Your Dark Places Are A Blessing

  Just got back from church and the first thing that I'm doing is writing this blog because I felt this urgent need to share something so incredible that my father shared today at our church service. Every single time I come across something that inspires me or makes me feel happy I always make sure to share it out with you all, We never know who might need it the most.

Seeds are always sown below the ground, it stays there in that dark place where nobody is actually able to see how that seed will bear roots or how its gonna grow. But the moment it springs into a beautiful tree and spreads its steams trying to crawl above the surface of the ground that's when we know a seed was sown. Isn't it so similar to how our life goes about? We won't ever dare to share our dark phases of life, times of distress, times we failed, times we lost something so close to our heart, times your heart broke , times you cried yourself to sleep. times of doubt, abandonment, frustration. Only few people know that side of our story, Rest of them are only able to see the stem that sprouted its way above the surface of that dark place. But for a tree to bear fruits it has to be sown in that dark place. For a tree to flourish and provide shelter a seed had to be sown in the first place. The seed of our life is already sown and it's the dark phases that helps you climb up. It's those difficult situations that build you up for what's in the future.

Embrace your difficult times. Because you are a story in the making. Your life isn't done! there are opportunities that'll make you reach your destination. there are people who will help you grow. There are so many wonderful experiences laid up for you. Even if your situation feels like a curved question mark(?) Trust me it's going to get transformed into a straight exclamatory(!) where everything will make sense.

Also just Because you aren't able to see someone's dark phase doesn't mean it never exists. Everyone here deals with situations that are too heavy to carry. Everyone has a part of their story that Isn't shared. So please be kind.

 "Count it all joy, my brothers,[when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."

                                           -James 1:2-4

You Are a Wonder Working Power

Who is your biggest supporter? The moment someone asks you this question in a blink of a second our mind starts picturizing about all the situations or circumstances wherein someone supported you or made you feel valid. But how much time would it take for your mind to pop up your image? How much time would it take for your mind to realize that maybe there are chances that you are your greatest supporter of all time? for instance, when we look at certain situations where you felt stuck, unmotivated, you felt as if you've lost every single ounce of hope within yourself, when you felt like you don't want to burden anybody else by sharing whatever situation you are going through, but you still managed to survive. You still managed to get through that storm and now that you think of it you find yourself thinking as how did I do that? from where did I get the courage to face that situation? How did I muster that much strength to keep going? and the answer to that is " your r...

You are a masterpiece in making

 Hey Everyone! This time I decided to do something different than I usually do. I'm going to share a testimony, something that I experienced yesterday at my church service.   Recently I was going through a lot of emotional distress and it came from  a place of fear, self doubt, confusion and overthinking. Whenever I feel that way, I make sure to turn on some worship music and then listen to some sermons on YouTube. As I was listening to the sermon , this particular verse caught my attention and it comforted me so much it was from 2 Timothy(A book in the Bible) 1:7 it says " For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of Power and of  Love and of a Sound mind" this translation is from the NKJ version the NLT version also defines it so beautifully and precisely. the NLT version states: " For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." This verse reminded me that I was by no means made to live in fear and timidity, so ...

Season of Transformation

  EMBRACE YOUR SEASON!     In some way, I feel really connected to butterflies at the moment. What I find fascinating about butterflies is that what once crawled along the ground now flutters in the air. But that transformation doesn't happen overnight. That caterpillar had to journey through various seasons of transformation in order to become this magnificent creature. We all cycle through seasons of change, seasons of struggles, seasons of mental warfare, seasons of happiness and joy. Each season shapes you and transforms you. We really don't know how long each season will last but we do know that at the end of each season we step into a new one. A completely new beginning where we are a step ahead of where we started. Wherever you are in life right now   Embrace your season of transformation . Embrace yourself in the midst of your problems.                                 M...
