Today, I find myself back in my regular life—or should I say my “normal” life. It feels like a fresh start, a return to a rhythm where I can truly say that I am free. Free to do what I want, free to embrace my day without the constant stress or time constraints that come with a busy schedule. Most importantly, it’s a life where I now have more time to serve the Lord, to pour into my spiritual journey, and to deepen my relationship with Him. I’ve been waiting for this moment, and now that it’s here, I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to focus on things that matter most—my faith, my family, and my community.
For the first time today, I was able to join our Sports Fellowship with Brother William. It was such a blessing to be there, especially since I didn’t have to worry about rushing off to work afterward. In the past, I always felt like I was juggling my job and my personal life, constantly running from one thing to the next. But today, I didn’t have to do that. I could attend the fellowship, enjoy the moment, and truly connect with my friends without any distractions. It’s a reminder of how much I’ve longed for this kind of freedom—freedom to be present, to engage fully with the people around me, and to enjoy the fellowship we share as believers.
After our devotion and snack time, we decided to play a game of darts. As usual, since darts is not my sport, I didn’t do too well. In fact, I was the least skilled player out of the six of us, but that didn’t matter. The most important part was not winning the game but enjoying each other’s company and creating memories together. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to finish the game because it started raining heavily. But that didn’t dampen our spirits. We quickly wrapped up the game and made our way to the next event—an overnight prayer meeting at Sister Lorna and Brother Ading’s house.
As we drove over in Brother William’s car, the rain came pouring down even harder. Because of the weather, only a few of us managed to make it to the prayer meeting. But even with the smaller turnout, we still praised God for the success of the event. The rain didn’t stop us from coming together in unity to lift up the needs of our church, our families, and our personal lives. We gathered together in prayer, trusting that God hears every cry and knows every need.
Although everyone was tired and some of us were fighting sleep, the presence of the Lord filled the room. I was so blessed that night, despite the exhaustion, because I could feel the strength and perseverance God had given us. He provided the energy we needed to continue, and our hearts were focused on worship and intercession. It was a powerful reminder that when we lean on God’s strength, we can do more than we ever thought possible.
During our sharing time that night, Sister Mabel asked us a question that made me pause and reflect deeply: *If you could describe God and the things He has done in your life in just one word, what would it be?* I thought for a moment, but my answer came quickly: “Immeasurable.” Words alone cannot capture the fullness of God’s goodness, faithfulness, and love. His blessings are boundless. His love knows no limits. His faithfulness is constant, unwavering through every season of life. He is the God who has remained true throughout every generation. He is everything, and without Him, nothing would exist.
Reflecting on this, I realized that even though I’ve lost certain things in life, God has replaced them with more than I could have imagined. He has restored me in ways I never expected and poured out blessings I didn’t deserve. His timing is perfect, and His plans for me are greater than I could ever have hoped for.
Today, I was also able to join the praise and worship practice. The team was facing some challenges with the songs we were working on, but even in our struggles, we felt God’s guidance with us. Despite the difficulties, we trusted that He would provide the strength and wisdom we needed to get through it. And sure enough, by the end of practice, everything started coming together. We were able to perform the songs with more confidence, and the atmosphere was filled with peace. I’m so thankful for the guidance and support from God, and for His constant presence in my life. It’s moments like these that remind me of how blessed I truly am—how everything I need is found in Him.
I feel like today has been a reminder of just how good God is. From the fellowship with friends to the prayer meeting and the worship practice, He has been with me every step of the way. I’m looking forward to more moments like this—more opportunities to serve Him, grow in my faith, and be surrounded by the people He has placed in my life. To God be all the glory!
