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

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...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs". I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit. Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...

3 Things I Admire About King David

Hello Sharing Life fam! How is the going? I hope everything is kosher. One of the things I am most thankful for is to be a member of the Word & Spirit Feasts family. At the Word & Spirit Feasts, we have learnt how important structure is as we endeavour to be all that ABBA has called us to be. One of the principles that make a good spiritual structure is Bible Reading. I just finished 1Kings Chapter 2 and would like to share 3 things I admire about King David. 1. King David did not entertain guilt and condemnation I have learnt that one thing the devil specialises in is condemnation. He is the accuser of the brethren for a reason. His commitment is in ensuring that we stay feeling bad for wrong done. One thing my spiritual father would say is: the devil will accuse of not doing the right thing and when you do the right thing, he will accuse you that it is not enough. That is what he does best. But, we see in 2Samuel 11 tha...
