I ALMOST GAVE UP

I almost gave up today...

What did I learn today?

I have learnt that once there is the thought of giving up in your head, there are going to be a million 'tangible' and 'wise' reasons to quit.

You will be amazed at the many wonderful excuses that will come up...but trust me, do not give up.

In the midst of a thousand reasons to give up, ask yourself the 'one reason why you started in the first place'.

Is it for a purpose leading you to God or glorifying God?
If yes, then be prepared to fight mentally, spiritually and physically for it.

If it is a fast you are embarking on, then be prepared for a fight against the will of your body.
If it is a business you are starting, be prepared to fight against the system that seeks to stifle out your dream.
If it be anything of great value to you, be prepared to fight against the tide.

It is an error to think that things must be entirely conducive or perfect for the arrival of your dream or vision.

...Baby, it is a fight!

Are you ready?

You may be wondering... Marlene, how did you not give up.

My answer is very simple:
The Holy Spirit reminded me of why I started this journey in the first place.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of Whose I really am.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of the Great Power of my Father.

Lastly, He told me this:
You will have to decide whether to live in the supernatural or to stick to the physical. 

What more can I say, the presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of a person makes all the difference in the world.

You are more than victorious baby, this fight already has a winner.
...and that winner is YOU!

DO NOT GIVE UP!!!

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...

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...

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...
