Some 28 plus years ago, this girl here (moi) knew that God would use her in a special way, but I was clueless as to when where and how. Being brought up in church (basically opening, closing, and everything in between) that was my life! But after the birth of my daughter at the age 17, life changed and the chain of events that have happened in my life were not all too pretty.
When would things change? When would I find myself on the road to "ah, this is the life or life can't get any better than this?" Confused by what I had gone through (both self inflicted and infliction to the highest degree by others), I was determined to figure out what my life was all about. Pretty sad, that at 30 years old, I hadn't found the road I was looking for. At 47, I can finally see clearly, but I had questions out the whazoo! Knowing, but not knowing, wondering, but yet realizing that all things work together and are working together for my good.
After traveling to India a couple of years ago, the name of the Ministry I would one day open for Him was revealed. Jer-Ne Ministries to be exact. Once I came up with the name, I thought I was on a role. I had everything planned out. That's what soon to be entrepreneurs do right? Have you ever had to come to a sudden stop and hear your tires screech uncontrollably? This is exactly what the Lord did to and for me. Yep, I said to and for me. Sometimes "WE" can get on a role with doing things and the timing, our timing is just what it is...."our timing." He knew that I had a whole lot of work that needed to be done. And that is exactly what I have been doing...getting worked on.
Our Heavenly Father is so gracious towards us. He knows best! He knows when we are ready. It's funny how we try and help God out all the time. It's not until we relinquish all rights in our lives, that He is able to take us and change us for the good. One word that comes to mind is AWESOME!!!!! I personally thank Him for the grace that He extends to me everyday.
Even though I had several questions lingering and was very discontent, or what I thought was discontentment, He was burning off everything that wasn't like Him. Refining so to say. Where I was confused and didn't understand, a blanket of peace fell over me as if someone was literally standing over me with a blanket and told me that all I had to do was lay there and trust Him to cover me.
Expect the impossible that Jesus can do in, through and for you. It's the most amazing feeling ever. Our flesh has a hard time dealing with certain situations, but if our minds are renewed, rest assured you will come out on the other side smiling and more joyful than ever. It will be as if the good happening in your life is a dream. Because of your faithfulness to Him and the task at hand, thank Him and continue to do what you know to do.
All I can say is thank you Father! His timing is perfect and so is His will! All we have to do is keep believing!
Blessings,
Kiwanya
