It was one of those Sundays..
I went to church with a heavy heart..
I had so much on my mind.
You know when you are going through a difficult season and you cannot even tell your best friend because you can't even bring yourself to say it out loud.
You show up to church with your glad rags,adjust your smile and lift your hands in surrender to the God who knows the unspoken words of your heart.
it was one of those Sundays..
As I drove home from church with my babies asleep in the back, a red bus overtook me.
It was bus 173.
And As I drove further, another red bus passed by on the opposite lane.
It was bus 173.
I chuckled to myself and then I heard the holy spirit say to me..Remember Bus 173.
Bus 173? I thought to myself and then I remembered.
My eyes lit and I smiled..How could I forget bus 173.
My husband and I used to take that bus to
church every sunday many years ago
and I remember a particular weekend on my way back from a womens conference,I was 20pence short of my bus fare and I waited hoping the bus driver would be kind enough to let me on.
The bus came,I explained I was short and the bus driver shook his head and went on his way.
I struggled to fight back the tears,You see I was out of work and my husband was doing a second Uni degree and was in his final year and yes we were pregnant expecting our first child.
I walked home that day,it took me about 40mins or so.. crying halfway and singing on the top of my voice for the other half of my journey🤣😂
And when I got home my husband hugged me and told me it would be ok.I can still remember that night.
It was a really difficult season and as I reflected back on where we were presently my heart was filled with gratitude,God had indeed brought Abidemi and I from a mighty long way.
I could hear Him reminding me to trust Him through this present season as this too was going to pass.
Today as I write this post I remember how reassuring that word was to me.
God Has not forgotten me,He is a good God and every promise He has made,He would watch over to perform.
Every time I see that bus 173 now I smile knowing that God is at work,if He brought us out from a place of nothing I know for certain that He would take us to a place of surplus.
I am encouraged,God has not forgotten me.
God is at work.
I hope you have been encouraged?
What did God do for you yesterday?
It is time to remember where God has brought you from.
It is time to remember your prayer points that are now testimonies.
It is time to joggle your memory.
Where has God brought you from?
Do feel free to share if this has blessed you.
