Just being still. Sit in silence, let the storm pass, reserve the energy. Keep your peace. Sometimes that’s all you got to do to go by
The world will wonder, some will get worried, but others won’t even notice. But that’s not important. What’s important is to keep your sanity. Avoid making rush permanent decisions because of temporary situations. It gives you time to listen. To listen to what nature is telling you through the troubled waters. To listen to what God is saying about your situation.
Sometimes the best thing to do is absolutely nothing.
I hate it when people ask for my age. Why do you want to know? For me its not just a number, its a constant reminder of where I stand and where I ought to be. Mile stones yet to be archived, which I am clearly lagging behind.
My answer for now is forever 25. I will keep my reasons to myself.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The best gift I have ever received is that which was given by God Himself. A redemption path that restores the relationship between man and God coming with a promise of eternal life.
It is still open to who ever may want to recieve it.
Romance 10:9-13
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e]12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[f]
You did not read that by mistake!
And yes He loves you , even you.
HE LOVED US SO THAT HE TOOK OUR PLACE, PAID THE DEBT OF SIN, DEFEATED DEATH, AND EXTENDED AN INVITATION TO SALVATION TO ANYONE WILLING TO BELIEVE IN HIM. AND THAT IS THE GOSPEL
For the most part, it feels like my whole life thus far has been about waiting. Waiting for the next big step. Waiting for a new season. Waiting for healing. Waiting for love.
If only I could get a break and actually start living in the seasons I have been waiting on for so long.
But hey we can’t cheat God and His timing, just got to wait it out.
I don’t know how to feel or what to feel. All I know is I am alive, and I am trying to be present. Am trying to move on. There is a lot of uncertainty waiting for me ahead, new challenges, new obstacles and I don’t even know if I have any strength left in me.
Time and time again all my efforts have been without fruit. But am still standing I guess, but lately I’ve been feeling like a zombie. No expectations, nothing to be excited about, no feelings, (even lost my sense of smell and taste). Just living, no emotions
I have faithed it out I have prayed it out. Even fasted it out. But it seems like I am the one that’s out.
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?
My life is not just a tale of events that unfold. Rather they are pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly with those around me , those before me and those that will come after me. There is a bigger picture and each twist and turn adds depth, meaning and clarity, even amidst the uncertainty.
Ironic it sounds , right.
It will never make sense until you realise that it’s bigger than you.
It’s a statement I heard in a movie. After everything has simply gone off course, and probably lost ‘everything’, we have no option but to just start afresh.
Stop living in the past. What could have or should have happened didn’t, and that’s ok, we still have to pickup what’s left and continue moving forward.
Your attitude in your lowest moment will determine how far you will go. It’s hard yes, but it’s still doable. Keep showing up. Keep hoping for a better outcome. Keep believing that God has everything under control. Keep on trusting in God and also in yourself. For that’s the race that has been set before you.
The voice in me
