Closer Than You Know

I've always had a complicated relationship with God. One minute is like I'm all joyful, full of faith, and ready to tackle this world with everything I have. The next it's like He is so far, I can't seem to reach Him and its like I have to beg him to come to me.

HINDSIGHT

This season is becoming exhausting, right? When Covid-19 was officially declared a pandemic and nations started going on lock-down, a good number of us figured it would be gone after a month or two at most. The idea of staying home didn't sound so bad- especially for those who barely get a break from work. Learners being sent home also wasn't an issue- after all, it's only for a short while, no? Now it's been months down the line and life isn't back to what it used to be yet. For some, one moment it looks like we're headed back to normalcy then the next we have to go back into hiding. The numbers keep going down and suddenly rising again. We're losing our nerve. The children are becoming too much to handle and it's seeming exhausting to have to spend every waking day around the same environment with the same people. When it all started armies of us prayed fervently. We made declarations, full of faith that it would be gone before we said Amen. But t...

If You say "It's wrong", then I'll say "No" If You say "Release", I'm letting go If You're in it with me, I'll begin And when You say to jump, I'm diving in  If You say "Be still", then I will wait If You say to trust, I will obey I don't wanna follow my own ways I'm done chasing feelings- Spirit lead me Goosebumps because it really is easier said than done. Half the time- or maybe most of the time many of us will find ourselves leaning more towards our feelings than what we know for sure God is asking us to do. Especially when it's uncomfortable, painful or generally just somewhat odd😊. I'm reminded of  Joshua 6:1-20  -The Israelites are supposed to conquer the city of Jericho. It has been securely s...

PEOPLE

We all care. Most of us like to say we do not really care what anyone thinks about us but truth is that deep down we really do. It's just that some of us have slowly been sucked into approval addiction while some have gradually realized that it really shouldn't matter that much so we try not to let others' opinions sway us. All the same, even those of us who claim not to care actually want everyone to believe that we are unmoved by their opinions so really, it's a big deal. 123rf.com They are the best and the worst you've created Loving and hating and opinionated Loners in basements and those congregated Deliver me... Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking Don't know what  validation I was seeking Deliver me from... I believe there's nothing wrong with caring about opinions. Because sometimes we're able to change our lives' direction for the better because we listened t...
