I can say this is one of the best years of my entire life. I have learned to trust and depend on God entirely for every aspect of my life from health to finances, education to business, relationship, even little things as simple as misplacing something at the crib. I have begun practicing some of those things that I have only known in theory.
I have also discovered that faith and fear are fanned through the same means. For example, when you continually bombard yourself with the word, listen to tapes, testimonies about what God does in the life of people, your faith grows and you can learn to begin to trust God. On the other hand, if you continually listen to things that create fear in people, trying to figure things out on your own, always skeptical about things, your faith level depreciates and goes down. It’s a daily to process. You must constantly gauge your faith level. I do maintain a journal where I write in records of answered prayers. Not only does it help one’s faith level to increase and believe God for more, it also takes one’s eyes of their problems and rather focusing on God and to be thankful. The best part is that you don’t need a big faith to start, just like the word says, ‘a mustard seed like faith will move a mountain’ (the tip of your finger by the way can scoop up hundreds of mustard seeds).
This is my leap year and I am leaping.
So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you are God
You’re altogether lovely
