It's 1:28 am here, and it's like I wouldn't be sleeping any time soon. I rounded up my daily one-hour midnight prayer a few minutes ago, talking to God. Guess what? It's my birthday today, and sleep isn't coming as my excitement has cleared it away from my eyes.
I might stay up for a little longer since I won't be going anywhere today. That means I would have time to sleep and enjoy my birthday with lots of texts and calls here and there. It would be a time of responding to wishes from friends and family.
Nothing serious, really, but I have a lot on my mind right now. It's about my new age, the past years of God's faithfulness, and how life has taken me to different kinds of experiences. Glory to God, I was shaped by them all. I had to do some retrospection - some things that made me cry, sad, pissed me off, made me laugh out loud, that I almost had a headache...
I have been thinking about what new things to pick up in this new era of my life. I wouldn't say they are affecting my mood at the moment, but most importantly, it is how I am investing in knowing God more deeply.
I don't want it to be like I always come to His presence because of my requests alone, but I desire to know Him for who He is. So far, the past year has been a great ride understanding who God is, His nature, principles, what He hates and how He has called us to live a fulfilled life.
Two nights ago, I was watching a movie from Mount Zion Films titled "Abejoye." I guess some of you would be following up on the episodes. I started watching this movie two years ago, and I stopped when I saw that there were more episodes being released every Sunday.
Honestly, I don't like movies that put me in suspense, where I would start to wait for the next drop. But last year, when I heard people talking about it and the new episodes being released and how interesting and powerful they are, I decided to go back again.
I had to stay up at midnight to download most of the episodes on YouTube using my free data points, which also helped me manage my normal data during the day. Most times, I am still up at midnight watching this movie.
It's a spiritual and great movie that has touched lives. MZF has greatly impacted lives, even right from when I was a young girl. I've grown fond of them over three decades, and it's still exciting to keep up following them.
As I watched another episode last night, I found myself being led to pray a short and simple prayer for them. There was a scene that got me so excited, and it made me flash back to how I was ignorant in the world and how the devil had dealt with me, taken advantage of me, but coming into the light of Christ has greatly transformed my life. The man said that anyone who has Jesus has enough, and I totally agree with him.
This was part of what I have been sharing with God about during my midnight prayer and thanking Him for the past 31 years of my life. God has indeed been faithful.
Now, as I begin my 32nd journey, I strongly believe a new era of great manifestation is about to unfold. To God, it's never too late to use me and never too old for a new life with my partner soon.
When the time is right, God will make all things happen, and while that is happening, all I need to do is keep getting myself prepared for the beautiful things He has laid out for me.
Happy birthday to me, and I wish myself the best. I would love it if you could drop some prayerful wishes in the comment section. More than anything, I prefer prayer because it opens many things for me.
