FOLLOW THE ARK



Hi guys! Happy New Year! (Coming a bit late, I know) But I've gotten into the habit of not doing things, just because. 

This month, I struggled to know what to write on this blog. I had a few ideas, scribbled them on paper, and was already writing on one, which was motivational/goal-smashing in style, when I was held back. 

Apparently, God had other plans. 

You see, motivation is good, but if you're headed in the wrong direction, it's the worst thing that can happen to you...

So what does God want you to know, that He had to scrap my own writing plans?

FOLLOW THE ARK.

If you're familiar with the book of Joshua, you'd know that the Ark was a symbol of God's very Presence. Joshua told the Israelites before getting to the promised land (Jericho) that all they had to do was just go after it. 

It was what would get them to the promise of God. Joshua even had to add that they better follow the Ark because they had not passed that route before. Everything was new, and possibly confusing or frightening.

 The consolation was that if their eyes were fixed on the ark and they moved with it as the priests carried it, they'd get to their promise safely.

What has God promised you? He wants to give it to you more than you know, but you can't get to it when you're the one calling the shots. You can only get to His blessings on His terms! 

Luckily, His terms haven't changed at all. They're the same as all those years ago: FOLLOW THE ARK (Presence of God)

This isn't just about praying and studying the Word as usual. It's about doing those and being sensitive to God's directions at the same time. It's about staying alert about your own journey.

You must invest in learning to hear God's voice, how He speaks to you. 

I've gotta warn you though; the distractions are a lot. It'll cost you time and comfort to stay close to God, to stay prayed up, to study Scriptures. But for your sake, I hope you pay the price.  

No, following the ark 'is not beans', but you'd be grateful you did by December 2023. 


Remember, God LOVES you and wants to LEAD you.

Give Him a chance. 

A thousand times over

Blessings❤️

✨

A FAT SLIM GIRL.

Image
                     (Image from Yoga matters) A FAT SLIM GIRL. She saw fat everywhere. It was in her face, in her neck, in her arms, in her stomach, in her thighs, in her legs. It was within and without her. Nobody saw her as fat. It was her mind, the mind she allowed social media to influence, that told her she was fat. It was the way she looked at herself in the mirror that got her upset about her weight. It was her low self-esteem and lack of confidence in herself that informed her change of behaviour. It was her lack of self love that led to her ruin. She was a healthy weight of a hundred and twenty pounds at age seventeen. She was healthy. She was okay. But she didn't see it like that. Her mind had been distorted by what she saw. It was not always like that. There once was a time when she was in love with her body. When she considering herself lucky to be 'full' in areas that mattered. When she had no fears or insecurities about her weight and the way she looke

We're Moving!

  Special one, we're moving ! Yessss A couple of days ago I finally bought into God's idea of expanding and stretching the curtains of my blogging journey. And yes, I admit I struggled with it for a while because it felt a little bit scary.  Actually, scratch that. It was very scary.  I didn't think I was ready and certainly didn't feel like making some commitments it would require from me. But I've learnt that when God says move, you better move! So whether I feel like I'm ready or not, this is me announcing to you that I would no longer be posting on the Godly Teens blog. We're moving to a new site, which would be the home of amazing and relatable blog posts from here on out.  I call it Purple Streaks. (Maybe I would write about how that name came about. *wink*) But before we head on over to the new site, I want to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU for being such loyal readers to my posts thus far. For commenting and sharing my posts. For critiquing my works and ad

THAT LIGHT CALLED HOPE

Image
"Hope is a flame that needs to be protected; it is the oxygen our dreams need to stay alive." -Eunice Obidi. Right now on this harmattan morning, as I write this blogpost, there are four items on the table before me: an empty glass, which held a steaming cup of Milo about four minutes ago; a red plastic plate with cake crumbs and clumps of abandoned icing sugar; a new notebook, it's pages smooth and crisp, waiting to be filled with everything bubbling in my heart; and an old notebook already filled cover to cover with different colors of ink. The old notebook, although wrinkled and the page edges folded up, is opened to a page titled "GOALSSS!" The writing is almost hard to read because it was written in red ink and is already smudging... But because I was the one who wrote it, it appears as clear to me as the day I wrote it on the third of January 2022.  As I read from line to line, page to page, I see the things I promised myself and God when this year started
