Godllywood Challenge 9

Challenge 9 involved me doing something 'out of the norm' and when I read the task I thought about what 'out of the norm' really meant what could I do everyday that is not part of my daily routine and what benefits would I gain from this.

So on Mondays and everyday really I  had a tendency to come home late frequently, not because I stayed out doing wrong no! But because I stayed back in college late alot as I usually have a lot of work to complete and on Wednesday's and Friday's I would be in service, so on monday I decided to break this cycle and come home  early and spend time with my family and for me this was really out of the norm. It even surprised my mother who was happy to see me home earlier!

On Tuesday because in the youth group I have souls that I take care of and the work load of doing it by myself was not to bad I would do everything by myself  and when I thought about doing something different I realised how selfish I had been. It was not bad that I was able to do what was required of me and more by myself it was the matter of me not using others who want to help out and learn thats where I was being selfish I was impeding others from learning! 
So I have a helper who I was not using properly and on tuesday I called her and together we came to church and we called the youths together I showed her how to call them and what to say and it was lovely because u saw how much she wanted to learn and how she was greatful for the opportunity.

On Wednesday as I had been coming home early I was able to sleep on time and I woke up early on Wednesday and made an effort to get to college early and have time to revise earlier in the morning rather than late at night which was refreshing! 

On Thursday I decided to attend the meeting in Stamford Hill the calling and when I had previously attended I really made mo effort as I was just going from college so the way I dressed was just very casual,  so when I went on Thursday I really made an effort because I realised that I was going to a meeting not just

Godllywood Challenge 5

Godllywood Challenge 5 

“To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but  even their mind and conscience are defilled"

so this week I asked God to reveal to me whats impure within my self as hard as this was to admit I had i did have things that i needed to change. 

The biggest thing for me that God showed me is that i Procrastinate !! in the sence that I push things till later rather than doing them in the expected time i was given. and it took me a while to realise that i Do this every time i would ask God to reveal it to me i wouldnt accept it I would say no God this isnt it its something else untill God showed me directly in his word and then showed me again through a blessing i missed out on due to the procrastination. Since God showed this to me ive been working so hard to go against this when im Faced with something gor given something to do i'm trying to do it as soon as i can so i can show God and mysef that i can do it ! and none of this would of been revealed to me if not for this task i really do understand the meaning of Godywood moulding me into a better woman of God because before i understood it but i never saw the importance of it and how i could grow spirtiually from it aswell even though i was in rush month but now honestly its the best !!

Godllywood Challenge 4

Godllywood Challenge 4

To be lazy, wake up in a bad mood and be moody is… for the weak. In Sisterhood, we learn that every day is a new day for us to make a difference! And this is for the strong!

this was what i decided to focus on as within myself i sometimes approached situations in a lazy way i never saw them as new opportunities. So this week i was faced with various situations within my house it was as if i was required to much more work than i usually do and my first reaction was to grumbe and be in a bad mood but i honestly tied it up and smiled and saw it as a NEW opportunity to be a testimony at home. 

Secondly when i was in church and was cleaning the house of God, and i needed help but the people around me were'nt doing anything and all i wanted was for people to clean and it put me in a bad mood and i was supposed to go on a visit after so again i remebered that being in a bad mood is for the weak and i made a prayer as i was cleaning to allow me to put all my strength into what i was doing and then it seemed so small but the people around me started to clean and it was something so nice, the opportunity to clean Gods house was so much greater when i opened my eyes to the spiritual side of cleaning.

and the final thing that i took up on my shoulders was the event, everytime i felt tired and i felt i could not evangelise is when i tookj the opportunity to speak to people about the event and work even stronger it was toooooo good because God really honoured and most of the people i spoke to came today. i honestly believed they took something away with them and now im fighting to bring them back. the opportunity to help others was the best out of all my challenges this week. 

I loved this Task !! it was a chance to see a different side of my challenges the side of opportunitiess s!! 

