Favour

-




Some things I've been pondering on lately. 

Working at the stock exchange has really put me in spaces of being aware of and interested in financial markets, opening my perspective towards the realities of how the economy functions. 


It can get discouraging when all we focus on is the staggering fall in prices, indefinite losses, and possible job losses all around should this last longer than we want it to. 


With the obvious losses happening all around I was asked about a year ago with regards to where I work, something along the line of, "why invest if the businesses are closing down? Would YOU risk it?" 


Good question, and fair point! 


My response was, yes!!! He looked at me like I'm dumb. 🙄 I know that look all too well. I wont forget it. Faith doesnt always look smart ay. 


Anyhu.


I also felt the Spirit's nudge in response to his  questions, 

"What if its favour?" 


What if its favour? 

Drop in stock prices

What if its favour?


Curfews, borders, restrictions  

What if its favour ?


This virus, its vaccine 

What if its favour? 


Pain, deaths, hunger crisis 

What if its favour? 


Favour to invest while prices are low 

Favour to take stock while the world slows down 

Favour to rest from the rush of this world, its worries 

Favour to be present with family 

Favour to earn without leaving home 

Favour to experience God as healer and protector 

Favour to experience God in the loss 

Favour to experience God in the pain 

Favour to experience God in the crisis 

Favour to reach out to God, for God. 

Favour to recognize who is the God of the universe. 

Favour to worship through uncertainty 

Favour to accept relationship with Him 

Favour to accept that He truly is Lord 

Lord.above. ALLLL. 


*As if to mark what I mean, I came across this picture below that just tugs at the heart. Not even a coup or election if you will, has made a people come together like this.

    Amen! If we view all these from that perspective, everything changes! God's Favor indeed!

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....

Heartbreak

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...
