I'm so glad/ My LOVE Journey

How long has it been?

If i could just testify for a moment. I got my grades on Friday and can i just say that God is good. I can't believe that I've made it through my 3rd year of University already. Lord you've been good!

It's been a while since i wrote in cyber space..well I've had a few technical hitches and all the rest of it but its great to be back.

Words are progressive. Everyday i see new meaning in what i say, what i read, truth and in the ultimate WORD. If that isn't a reason to enjoy life then i honestly don't know what is.

As I'm thinking right now of what i would like to grace my digestive system with this evening, i just need to remind myself about the reason why i agreed to take this journey with Jesus 10 years ago.

This journey is hard and that's the truth. It has come with many days of isolation/alienation/intimidation because of what i believed in and who i was walking with. I have struggled to find my identity/femininity/Christianity because of all the rigid and miserable representation i have seen....BUT

I am growing to experience a LOVE that illuminates my mind to the fact that i am precious and treasured.
LOVE that encourages me to do my best and not only that but opens my eyes to impossibilities and makes them possibilities.
LOVE that allows me not to be the introvert, dressed-down-to-hide-herself, people-conscious, self-conscious girl.
LOVE that seeks to fill in major love voids that i have, that seeks to give me a new definition of who a father is and teaches me to let go of my hurts and disappointments of my absent father. LOVE that speaks to me in the softest and firmest of tones guiding and directing me to g'head and reach my goals.
LOVE that promises to inspire and initiate friendships, relationships that will leave me stunned, inspired, leading me to climb still higher and higher
LOVE that understands my deepest needs and wants to counsel me so i can realise the issues that lie undiscovered in the deepest parts of my heart
LOVE that just is...was...and will be forever,

And even as i write this i am convinced that this is the best journey that i ever decided to make. I'm still walking, sometimes i need to change my shoes,

dress some wounds,

eat some food,

take in the scenery,

run,

sidestep some ditches, 

times when i need to be carried, 

hurried, 

given pep talks just to keep on going...

But that's the journey, it's a different scene everyday. Occasionally when i do look back at where we are together on this journey, i can't believe that my legs managed to come this far. I'm glad you are always one step ahead, one step behind, one step beside, all around.

I LOVE YOU for inviting me on this journey.

As the songs says:

'Falling in love with Jesus...is the best thing I've ever ever done
In His arms i feel protected...there's no place I'd rather be!'
