Hi 👋🏾 it's been a while
Heey Sis
I took an unexpected three month break from writing and sending newsletters. In the spirit of being transparent and authentic, I have struggled spiritually these last 3 months, and I couldn’t explain why. I struggled to pray and read my bible. I was also dealing with brain fog.
I refuse to write just because and so, this led me to take a break that went on longer than anticipated. Thank God for people around me who prayed for me because honestly, I have felt really numb for the past 3 months. Despite how I felt, I kept showing up for God and tried to stay connected. On the days that I couldn’t pray, I listened to worship music, on days I couldn’t listen, I talked to God, and when I couldn’t do that, I wrote to God, or at times I would stay still in His Presence. These past 3 months felt like a spiritual attack, but I thank God that He helped me overcome it. I am taking it day by day.
This video was great explaining what was happening with me but thank God.
@madelynowusu stop taking the path of least resistance and fight this thang head on! #christiantiktok #christian
A song that helped me a great deal through this season was Yet by the King will come. The lyrics spoke to my soul, and I broke down crying the first time I heard it. God hears our cries, especially our cries to be closer to Him.
During all that, there were still joyous moments and events happening. In my last newsletter I mentioned I was hosting a brunch at my house. Thank you to everyone that was able to attend in July, it was an awesome time together. We ate, talked, prayed, and connected. Hoping to do it again next year, bigger and better.
I also travelled a couple of times, which was fun and healed me in some way. I didn’t know how much I needed it. That is what I have been up to while away from here, but I’m back and I plan to do better.
In the spirit of gathering women to worship and pray together. I will be hosting a worship and prayer night in Northampton on the 1st of December for women. I will share more information soon. I am super excited to see how God will move. Please if you can make it, put it in your calendar.
Until next time
