Tripping | Making Time

-
I don't have all the answers but here's what I'm writing about today.

You know how when you're high on emotions and you're just blinded from everything around you? Like you just really don't care if the sky is falling, as long as you and him/her are together.. nothing else matters and all you want to do is please him in any way you can. You just cant risk hurting him. You ALWAYS make time for them. You cant help but lighten up when they're around and where being away from them is THE saddest thing.ever. (yikes.) Being with them you feel free to be yourself: to love unconditionally and be loved; to try new things; to make new traditions; to beat the impossible; dream big and live to fulfill it - purpose driven. 

That is exactly what it should be with Him. The only one who truly satisfies.  One step at a time, keep falling in love. And love. Love is effortless. Love is surrendering.  Love is commitment. Love is not turning away when things go wrong but holding on. Love is believing in what is not seen. Believing the best for that one other.  Dead to self. and making time for Him in each step.

Today i came across a few cool lines online I think is worth sharing here:
(No I do NOT ALWAYS stalk them.. but Every time I do it's always worth it.)

 Bill Johnson said that "there can be no resurrection if there is no death." Think about it. What else of me do I need to be dead to today, to fully experience that resurrection or that intimacy made possible through His death? 

I just saw a post on Instagram by Hillsong that said that "excelling in public passion is being passionate about private devotion". 

"If  you make history WITH God, He'll make history through you." - Bill Johnson 

Yaaass! I don't know but these lines spoke in high volumes to me this week and that's just what it's supposed to be like: INTIMACY - Every thing about being a "Christian", hard core follower of Jesus, preacher, pastor, worship leader or just someone who believes in Him, flows from this. No matter how busy it gets, no matter the work load, no matter the pressure (what?!), make time for Him.  Pouring out to Him is perfect Peace and Pure Joy in an instant! 

 Private Devotion, or Quiet Time (as is popularly known by many around me) truly totally delights me!  It is also something I heartily appreciate my parents esp my mom for. I have not been the perfect daughter in obeying her but in this I strongly consider her my hero for courageously introducing me to the greatest Hero in all history when I hardly understood much. More of Him has intricately and sweetly led me to love hard and love (her) better.  It's worth it. She's worth it. He's worth it.  YOU'RE worth it.

Doing It Anyway

For some reason, I thought I needed to be out of the woods of this process to be able to tell the story. At least a proper one where my emotions are not in the way. The danger of doing it anyway is you feeling the rawness of the rage, the hurt, the heartbreak, the bitterness.  But I want to stay alive and telling the story helps me do that. Not for likes and follows and shares, but to simply stay alive.  Cue tears.  There's this misconception among Christians sometimes that nothing bad happens to us if we believe in Jesus. You know because God is good all the time and  Great things He has done. I'm not writing to imply those aren't true. I just want to tell my story.  This blog has been about my journey. Testimonies of God's faithfulness in grief, suffering and celebrating life and milestones. And so the journey continues.  Here's what I've been dealt with: a relationship that I love(d) where he wanted to marry me ..... and then he didn't, the morning of....

Imagine a girl growing up in a safe little good Christian home. Key words: safe, good and CHRISTIAN.  I start here because when the environment in your development stages in life is safe, good and Christian, your views and ideas about life is very limited. Limited to only good things. It's not bad and I'm not ungrateful but I say limited because I had no idea how to cope when bad things happened to me because it was a foreign concept and that it was even possible to happen to me in the first place. God was my protector I was taught and I should be immune to bad things?  I look back and see trauma happened one after the other for me in my 20s and now 30s that I guess is where my safety net comes in. My safety net being how I was raised as default - prayer, Bible and family with phrases like, "just pray about it!"   Great stuff but does not negate the fact that I was raised to believe that God is good all the time and for a kid that was raised in that environment, unco...

Steve Penny Prophecy for Fiji! PROPHECY BY STEVE PENNY AT CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE, Nausori, Fiji - Monday,3 November,1997 "This nation shall experience a cloud of the glory of God, the anointing coming down upon this nation like a thick cloud filled with rain , filled with great potential and it will come down and it will blanket all of the islands like a cloud and it won't come and just wash across and go, but it will settle and it will continue to fall ...the rain of God's presence will fall on this nation in a powerful way. And the reviving of the Spirit…literally within five years, this nation will be awash with a great Revival. One side to another, this nation will literally be under the blanket of a move of the Spirit of God like you've never seen before. Just about every denomination will be touched...only those that are very, very resistant will hold out against it, but whole denominations will be swept into this move of the Spirit. There'll be un...
