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.

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 f...

Daughter of the King by Jamie Grace ft. Morgan Harper Nichols

[Verse 1: Jamie Grace] They tell me I'm too young Tell me I'm not beautiful I'm not good enough I'm not worth anything at all They tell me I dream too much I got my head in the clouds Maybe I'm just hoping For something better than what I see now A world where every girl knows [Chorus 1: Jamie Grace] The Maker of skies, the Maker of seas The Maker of every beautiful thing He made you, He made you too The mountain high, the river wide He tells the sun when to set and rise And He made you, He made you too You're a daughter of the King So tell me, what does that make you? [Verse 2: Morgan Harper Nichols] So put your shoulders back Don't you know that you're beautiful You don't gotta tell 'em that, no Just walk around like you know And if you see our sister (if you see our sister) Looking like she forgot Like her dreams got crushed You better remind her [Chorus 1: Morgan Harper Nichols] The Maker of skies, the Maker o...

Day six: The perfect start

Waking up to pray has been extremely hard to do in the past few days. For some time now, I wake up in the mornings feeling more tired than I went to bed. And so although my eyes are open, it is a real struggle getting out of the bed. Initially, this morning, I was feeling bad about it. After a few minutes, I resolved to pray from my bed. I did that… and ended up sleeping at a point . It was better than nothing. That moment taught me that the perfect start is the one that happens from exactly where you are. There is a reason why God wants this relationship with us: aside from the fact that it is a love thing, God also knows that we truly and sincerely cannot make it in this life without Him. He Is not looking for a perfect daughter neither is He searching for a perfect son. He Is perfect and His perfection is enough for all of us. I remember those times when I would tell my spiritual father I was struggling to pray. He would say to me: Why don’t you ask the Lord to help you? Why d...
