So I turn 35 today.
Frankly, I dont feel a day over 25! With the exception of my hair turning all curly & out of control in the last year, I feel exactly the same.
I think I should start by counting my blessings. From the time I gave my life to Jesus in 1999, He's moulded and changed me to a person that I couldn't even imagine Í could be before. Brings to mind
Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
I was a young rebel without a cause, trying to find myself in a colourless & rigid world. Of course I did many things I now regret and that's why I find God's love so beautiful. His love covers all my sins. That's an amazing revelation.
In the last 13 years, I've really grown as a Christian but the revelation of God's love and Jesus' finished work on the cross only came about when I started attending
New Creation Church under
Pastor Prince's ministry. This revelation has propelled and changed my life entirely. In the 6 years I attended NCC, I got married, my marriage is blessed, my career sky rocketed & my finances have been abundantly blessed! All these came by hearing the good news!!! Wow!
When I just became a Christian in July 1999, I didn't know anything about God, Jesus or the bible. I was a baby Christian so that's completely understandable but I was quite lost during the sermons! I remembered I asked God for someone to teach me things concerning Him and a few months later, I met my husband!
I always knew he was God-sent because I was specific in my prayer. And..... he's serious Christian "pedigree" (born and bred in a Christian home and both parents were/are serving in church). So I have to say God really gave me a great teacher!! I've learnt so much and am still learning from him. You know how everyone says when you meet the one you're going to marry, you know? Well, I knew.
Thank you Lord for blessing my marriage.
My best friend sent me a verse today, something we've done to remind us of His plans in our lives ever since our friendship started in 2000. It's always the same verse:
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Thank you Lord for kingdom friendships.
I'm believing God to complete our family this year, the year of unceasing fruitfulness, and I know He's already given me the desires of my heart.
Hebrews 6:13-14 For when God made a promise to Abraham,
because He could swear by no one greater,
He swore by Himself, saying,
Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.
