When life gets challenging for me, I like to find a quiet place, mainly my bathroom, to communicate with God and to seek his directions.  During this time, I find it’s easy to express myself in words, which results in the songs I have written.  Communicating with God under any circumstance, whether happy or sad helps me to know his voice and builds a relationship with him.  I am at my best and a force to reckon with when I seek him early in the morning.  As stated in the book of Psalms; Early in the morning I let my request be known before thee and I wait with expectations.  Waiting with expectations, is having faith beyond all my circumstances and knowing that God will come through. Being a person who likes to have consistent communications with God through prayer, I know that there cannot be unresolved issues in my heart.  Whenever I struggle with forgiveness, I focused my attention on my own faults and mistakes. 

This helps me to highlight God’s constant forgiveness and also the forgiveness from people whom I have hurt in thoughts, deeds and action.  I have had discouraging times in my life and at some point or the other threw in the towel, chooses my own path and went my own way.  I understand that there are failures in our Christian walk; however, failure never stopped God from loving us.   Staying in sin, has kept me longer than I wanted to stay, but the consequences of disobeying God drew me even closer to him.   I have tried to stay quiet about God’s love, but like Jeremiah said, “I feel like fire shut up in my bones’. Experiencing the audible voice of God, speaking with me one and one has helped me to stand firm in my faith.   Knowing that God had called me to a specific task of ministering to the lost souls is considered the highest honor and privilege I will ever gain in my life.
