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 figured out and Holy Spirit is still teaching me life. I'm not sure it will stop till I leave here.

One thing about the eternal life we have received from God is that when we stop sharing the life He's given us with others, we begin to die. He created us to expend the virtues and life we have in Him with others; and the moment we stop giving that life, we die. 

And this is where I have been all this while... dying. 

And so for the many people who have been asking about Sharing Life and where I've been and all, this is it. 

This past Saturday, I heard something that changed my heart: FLOW. 

I learnt from this 4-lettered word that because I am a child of God, I cannot allow anything (be it fear or worry or concern) stop me from moving in the direction God has set for me. 

I learnt that if I don't keep going, I will remain stagnant... and stagnant water stinks!

The  more I move, the more I am rejuvenated and the more the filth in me is washed away and the life of God flows into me, which not only benefits me but benefits my community as well. 

Then I heard, "GO WITH GOD". 

So in this new phase, I am going with God. 
I am going, believing that He has given me this assignment for a reason beyond me and though I may not see what the bigger picture is right now, I will still move, regardless. 

So, if you see me in town, or come across any of my work online, be it in audio, video or in writing, and are tempted to give me any title, just call me, "Child of God"... because this is who I really am. Don't think of me as perfect too. He alone Is, truly.

See you soon and I hope to have you on this journey with me for the long haul. 

Always in His love,

Mary Magdalene

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

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing,  especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely.  After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means:  if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure.  I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be unable to repay us
