Pray Until Something Happens
Hello everyone!
I must say that things are certainly gathering momentum once again, yesterday I spent some time writing down my whole story as far as this crush goes from beginning to now and it made for some seriously awesome reading, I can tell you. It had drama, comedy, disappointment, elation... all the things a good storybook should have!
The reason that this has boosted my morale is because as I listened to the recording that I'd made of it, I quickly started to realise that God's fingerprints were all over it and that, though I might not have seen it all the time, with enough time passed, I saw Him at work.
Naturally, this leaves me with the inescapable conclusion that I will have to tell her one day soon...
What IS Natural Though?!
Throughout this past fortnight, since I have been making extra effort to press into God, including 2-3 hour praise parties nearly every night, I have drawn so much closer to Him than I have ever been in my entire life realising that whatever happens, He is still in control and still on the throne (ED - Gee, where've we heard that before?!) in my life and no amount of crushing can change that.
I want to link to a song now, one that I've really connected with this past few days as it captures just how unstoppable God really is: -
You see, I've got a system in place during my praise parties where I'll learn a new song through lyric videos and then switch to a live performance, like the one above when I'm comfortable with the flow and feel of it.
With hindsight, I realise that this has been a wise decision because, pulling out of creative like I did at the end of October '16 because it got too awkward to be around, um, certain people, it has allowed me to continue to learn new songs and practice my vocal skills all the more. This is so that when I do rejoin, which I feel is inevitable, I will not have lost ground on my ability level. In all honesty, though, I feel like my ability has shone even brighter because there are songs that I was struggling to sing before Christmas that I can now belt out a lot easier.
So I suppose you all wonder what this is teaching me, especially as my last post was so focused on how I bombed when I saw... you-know-who?
It is teaching me the following biblical principle that should be adhered to no matter how bad it gets in this life: -
But we must hold on to the progress we have already made. Phil 3:16 (NLT)
I realised, again, that the more I let my focus drift away from God and the things that He was doing, I was letting something get in the way of my walk with Him and as far as my feelings for this young lady go, that is a big no-no, as I've already said before.
That's why I like the above song because of the line "fear is losing ground to our hope in You" because that's the kind of truth that I've been adhering to as I've bled out emotionally both to friends and in my own private time whilst this all comes out in the right way, in God's way.
Final Thought
Let us hold fast then to that thought that we are to not lose ground on the progress that we have already made in our walks because otherwise we will get no further in this life and forever be inhibited and limited in both our thinking and our actions.
It is funny how this has inadvertently turned into a 3-part post like the days of old, when I used to post those multi-part ones and I only realise this because of the heading and how these three link together and hopefully form a theme for helping you out today.
I hope this is ministering to at least one person as I pour out my life story on this blog because that is my mission statement 101; to help out those that are down with the hope that whatever your question today, God is your answer.
Peace!
