If someone would have said eight months ago, "Jasmine, you're going to start a blog," I would've laughed and asked them, "Exactly what would I be talking about?" And my first initial thought might have went towards talking about romance, creative writing, cooking, family or something along those lines.
I would have never guessed that I would create a blog completely dedicated to The Most High. Well, within the last eight months, my life has taken a drastic turn. And not for the worse, but for the better.
Growing up, my belief in God was always strong and I considered myself a christian. Church and prayer was apart of my life. However, I constantly found myself asking these same two questions over and over again. "What am I doing here? And what is the reason for my existence?" I would walk around like everything was fine but on the inside I felt dead. As time went by, I got older and was eventually diagnosed with major depression & anxiety. And no amount of medication the doctors prescribed me seemed to help.
Well, eight months ago, I wasn't so sure if I was going to live to see the year 2023. I had hit rock bottom and I was convinced that I couldn't sink any lower. The Most High had other plans for me, though.
As I was sitting on my bed, trying to figure out ways to call it quits, I stumbled across a website that changed everything.
With a heavy heart and resolve on my mind, the site that I came across proceeded to tell me how much God loved me. And how it wouldn't hurt to just pray and call out to him one last time before I made any final decisions.
The site led me to a prayer. And I'll never forget how I felt in that moment reciting that powerful prayer. I prayed with all of my heart to The Most High. I laid it all out on the table and begged Him to just take the wheel out of my hands.
And in that moment, a warmth I had never felt in all of my life, washed over me. And a sense of peace, and joy like no other entered me. Ever since that moment, my life has not been the same.
So... Why am I here? What is the reason for my existence? I'm here to spread the great gospel! I'm here to share my testimonies! I'm here to discuss daily ups and downs. The good and bad. And give all praise and glory where it's due.
(P.S. : This blog is my personal journey I am sharing. And how walking in faith has looked for me. Everyone's journey is different).
