What do you mean “no”?
Hey guys! Just wanted to do a quick little snippet of my spiritual journey right quick!
From the applying to the world race to now, almost one month into the race, i have truthfully experienced the goodness of God. He walked and talked with me during fundraising. He strengthened me to pack my bag and leave home. He sat with me on the airplane when I was scared. He reveals himself in ministry, everyday. But what He never did until recently was tell me “no”. The first “no” He gave me was confusing. I was like okay God, you know I’m spoiled rotten, and I have no idea what the word “no” means. So I kept praying about it, but still, He told me “no”. I shook it off, but I was obedient and listened to the “no”. The second time was a little bit harder. It was something I really wanted, but God said “no”. The third time was when I wanted to do something that I truly believed would have been great and fruitful, but go ahead, guess what God said! “No”. This many “no”’s are hard to accept. Especially when you feel like it’s the right thing to do and God is like nah fam, we are not about to do that. It’s rough. It’s confusing. It’s frustrating. BUT there is still goodness in God’s “no”. Faith brought me here and faith will lead me to the next step. I just have to raise a hallelujah louder than the unbelief.