I loveee doing the Godlywood Challenge 

Godllywood Challenge 3

1. You’ll wake up every day 30 minutes before your usual time just so you can pray and meditate on the Word of God. You don’t need to read much because meditating on it will probably get you thinking on one particular verse the whole day. It requires time and patience. I suggest you read the book of Psalms. As proof of this task, you’ll post on your Twitter and on our Facebook.com/godllywood page the following: #the verse and #GODLLYWOODCHALLENGE. If possible, try posting them at the time you did the task.

Day 1 

This morning i meditated on the book of Ecclesiastes 9:11

The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all.

as i have been meditating on the ecclesiastes for thee last couple of weeks i was reading this chapter and it really opened my eyes to what God has planned in regarding me and my life and my goals that if i want to get there i dont need to compare my self to others, because its time and chance (to me meaning opportunities) that will allow me to get to where i want to go. it was something so small but it really opened my eyes.

Day 2 

So carrying on with the book of ecclesiastes I read today
Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
but one sinner destroys much good.

And even though it isn't a lot this is what struck me wisdom is better than the weapons of war. To me it was as if God was showing me no matter the battles I go through with the wisdom gained from meditating on his word everyday I will overcome because that's where I will recieve the weapons to overcome in his word. And yeah that's what God showed to me this morning. Have a lovely day xx 

Day 3 

This morning I continued with the book of ecclesiastes and I read this

Because of laziness the building decays,
And through idleness of hands the house leaks.

Because of laziness what I have built can potentialy decay, I never saw it in this was before of course I knew about laziness and who it belongs to, but this caught my attention because when we're working towards something and just for a split moment we allow ourselves to get lazy everything we built decays and when something decays eventually it becomes weak and falls. I really think this is so strong and I'm going to fight to watch that I don't decay.

Have a lovely day. X

Day 4 

Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
And put away evil from your flesh,

Well now that I've been pushing for this event, I've seen the devil use my mum to complain about the church recently and its been hard because my desire is to evangelise and work hard but its I have to try and work extra. Hard to make sure I'm being a good testimony at home and in relation to this verse it was God giving me this assurance that I should'nt worry don't keep sorrow in my heart but fight to make sure I am an example and even before that in verse 5 ecclesiastes was saying that
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.
And we don't know everything yet and it really just reminded me that I need to keep trusting in God and keep fighting the devil but also make sure I'm blameless !!

Day 5 

I have been carrying on reading the book of ecclesiastes today chapter 12 and I picked a few things out.

Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all.For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.

God knows everything, the secret things and the open things so who are we trying to appear differently for. God said man's all is to fear God and keep his commandments, this is what he will require from everyone who disobeyed, and this is what I fight for everyday to make sure I am a servant of God and this challenge especially even when i was doing the challenges before this one was the task that helped me know my God soooo much more but it also taught me to be diciplined.

In the chapter it also said Remember your creator twice, remember who created me in the good and especially in the bad times and its something people forget and why they lose the fight the fact that he said it twice is to strong and for me I'm fighting to be beautiful in Gods eyes inside and out.

Have a blessed day xx

So as i thought of what i could do for my family i thought of my brother and he has really had a hard time even recently in school he has been picked on and it really did upset me but l decided to do something with him to help him. As he stammers he has to go to a specialist to help his speech I've never taken an interest in it before as I've grown up and his stammer seemed normal to me so for the first time I took him to his speech therapy and it was eye opening this 13 year old boy who finds life so difficult because he stammers he said on a scale of 1 to 10 that he rated how worried he was of other people a 10 and I wanted to cry and its all because of this task that I'm so great full for has allowed me to understand who he really is as usually me and him would end up disagreeing with things but today helped me so much to bond with him and now I'm able to help in his process of overcoming this problem he has

I also prepared a meal for me him and my mum which is something that doesnt really happen often as we all live such busy lives.
