I have come to the practice of recording my journey every year around this time. If you are new here, I am on my life journey. It is not as exciting as some may think. I’m not traveling the world on exotic trips to Italy yet, but maybe one day. I am just taking it easy and enjoying myself. I am being productive in my growth for 2019 because I claimed it as my growth year. I am making conscious decisions of what will get me to the place I need to be. I am also taking in consideration that I haven’t always made the best decisions in the past. So although I grow in anticipation of what my future self will enjoy, I am also learning how to wait on the Lord. For the Lord is my strength and from him comes my help. I am asking the Lord to help me in my decision to continue my doctorate program that I had started in October of 2018. It is something that I had always wanted to do in the back of my mind. It is a lot harder than what I thought it would be. It takes up a lot of my time and it stretches me beyond the limit of my current abilities. However, I am making moves to learn how to navigate through my shortcomings of procrastination and time management in order to learn how to be a better learner and teacher. My trust is ultimately in the Lord. I learn and I remember what my teachers have taught me so far:
If the Lord brought you to it, he will bring you through it.
The one thing that I can tell you about life is that no one has it all figured out. We have to be very careful about who we listen to about how we navigate through this life because perspectives are faulty especially our own. I am learning that it is the Lord that has the true perspective of how things are and how things are supposed to turn out in this life. With that I say, live it. Live it free and to the best of your ability. But my words hold a certain meaning to me that might not translate to your over all well being. So, with that I say, live your life with Jesus and he will direct the path that you should walk in. No one can understand you better, or have a better plan for your life then him.
I have been losing a lot of friends lately. I have been losing things that I once thought were a blessing but the Lord opened my eyes to see them as hindrances. This was a hard reality for me to swallow. I am starting to see how my mind is changing and how my life is changing because of it. I am definitely in my own personal wilderness. I am walking away from an old life and transitioning into freedom. The door that I walked through has shut and locked. There is no other way for me to walk but forward.
If the Lord brought you to it, he will bring you through it.
Friends, If you don't read my blog and this is the first time you heard me say this, take head to the truth. Life is a journey. We are to grow and learn from it. The only person that can hold you back from your true purpose is you. We all have decisions to make. I have lived my life thus far seeking after the Lord, and each stage shows me something different. I believe in the promises of God, that if we ask, it will be given; If we seek, we will find; and if we knock, the door will be opened. (See Matthew 7:7).
If the Lord brought you to it, he will bring you through it.
Just like the Israelites were set free from their bondage in Egypt, the Lord seeks to lead us to freedom as well. The sea will open for you and you will have to take the steps through that walk way. Once it closes, there is no going back. You can complain if you want to. You can procrastinate and create other idols to distract you from your purpose. Your journey can be long, or it can be short depending on your obedience. The Lord will require you to obey and grow through your wilderness. I am in the wilderness right now. I am learning to listen to the voice of the Lord. I know if he brought me to it, he will bring me through it.
If the Lord brought you to it, he will bring you through it.
So, I just renewed this website for another 3 years in the hopes that people will start reading. I pray that people will start applying the wisdom of truth to their life. The Kingdom Culture is very close, and we don't have long to turn this generation of young minds around to follow the true Kingdom way. The Lord wants to bring everybody to a relationship with him.
I pray that I start applying all of the wisdom that the Lord has told me. If you would like to read more about my journey, click the link below:
I am keeping a detailed journal:
Journaling is so very important for your mind. It is a way to create output for all the things that are floating around in your conscious and subconscious. Information, ideas, and conflicts want to get out somewhere in some type of creative practice. More importantly than the actual journaling process is the review and reflection portion. You can remind yourself of the things that you have learned by simply reviewing your lessons written in your journal. Save yourself sometime, write it down. Save yourself sometime and review the word of truth; the ultimate journal for surviving this life.
Until Next Time
