Soul Food, My Walk With God

Soul Food, My Walk With God

Bo.n-da.g-e & Strongholds

The other night I was talking to a good friend of mine (and these days I don't use the term friend loosely) and some kinda way we got to talking about things that have happened in the past.

I was telling her, I was a heathen. Seriously.

Anyway, we were talking and when I talk about certain things concering my past, I do NOT tell all UNLESS I KNOW God has let me know, hey…it's ok, go ahead and say it.

I normally only give my testimony (because that's what it is) when God is leading me to do so. Normally, I see someone going down that same path and I try to help them NOT mess up. We are supposed to learn from the mistakes of others right? Right.

Well, we were talking and I didn't realize that this had been a FIVE hour conversation until the next day when she said something lol. Oops! lol

But she said something that made me stop and think.

She said, "That was the most important conversation of my year". I'm like O_O why in the world would you think that? It's just my past. Just the things God has brought me through.  She said it was an extremely strong testament to God's bondage and yoke breaking power.

I thought about that for a LONG time.

I was DEEP UP OFF IN Bo.N.D-ag,e like seriously.

I didn't realize it until WAY after I got out, what it actually was.

IMO when you don't live your life according to God's will, you will end up in ALL kinds of mess.

Doing and saying stuff you would SWEAR you would never do or say.

If you are in something that you KNOW is wrong, that you KNOW you shouldn't be in, pray that God will bring you out.

I was miserable and didn't even know it.

I thought I was living the life. Couldn't tell me NOTHING lol. I thought I was doing something. I thought I was happy.

 

NOT.

 

I didn't know what happiness was until I was DELIVERED and set free from MY chains. From the things that had ME bound.

I am happy now and I have JOY. I have peace sometimes that I don't even understand. When things are just not going great AT ALL, when EVERYTHING happens at the SAME time…I have peace. I have joy and I'm STILL thanking God. The bible says somewhere to count it ALL joy (I think it's in James 1). That means give thanks in EVERYTHING. The good and the not so good.

I've learned to be thankful in EVERYTHING. God has a reason for everything and He knows MUCh better than me so I thank Him for it!

Ok, this wasn't meant to be a bible study or a sermon. Just wanted to share that with you guys lol.

I'm not perfect, just striving to be the woman God wants me to be. Keeping my life lined up with the WORD!

**anytime I have something on my heart, I kinda just type it out, it's GREAT therapy.  I have SO many of these stored up. I'm going to try and post one every Sunday lol.**
