One of God's greatest blessings is to be outside the competition and live with God
I used to live like everything was a competition.Who’s doing better. Who’s ahead. Who’s noticed. Who’s winning. Even in quiet moments, my heart wasn’t quiet.It was comparing. Measuring. Running. I would smile on the outside…but inside, I was tired of chasing a finish line that kept moving. One day, I sat alone, overwhelmed, whispering:“God… when will I finally be enough?” And the answer didn’t come like a loud voice.It came like peace. Not the kind that cheers you on to run faster—but the kind that gently says,“Why are you running at all?” I realized something that shook me deeply: God never asked me to compete.He asked me to walk with Him. All that pressure…All that comparing…All that exhaustion… It wasn’t from Him. So I did something that felt almost wrong at first—I stepped out of the race. While others were running, proving, striving…I slowed down. I started noticing things again—the sky, a quiet prayer, a moment of stillness.I started hearing God more clearly… not in the noise, but in the stillness. And for the first time, I didn’t feel behind.I felt held. Because when you walk with God,you’re not late.You’re not less.You’re not losing. You’re exactly where you need to be. Deep Meaning 🌿 Being outside the competition is not losing—it’s freedom. The world teaches us to compare and chase validation.But God invites us into something deeper: identity without comparison, peace without pressure, and purpose without rivalry. When you live with God, your value is no longer measured by others.It’s anchored in Him. And that… is one of His greatest blessings. Verse ✨ “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? … If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”— Galatians 1:10 Prayer 🙏 Lord,I’m tired of running races You never asked me to join. Free my heart from comparison,from pressure,from the need to prove myself. Teach me to walk with You—slowly, faithfully, peacefully.Remind me that I am already enough in Your presence.

Title: From Gas Station Princess to “Canadian Expert” in One Day
will never forget the day life decided to humble me… twice. First, the gas station incident. There I was, sitting in my car like royalty.Five minutes… ten minutes… TWENTY minutes. I’m thinking, Wow… this service is terrible. Where is the guy who comes, fills the gas, cleans the glass, maybe brings snacks too? Meanwhile, my uncle is outside watching me like I’m a live TV show. Finally, he walks over, smiling like he just won the lottery and says,“Honey… nobody is coming. This is not a hotel. MOVE.” I looked at him, shocked.“What do you mean?? Tell them to come!” He starts laughing so hard he can barely breathe.“I’m not kidding. Get out and do it yourself!” So I step out of the car… confused… betrayed… emotionally damaged. I’m staring at the pump like it’s a science experiment.Where is the ON button? Why is there a hose? Why is it looking at me like that? A man walks over, trying not to laugh:“Do you need help?” Me: “Yes. Immediately.” He shows me everything like I’m in kindergarten.And my uncle? In the background… laughing like this is the best comedy of 2026. I thought that was the lesson of the day. I WAS WRONG. Because later… suddenly… everyone became an expert on my life. Out of nowhere, people start giving me advice like I signed up for a free seminar. “You have to wear this.”“You have to do that.”“You have to become Canadian… forget your back home.”“You need yoga pants.”“Don’t wear perfume.”“Say ‘dear’ more.” I’m just standing there… smiling… nodding… like,Wow… amazing… should I also change my name and personality while we’re here? It’s so easy for people to talk.So easy to give directions… when they’re not the ones driving your car. Same people who would probably sit 20 minutes at a gas station waiting for service 😂 And I’m thinking,Do they even try to understand? Or just talk for sport? Because honestly…Life already made me stand in front of a gas pump not knowing what I’m doing. Now I also have to stand in front of people telling me who I should be? 😄

