OMGoodness, I can't believe that I'm writing my first blog post.
When the Lord told me on June 8th, 2023 that he wanted me to have a Christian Blog, I was a bit dumbfounded. Like, blogging? in 2023? It's so funny to say because I was an 11/12-year-old with a fashion blog in 2012. I know I was ahead of my time back then. It is truly nice to see all things work together for our good and to see that God gives us desires and sometimes we are a bit too early for them.
My walk really intensified with the Lord in January 2020, I was a sophomore in undergrad and had a friend who would do a weekly watch group of Transformation Church. The sermon was called Heart Check. I cried that night when I realized that I didn't trust God. That I truly didn't trust him or even know him.
From there I decided to go on a very interesting fasting journey. I had never biblically fasted before so I did what I thought was best. This is also the beginning of me incorporating fasting into my life for deliverance and breakthrough. My friend recently called it a 9 to 5 fast (still screaming). Simply because I would fast during the week and not on the weekends. I have no idea what made me do this, it was a very incorrect way to biblical fast but I did it. All while still going to Texas African ASA parties (like make it make sense ). I look back and see the hunger I had for God. I thank God for seeing my heart and my intention even though my execution was very, very, very wrong.
Despite me biblically fasting from my own understanding, the 21-day fast I did combine with a bible plan titled "Cultivating a Grateful Heart" really brought me closer to God. Journaling was a big thing for me that allowed me to write to Jesus without feeling like I was holding everything in. Journaling about my feelings towards the Lord, writing down prayers, and shedding tears all came together to help me grow in my walk. During that time I was reading the bible from cover to cover, ingesting more of the word and more of his spirit. I desired so much of the Word, to know Adonai and to love him.
That is why I decided to make a journal for my launch and create a 21-day challenge to cultivate a grateful heart. To grow with the Lord, to give him thanks, and fall deeper in love with Jesus. One Word at a Time.
I hope by now you've grabbed the FREE Journal and joined the challenge. Each day is different while some days are the same. There is a bonus of 10 days on there for you to continue to journal for a month.
Feel free to contact me, with any questions regarding this challenge.
Challenge starts SEPTEMBER 10TH AND ENDS SEPTEMBER 30TH
Currently, the Lord hasn't led me to start a discord group for this challenge. I pray that you can join and experience God's love in every area of your heart. Look out for emails or text messages to help encourage you every day.
