Be patient and have faith

This week has just been absolutely awesome! Just feeling so happy & joyful everyday especially on Wednesday. Its been about take delight in everything! Also prayer has been the main reason for the joy this week. Its also been really tough just sit and be still in ado too. But its something that god has said that its all part of my formation this year. So for this week it was all great and joy but on Friday, I was really great joy in the morning but then in the afternoon I was feeling a little empty. Then when I went ado in the evening, I was praying and god said that this journey you are on with me is not only about feeling joy but to also have faith and trust in me. For when someone starts to question my faith in the lord, I can firmly be on the ground and proclaim with real conviction that the lord is real and he is not only a god who'll give you joy but he'll give you faith too.

But I think that god's way of working within us is really amazing. Cause on Friday morning, I started really the book of acts from the bible and then, I felt once again so proud to be a follower of Jesus! For in acts, all the followers of Jesus were so strong in their faith and proclaiming of lord not because of the feelings they felt but it was actually that in their true faith in the lord.
For example, Peter and Paul were people who just went around the town fearlessly talking about the wonders of god. Then I started to break down in tear a little cause of the fact that I felt so unworthy to be called by god but then again I was reaffirmed by this message, "He has not called the qualified but he qualifies the called".

Then after that I just praised god for the reassurance that he really is here!
