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.

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. ...

A Letter to Scarlet Scarlet was a bright girl. To some, it seemed as though she had it altogether. Her smile looked like it cure diseases. Her presence was so vibrant that people wondered how she did it. 'Where is she from?', they would ask. Little did they know all that was behind her smile. Behind the beautiful smile, lay hidden brokenness, heartaches and parts of her she was not sure how to express or to whom. She wasn't perfect but she made herself out to be. Yep, she done played herself. She would go home at night and cry herself to sleep. She wasn't happy but she played the part so well, so well that she began believing it. Yes, she was a nice person, but that's all she had going for her. Then one day, she heard about a God who can heal. She doubted it because her entire lifetime, everyone who said would heal her never could. Heck, she didn't even know what she needed healing from. Oh Scarlet. So lost. So broken. Never really knowing, or bette...

True Love is Worth the Wait

If you are like me, then you probably believe in true love stories and the idea that there is someone who was created specifically for you. I love everything that has to do with rose petals and bright smiles and colours and happy endings! In this world we live in, however, people don’t believe that love exists. The sad truth though is that people are getting into relationships, not because of love, but because of lust. Also, I feel that sometimes they don’t open their hearts because everybody is afraid of being hurt. With all these reasons, no one is then willing to wait on true love.  We have become so impatient to wait for our God ordained partners. “Waiting is such a drag!” or “YOLO”, they say. While it is true that you only have this one chance on earth, I feel that this phrase is used recklessly. You need to be careful about what you do today because today’s choices affects tomorrow’s outcome, just so you know. Teach yourself not to settle for less than what you deser...
