I've mentioned previously about my priorities shifting and entering a new season in my life...and might I add it's definitely a different season. I've built stronger bonds and relationships that only God could put together. One person in particular has been my most encouraging person. Whenever I need to vent, pray, cry, or laugh this person has been there for me. I love the fact that the relationship is mutually beneficial yet we both can learn from eachother. I truly thank God.
I recently have been in talks of my season and what God wants for me. I'm currently reading a dynamic book called "One in a Million: Journey to your promised land" by Priscella Shirer. It's eye opening and focusing on us as Christians wanting the abundant life that God has promised us. It's the journey of God's people leaving Egypt in search of Canaan. Egypt is described as dry and a place of bondage. Canaan is described as the abundant life we hope for. There was a question that came up as "What's your Egypt?" or should I say What is holding you back from receiving the abundant life that God promises you? Things that can hold us back are in the forms of bad relationships/friendships, job, finances,holding grudges,staying in your comfort zone, your faith etc. I know that there are a few items holding me back but as of this week, I let it all go...I'm ready for my abundant life!
I encourage you all to think about what is keeping you to remain in Egypt? What are some things or people you need to let go or add? I challenge you all today to start now...fast...pray and ask God what you need to do to have your abundant life?
Im thankful for my season and the people God has allowed to stay in it with me. My good relationship with that one person I spoke of earlier has enriched my life dearly...let's all try to have these type of deposits in our life.