That reminds of when I when I was scolding an auditorium of students with a big chocolate blob on the tip of my nose. Good lesson in humility for sure 🤣
From Repetition to Relationship
I wasn’t always connected in prayer. I used to pray like a routine—words memorized, heart disconnected, just repeating what I was taught. It felt empty, like speaking without being heard.But everything changed when I truly welcomed the Holy Spirit into my life. I stopped performing and started seeking. I asked Him to teach me how to pray, how to speak to God from my heart, how to understand His Word—and He answered.Now prayer is not a duty, it’s a relationship. It’s real, alive, and powerful. Testimony:There was a moment I realized I didn’t actually know how to pray—I only knew how to repeat. So I humbled myself and asked the Holy Spirit to guide me. I began to speak honestly, even when I didn’t have the right words. Slowly, things began to shift.My understanding grew. The Bible started to make sense. My heart softened. My faith became real.God didn’t change—I did. And through that, everything changed around me. Promotion / Invitation:If you’ve ever felt like prayer is just routine… if you’re curious to experience something deeper… or if you want to learn how to truly connect with God—this is your invitation.Join me, let’s grow together. Let’s learn how to pray with meaning, with truth, and with the Holy Spirit leading us. Share this with someone who needs it. You never know whose life might change with one message.And if you’ve had your own experience—come talk to me. Let’s chat 🤍 “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us.” — Romans 8:26 Words from my heart:Prayer is not about perfect words.It’s about a real heart.And when you invite Him in—He will teach you everything.

Thank you, Maria. Great insight about your journey to a more fruitful prayer life. I appreciate my Pastor so much for leading Prayer School a few times a year. It's online and can be in person if an interested person is close to Saint Joseph, MO. It really helped me so much to know that, even when I don't feel like praying, I can "say the prayers" (remember that the disciples devoted themselves to THE PRAYERS, one assumes they continued on with their traditional Hebrew prayers, the Psalms, as well as the Lord's Prayer. This discipline is key to full Christian formation). Interested folks can get more info on WOLC.COM
How to trust in him, in the storm 🙏🙏🙏
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… it’s learning to trust Jesus in the rain ☔️💃🕺 Because even in the storm, He is there. Even in the unknown, He is working. Even in the rain, there is purpose, growth, and quiet beauty. So don’t just survive the storm— dance in it, trust through it, and let your faith rise above it. ✨ #Faith #TrustJesus #StormsOfLife #GodIsWithYou #KeepBelieving

This is great advice. We're so used to not having to endure hard things that even a thunderstorm can seem like a huge challenge. To embrace, even celebrate, God's glory in the storm is one possible spiritual practice that almost anyone can participate in. Find hard things to do. Wait in a long line for no reason. Clean up someone elses dishes. Let cars that are going way too fast pass you - you have no idea what's going on inside that car. Greet small things. Be human on this Earth.
“Closed Doors Are God’s Protection — Trust What You Cannot See”
Sometimes we beg God to reopen doors He already closed… not realizing those doors were never meant to lead us into peace. You didn’t hear the conversations behind your back. You didn’t read the messages sent in secret. You didn’t see the intentions that could have broken you. But God did. When He removes people, closes doors, or redirects your path — it is never punishment, it is protection. Even when it hurts. Even when it doesn’t make sense. So instead of questioning Him… trust Him. Instead of going back… move forward in faith. Say, “Thank you, Jesus, for what I don’t understand yet.” Be aware. Be faithful. Be obedient to God — not to human agendas. Because what He has prepared for you will never require you to beg, chase, or lose yourself. Trust the closed doors… they are guiding you to something greater. ✨ The picture is a gift from my dear DJ Wilson, behind that picture a big story and how we both felt stupid. But when we start to listen to god, we start to laugh and praised his miracle & ways❤️❤️❤️July 2024.

These are the doors of Palestine. Bethlehem, Nablus, Jericho.... Each one holds a secret. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Palestine. After leaving Egypt with his family, He returned to Nazareth, Palestine. He went into Judea only for prescribed religious observances, to preach the coming Kingdom of God, and to encounter the cross. He came to save the world. Our faith is ancient, eastern, and mysterious. Certainty is the enemy of faith.
