Bible study catch up

The hectic day I had gave me multiple reasons not to blog today, but the grace grace of God, and the 365 days challenge, I am here.

Today was an unexpectedly hectic day, I felt like I was not in control of anything except my temper. I'm glad the day is over and I can finally rest. Today I woke up so early, I missed the morning prayer session at 6am, but I saved the live in my collections, I will definitely watch it as soon as I get a chance.

The main point of today's blog is showing up, even if I don't have thousands of readers (yet), I will continue to show up everyday until my blog reaches over a million readers and even beyond that. Yes I am thinking that ahead. I choose to decree and declare positivity about my blog.A small girl with a big God, that will forever be my everyday testimony. My God is bigger than any situation. I serve a miracle working God. 

Yesterday at bible study, we were reading Matthew 4:18-22. This is the scripture where Jesus called his first disciples. The title was "Come,follow me". In the scripture we read that when Jesus called Peter and Andrew, they were casting their nets, but they left what they were doing and followed Jesus. They honored Jesus' invitation. They didn't say they were still busy and  they didn't give 13 reasons why they couldn't follow him. Then Jesus saw another pair of brothers, James and John, and he called them. They left their father, and followed Jesus. 

Why do we not do the same ? Why do we always have excuses when Jesus calls us ? The holy spirit has really been convicting me with this one, because sometimes I would get the urge to read my bible, but I would put it in front of me, and end up playing candy crush instead, then another task comes then I sometimes end up not reading it. This is quite a shameful confession, but now that I have been convicted, I have to work on doing better. 

Jesus is calling you and I, he is inviting us, he is giving us access, he is giving us direction, are we going to answer the call ? Remember to engage, follow, share and watch out for my next post...

I love you, but Jesus loves you more.

A moment of confusion: story of my life

 Today I would like to talk about something that I have been thinking a lot about lately. This involves someone of the opposite gender. Ever since I have given my life to Christ and actively sought Him, my perspective on romantic relationships has shifted drastically. Here is the story, grab a chair, it's quite long... Let me give the guy the name K. K and I have known each other for about 5 years now. We tried something back when I was in high school. It wasn't really a relationship, but at that time, it was the closest I had to a relationship. This was because was unavailable most of the time because of my strict parents and also because we lived far apart, and could only see each other whenever I got a chance to go to town, which was not very often. So most of our relationship was on the phone, basically, our relationship deepened on the phone.  Things were going smoothly until I lost my phone at school, we didn't communicate for about 3-4 months. I could only contact hi

Happy New Week

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today is day 10/365 of blogging everyday for a year. My life is so boring, I have no idea what I will be blogging about in the next 355 days, but please bear with me, because God is good.  Remember the things I said I am looking forward to in this new month ?, they're currently stagnant. But I have a small amount of hope that things wiI start moving. I haven't left the house since this month started. It's been quite a while since I stepped out of the house, the idea of it kinda scares me now.  I am dedicating more time to reading the Bible and spending time with God, and this 'boring' phase in my life is exactly what I need to focus on myself and my relationship with God. As I mentioned some time ago, I am taking a break from social media(Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), for some time. I have made an exception with YouTube, I will only allow myself 3 videos a week max. This break is going to help me reduce external voices and/or influence in my

Being a student/ learner

 What does it mean to be a student? Is it only going to school and sitting in class? Let me tell you what I think. Being a student is about being teachable and willing to learn new things or to learn old things differently. I believe an old dog can be taught new tricks, no one is ever too old to learn anything. At the end of the day, life is the greatest teacher. So as long as you're still alive, make every day an opportunity to learn something new. There was a point in my life where I felt like everything was going south, I kept asking myself "Why is this happening to me ?" and someone said to me "The question you should be asking is "What can I learn from this ?" That response forever altered my thought pattern and my overall perception of life. This helped me to get out of the victim mindset and actually learn from different situations. The same applies in school if you fail a grade, you will find yourself repeating another year in the same class, with d
