This blog came about when I was going through a lot of issues; a lot of trials and tribulations. I used to ask God a lot of questions but along the way it dawned on me that every trial I faced I got closer to God. I learned to worship God truly with all my heart. Every time I faced a mountain I called upon God to help me and the more I had the problem the more I became closer and closer to God.
I was that girl who had envisioned her life until the end. I had a plan for my life that when I turn 25 I would meet my best friend/husband and we will be happily ever after. 25 came and nothing happened , in fact I was meeting all the wrong guys who were also clueless about life like I was. As every girl is taught from a young age to attend school, find a job, marry, have a big wedding, have your kids and that is all. No one had ever impressed it upon me that God requires me as an individual to pursue him. I was more focused on my life here on earth and not eternity. I was very selfish in every way as I thought I needed big houses and flashy cars, being on facebook and instagram showing off every bit and piece of my life to show that I was successful. In a way i wanted people to accept me. I thought being successful meant a lavish lifestyle and wasn’t I wrong about this whole thing. The God success is very different from what people call success on earth. Each year continued to come and go, I began to grow and realizing and learning that there was more to life than me just yearning to live a lavish lifestyle. I began to understand that i had no control of my life at all and I also began to realize that I was also not even ready for marriage.
I began to seek God, I began to ask questions and creating time to learn more about my life’s purpose. I have had moments when I prayed and asked God for a job in a certain company and nothing happens in the time frame I will setting for myself or hoping to receive the same but God has always answered maybe a year after and I have forgotten about my prayer requests. God answers when I am mostly ready for the blessing. Sometimes you think you are ready when you are not and when you look at yourself a year later you just realize that you have grown and have learnt a lot of things. I thank God for all the problems I go through because PSALMS 37 vs 23 i know that the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.. It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. Psalms 119 vs 71.
I have learned a lot during my down times than I would have learned in the comfort zone.
I realized that every step I take in my life ; there is a time of waiting before I receive what I will be
praying for and there is a time to receive what I will be praying for. The waiting period is the most uncomfortable moments in life but it is necessary to test character and grow you into the person you are supposed to be.
Why a Blog
The purpose of this blog is to encourage other women who are in a time of waiting or are expectant of something. Someone is waiting to get a job; waiting for marriage; waiting for that big break; waiting to receive a blessing from God- everyone is at some stage of waiting for something in their life.
There is a time of waiting and a time for receiving which is the appointed time. This cycle keeps repeating itself hence the reason I call it a devoted walk. This blog is mainly for encouragement, totally surrendering our lives to God completely in true worship. It does not have to be a boring “wait”. You can change it into a devoted walk, where you walk with God, learning about God, asking God for wisdom, understanding, the knowledge of his word, revelation, choosing to worship and listening to what God is saying to you on a daily basis. I believe in the Father; the Son and the Holy Spirit.
My posts are going to be as the spirit leads me. I will be posting Prayers being led by God as well as any other topics which point to walking with God and also being able to encourage others in the same place as me. In the Bible Jesus declared: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Luke 4 vs 8) Thus, as God’s servant I worship no one other than Jehovah, Elohim himself the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Almighty God, the God of Israel, enthroned between the Cherubim in Heaven.
