SEEK HIS WILL IN ALL YOU DO AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATHS (Proverbs 3:6)
A Princess April 12, 2006

I am just A Princess trying to do my Father's Will.

My journey thus far has presented me with loss in many forms. I have struggled finding answers and still through it all there was no time to stop and rest or feel sorry for self. Somehow, there's always someone who could benefit from the lessons I have learned even while I'm going through the test.

I'm here in cyber space as witness that God is REAL and to testify that what He ordains, He will maintain. Depression could not hold me down, the world couldn't offer me a cure for what was missing was a deep longingness. I went to church and did all the rituals but my soul wasn't satisfied -- I longed to walk with the Lord, to find time to commune with Him and the moment I realised that, the preparation began. My understanding is limited as to where this will lead but I am totally submitted to the work of Him who saved me.

I listened to a sermon two years ago by Pastor Geoffrey Rumble (Olivet [Deptford] Baptist Church, South East London) which got me out of my comfort zone. The question he left me pondering is: "Are you saved and comfortable? or Are you Saved to serve?"

I have been going through some stuff in my life that I couldn't understand. I paddled my way through, not always seeking God's direction which often left me feeling despondent. I started to ask God questions. Then something frightening happened to me - It felt as if I died but that was nothing, compared to what was about to happen. I faced my worst nightmare - it needed me to be forgiving. It was then I understood the numbness I felt prior to the events unfolding. I believe 'flesh' died that night and I became all that God wanted me to be, in order to handle the situation now placed before me.

God was in control - I had made Him central focus of my life and He started a work in me. I received strength to face each obstacle and it didn't seem like I was fighting a battle.

Had self not taken a leave for that period in my life Write 2 Shine would not be in existence today. Now I realise that all the struggles I have been going through is just a process that God was and is taking me through and as long as I acknowledge Him and place Him above all else, He will direct my path (Proverbs 3:6).

Prayer is one of the keys to my survival, being obedient is another. So, at this moment I shall take the opportunity to request prayer from all saints who pass this way. Pray that Write 2 Shine will continue to be used as an instrument for our Maker and Saviour. Pray that through the words used to create the various material, fellow believers will be encouraged to move away from the comfort zones of their church pews and begin to serve the Lord in fullness and in truth.

Thank you for visiting W2S. I hope that your heart has been blessed and that you'll continue your journey in a positive way - infecting all those on your path, with positive energy.
