Restoration of Relationships

 




Today, I was made aware of some things about some of the friends that I have in my life. I will be the first to say that I have a habit of trying to convince people to like me, and to stay in my life. And sometimes this can come off really strongly to some people. As I've gotten older, I have learned how to release the people who are no longer meant to be in my life, but I've had a bit of a relapse. For a long time, I've been searching for godly friends, and then I thought I found one. But what God had allowed me to do was see that person for who they really are. And they were not meant to be in the capacity that I was letting them be in, I was giving up control in our friendship and things have been spiraling since.

But what God, through my mother, has reminded me, is that I shouldn't have to beg for people to stay in my life. God will restore whoever walks out with someone better than the last. Because God so loves us, He will not fail us in whatever areas in our lives need restoration. This is something that I will continue to trust God in, and to have faith in. And also, to thank Him for who I have in my life now.

God is Good in Times of Need

God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good. Today, I went through a mini crisis at school. The city in which I abide in for college underwent a "Boil Water" advisory. I called my mother and immediately she put out the word, and today I saw the full extent of the support system in my corner. I wouldn't have had this if it weren't for the Lord and His goodness. He keeps showing me that He is good, and faithful even when I am not. As the scripture says, "...Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him." And I am truly blessed, and truly favored.

We are God's Creation

  I went to a masterclass today. It was a group of talented students and an increasingly talented professor, and she was coaching the students in singing Negro spirituals. As I sat there listening to her, and its important to note she was also a woman of God, I was taken aback. God has created so many of His people with gifts and talents. Some who can sing, some who can draw, who act, make clothes, and a plethora of other things. And as I sat there listening to all the young, talented singers, I was in awe of God's creations. And thankful, that God allows us to speak to Him, to ask Him questions, to give Him our sorrows, and He turns those sorrows into something new. God is the ultimate creator, and He can do more than we can think or imagine once we put ourselves into His hands, and go after His heart.

My Journey to Veiling

Image
 For a long time, I have felt a pull. As a child I would have, as my mom would call them, "phases." Sometimes, I didn't want to wear anything but skirts and dresses, covering nearly every inch of my skin, or I would want to keep my head covered. Things like this that happened so consistently over the years, and in a pattern. But, some insecurity or another would cause me to drop my phases. It wasn't until I got to college that I understood what my calling was.  I personally believe that every Christian has their own walk with God, and what one does to get closer to Him, the other might not need to do. I had always been deeply uncomfortable if I wore something that I felt was too revealing, or too form fitting. And it didn't necessarily stem from insecurity of my own body, but a feeling of being immodest. Modesty can be a loose term, and what can be immodest for one person, doesn't make it immodest for the next. When it comes to modesty, for myself, I was drawn...
