1 John 4:8+9 – The person who doesn’t love, doesn’t know God, because God is love. God has shown his love by sending his only son into the world so that he could have life through him.

SIDEBAR: Today in the gym, I had to pray for strength in order to finish. I felt so tired. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

Connect

Care

Celebrate

I signed up for a meeting not even sure why, but I felt impressed to do so. (Realised that I do still have a desire for validation when I felt like they didn’t see my response in the chat – still need to work on that. Yahweh, help me to only look to you. Question though, does that mean I shouldn’t want anyone to show appreciation? Just wondering).

What was funny is that there was another group before (at another church) that no matter what I did it did not go through. Meetings were never on when I logged on, I couldn’t join the GroupMe chat. The person in charge eventually said the link was changed when I asked. But I still didn’t get on. Eventually she messaged that she wanted to open the group again and if I still would be coming. I indicated that I’ve never been able to get on and I got no further messages.

But in this group, registration was no problem, logging on was no problem. It was interesting to see the difference and I believe that the other one was closed for a reason. I pray that it is truly a community where I can continue to grow. 

It’s funny, while I didn’t think typing up the journal would be a cakewalk, I didn’t think it would take so much time. 

TODAY’S THANKFUL TALLY

  1. AC miracle! Yayyyyy!!
  2. Strength for today.
  3. Finding (I hope) a community. It seems funny that in a year of solitude I would want to join a community. But the Solitude is about being intentional with spending time with Yahweh. 

 

Divine Decision Making (Sermon)

(Watch out for people who make you think you’re crazy)

When the devil is trying to distract and scheme, there is something about you that threatens him. 

Things needed in divine decision making:

  1. The need to consult Yahweh. He sees the future and knows how the decision will affect you later on. 
  2. The need to be patient. Be careful of situations where decisions are needed now. Yahweh gives space for confirmation. When there is unusual pressure, be wary. Don’t move based on feelings.
  3. The need to qualify your motivation. Why are you doing what you are doing? Yahweh this you? Or is it me?
  4. The need to curb your lust. There’s a blessing in controlling your lust (your desire for anything). It’s not denying that it’s there, because it does exist, but letting it pass when it comes. Btw, lust does not just refer to sexual things. But if you can get through the night, you won’t do something that would affect the rest of your life.

Yahweh, I pray for your continued presence in my life. Help me to make decisions that are aligned with your calling on my life. Help me to honour you in all that I do. Thank you for who you are. I love you.
