Diary of a trying Christian

I think I mentioned to Faridah (Faridah is my best friend and I will be casually throwing her name in articles like we all know her because we do ) that I was going to start this series about 8 months ago if not more.

I wanted the perfect platform, perfect name with the right aesthetics and this and that and everything in between. Basically every excuse not to actually start.

I actually have about two pieces already written but they don’t feel “perfect” so I have not shared them.

But what hit me today is action. There is a common saying that “it’s the thought that counts”.

But not with spirituality and our relationship with God. You can’t think about praying and not actually pray because it’s the thought that counts. You can’t think about reading your bible and not actually read it because again its the thought that counts. You get where I’m going with this right.

Yup. I think we are mostly focused on doing things with God when everything aligns perfectly. Like waking up at the perfect time, setting the right mood, being in the spirit, journal ready etc. Don’t get me wrong, it’s important to prepare yourself to fellowship with God. But sometimes, you simply have to act. Half of the time, the conditions won’t be perfect and that’s not what matters to God. What matters to Him are our actions. Doing regardless of the conditions we find your ourselves in.

I hope this encourages you to DO today. Worship in the shower, pray while washing baby bottles, praise while doing laundry, read the Bible while working on orders.

It’s just like having your best friend on a video call while doing your chores, do God with your day, do God today.

Ps. I don’t know where I’ll be posting these pieces. But for now, this is where we are.
