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
