THE MONTH OF OCTOBER WAS A GREAT
MONTH. I DID A LOT OF GROWING AND JUST
LEARNING ABOUT GOD’S WORD. OUR GOD IS
AMAZING AND I AM SO BLESSED TO BE HERE.
I KNOW I KEEP SAYING THAT, BUT IT IS THE TRUTH, GOD HAS SENT ME HERE TO
HELP THIS YOUNG MAN IN SCHOOL AND EVEN WITH THAT TO GROW IN THE LIKENESS OF
CHRIST. I WANT TO BE THAT WOMAN OF GOD
AND I AM STRIVING TO BE THAT. GOD HAS
CALLED US TO BE SERVANTS OF HIM AND TO BE DISCIPLES OF HIM. I HAVE BEEN READING THIS BOOK CALLED, ‘WOMAN
AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART’ AND IT HAS REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO SEE HOW A GODLY
WOMAN ACTS, PREPARES, TO BE A GODLY WIFE, A GODLY MOTHER, AND HOW TO EXAMINE
YOURSELF TO SEE IF YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PATHS OF BEING A GODLY WOMAN. SOMETIMES I THINK THAT I FAIL, BUT GOD LIFTS
ME UP AND HE PUSHES ME FORWARD TO BE THE WOMAN THAT HE WANTS ME TO BE. IN PROVERBS 31, IT DESCRIBES HOW A WOMAN OF
GOD IS. BY READING THIS IT REMINDS ME TO
BE THAT WOMAN IN PROVERBS 31. READ IT
WOMEN IT IS A GREAT CHAPTER IN PROVERBS AND IT IS GREAT TO KNOW FOR THE FUTURE
IF YOU ARE SINGLE. EVEN THIS BOOK I AM
READING AND ALMOST DONE WITH BY THE WAY IS A GREAT WAY FOR YOUNG CHRISTIAN
SINGLE WOMEN TO REFLECT ON. IT TELLS YOU
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DO TO BE THAT WOMAN OF GOD THAT GOD WANTS US ALL TO
BE.
I HAVE EXAMINE MY HEART SO MANY
TIMES AND I THINK I HAVE BEEN GROWING STRONGER THAN OVER IN MY FAITH IN JESUS
CHRIST. BEING HERE IS A BLESSING TO BE
SURROUNDED AROUND PEOPLE THAT ARE SO IN LOVE WITH THE LORD AND THAT ARE GREAT
EXAMPLES AS WELL TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE. MY
BIBLE STUDY FOR EXAMPLE IS A GREAT ONE!
WE ARE TEACHING IN THE BOOK OF ROMANS AND I HAVE BEEN REFLECTING ON WHAT
PASTOR ANDREW HAVE BEEN TEACHING IN AND UNDERSTANDING IT THE GREATEST THING I
HAVE DONE. RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN CHAPTER
13, TALKING ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT AND HOW WE SHOULD AS CHRISTIANS OBEY THE
LEADERS NO MATTER WHAT. IT IS GOD’S PLAN
TO PUT THEM IN OFFICE AND TO MAKE SOME OF THESE LAWS COME IN PLAY AND IT IS OUR
JOB TO JUST FOLLOW CHRIST AND TO OBEY WHAT HE SAYS. IT TELLS US TO EXAMINE OUR HEARTS AND MINDS,
AND TO PLEASE THE LORD IN EVERY WAY WE CAN.
HE GAVE US QUESTIONS THAT ARE HELPFUL AND JUST GREAT TO EVEN LOOK AT AND
REFLECT ON. SUBMISSION COMES FROM
GENESIS- A MAN SHOULD SUBMIT TO GOD’S ORDERS (EXODUS) ISSUES WITH THE LAW. MAN SHOULD SUBMIT TO A HUMAN AUTHORITIES.
MATTHEW 22:17-22.
NOW I HAVE BEEN PARTICIPATING IN
JR. YOUTH AND SR. YOUTH BIBLE STUDIES AS A LEADER. I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT AND I AM GROWING A
LOT WHILE I AM SERVING GOD IN THIS WAY.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE I AM INVOLVED WITH TO, THEY ARE ALL REALLY
GREAT SERVANTS TO THE LORD AND GREAT EXAMPLES TO THE YOUNGER YOUTHS. THIS IS SOMETHING I WANT TO LOOK AT WHEN EVER
I LEAVE TO SAY I WAS IMPACTING IN SOMEONES LIFE AND HELPED THEM WITH THEIR
WALK. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE
INVOLVED WITH THE CHURCH AS WELL AND BE IMPACTED BY OLDER WOMAN AND SEE HOW
THEY ARE LIKE. I GOT TO KNOW SO MANY
WOMEN SUCH AS; CAROL BEAKLEY, ALICIA RALEY, LYDIA JANSEN VAN VUUREN, DEBBIE
CRAWFORD, GENA MULLEN, SANTI, SHARYN VAUGHN, DORKAS I., AND OTHERS THAT I
CANNOT THINK OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD BUT THEY HAVE HELPED ME A LOT SINCE I HAVE
BEEN HERE. I HAVE BEEN SINGING IN THE
WORSHIP TEAM AND THAT IS SOMETHING THE GOD HAS LET ME USE TO PRAISE HIM AND
SERVE HIM AS WELL. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR
THE CHRIST BAPTIST CHURCH FOR LETTING ME DO THIS. I HAVE BEEN SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT I HAVE
REALLY GROWN CONNECTED TO; PATIENCE, ABBEY, BRITT, LUKE, STEPHEN, RIANA,
MARZELLE, DORKAS, AND MEMBER (MY OLDER BROTHER SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE, EVEN
IN MOZAMBIQUE)!
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE
THESE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE AND GLAD TO BE GROWING AROUND THEM. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THEM SO FAR AND I
AM THRILLED TO KNOW MORE AND MORE ABOUT THEM UNTIL I LEAVE. SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR SINCE
THE MIDDLE OF MAY, I HAVE FOUND MYSELF LOVING SOUTH AFRICA, POLOKWANE. IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO LEAVE AND TO BE PART
OF THE FAMILY PERMANENTLY. BUT THAT IS
ALL IN GOD’S HANDS IF HE WANTS ME TO STAY HERE.
I HONOR GOD IN ANYTHING HE PRESENTS TO ME AND GIVES ME. HE HAS TREMENDOUSLY CHANGED MY LIFE 180
DEGREES FROM WHAT I WAS USE TO BE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR GOD FOR SAVING ME FROM
WHAT WAS GOING ON AND JUST ALWAYS IN REMIND FROM ALICIA THAT THE PAST IS THE
PAST AND I NEED TO MOVE FORWARD TO GOD.
I HAVE HAD MY UPS AND DOWNS SO FAR, BUT GOD HAS HELPED ME WITH IT
ALL. GOD HAS PREPARED ME TO BE THE WOMAN
OF GOD AND I AM WILLING TO CONTINUE AND PRAY TO SEE IF THIS IS WHERE GOD WOULD
WANT ME TO BE. THANK YOU.
