A New Journey

 



The journey and walk with God that you go through is never ending. And always growing. Because you are human, you may backslide, go back to old cycles, and sin again. But the amazing thing is, God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son for the forgiving of our sins, and for our healing. And He knew that, although we may or may not be saved, we would mess up again. The important thing is, to repent and ask for forgiveness. And more importantly, turn back to Him. 

A prominent figure that we can look at is King David. King David was a man favored by God, after God's own heart. A man who wrote the Psalms, and had it on his heart to build the temple of God, but he was also a sinner. He did many things wrong, but because he repented, and turned back to God, God forgave Him. God kept David, and was his refuge in the times of trouble. So on today, I encourage you, whatever is weighing on your heart, and that doesn't seem to be getting better, repent and give it to God. And above all, have faith that He can create in you a clean heart, and renew your spirit.

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...
