23 and Accomplished?

What have I really accomplished?


As I laid in bed and flipped through the pages of my thoughts I ended up asking myself, what have I really accomplished in my life?

 And for the life of me I couldn’t point out a thing and what started happening was I then began to compare myself with my friends, people around me and I quickly concluded that I haven’t really accomplished anything and if I am going to be honest I really felt like that. I don’t have my college degree yet, I don’t think I know what I want to do with my life, nothing I try seem to be working, I legit feel like nothing is moving, and the worst part I feel like all the dreams that God has placed in me have been drowned with all these thought and fear quickly overwhelmed me.

(Note : don't ever compare yourself to anyone, you are you and no one else can ever be you. comparison is the thief of Joy. Keep your Joy and let nothing steal it, not even you or your thoughts. You are too perfect to compare yourself or journey to anyone's)

And as I laid in bed and had all these thought it dawned on me I really might never accomplished all those things I so desire and if that be the case would I ever feel accomplished? I don’t want this post to sound too Christian but Christ was the only one my heart could run to for an answer and encouragement at that time. And the response I could find in him was even if I never accomplish any of those earthly desires I have deemed accomplishment (or a better word Success) I am still very much fulfilled. Now don’t get me wrong I am, not saying having all those wonderful things our heart desire are wrong or makes me or anyone less of a Christian but I was quickly placing my worth on all of those things and was comparing my journey in life to that of those around me, missing out on all the great things I have accomplished in Christ and in my walk with him so far and the Lord was reminding me that honey you have me and nothing can ever come close to the fulfillment you get in me. So as I continue seeking him, every other thing will fall right in place but he should be my main focus.

And so as I continue to put in all my best and work towards all the things God has placed in my heart, I choose to enjoy the pruning and keep my eyes on him as he complete the good work he has started in me. So if you are like me that feel like you have been in the desert for way too long, don’t lose hope, keep your eyes on Jesus, don’t lose focus and keeping pushing because he his faithful and just to complete the good work in you. Fighting!!!!

Till next time. Peace.

EXCEEDING JOY

-
This past weeks have been filled with thoughts of me questioning what the heck I’m doing with my life, especially in my spiritual life. I’ve borderline been joyless and I mean joy that only God can give. With little to no zeal to pursue or seek God’s face talk less of tarrying in his presence, all I have genuinely desired and enjoyed is pleasing my flesh (Netflix, random Youtube videos, mindlessly scrolling through Instagram) but in the midst of all that I’ve somehow disciplined myself to study my bible and pray. The main theme of my prayer being “UPHOLD ME WITH A WILLING SPIRIT”. I knew my spirit was willing but my flesh was so weak. In that same vein, I was enjoying a show on Netflix tonight when my spirit began to nudge me to seek God, I initially resisted but soon found myself asking to be upheld. I was soon led to Jude 24 which with all humility I have lost count of how many times I’ve read it. I in fact started a study guide on the book of Jude a week ago. But I followed the spir...

HOME IS YOU AND I - WE ARE ALL WALKING HOMES

  Google says home is the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household, but that changed for me at the age of 16. I had to leave the people, places and the very things that I called home. Joy filled my heart at the prospect of being able to get a higher education, I packed my bags with things that would remind me of home in hopes to mask the pain my heart was also feeling. Hours later. Here I was in a foreign land, my new home. A new continent, country, state, city, culture, people, food, and a new climate. Months turned to years and this foreign land become my home. The people my people, the culture my culture, the city my city. I made friends that became family. The city became a beauty I looked forward to beholding. I looked forward to the different season the weather had to offer, and I soak them all in. Despite the challenges that came with leaving my home country, I was able to make home of this new city.   Minnesota is known for its...

LET'S TALK MASTURBATION

-
What is Masturbation? Masturbation is the self stimulation of your genitals or other sensitive areas of your body for sexual arousal or pleasure. Some biological benefits of masturbation are: Reduce stress Relieve tension Improve sleep Increase your focus Boost your mood and so on So it’s safe to say that biologically there’s nothing wrong with masturbating. With all that said, Should Christians Masturbate? Who is a Christian? A Christian is someone whose behavior and heart posture reflects Jesus Christ. So back to my question, Should Christians Masturbate? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Why? 1 Corinthians 6:18 - 20 :  18  Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.  19  Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,  20  for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. It’s tr...
