Jeremiah 29:11 I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.(the message translation)
Here goes everything:
Questioning my existence...."Really GOD? YOU give me this name, this body, this life and leave me to figure out what? That people are cruel to me because I am not pretty...that this name I've been given is unusual and people think a ugly name for an ugly girl....that the parents you gave me couldn't be rich so I could be in the in crowd.......GOD WHY DID YOU MAKE ME LIKE THIS?"
Yea I know people had/have bigger problems, but remember this is my journey and those problems were big to me as a little girl. You know how I know because as this little girl grows into a woman, she still wrestled with the same problems. Keep walking with me and you will see that if problems are not addressed, I don't care how much JESUS you think you have in you, your past problems can and will hold you bound from understanding that JESUS LIVES IN YOU AND THAT HE HAS CONQUERED ALL YOUR FEARS AND DOUBTS In The Mist Of It All!!
I, Jamita, took it upon myself at a young age to seek out the meaning of my name. Uhhhh can someone say TO NO AVAIL!!! Not a meaning....oh come on....No destiny? No origin? I felt lower that day than I had ever felt in my life. Mind you, there was no computer in the home. Which meant, I had me a few baby books and even looked through encyclopedias(don't laugh...some of us do know what those are). I searched, but found nothing. Oh did I cry & oh so heart broken(This was the day my first brick was laid for the wall that was about to be built in my young life.) My heart weeps...take me GOD...YOU alone understands this person YOU'VE created...singing JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO...oh but this little girl named Jamita couldn't feel HIS love right then...just let me not wake in the morning
Question Have you ever asked GOD to take you home before your life was complete?
Take 3 tomorrow
I haven't asked him to... But I have told him I was ready.
ReplyDeleteAnd on a couple very dark occasions, I wondered if I should go on....
His answer to me, and to you, is a resounding YES!
I'm glad you're here!
Jeanne I'm so glad your here too. The work is done and when we get weak we can lean on each other. Love you lady
DeleteAs I pour out my heart & become transparent to those who know this strong GODFEARING woman, I am in a place of wanting to not share....BUT because I'm not my own anymore, I will be obedient to MY DADDY!!! SN today I've been under attack, because GOD has told me many will be saved, delivered and set free from my journey and the enemy wants me to be discouraged...NO FEAR THIS YEAR...I'm pressing on!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for not being afraid to pour your soul out for HIM!!!! Dear Lord, I pray for my sister Jamita right now, and Praise You for the bond that was formed between us so many years ago. Thank you for using her in this way. I pray for her strength that only YOU can give her. In Jesus sweet name, AMEN.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, to GOD be the glory for the things HE has done. I appreciate your support and prayers...I'm so humbled!!
