Part 2: Do not miss your way

Hello, Sharing Life fam!

I hope the week has been eventful as mine has.

Last week, I spoke about community and how we ought to keep in mind that our lives are for community. I recall my last words being: And, a part of community is in understanding that your life isn't just for you only.

I was pondering on what this week's post would be when Holy Spirit brought to my attention an experience I had had in Kumasi when I was in KNUST.

I was on my way to campus from town and to get a bus that would take me to my hostel, I had to climb the overhead bridge to the other side to get a bus.

In normal fashion, I ran up the stairs.

When I got to about half the steps, a woman I had seen on the staircase (obviously catching her breath) said to me in twi (which I will type in English): I was waiting for you so I continue.

This got me thinking: how many people in my life are waiting for me to take a step so they do?

How many people around me need my courage, boldness, perseverance and persistence to live?

This is someone I did not know. And to be honest, I haven't met since. I'm not sure I can even remember what she looks like.

So today, like last week, I want to say to you that there are lives attached to your destiny.

There are lives depending on your obedience.

There are lives that need you to stay the course.

Right now, it may seem like there's nothing but, believe me, it will blow your mind the people you will encounter on your next junction of obedience.

Right now, it may seem there are no rewards in sight, you have nothing to show for all the work you're putting in. It may seem there is nothing happening even though you are showing up, putting in the work, and doing what in your "heartest", you know is yours to do. But, stay the course. It will all add up.

So, this is me here again, saying to you: Do not miss your way... lives are counting on you 💕

With all my love, as always,

Mary Magdalene.

Heartest: in your heart of hearts

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
