Saturday 25th June was my day to wear the Sisterhood Travelling Necklace.
I kept thinking to myself, “I hope I don’t break it, It looks so delicate”. But then this thought came “why would it break, if you take good care of it?”
As I was sat eating my breakfast “don’t let anything or anyone break you” came to mind. At first I didn’t understand why, but then as negative thoughts started to pop up concerning my current situation, I realised why it came to my mind! It was God speaking to me, already instructing me in advance. The day was a not easy at all, as I went about my day, insecurity thoughts kept creeping up. Whenever I was around people, or about to do something, the negative thoughts would come. The way people acted towards me, the way part of the day went, was not what I expected. But through it all, the thought “don’t let anything break you” kept coming to mind. I kept head strong and went against everything I was feeling. I was determined not to allow anything or anyone, not even my emotions, put me down. The day ended up being a blessing because of this determination.
I started to think about the travelling necklace experience from 2010 and how quickly a year had flown by. I couldn’t believe that it had been over one year since I joined sisterhood and that I am still here, despite all the things I went through. It was not easy at all and many times I wanted to give up.Then God showed me the reason why I am still here. I am still here because of the One I run to whenever things get tough. The One I make sure I spend time with daily and develop my relationship with. God showed me when you are secure in Him, You will not break. Nothing or no one will break you because you are closely connected to Him. He gives you all the strength and security you need.
So just like the leaves on the necklace are tightly joined together, those who take care of their spiritual lives and are connected to Jesus, will always be tight with God.
Just as I took care of the necklace, I must show more care and attention to my relationship with God and invest in my faith, daily.
God bless you all
