What next?

In Genesis 1:3-31 talks about the creation story. One point that just struck me is that it was not haphazard. It was structured and it was sequential. Sky and Ground was separated and  then living things were created in them. 
Ecclesiastics talks about precepts upon precept, line upon line this is because there is an expectation that things have to be put in the right order. The bible talks of seeking the kingdom of God first and then will all other things be added unto you. If you cannot do the primary how do you expect the increase to come. You cannot expect a harvest of the things that you don't plant. 
Many times people try to do things without the proper structure.
Imagine the creation of fishes without the separation of waters or the creation of birds without the firmaments. God always knows the end from the beginning and He always knows how to orchestrate the events that will ensure that things flow differently.
At various points in our lives, we are at different points in our creation story. Being the humans that we are, we have free will and sometimes we feel that because we can plan, we have it all figured out. But like in the creation story, we just know up to the point that has been archived and when we get there we get anxious about the next ten paces.
John 1 records that God was in the beginning and we know He is also present continuous and various parts of the bible go to show that there is always a big picture.
No matter the part of your creation story that you find yourself it should be  comforting to know that he had finished from all His works and rested so He has you all figured out. Gradually, precepts upon precepts, line upon line, He is putting together a beautiful complete story.

My Gratitude Journal

Today I have decided to switch things up a little bit. I want to thank you for testimonies that seem like a lie. All of them are a result of your goodness and benevolence to me and mine. Especially in this season where people are judging the seasons if their lives by what is being said on the NEWS and in the stock market. I judge your faithfulness by the goodness I have enjoyed in and out of season. My cruise of oil has not run out neither has my barn of wheat dried up. You have been faithful and good in every area of my life. This picture depicts the condition of my heart, joy, gratitude and nothing more. God is dependable.

A Long Way From Home (1) - Where is home?

I am learning that God brings you out of your comfort zone and safety net just to have you all to himself. Is it funny?, NOO. Is it Easy?, Not in the least. The longest part is when he is stripping you of you. Try compounding that with becoming a housewife in a new country after being in back to back employment for 10 years. A first time mom with a new child that is also trying to figure out this earth experience with you. There are days you will feel like you are trapped in your home, moving from bedroom to parlor, and back to the bedroom, pacifying a new baby, and looking for a pacifier yourself. Today was one of those days, I had really hoped that I could live a little through the stories of a workday but if wishes were horses.  Then after getting her royal highness to sleep, you have to struggle with a computer screen, at some point, you just drop everything and begin to look inwards. That's right after the filtering noises of a club playing music sounds like an old companion, ...

WAITING

I have been a mom for two months and I think my greatest challenge has been waiting. Waiting during the pregnancy period and wondering what the baby would look like,  what delivery will feel like,  will the things I bought be enough? Then the child comes and everything is meant to align to her timetable. Sleep when she is sleeping they say, do they remember Deborah has a work deliverable waiting on you? Sleep when she is sleeping they advise, that is except you are preparing their lunch, then you can stay awake, finish cooking, serve and clean the kitchen. Then there is the ministry of helps that you are not sure how to receive. They can only help you in their convenience which is kind of confusing because you do not really need the kind of help they are offering and the next thing you hear is "Use all the help you get" After some time, you get to a point where you are in a rhythm you don't know how it started but it doesn't reflect what you do and you are focused on ...
