RENEWED HOPE

"I know you by name and you have found favor with me" Exodus 33;12

I have found favor in the Lord and the journey HE places me on I believe is one that is set only to build my character and enhance my faith in HIM and through that find real joy and fulfillment.

It was in late 2014, everything had been going perfect with my life... I was on top of things at work, just got news that I was getting a raise then a promotion, I was acing university and I believed that I was with the man of my dreams. little did I know that the man whom I believe GOD himself had placed on my path would shatter my world just as I was about to write my final exams.

This God of mine has funny ways of doing things and HE amazes me all the time. He truly knows me by name and I have found favor in HIM.

This man that I had totally given my all to was set to be married end of 2014 and I didn't know this till the very last moment. He, God, kept on showing me signs that this was not him. This was not man HE had prepared and polished for me. He kept on reminding me that I needed to love me and be comfortable in who I am and what I have to offer before HE sent the right man along. He kept on telling me there is no rush and that I need not lower my expectations as love will find me when I least excepted that I needed to be strong enough to let go and be patient enough to wait for what I deserved.

I had come to a point in my life where I truly believe that love and happiness were not for me. That I had done something to anger the Lord and now I was paying the price. I sat myself down and prayed hard, I remembered that God loves me more than anything else in this world and HE would never do anything to harm or hurt me. I remembered and focused on all the signs that I had been given and I focused on me and my spiritual growth. I found happiness within me, I smile cause I am on top of things and my Lord reminds me always that HE is by my side. My glass is always half full and never half empty.

I walked into the new year with renewed hope and faith, renewed love and appreciation not only for myself, GOD but for the path that HE has set for me cause I now know that HE will never lead me astray.

I remembered HIS words that kept on ringing in my ears as I wrote those final exams with tears in my eyes. In the book of Mark 11;24 Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

My happiness came to me when I least expected it via whatsapp in a wet stadium in PE at a festival, I now truly believe that rain is showers of blessings, on the 27th December 2014.

29th December in Summer strand I found my joy...


Trust in HIM because HE always knows you by name and believe me even if HE has to bang your head against a brick wall just as HE did with me. You will find favor in the Lord
