Where Feet May Fail

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You call me out upon the waters, the great unknown where feet may fail. And there I find you in the mystery in oceans deep, my faith will stand”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the beginning to Oceans a song by Hillsong, which speaks so much depth. As Christians, we’ve been called to live a life that will have us in oceans deep where our feet alone will completely fail. But we have another pair of feet that will never ever fail us. FAITH! We can stand and walk on the ocean with faith. Matthew 14:25-33 tells the story of Jesus beckoning Peter to come out towards him on the water. As Peter stepped on the ocean and had his eyes fixed on Jesus, he walked without sinking. As soon as he looked and saw how the water was rushing around him and realized he was actually walking on water, he began to sink. Whenever we have our focus locked on Christ, our worries and troubles of this life will not subdue us. The water will be turbulent but we will still be walking. Our focus on Jesus exercises our faith because we choose to believe in the unseen Jesus rather than the trouble we are dealing with. The moment we focus on our circumstances, we begin to panic and that leads to sinking. Then we try to fix things on our own which ends up draining us, making our feet wobbly and depleting our faith.

The latter part of the song says “Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters wherever you would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my savior”

As you continue to keep your eyes on Christ, your faith is being made stronger and you move towards the deeper parts of the ocean without realizing it. So next time when God calls you over in 2000ft deep, you will just go because your trust in Him has no boundaries! I understand the difficulty in trusting God when there are no signs of victory around. I understand because I’m the queen of worrying…or I used to be. But I also know that I ought to cast all my cares on Him because He cares [1 peter 5:7] and that worrying is not going to be of any benefit to me [Matthew 6:25-32] so really, my only option is to focus on Christ and that’s what iChoose! And to be honest, you realize how light and peaceful that feels. It doesn’t mean you pretend your troubles aren’t there, you just choose to focus your attention wisely. So I encourage you all today to stand and walk with your second pair of feet and see what the Lord accomplishes in your life. You will be blown away. That’s the kind of God He is. The mind-blowing God! Stay blessed!

XOXO

Outside Of Outside The Box

We all know very well the scripture in which Paul refers to God as “the God who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ever ask or imagine” Ephesians 3:20. But do we really see God that way and if we do, does our faith see him that way also? I’m the type of person who likes to think way ahead of myself. Whenever I pray to God in regards to something, I always think about how God is going to answer; “OMG He’s gonna do this and make this that way and this way. It’s going to be super cool” but then God is like “What? You think this shabby way is cool? Come on Jennifer, that’s so lame”. So while I’m here thinking my way of expecting God to come through for me is genius, He’s like nah child your mind can never fathom my ways. We often hear people telling us to think outside the box when we’re doing something or going into a new venture. Well for my God, He thinks outside of outside the box. 

While I was pondering over this, God took me to 1 kings 18:20-40. The Israelites had an interesting relationship with God. One minute they’re in love with Him, the next minute they’re lifting up the name of an idol. So Elijah, Gods prophet at the time came up to king Ahab and was basically like you Israelites have been at this for too long so lets settle it now. Your prophets should set up an altar and offer a burnt offering to your god Baal and let your god be the one to set the fire on the altar. And I will do the same and call on Yaweh who answereth by fire, then we will know who the real God is. 
I would like to point out a few things here:

1.     There were 450 prophets of Baal but there was only 1 prophet of God, Elijah.

2.     The prophets of Baal called upon him from morning till evening, hobbling around, dancing, slashing and cutting themselves to bleeding point and yet, no answer. Elijah literally took less than a minute and God responded.

Now the whole purpose of this “competition” was for their gods to send fire down and burn the offering. Just that! Baal flaked! BUT OUR GOD didn’t only show up, He SHOWED OUT! He burned the offering, burned the wood (which was completely wet by the way. We all know wet wood will never light up), he dried up all the water in the trench, burned the stones and burned the soil also! Immediately, the Israelites declared that God is indeed Yaweh. 

So if you are expecting God to do something in your life, please take the limitations off Him. I’ve learned to let God be Him and not try to limit Him with my thinking. He’s blown my mind so many times that I know better now. Its my prayer and desire that whoever reads this will learn to trust and believe that God will show out in their lives. Never give up praying and never give up hope in Him because He’s working something for you. God bless you and remember, He loves you so so much!

XOXO

Welcome.Akwaaba.Bienvenu

Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer Annor (Jennifer Darlington when i wrote this post) and this is my first post on my first and only blog. I'm really excited about this. The reason for this first post is to shed light on why i'm making this blog and what i intend to gain out of it.

The idea first came to me this tuesday (September 16th 2014) while i was writing down some thoughts in one of the computer labs at school. I attend George Mason University by the way. I'm in my final year of pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. 
Sometime last week, a drastic change happened in my life which caused me to be more in love with God than i've ever been. I think i'm obsessed with Him and i LOVE IT! Since then, I've been literally thirsting and starving for more of Him and less of me. He drops things in my heart that blow my mind and while i was writing down one of them, i thought, why don't i start a blog? And here i am, listening to the voice inside my head and heart.

My goal is to share what God shares with me and leads me to share. I am in no way a bible school student, neither am i a pastor or anything like that. I'm simply a young woman who adores God so much and wants to share with everyone some knowledge He gives me. This will also be for my own benefit because i can always re-read what i post so i won't forget the message myself.

I'm not the best writer i know. I've never liked english classes for the sole purpose of essays and paper writing thats why i took the scientific route in school lol. In conclusion, i want everyone who reads this to enjoy it, be inspired by it and be drawn to God most importantly. Thank you and God bless you all for the support!


XOXO

About Me

I am a young woman currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry and hope to become a pharmacist. As a saved christian, my desire and passion to live hard for God drives my life. I strive to show Him through my daily life and so i do as he leads me. My calling as a child of God is music and i am highly passionate about it hence, the very interesting faces i make when singing. I am a complete worshipper who desires to get lost in Gods glory and presence daily. My goal for this blog is to spread the love of Christ that i experience in my own personal life and in that of others. I am in no way a perfect human being but simply trying to be obedient to my creator and lover of my soul. 

I am married to an amazing gentleman i've known for a loooong time and its been an amazing journey so far. I strongly believe he's Gods best for me and i'm excited to do life and ministry side by side with him. 

Also, i own a small business called J~Darling Creations where i design female and male accessories with mostly but not limited to West African wax prints. Find the link to my online store on the tab above labeled "Store". 

I hope to interact will all who read my blog and also share their thoughts.

XOXO,

Jennifer Darlington
