So before I started making an attempt to live wholeheartedly for my Heavenly Father. I would definitely have placed myself in the thirsty category. I was thirsty for likes, attention, accomplishments, and titles. I began to share meaningless post on social media because I was seeking validation from a crowd of followers who probably didn’t even care what I was posting. I would only go to social events for attention, who doesn’t love receiving compliment after compliment? See I’m about to be 25 years old, and I’ve never had an alcoholic drink or smoked ANYTHING ( too many things to name ) I enjoyed a night out where I was only being judged for not having a drink in my hand. I would post every accomplishment on social media because I felt it was important to showcase all the good stuff. I wanted someone to be proud of me for something, so I felt it was necessary to share.  Titles used to be a pretty BIG deal for me too, especially “girlfriend”. 😂😂 I believe I had watched the movie titled ‘The Notebook’ so many times that I was purposely making sure that I was in position to fall in love with a handsome guy to create the perfect love story. Funny part to my love story is that after 6 boyfriends, I was just wasting time. Oh the heartbreak of wasting precious time!!!  Those young men were never going to be my husband and I can’t fault myself now for being naive, but I can make better decisions going forward when it comes to dating. For now I’ll stay single, unless the Lord has other plans 👀

You see God is intentional with his plans for your life, which is why everyone won’t understand why you choose to not partake in the things that you used to enjoy doing so much. The man upstairs is so intentional about every phase of your spiritual walk, so the more effort you put going forward will eventually make old habits a thing of the past because you now fully understand whose you are. Don’t get discouraged, God is still working on your behalf and will introduce to others who share common interest with you. 

So I’ve had a few family and friends ask why the change of lifestyle at age 24? Now I didn’t write this to explain anything to anyone, but I wrote this to help someone who is walking back and forth on living for the world vs. living for God. 

When I realized that all this time I was just unaware of my full potential because I had forgotten whose I was. I’m a child of a God and he should’ve had me at “In the Beginning”

In the beginning, it was God who created every inch of me in my mothers’ womb. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:13-14

In the beginning, it was God who desired to use me for his good work.                           2 Timothy 2:21 

In the beginning, it was God who had a specific plan for my life. Philippians 4:6

In the beginning, it was God who placed a call/assignment on my life. Galatians 6:9

In the beginning, it was God who I needed to depend on solely. 2 Corinthians 9:8

In the beginning, it was God who would take care of me. Isaiah 46:4

I end with this: In the beginning, it was God trying to keep me humble and in my lane. “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and do that you will not be dependent on anybody.” 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Until next time, you just stay encouraged and know that God is the answer to all of your problems. Dig in the word of God, you’ll find peace, examples of love, and walk away with a newfound sense of happiness. 😉
