Blockage

Sofia Tomuyu walked across the bridge to the 4th floor building under the starry night. It had been about a month since she had come back from her vacation in Cancun and things have changed a bit, her attitude, her friends, her friendships, how she viewed herself, she guessed that had changed too. She could go, and seek out adventures, without having to apologize for them. She could make new friends,but then, here was the struggle: “How do I maintain good friendships, old friendships, classic friendships, and still pursue new ones? Could I do both?  Do I even need to? “ She asked herself. The obvious answer was "yes", but putting it into action was the harder part.

Still, she thought of the ways she could go about this. These were by submitting her plans to the Lord, going to Him and saying”  Hey Lord, so this and this are happening, this is how it feels, and this is how it is impacting me”, so  as she turned on the vacuum, she opened her mouth, and began to tell God what was on her mind....

“Lord, forgive me for the times I have taken your crown and put it on someone else’s head. Forgive me for the times I have gone my own way, and not listened to your guidance, forgive me for having a big,hard head, and forgive me for being unfaithful….that is the hardest confession, because I try so hard to be faithful in other areas of my life, but I did not go into this “season” with a good plan and so I chased after every shiny thing, when it was a game of quality not quantity, and that caused me to land in a place of confusion and regret, but I’m coming back to you now. Please receive your crown back, and please forgive me and guide me once again”. 

As the prayer ended,Sofia realized she  had gone through the entire office vacuuming and lamenting, but at last, the blockage was gone and the office was immaculate as her renewed heart.

“Create in me a pure heart, O God,  and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit” Psalm 51:10-12
