Thus Far...


Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it."(Jeremiah 1:12)

It’s been a journey this past one year of my life, writing and posting for a year now on the blog. A lot of things I’ve been through, learning from what I’ve suffered (Hebrews 5:8).

No matter which way I try to look at it, it’s very clear that God has been very much involved in my life and in my writing.

I know He’s up to something.

As a matter of fact, on the 2nd of May, 2016, I heard Him say to me very clearly ‘Write for me’.

Truth is, our lives are simply an expression of God. For me, it’s been a prayer that I want to live as a reality; God finding expression in me- through the things I do.

Thus far, it’s been a year and not just for FunmiObi but also a year of transitioning for me. I’ve watched myself grow and improve, dropping off old habits and taking on new responsibilities, seeing life in a light…

It’s very good and healthy to take out time as the year 2016 comes to an end to just review the year. Check your progress with your plans and resolutions which you started out with and grade yourself honestly.

As the year 2016 comes to a graceful end, also mark out plans for 2017 (don’t just stumble into any new year) with God’s guidance though cuz He has His ways and plans for you too (no matter who you are).

Thus far has the LORD brought us…not to abandon us… but even farther will He take us!

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".
