simply mean physically but spiritually as well. It is funny but I see the growth in my pictures. I am not the same girl anymore. I am not the same person I was 10 or even 5 years ago. Heck, I am not even the same person I was last year! I am no longer the girl who was barely surviving, hanging on simply because I have to. No! Now I hang on knowing exactly WHY. I have a purpose. I have a reason for living. If I was not needed, God would not have created me. But HE DID. Oh, yes He did. He did it all, INTENTIONALLY, on purpose-fully aware. That is why I hang on-because I am not done yet and the good Lord is not done with me either. God is intentional, and there’s never a time where He’s unsure of the ones who He’s called. NEVER. As I look at my old pictures, I see a lost, confused soul led by her carnal desires (which are so deadly), prowling and yearning for approval. ...
