IBOGIRL LIVING

  A lot of the time, we tend to see ourselves from the skewed or distorted lens of our mistakes, sins or weaknesses. We do not believe that we are worthy of much based on how our lives may or may not have turned out and judge ourselves harshly as a result; but God wants us to start seeing ourselves the way He sees us. To Him we are called, worthy, chosen, loved and gifted ( See John 15:16).

  If you've got even the remotest background in Christianity, then you definitely know and can recite The Lord's Prayer. In high school, I recited it at every morning assembly, making it merely the routine prayer we said as we gathered to start the day.

  Before getting on with today's post, first let me apologize for not uploading last week as scheduled. Without getting into too much detail, there was so much going on on this side that left me with no time to upload but I'm back and ready to get back to consistently bringing you posts every Thursday as the Holy Spirit continues to help me.

  Whether it's now, later or at some point in the past. we have all experienced a waiting season. Waiting is not something that comes naturally to many folks, and I mean me too, but it is something we all have to do irrespective of whether we like to or not.

  Did you know that 'Jealousy is the trophy mediocrity gives to excellence?' I heard that earlier this week and just thought to share it with you because it's important that many of us know this so we can know peace.

  It's funny how we use the term 'normalize' with almost everything these days, yet somehow never seem to apply it to the things of God. I've had to learn that if I want the best from my relationship with God, I've got to give Him QUALITY TIME. I strongly believe that this is God's love language.
