God vs Time

It was 2 years ago I started the tradition of connecting to God in spiritual intimacy. Many people around me see me as one spiritual guru with no flaws. But that isn't true, I'm not what people have in mind about me, and I can't actually change that. However, I have always wanted to know God on a personal level and not in a gymnastic way I see people relate with him. It feels so tedious having to follow all those procedures, I always think.

I'm still learning and yearning for more of Him. I believe that it's a journey and one day, just like Paul, I will have my AHAN!!! moment. But till then, I will appreciate the growth process He is taking me through.

It has been 2 years since I started this 30 days prayer and fasting marathon for my birthday. Some days I fail at it, and some days I'm strengthened, and in it all I know it's a journey to what God has planned for me.

The eve of my 29th birthday was one of those weak days and I unnecessarily just wanted to sleep instead of joining in this last day thanksgiving online with Glory Centre Community Church (Tosin Ogundele invited me). But God wanted me alert and ready for the blessings He had prepared for me so He had Pastor Vicky call me and I had the opportunity of speaking with her babies. They sang for me and prayed for me; the Overseer and Senior Pastor of Hallelujah Glory Church - HGC. They made me laugh so hard that my belly and cheeks hurt a little.

It was that 'little' act that got me excited and gave me the energy to wait till 00:00, Tuesday June 30, 2020.

It has been two years and I've never had such a presence like I did in the early hours of my 29th birthday.

It has been two years and I can't remember the New year starting with a heavy downpour.

It has been two years of intentionally waiting on the Lord and never had prayers poured on me in the first hour of my birthday - It's my year of accelerated speed.

It has been two years and I have never woken up to a birthday gift like I did today - especially from the same person; he has surprised me twice already this month.

It has been two years and I have never received blessings from my darling Yum Yum parents like I did today and from her pretty nieces too.

It has been two years and I have never had the only brother in law who called me on my birthday like he did today.

It has been two years of consistently waiting on God and I am marvelled at the testimonies already emerging.

All these wouldn't have made much sense last year or last two years. It wouldn't have touched me to the bones like it did this year.

It all just shows me that God's timing is the best. And as much as I say that my 28th year wasn't as much as I expected, it taught me what was most important; God, Family, and Friends. And I'm super grateful for them all.

You should too.
