"I’m coming home, I promise." This is a vow I made to God—to return to Him and the purpose for which I was created. After a series of unfortunate events in my life, it felt as though God was urging me to wake up. In a moment of humility and submission, I decided to follow His way for the for the first time in my life. I realized: who am I truly here to please, if not my Creator? Join me on this journey of coming home. May it inspire and encourage you to come home as well. Much love, Winta

<p>I’ve spent a lot of time contemplating this current journey I’m on with God. And I’ve had to face the reality of who God is versus who I wanted Him to be. God has put me through the fire and I was mad at Him for it. It had me question, who is this God I claim to serve and can I accept Him regardless? Through this time of self reflection, I’ve come to an understanding of who God. He isn’t a God who is far away from me, but a Father who is near. A Father who disciplines his children in whom he loves. He knows my beginning to my end, so why hold onto a life that doesn’t truly belong to me? I surrender to you Father, I trust that you have my best interest at heart, even when life gets difficult and it seems like there is no way out. I know you are still with me and I with you. </p><p><br></p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Your Daughter</p>

<p>The world has been moving so fast, and I’ve been drowning in the sea of busyness. Through it all, I often wonder, “Lord, are you with me?” My mind has been crowded with thoughts of things that I cannot control. And although I believe in you, I must admit that my faith wavers at times. Your silence feels like absence, and I wonder again, “Lord, are you with me?” Sometimes, it feels as if you are with everyone else but me. Everyone else seems to have what I desire, and it’s hard to be joyous for others. Bitterness has left a mark on me, and I don’t like who I’ve become.</p><p><br></p><p>So I ask again, longing for an answer: “Dear God, are you with me?”</p>

<p>The past several months have been hard. Disruption after disruption. Trial after trial. And somewhere along the way, I left God because I was angry with Him. I kept asking, Why me? Why bless me with something just to take it away?</p><p>What I failed to recognize was that I had already abandoned God long before the disruptions and the trials. I abandoned Him in the stability and the comfort. When life was good, I slowly stopped seeking Him. I convinced myself I didn’t need Him anymore.</p><p>The things I had acquired became my idols. My security, my identity, my sense of peace, all of it became tied to those things. And when those things were taken away, I began to spiral. I started losing myself.</p><p>Anxiety and depression became my natural emotional and mental state. And spiritually, I began to die.</p><p>Instead of confronting my pain, I tried to medicate it through avoidance. Doom scrolling on social media became my temporary escape. I remember watching these short videos of childhood celebrities growing into adults. Two of them stood out to me. They had dated when they were teenagers, so young and in love, with so much light in their eyes.</p><p>But as the videos moved through the years and into adulthood, it was like something had faded. The light in their eyes was gone. It looked like life had slowly worn it away.</p><p>And I realized the same thing was happening to me.</p><p>When I looked at myself, I could no longer see the light in my own eyes. It felt like I was still in my body, but something inside me was already dead.</p><p>Had I kept going down that path, I don’t know if I would have found my way back.</p><p>But through these experiences, I’ve come to understand something deeply: the Lord is the light of my eyes. He is the one who keeps me spiritually alive. Even when I turned away from Him, He was still sustaining me through every trial and every moment of suffering.</p><p>I can run away from God for however far and however long. But there is no denying that ultimately, my life is better in His hands.</p><p>I pray this podcast encourages you, inspires you, and reminds you that you are not alone.</p><p>With love,<br>Winta</p><p><br></p><p>Scriptures from this episode:</p><ul><li>1 Samuel 16:14 - Distress of Saul</li><li>1 Samuel 15:20-24 - Saul admits his need for approval of man</li><li>Isaiah 55:8-9 - His ways are higher than our ways</li><li>Philippians 4:6-7 - Pray about everything </li></ul>
