The Beginning of Bee's Journey...

It was the year 2015, and it was time for a change. Fresh out of another failed relationship, and problems were coming left and right. I felt like I was going in circles, utterly lost and defeated. It was during these dark moments that I heard a voice, one that resonated deep within me, saying, "It's time... Time for us to work on our relationship." That voice was God, and He was absolutely right.

You see, when you've tired it your way over and over again and find yourself repeatedly ending up in the same dead-end situations, it becomes clear that it's its time to revert back to the way God intended for us to function; to wholly depend on Him for guidance and support.

I attended church all my life, and I had a surface-level understanding of who I thought God was. I knew I should pray and where my help was supposed to come from. However, what I didn't fully grasp was the profound depth of God's love for me and His desire to be my friend. Regardless of my past mistakes and moments of unworthiness, He still loved me and saw me as worthy. What an overwhelming and glorious feeling that was!

So, I took the first step towards transformation. I repented, learning to forgive myself and others. I began to confront my own insecurities and flaws, seeking authenticity within myself. I opened my heart to God's word, diving into the pages of my Bible with a newfound hunger for His wisdom. I started journaling, pouring out my thoughts and prayers onto paper, and I became intentional in my pursuit of a deeper relationship with God.

As I journeyed on this path of self-discovery and spiritual awakening, I came to realize that my life was meant for something greater. I was on a mission to uncover my purpose, to understand the unique calling God had for me. With each passing day, I grew closer to God, and He revealed to me the beautiful tapestry of His plan for my life.

In this journey, I discovered that true fulfillment comes not from the world's fleeting pleasures, but from a deep and abiding relationship with God. He has become my anchor, my guide, and my closest confidant. I've learned that no matter how lost we may feel, God is always there, ready to lead us towards a purposeful and joy-filled life.

As I continue down this path of faith and self-discovery, I am grateful for the transformation God has brought into my life. I am no longer spinning in circles, but rather, I am walking with purpose, hand in hand with the One who loves me unconditionally. My hope is that my journey may inspire others to seek God's love and friendship and discover the incredible purpose that awaits them.

Scripture for Reflection: In times of change and rediscovery, I find comfort and guidance in Scripture. One verse that has been particularly meaningful to me is Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV):

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

This verse reminds us that God has a purpose for each of us, a purpose filled with hope and blessings. It's a beautiful reminder of the journey we're all on to discover our true selves in Christ.

God Bless you! Talk to you soon!

Remember to "embrace the journey as you move beyond the middle, one faith step at a time. Until next time, stay inspired and keep shining"
