GUESS WHAT? YOU'RE NOT IN CONTROL!

Welcome Note!

HI! I am psyched to finally officially open this blog; it's an idea I have been playing around with for years (really) so I look forward to the growth of this baby! If you are reading this it must mean you are on my blog (YAAAY) so thank you so much for popping in, please do it more often and before you leave please make sure you become a member (don't worry, no secret society stuff, lol) this would just be easier to alert you of any future posts. Kindly leave comments under my posts and let's engage guys we're all here to learn!

Just a little clarification here: This page was not meant for "perfect people/Christians" but for everyone ready to admit that YES, I AM BROKEN AND I NEED GOD'S HELP E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y OF MY LIFE so you can always pop in to unwind and find out what God has put on my heart. I shall try my best to post often and always reply to comments.

A BIG THANK YOU FOR POPPING IN! 

The Proverbs 31 Journey

This blog strives to empower young women AND MEN out there who have made a conscious decision to leave the world and make way for God to mould them into the virtuous people He wants us all to be. Issues we face on a daily will be confronted and humour too, will be served. Let's have fun!

Guess what? You're not in control!

WOW! What an amazing (and busy) week this is turning out to be! Well, before I delve into all the juicy nitty-gritty of what has been going on in my head the past day or so I would like to say a BIG FAT 'THANK YOU' to everyone who took their time to check out my blog, you guys are fantastic!

I was just doing some stuff on my mobile phone when all of a sudden it just slipped out of my hand and fell to the floor; no damage was done because my phone stays wrapped in a convenient rubber case but that's not my point here, stay with me. Now I cannot tell you how that came to happen and neither can I tell you how many times this has happened before (countless) but it got me thinking: There are so many times in our daily lives that we think or rather, like to think that we have got control over things, situations etc. probably because everything is moving so smoothly so we feel confident in our own capabilities. That is until something not too favourable happens abruptly to us and then we wonder, where did I go wrong? where did all that control I thought I had go to? It seems as if you have lost absolute charge of that particular aspect of your life. As a result of this you go into emotional (maybe physical, even) turmoil for days, weeks (months even) ...such a long time you begin to wonder if you'll ever exit all the heartache. BUT you do. And that is why I love the scripture that says, "Weeping may endure for the night, but JOY comes with the morning" (Psalm 30:5)! I love this scripture so much because it reminds me that look it doesn't matter how hard the times are at the moment, neither does it matter how long they last because there is always that sweet, warm, fuzzy, overwhelming joy to look forward to at the end of the storm.

Now remember here that this unspeakable joy is not brought about by our own devices but God's alone. He is your provider, comforter, healer regardless of what you may go through; and this, He wants us to remember. He wants us to always bare in mind that He is that rubber case that will come to your rescue should you fall. He doesn't want you to forget that He cares so, so deeply for you; remember he said he knew you even before you were formed in your mother's womb , he loved you. Still does, always will. With this in mind I would like to clarify that self-confidence is a good thing but being overly confident in oneself may be fatal because we do not even have a quarter of the power God has so we can never be superior to him. That is why it is very, very important that we step back and give God credit for our successes because they had nothing to do with what we are capable of, but God's spirit alone. Don't be bashful, don't be prideful. Just allow God to be God over your life and place all your burdens and sorrows in his hands because only he can calm the storm.

You do not have control, God does. And the sooner you acknowledge this fact the sooner you can start being a free creature who does not let worries get in their way because they are all in the hands of the Maker himself.

God Bless**
