Unacknowledged Praying Buddy

As we exchanged story while traveling, my companion started to open up.
I know I had not always been good. There were times that I came to a point of not believing God and did ‘vices’ that follows an unbeliever… All the while, I traveled the world and had parties everywhere. I taught life was everything under the sun but all were empty. It lead me to search for meaning and purpose… you know where I ended up? I just found myself back to God… But it was not totally me who found God rather it was that knowledge that someone was out there in our home everyday praying for me. She is no other than my mama.

As I had recalled this conversation. It just dawned in me how my mother had always been my ‘unacknowledged’ praying buddy too. I am so thankful to my mother and my father, for I know, they had always been praying buddies for all four children. Indeed! Can a mother forget his own? and yet even if she forgets God does not forget you…
Today, 31st of July my Mama Junith celebrates her 59th birthday. Join me in prayer for more fruitful years of blessing and gratitude for life.

Moving toward's Life's Compass

I would stare at the computer and try to call customers but to no avail. "I can't do this anymore."

After prayer and discernment. I decided to take a leap of faith and say goodbye to what I believe is one of the best companies in the country. At the same time, it was hard to let go of the security that a monthly salary provides, not to mention the questioning looks from those who wonder why I was letting go of a great opportunity that others would love to have.

I heeded the call to manage my own time and be in the financial business. I became more content but worries of different nature crowded my mind.Was this really my path?

But deep inside I had peace. I knew I was doing the right thing because I was being true to who I am and what I want.

With faith, I'm assured God has my back. He provides me with life's direction.

It's Time to Move

For the last two weeks, I fell into depression. My heart was broken and I felt so sad. I just wanted to sleep the whole day. I dreaded waking up for it meant feeling the pain in my heart.

Sleep became a form of escape for me. I didn't want to eat and I became very sickly.

I know it was alright to feel down when one is grieving. But at some point, prolonged sadness must end because it is unhealthy and kills ones spirit. I realized that I needed to help myself. I opened my heart to God's healing love and picked myself up by finding joy in the simple things again. Like eating and playing football.

As I began to enjoy eating, it gave me strength to face each day. Moving playing helped too. I needed to sweat out.

Helping your body become strong again through proper nutrition and exercise will help you overcome blues. Along with community prayers, they helped me move on and keep on
