Day twenty-nine: completing the course

Welcome to day twenty-nine!

God Is faithful!

Today at church, my pastor made mention of an old woman who joined the group that went for the Church's Easter pilgrimage yesterday.

The priest said that this old woman was resting on one of the rocks with her handbag placed on her head when the group was climbing the mountain.

One of the infirmarians suggested that instead of climbing the mountain, she should rather go back to the chapel. They promised to say prayers on her behalf.

The old lady declined.

My pastor narrated how she told them that it was for this reason (to climb the mountain and to make her pilgrimage) that she had come all the way to the Volta Region and, no matter how long it took, she would complete the course.

The old lady said that if ever she got tired again, she would sit awhile to rest and then carry on with the journey.

Wooow.

To God's Glory,  she completed the course and got to the top of the mountain.

The passion of Jesus Christ also shows us how Jesus Christ was determined to complete His course.
Jesus fell down and yet, He rose up. Hallelujah.

This old lady's example of faith teaches me of what it means to take up my cross and follow Jesus.
Her love for God and her desire to encounter Him on the mountain top caused her to defy all the odds that were against her.

The same for Jesus Christ.
His love for Our Father and His appreciation of the love Daddy has for us enamoured Him to pursue the goal of Calvary against all odds.

Beloved, there is Grace available for us to make the journey to Jesus.
There is Grace available for you and me to diligently seek Him.

There Is provision for us to make this earthly journey and to successfully complete it to God's Glory.

There is available Grace, friends.

I pray that we trust Daddy enough to believe the wealth of Grace He has made available unto us.

God bless you.

Love,
Sharing Life.

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes

February 17th - ...but We used to be friends....

Have you ever felt tears well up in your chest so hard and heavy that you know you could easily burst into heaves of tears in any given moment? I had one of such moments today.  The first reading at Mass today was from the Book of Jeremiah 17:5-8 and there is a portion that talks about how accursed is the man who puts his trust in man and in his own strength. It talks about the dryness such a man encounters and how this man will never see prosperity.  I was convicted by this Scripture because it showed so clearly that the condition of my heart has been like one of such a man. Why am I saying so? Aside getting my second degree, I am trying to be intentional about my Spiritual growth and about music ministry in church. Basically, I am trying to be intentional about becoming.  ("Becoming" is the expression I give to my quest to attain my fullest expression as His daughter).  ...but that has just been the problem... "I am trying to become"  Having th

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher.  It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on.  Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me.  And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth.  After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times.  I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all fig
