Getting Back Up!

 I am someone that easily gets irritated when things do not go my way. Yes maybe as you reading that sentence you will say that cannot be. Well, that is true. I am distracted easily but one thing about me is that when I want to start again with something I will go all in. I will get up, dust myself off and start again. It doesn't matter how many times I must start again but I will get up again.

I think the reason that you and I are still here is because we still did not do what is expected by us. Each one of us do have that one thing only you and I still has to discover and that one thing is waiting for you and me my friend. I know you are asking, what thing? I also do not know and sometimes I think I know what it is but than again I go into another direction. 

SO what is it that thing? I do know the fact that you are reading this post is that you are just like me, searching for that thing that will give us the reason to stand up in the morning and going into the day with great enthusiasm. I may not be a great writer now but you know what I enjoy it and I am going to make it my mission to master it. I am tired of thinking that I cant whilst I have the ability but not always the will power. 

I have been neglecting my blog and I am so sorry  for that but I want to ensure you that I am coming back like never before!. Tomorrow is not promise and I might as well make use of this day today. Remember my fellow reader that you have a purpose to fulfill and it will come when you are in position. So get yourself ready and continue doing what you are doing. Even if you do not see the results yet, but start to visualize it and see it coming into existence. 

It will manifest.

 Get up again!

Lots of love!

Amazing Grace

The past couple of days I have been thinking a lot about grace. This made me wonder what is it really about grace that is so amazing. We are familiar with the song “Amazing grace” but do we really understand the meaning thereof?

The definitions I found on grace are as follow:

·         “courteous goodwill”

·          “bring honour or credit to someone or something by someone’s attendance or             participation”

·         “freely unmerited favour”

In this regard I am mostly focused on the grace that are spoken about in the Holy Bible that the Christian community speaks about as I am a firm believer in God Almighty. This does not mean I would force my beliefs down to anybody as everyone has their own way of acknowledging that there is a Higher power that has the complete control above everything. This than brings me to the word grace, of who God is to me. Gracious, good, honourable, freely given unmerited favour. This means I don’t have to do anything to obtain this grace but it is freely available and one should only be able to receive it through faith.  All of us have a measure of faith regardless of what we belief in. There are always that inch of hope for the better.

When I look back on my life I can trace back on this amazing grace. Amazing because of the ways I lived, did not add up to the grace I received so freely.

There are times in our lives when we are walking on the paths that are simply not good for us emotionally, spiritually, psychologically or physically. Circumstances we find ourselves in that leads to life- changing break downs, destructions in relationships etc. that are unhealthy to us as an individual that ultimately escalate to other relationships. We don’t always realise this at first but somehow we will get to the point where there is no way out. It is in those hopeless moments when we can experience this amazing grace even though we might feel we don’t deserve it at that particular time but it is usually those times where grace brings us out of unfavourable situations.

Everyone deserve this grace and we should also extend it those around us. It does not matter what situation you might find yourself in right now, remember this amazing grace that are available for you and me. We just need to take in a receiving heart posture that are willing and open to receive this amazing grace.

Let us be a gracious hand to someone today.

Battlefield of the mind

 Have you been fighting battles in your mind lately?

Battles can be anything from lies ; fear; disbelief; anxiety, sadness  or anything that make you feel negative and depressed.

I still struggle with negative thoughts. Thoughts that want me to give up on things I started or dream about. It is in the mind where you can either win or loose your battles. This mean if you win in your mind you will win in the physical. 

Our minds have an incredible influence on our words and actions. One can determine from someone's attitude which thoughts they ponder on. 

The question than how do I control what I think about ?

Well you can choose what you think about.Its totally up to you. If you dont like a thought that pop up , immediately push it out of your mind and replace it with good things.

Focus on the positive things in life and you will draw positive energy towards you.

So what results is it that you dont like at this moment in your life? Re-evaluate your thought process and you will determine the root cause. 

Think what you think about.

Win your battles in your mind!

New beginnings

There is something beautiful about the start of a new year. You get the oppertunity to start again.

How many times have you made vision boards and seldom achieve all your goals? Maybe you did manage to achieve them all. Well done to you!  I sure still have to go again at it this year.

This is a chance to reflect on last year's  goals and the reason why it was not reach.  Identify the stumbling blocks and work out strategies to reach all of them in a realistic manner. 

It is therefore important to have S.M.A.R.T goals which means Simple,Measurable,Attainable, Relevant and Timeframe goals.  Let us refrain from making unrealistic goals and when you reach February you are exhausted because you have put to must pressure on yourself. 

