FINDING THE GOOD LESSON TOO
So the last Blog was a list of things that you can do in this Season.
I truly hope that the list came through to help.
Please feel free to share what you have been able to apply.
Today, we look at the things that I have learnt, at first involuntarily and then voluntarily.
I was at a place of denial and I had refused to accept the circumstances as they are.
But GOD had to impact on me HIS Heavenly gentle nag to learn what I needed to.
In real sense, it doesn't feel that gentle. Sometimes it boils up anger and the need to burst out in all confusing ways of communication.
But then I accepted and sat down quietly at HIS feet to learn.
Not for too long though...
The situation worsened and because I am me hahahaha!!, I went back to throwing my proverbial stones towards Heaven.
Then again, I arrived at “acceptance-ville" (what a beautiful town), sat at HIS feet, this time with my sulky face.
You know that combination of puppy eyes in between sniffs? Just like a child that has cried their eyes out and are suddenly offered candy and they get confused about how to transition their feelings?
That one right there!!
I have been in this cycle more times than one.
It hasn't been easy and I must say that this must be one of my hardest seasons yet.
At first I was the “angry-but-HE-promised-to-do-it" Christian and “You mean this will affect everything we had planned" spoilt child.
But now, I am progressively becoming the “Let YOUR will be done" nice child of GOD. Wuuuuueeeeh!! From Volcanic Lava to the Silent Rock.
I am glad I have learnt so much. I am glad I am wiser now. I am glad I have fallen in love with GOD over again. I am glad that I have been most honest and vulnerable with HIM in this season, and I am loving this new space.
There are some things I already knew, but this time, GOD made them clearer. If the light bulbs on my head would only be visible... Hihi!!
There were also those I heard HIM tell them to me a while back, but they didn't quite make sense. But now, I have them well explained. #IfTheLightBulbsCouldTalk.
There were those I never thought I needed a lesson in, but HE taught them to me.
So here goes a list of things that I have learnt in this Season, backed up by Scripture. All Scripture is according to the New International Version, NIV. I challenge you to to read them in various versions. The Message Version is my favourite.
I hope that one or two or more of them will help you in one way or another.
