Ray of Purpose

Pama, my friend and sister walked into the room we shared and announced excitedly that she was reading a book. Did she say a book? If you know Pama as well as I do, you will understand why reading a book is an interesting development. My curiosity spiked and half expecting to see a novel I asked that she showed me what book it was and then to my surprise she brought out a book titled ‘the secrets of an irresistible woman’ written by Michelle Mckinney Hammond. I took the book, flipped through it and handed it back to her. Now, I love reading books and I am quite familiar with Michelle’s books but reading her thoughts at that point in my life was far from comfortable. I mean I was painfully aware that I had made a lot of mistakes in recent time, but having Michelle spell it out for me; loud and clear was not going to pamper my already wounded ego. So, when out of habit than willingness to acquire knowledge, I asked Pama if I could borrow the book and she replied that she had to finish reading it first, I heaved a sigh of relief. I knew that it would be record breaking if she finished that book in a month! (No offence Pama, winks*).

So Pama traveled and one morning while trying to get dressed for work I found the book lying on a pile of clothes. I eyed it and looked away, I mean it’s just a book and I get to decide if I wanted to read it or not, right? No. I felt it calling out to me, challenging me to discover principles that will guide me as I journey to Destiny. After some days I swallowed my pride, picked it up and began to read. Call it whatever you like but I am absolutely certain that the Divine is at work here.

I am not done with the book just yet but I can tell you that I have picked up principles that will definitely last a lifetime. I have acquired some of the skills I need to negotiate this bend that I am approaching in my life’s journey. I know that I am very close to a discovery and I can feel my bliss blossom like a flower; opening up to the Ray of Purpose. I am more at peace with myself and I no longer feel the burning desire to get validation from those in my sphere of influence. I am eager to take on more responsibilities and my approach to life increasingly objective. In a nutshell, I am falling in love with life, over and over again.

The book inspired me to created a Facebook Group for single ladies like me. I figured a forum to share our views on God’s intention on love, relationships and lasting marriage will go a long way to impact lives. I don’t have top-of-my-head ready answers and discussions that will be shared there, but I know that creating that group is definitely one step I should take. Like I said in preceding write-ups, I am on my way to self discovery and although I do not know where this road leads me, I am sure I am where I should be.

The group is named ‘Queens in Waiting’, and if like me you believe in God, love, life, happiness and marriage then you are welcome to join us. Come with us, there is a place specially carved out for you on this bus.
