What’s up, what’s up, WHAT IS UP? It’s your friendly neighborhood author back with more insight into the things of God.
This has been a trying season for me. Back in 2019, I learned a lot about God. I unlearned a lot as well. Now here I am again, learning and unlearning.
My husband and I went on a sabbatical from our church in May of last year. A few months later, we told our Apostle that we would not be returning. There was no animosity or wrongdoing on anyone’s part. We just knew our time there was up. That happens sometimes. Seasons end. Departure doesn’t always mean there’s conflict. Sometimes it’s just time to go. It’s like when you’re at an event. That event has a start time and an end time. Sometimes people leave early because maybe they’re tired or they have another obligation. They didn’t have an altercation with anyone; it was just time for them to leave.
Now I’m in a season of learning who God is on my own. We’ve attended services, but we have not joined another church, and we don’t plan to join one. So here I am, learning God literally for myself. We still have counsel around us; we just don’t belong to a church right now.
How has this time been, you ask? Interesting, freeing, frustrating, and beautiful. The Bible says to study to show yourself approved (2 Timothy 2:15) and to work out or own salvation (Philippians 2:12-13). That’s where I am. Learning God independently, while also learning more about myself. This is not shade or hatred towards the church; I just believe that maybe I was too dependent on church, my Apostle, and other leaders around me.
To anyone in a season similar to this: keep going. Keep going, keep seeking, keep searching. Don’t let anything or anyone discourage you, and don’t move before God tells you to move, in any capacity. Keep asking questions. God loves an inquisitive mind. He made you that way, lol.
As always, remember that God loves you, I love you, and I want you FREE. Peace and blessings.
