In pursuit of purpose through prayer I have come to find the oak inside me.
No fam, this ain’t no big story of my success. This is the story about the beginning of my success. For a very long time I have had my maybes about the agency and more importantly it’s website. I felt I didn’t know enough influencers: I didn’t have the right skill set. Maybe I wasn’t good enough! oohh you right those are words from Ater Dorine-Stir Fry post😊.
You right I prayed about it!
During mt time inside the ark, water flooding in, some light coming through and a regulated temper-ature 😅. I didn’t know that something was happening inside me. I couldn’t see in the dark. I could never wait to go home; because at home I would pray. Get some comfort and peace. That evening, when I got home I found a half full house; I burst into tears! My seed coat burst!
I have experienced shock and has been told that I was going through shock. But never have I ever told myself that ” Tisah! You shuk right now!” All the praying left me. I felt it all leave! I did what I did best suited up one more time. To the dark I matched out. When I got into that bus heading to town I couldn’t hold my tears no more. So I let them roll. Then I asked “Father, If this is what I have been praying for then give me the strength to overcome!”
Momma called and I told her I was out clearing my head and I heard her say “Nyasae ummna Tisah, Jehovah.” _ “God, Almighty protect Dorine on my behalf. ” At that point in time before I hang up, my soul calmed down. I was hurting, but calm. Felt pain, but calm. I went back home. Went to work and got served a letter of termination!
Finding The Oak Inside.
The months were dark, and I tried not to stop praying. I did my very best to hold on to faith. Believe and have hope I reminded myself. Then the shoot from inside come up. It was green 😯😌. I was amazed at the fact that I could sprout people. At this moment in time prayer is all I had. It was all I could do and so I went on my knees. My eyes filled with tears, my heart full of sorrow and my soul full of hope. I prayed to ask God what this was. What did it mean? I …I wasn’t dead?! Was I expanding into becoming a greater being?
My prayer level went a notch higher. It rose above my need level. I started praying for healing, I started praying for insight, wisdom, courage and the strength to find and fulfill my purpose. After awhile my leaves started to show I got to see others sprouting too. I got the courage to ask the other plants what they thought I was. They replied, “You came from that wrecked ark: you must be an oak seed! Look around see all the wreckage around; we came from them. See the beautiful strong trees around us those are oaks! If you try and fight till the end you will be an oak tree! Do you want to be an oak tree?”
PRAYER CHANGES THINGS: ASK GOD. 🥂 to becoming an oak tree.
