MY FAITH JOURNEY

-



 Hey fam, how have you been? Thank you for the love on my previous impromptu post. I'm really blessed to have you all in my space.  Thank you.


My faith journey is one of those that makes me really vulnerable and grateful at the same time. It's a journey of me being a child completely. It's a journey of complete trust. It's a journey of trusting my ears to pick heaven's words. It's a journey where I completely rely on the Holy Spirit to lead my heart. It's a journey of YES Lord, I trust you. It's a journey of complete brokenness. It's a journey of "Lord, even if I don't see you working, you never stop working".

As I write this, I'm still in awe of how far I've come. It's been a long stretching journey but worth it. The story that comes to mind is the story of Abraham, how God told him to leave his family, to a land he had no idea about, to a land where God would show him. He didn't have an idea of what and when and how, he just trusted God and His words. Today we are heirs of Abraham, enjoying the covenant be stepped into.

I've always been a church girl, I grew up going to church and church activities were norm to me. So I had begun my God journey since I was a teenager but my conscious journey with God started sometimes in 2018. I became so deliberate in my walk with God because I wanted more from life and I knew I couldn't deliver myself. I just had to completely surrender to my saviour to lead me on this path.  After this decision, I decided to always ask God about every step of my journey. 

My faith journey didn't start very clear but it started with my ability to hear God and trust what I heard and just obeyed. The more I obeyed, the more I trusted what I heard and I started to journal what I heard so I can check each time what I heard came to reality. Like I stated earlier, the journey didn't start clear but I believed the one who speaks to me. I remember that the anchor scripture I had all through 2018 was Psalms 34:5 "They looked to Him and were radiant; their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused"
Psalm 34:5 AMPC. I just knew God wouldn't shame me. So I trusted Him because my life depends on it. My result must be different. 

It's a journey of complete trust and little instructions here and there, for instance , send a text to this person and write this and this, so i would send a text and the response would be there's a meeting I would like you to attend, please call this number and when I get to such meetings, its always like, the meetings were organised for me. Sometimes it would be tell your cousin this and that and when I do, it would be what she needed to hear. It was a journey of so much trust and believe, after a while I started to hear instructions about my job, I would hear that I should take up certain task to do, by the time my boss walks out from management meeting and give me update, I would have done most of what was discussed in the meeting I didn't attend. I began to love the vibe of getting to know about things I wasn't thinking about. Then same thing happened with my church.

My faith journey is a journey of baby steps, it began with my everyday routine to major decisions like leaving my job, leaving my relationship, starting a business etc. And yes, it's still a journey of baby steps. I still trust him for my daily activities because He scripted all my life in His book. 

One secret to strengthen one's faith journey is reading and hearing stories of men and women who lived by faith. The Bible is a great place to start. From Genesis to Revelation, we would see how men and women of old walked in faith. Hebrews 11 gives a detailed documentary of men and women of faith.

Our journey in life would only be easy and stress free if we trust God enough with our life and that can only happen with Faith. The journey of faith is the road less stupid. You don't have to try everything to get it. Just trust the one who has your life scripted in his book.  Be quick to listen and do. The blessing and reward is in the doing. 

I look forward to hearing your own faith journey. Till I write to you again.

All my love.

Tolulope.

...HE LEFT ME...

He left me… yeah, you heard right, do I wish he never left? Yes, every time. He left me not because he didn’t love me enough, in fact, he loved me sincerely. He left me because he had no choice himself, I’m sure he fought hard to stay but then he had to surrender, he had to move to a better place called eternity. I’m just left with sweet memories of how he loved and how he cracks me up with his teases and handsome smiles with beautiful dimples. Gooosh …. I miss him so much. I met him sometimes around 2012, he was the best friend to my boyfriend at that time. He was really handsome, he had one of the brightest smiles and dimples I've seen. I saw the realness in his friendship with his friend, I saw his desire and hunger to succeed in life, I could perceive his quest for purity each time we have sincere conversations, he was super friendly with me, maybe because I was his friend's babe, but he always gave me attention and he would whine me a lot till I tear up from laughing s

GOD CAN BE TRUSTED!!!

  Hello fam, I know it's been like forever but I just needed to put this out here, I can't keep it to myself.  I know I've written something similar to this before, but this experience is different. I've tried to give it another title but no other title can do justice other than God can be Trusted.  Sometimes in 2020, when I felt led to resign my job to start Adire(I've shared the story on my blog) I didn't argue but I wasn't so sure how it was all going to turn out but I trusted the voice I heard, some months after, I had my afternoon nap which is so unlike me, I woke up and I heard in this season call me ADUNBARIN (God is sweet to walk with). I held unto that name like I knew no other name, I used it to pray, used it on my status, it soon became my mantra.  Months after I got ADUNBARIN, things became very tough, I was broke, I didn't know how to go about the Adire Business, I had never done it before, didn't know whether to go into casuals, fabrics

I GOT PROPOSED TO ; AND I SAID YES

  Fam, aren't you all amazing? Thank you for all the love, feedbacks and comments on my previous post, I was really elated to read from you all. Thank you for your support and love, it is the fuel that keeps me going. My proposal came not as a surprise, at the same time it was not something I prepared for. I knew something was coming but I couldn't place it, I knew something would hit me that would change my life and cause a rapid shift to my becoming, but I didn't know how or when. In my last post, I mentioned how I started the year clueless without having an idea about how the year would unfold, I was just sure I had God and I knew He would definitely order my steps, I was certain I can't miss it anymore at this phase of my life. So, after I said my goodbyes, I knew it was time for me to embrace the new me knocking at the door of my becoming. I knew I was to accept the invitation, but I also felt I needed certain level of preparation to accept the invitation. One fate
