The Life Planner






I recently went through a phase of my life which was really frustrating. Everything felt out of place. For someone like me who loves order and organization especially time management, I felt like my life was falling to pieces.


It was as though my life was passing by swiftly before my very eyes and I had no control over it. I needed to learn to balance my responsibilities to have an excellent result. That was not easy!


Eventually, I sat down to write up my schedule for my weeks. I wanted to live a planned life. It all worked out but then, there was too little time dedicated to ministry... to God. This caused a 'black hole' in my life. In as much as things were running smoothly, I felt incomplete... Now that's taken care of.


However, this is the case with many. We find it really hard trying to balance life and its responsibilities placed on us. In an effort to get a hold of ourselves, we begin to plan our days. In the process, many leave little to no time for God.


You need to understand that Jesus Christ has to be the centre of your life to have essence. When He's at the centre, everything falls into place under His authority in your life. HE WANTS TO BE YOUR ALL!


Making God your priority is the best choice you can make in life. Everything submits and works out for you. The frustration, tears, anxiety, fear all dry up.


When planning your BIG future, just remember its all in God's Hands. TRUST IN HIM.

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.

How Much Does Jesus Love You?

Image
We are humans and we know that we are limited in our abilities so we make provisions for such. We can call it the ‘human factor’ or ‘human error’ or whatever we want to call it. When it comes to the subject of love, we tend to also limit ourselves and also place people in our lives on different scales. One will hear questions such as ‘How much do you love me?’ or ‘If you love me then prove it!’ or ‘Do you even love me anymore?’ or ‘I’m sorry. Please don’t leave me.’ I had this mentality too. I could go the extra mile for only a very few set of people who I felt were worth it. I didn't believe that a girl like me could ever be truly and fully loved. This isn't an easy thing to carry along with you into Christianity where you’re told and you read it in your Bible and you’re expected to believe in an all-loving God who will never leave you nor forsake you… in a God who will always show up and will always forgive no matter what… in an everyday kind of lov...

While We're Waiting

James 5:7-8  “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.  You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”     Time after time, school goes on a really long break and I have to travel back home. I end up staying at for months and I'm always complaining of the same old thing that plagues most of us: BOREDOM!       I have nothing to do for fun, hardly any friends around and there's always a chore to do which all bores me to tears.      However, someone said something in a Church Class that caught my attention. He said "We're bored because we don't want to think and work. We can't complain of boredom when we're busy".
