I walked away from my relationship with God after I arrived in the States from the Philippines 🇵🇭 in 2000 without really being aware that I did - I just chased a different priority and stopped talking to HIM.
My first adversity showed up immediately 4 months after by means of a car accident - a personal injury lawsuit for $18,000.
HE tried to get my attention right away.
I can see that clearly now but I didn’t hear it…
In 2008, when the economy crashed, my journey crashed with it. I didn’t hear it the first time so this 2nd one set us back for a decade. Again, I see it clearly now…
I also crashed back into God but at that time I had no idea I was on my journey back to God…until…one day, this book found me at a Christian thrift store for $1 in 2017. That day, the promo was you got a free Bible for every purchase regardless of amount of purchase.
This time I heard HIM; a decade ago!
I started reading it just one page daily not knowing I was going to read it every day for a very long time and it started pulling me back into a different direction; closer and closer to HIM.
If there is ONE book, just ONE that I would recommend that you read to encompass every aspect of life, it would be this devotional book by Joyce Meyer.
This book transformed my life.
It keeps me grounded in my faith and my walk has never been the same ever since. It’s a wayyy better walk with HIM.
It lead me to a business that started me, instead of me starting it that’s now become the world’s largest Friendsgiving festival, Friendsgiving Live® ♥️ where the first ticket is for God so if you’ve ever been, there’s always one empty seat no matter how sold out my annual event is.
I tried doing life without HIM and it didn’t work.
