(English) Why Natural Hair ?
一月 31, 2018
“How on earth do I do this? How do i walk into the sea when I can’t even crawl? What if i just want to sit here and admire from a distance?”
The sea looks dangerous,tempestuous, even.
Does reckless abandonment for God mean losing my life ? I want to run to where He is, where He’s leading me but my feet fail, my strength fails. I mean, I’m comfortable.
OBEDIENCE
often calls you out of comfort.
This sandy grainy shore is my ‘safe haven’. You see, i don’t have to face a fierce wave and unexpected storms when I’m on the shore. I don’t have to lose balance and drown. This time, this place, I can control. At least, I think, I can.
But what happens when the water rises, and comes to meet me on its own terms, and not mine?
The shore is safe, comfortable, but what happens when the earth shakes? Maybe it’s time that we learned to walk on the water, meet it on our own terms with God. Not cling to a house with a sandy foundation.
Then again,I don’t want empty words when my heart is singing to my Father, “Spirit, lead me where my trust is without borders let me walk upon the waters, wherever You will call me, take me deeper than my feet could ever wander & my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior.”
Am I really ready? To be a fool in peoples’ eyes? Am i ready to lose it all ?
Well, (giggling) I’m not sure what this sea holds but I’m sure of God’s goodness. I know on this journey, I will have to face my giants of fear; fear of the unknown, fear of failure. There’s a confidence rising in my heart because God is with me. He won’t lead me where He isn’t. And sometimes, okay, most times, we just need to leave our comfort zones to fully experience God’s true nature.
Am i ready ? Yes. Even if it means losing my life ? Yes. Because He gave up His life to give me mine. That’s what I’m after, the life He invested in so heavily for my sake.
That’s what ‘El Tamiym’ is. It’s more than just a blog or YouTube channel. Oh I know that this is a leap of faith… I won’t lie… It scares me somehow… And because of this, every part of me screams YES… The storms will come, Yes, I’ll have to be strong and courageous, but, I choose to anchor my hope in Jesus. My soul rests in His goodness.
And for some of you, God is calling you to the unknown; that crazy and scary place, or so you imagine. God is calling you to the place of learning to roar fiercely and unapologetically. A place that means your readiness to lose it all for Him. He is ushering you to that place of reckless abandonment to see His Kingdom come. And i don’t know what’s holding you back …
But God wants you to know, He will never lead you where He isn’t. So fight; fight people’s opinions, fight every fear that’s holding you back.. Because it’s time to stop being a chicken.. an
Eagle’s place is in the sky and that’s where God wants you to be.
Journey with me through every post, yes, even the natural hair posts, because that’s how I got to see God’s heart. I pray that this blog will challenge both of us to see that God is more than what people say.
I pray that you will see that God is Good and that that will be your experience. I pray that you will see His heart as a Father and friend when He says His ways are perfect and asks you to choose His ways.
We will learn to fly and soar. With Him, For Him, For His glory. Just to experience Him more intimately.
Precept upon precept, line upon line. One step at a time. I trust You Lord. I know I can trust You. Here I am…
