Life is full of so many happenings. Some of these are personal or life-threatening. I have seen people having one behavior or the other but suddenly getting changed. Some kept with their usual behaviors without changing a bit of it. I can call it “permanently cursed.”.
Three years ago, I had a character that I was happy about but was displeased by my husband. I was happy with it, but my husband kept being sad and would always talk to me about that character. I had always prayed to God to remove this character of mine, but the more I prayed, the more the character kept coming. Like I said, I'm sure you all want to know what I'm talking about. Likewise, I am always stingy when it comes to my money. I was depending wholly on his money, even though I was having enough.
Many women always support their husbands, but I was only doing a little bit until two years ago. I prayed fervently, and may he be praying for God to change me. I prayed for this behavior not to follow me to the next year. To God be the Glory, my prayers were answered. I began to support him handsomely in whatever he was doing. The land he bought was through my support. We have two lands presently, which were through my support, unlike before. I just believe that whatever you wish for in life shall come to pass one day, but with a lot of determination.
I'm the type who goes to church frequently. There was no service I would not miss, except for weekly services. Last year, the worst happened. I stopped going to church for a reason I less cared about. I was happy not to go to church, even though my husband would always scold me. First, he was not the church-going type, and now he cannot do without going to church.
Up until the last day of the year, I was still not having the mind to go to church, but I have been praying to God to give me the heart to change. Sometimes last year, my husband had told me to follow him every Sunday, but I refused his words. He wanted to react but was unable to; instead, he said, “You own your life. I know you will change when the time comes." I just knew that this year, everything is going to change, as it is part of what I have to inculcate for a better beginning.
This year would be a must year for me to revive my serving God just like before. I can count the number of times I attended church last year, as I was just carried away one way or the other by things that had no meaning, depriving me of attending service with God. As the year passed by, I had been saying I would go next Sunday, but then I would fail yet again. This time, I will take it as my duty to start a new beginning. Not just attending Sunday service, but also attending weekly programs. I am not the type who attends weekly programs, but this year would change every bit of thing I was not doing last year.
