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...

An Invitation to Intimacy

I gave my life to Jesus in St. Louis Senior High School. I am very sure I had gone forward for altar calls many times before that. But St. Louis was different. I was conscious; I was aware of myself and my environment. I knew I needed God in my life. To be honest, the issues of life drove me to take God seriously. A friend had had a dream about her and me and the moment she shared it, I knew I had to let go of the old garment and take on the new. So, I joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) meetings and that was where my life changed. That encounter led me to a great relationship with the Lord. I read the Scriptures (my favourite was the Book of Psalms because I used that to pray a lot). It was in St. Louis I learnt I was never alone (why do you think I support Liverpool FC so much?). I learnt to rely on Him alone. When I entered the University, I realized a newfound freedom and observed (by the Grace of God) that if I didn’t take my spirituality seriousl...

Show up

Two weeks ago, I published a post titled, " Cornerstone " and in that post, I shared how Holy Spirit had thought me about what it means to put Jesus first in seeking Him. I talked about how by prioritizing time spent with Him, it meant that all the other areas/facets of my life would find their alignment from this one choice. Today, I bring you updates from this post and a few things to share. Before I get to it, let me say how grateful I am to God for the Grace to remember this truth and prioritize Him. Honestly, to God be all the Glory. Last week, I was reading the book of Daniel and in chapter 1, I saw how Daniel and his 3 friends chose to prioritize their devotion to God above what the Babylonian king wanted them to do. In the chapter, we see how ABBA made them 10x better than their contemporaries. So today, I want to share Daniel 1: 17-20 "17 As for these four youths, God gave them learning and s kill in all literat...
