Tea Time With God!

Why is this title called Tea Time with God you may ask? Good question! I needed to ask God this question for myself. God gave me this title back on December 11, 2011 and I did not know why. Gods answer to me was He wants me To Experience Away (T.e.a.) Time with Him! This is what He wants from us to experience Him and in order to experience Him we must take that time to get away from everything and everyone around us.  In the book of Psalms 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I love sitting quietly and drinking me a nice hot cup of tea and think about Gods goodness. But He wants more of us; He wants us to go deeper into His presence. It’s about hearing His voice and allowing the Holy Spirit to be in control of every part of our lives. There is so much going on around us that we miss hearing His voice and God wants to speak to and through us. How do we do this? By asking!  Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. I had to learn how to continue to ask, seek, and knock in order to receive answers for my life. We try to fix things ourselves and we mess things up. We all want quick answers for our problems but if we learn to sit back and trust in God things will work out to His liking.  He knows what we need even before we ask Him.

I remember when I was dating this guy; we decided to get an apartment together. Everything was going so well in the beginning! After a few weeks of living together I was missing God I was brought up in the church but as an adult I slipped away. I decided to go back to church and the day I went to church it was communion and I took it, he told me I was not suppose to do that because we was living in a life of sin.  So I decided to call a family member and ask what I did was wrong. After I hung up the phone that’s when all hell broke loose, the beatings started.  He punched me so hard I fell and went sliding across the floor.  One night he took me to abandoned highway to try and run me over I ran for my life, you talk about a movie scene that it was. He’s pulled guns and knives out on me threatened to kill me. Beat me as though I was a man, punched me in the chest where I lost all breath in my body I thought I was going to die. But because I started seeking God with all of my heart only He, God saved me. One morning Friday the 13, April 1990 at 6:00 AM God stood over my bed while I was sleep and told me to leave now. I opened my eyes to see who spoke to me and that I knew it was God. I looked over to see if my ex was there he never came home so I said ok.  I called my mom to see if I can come home she said yes, my brother was home, and his friend was home with a truck. I moved out, and put everything in storage. Later that day I went to pick my son up from school and as I got to the school my ex was driving by. He got out of the car and asked how come I did not go to work and I told him I moved out and he said oh ok and walked away.  I have not seen him again.  I’m telling you this because it was nothing but the grace of God who spoke to me because I asked and He told me what to do. If I was not obedient I may not be here today. 

I learned that when you trust and believe in God, He will order my steps and everything will be perfect.

Trust God with all of your heart and He will direct you!