Also refrain from comparing yourself with others it will just make you miserable and you will loose your focus. You are only in comparison with yourself. At the end of the year you should be able to trace back how you have grown into fulfilling your dreams step by step. 

New beginnings gives us the opportunity to start afresh.  So use your time effectively in order to discover your full potential. 

Lets jump in!!

Appreciation

 

Find appreciation  where you are

Have you ever scroll through old pictures and got that feeling of gratitude? The moments captured in a picture make me appreciate the things I have done, went through and where I am currently in life. It is beautiful to see the progress that you have made in the process. Yes there were times when you got of the trail but thank God for His grace.

It makes me realize that we should appreciate everything in life. Our families, friends , experiences and memories. Right where  we are this moment is where you were meant to  be. Start to see the beauty in the mundane things of life. Just be in the moment and live!!

Thankfulness

Have you ever realised how blessed you really are?

I mean the fact that we are still able to do what we do on this very moment is a blessing. Many times we want the WOW effect to feel like we are blessed. We miss the little things whilst focusing on the big things we still want to have. 

What do I really want?

Growing up there were many things I wanted. A work, my own finances,  buying my own clothes, my own place and so much more. Now that I am older and looking back on where I have been and where I am going I can truly say , I am thankful. Not for what I have because it can all disappear in the blink of an eye. I am thankful for who I have become .

I had some off ramps along the road and I failed many times but I am greatful for failures. It pushes me to never give up. The only thing I want is peace, love and joy.

I am thankful for my parents who gave me the best they could because its their provision that ensured that I am here today. How many can say thank you still to their parents today?

If you still can , go and say thank you to them now.  They also had their own struggles but still they pushed through it to make your life better.

I am thankful for my life, my health , my time, my energy ,my mind, my emotional state. Just so free to be who ever I wish to be. Its like I am able again to dream like before. There were a period where the dreams stopped and life seemed good but what I realised now is that in those times growth never happened. Stagnation took place.

It is so essential to get in an environment where your full potential can be unleashed. Surrounding yourself with the ones who motivate, encourage and grab you on the hand when you go astray. Those are the people who sees the value in you that you sometimes miss yourself.

I am therefore thankful for people that came into my life and adds value. I am thankful for those who I have outgrown . They were meant for a season and it is over now. You either grow or stagnate within the different seasons of life and I choose to be fruitful  and grow.

I am thankful just for everything that brought so much meaning into my world. 

What are you thankful for?

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

It was a a day just as any normal day. I got up and I got ready for work. I left for work but this day however was diffrent. Something happened that started to open up my eyes.

This  day I woke up early in the morning with the urge do my dirty laundry. I never ever woke up so early. I did just that and sat in bed reading my Holy bible . It was like that the words became alive to me for the very first time. I never had this urge of attending a woman conference so badly.

This is the day when I experienced Gods love for me so tangible. Everytime I think about it I feel it as if was just yesterday. The day when I could see how God actually love me. That He think I am worthy of love and that He sees me for who I am and not for who I am trying to be. Wow God loves me just as I am? Flaws and all. 

We so easily want acceptance for wrong things by wrong people and yet we are already accepted by God. It is when we see through the eyes of God that changes our whole perspective on life. It is when we allow God into our lives that we can fully experience His promises. The bible becomes effective when when we fix our relationship with Jesus Christ. When we do what the Scriptures says and not be only hearers. That is when we can fully experience God power working in and through us.

I am greatful all the wrong roads I travelled because I know now it was all part of the process. 

That was the start  of me moving where God wants me and He did it sistematically until I totally surrendered my life to Him.He is patient, longsuffering, gracious, full of mercy and love. This is the grace He showed towards me and I know He can do it also for you.

What I realised now as I look back was that God had His hand over me the whole time just as His hand is over you as well. I struggled to get to terms of what happened to me and tried to figure out how did it happened. Now I can say I am in the healing process. All that happened was part of God's purpose for me. 

Sometimes we find it hard to believe it but know that whatever experience you went through that has bad memories are meant for a greater purpose. You have the ability now to connect with other who struggle in the same area and be a testimony of what God can do regardless of how bad the world might think you are. God has healed me and I know He is capable of healing you too just where you are.

What pit are you in that feel as if you wont get out?. What sin is there in your life that you think God will never forgive?. 

I challenge you today. He is a gracious God just take it all to Him in prayer. Open up your mouth and tell Him everything. He anyway knows it all but He wants you to give over your will to His will.
