My journey with Christ

Many if not most people have sort of defined journeys or rather testimonies to salvation. Mine might be different and not a day goes by without me wondering on how great the Lord is and his ways clearly unlike ours. From a young age, I must say I was blessed and I never understood some occurences until a later day.
I have always had dreams of the future. Because if I am not mistaken, while in Primary Two or there about, I dreamt of myself in Didi’s world now wonderland world amusement park but in the dream instead of being with my classmates since it was a school trip, I
was with my family. In Primary Three during one of the holidays, we were given circulars and the next term we had a trip to Didi’s world. I was excited but during the holiday, my
family took me the park and they told me that I was not going to go on the school trip but I visited all the places on the list. I was sad but it was later that I realized that I had actually dreamt about the event before it happened. I have had many more encounters
after that and all these events happen to me. I would always ask some of my friends whether they go through the same thing of dreaming about future events but none has.

But that is one of the many ways I have experienced God first hand in my life. I always wondered why me but then again, everytime I asked, I was always led to Jeremiah 29:11 that says

“For i know the plans i
have for you,” declars the
Lord, “

plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future…” this has over the years come to be my favourite verse although it is also well known by many people, Christian and non christian.
But every time I quote this verse, I always feel better and I feel that God is by my side and through my writing I hope to unfold my journey through Christ. I believe there is someone out there who is just like me. You end up confused on the existence of God and his promises to you. I have been there, and had unpleasant experiences with friends, family, colleagues and I always questioned why certain things happened to me. But then again I am reminded that our ways are not his ways and he never lets us face something that he knows we are not strong enough to handle. What has your challenge been? Do you sometimes find yourself blaming God? Well, you are not alone, I have blamed him too and not once but several times but I am always reminded that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and my father, friend and confidant would not abandon and regardless of what you are going through, God has and will never forget you.
Be blessed.
