This Christian girl and distractions though! 🫠

Like, have you ever felt so far from Jesus but you like I'm doing these good works for God..why do I feel so lost and so not at peace though...?


I then decided to pull back and assess my life and what I was actually doing.


And this where it got crazy....


Hold up, some background. For an entire year I dedicated my life to just seek the Lord to scripture and prayer. My faith increased. Holy spirit really revealed so many things. I was on a journey of intense healing and growth!


So basically, I was journaling daily and having hours of quiet time with Jesus daily friend. Daily. Every day. I never missed a day..until....


2023, I was like Jesus I want to go deeper for you. I want to be in overflow. I want to be passed knee deep, kinda like neck deep.


Low and behold, Jesus was like LET'S GO!

😬👐 Okay maybe not so intense but friend I got what I asked for you...


So I ffwd, I have so intense busy with outreaches within the local community and within school environments and even became even more involved in the youth services. Like legit become a youth leader...like wow. Glory to God.


Anyway, then boom more stuff, invitations to be on the praise and worship team, dance team, being more involved in the connect station, setting up pastoral areas, ushering, Bible school etc... And oh yes, I have a full time job.


👁️👁️..... I was spazzing out friend.


Anyway, long story short.

I realised I was chasing good works.


I was more in the church building than in the body of Christ...you get?🤕


I felt lost...and in all of this I still seeked God. Really just complaining to Him like so; ' God I don't like what's happening, church people are mean and pushy, and they treat me like a kid but you know what God, I am gonna trust you because obviously you know best, Amen'


And so I learnt a lesson. That the good works God has set out for us is already part of our plan, part of our journey. It will never inconvenience us, it will never come back with regret, it will always be for the good.


So friend, don't get distracted. Seek the Lord for discernment and really as hard is it is, speak to Him about the choices and decisions you have to make...


Sometimes the good works we think we do for Christ, the enemy uses against us when we don't seek God through it all.


For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Ephesians 2:10 NLT
