A New Dawn!

2019! 

YasS!!

We made it through another year! 

Isn’t the Lord great? He Sure is. 

2018 I gladly mapped out all the comfort zones :- from my elusive love life to my Christian walk and I made intentional steps to walk out of the comfort zones. It was NOT a walk in the park I can tell you for sure, BUT I don’t regret any stride, fall, pain, lesson, growth.

It was the year I got to transverse this beautiful land I call home, interact with different cultures and get my passport stamped (Dear globe-trotter, please roll your eyes to the back of the classroom) for the first time. This still feels like a dream each time I look at the pictures.(on Board) I remember how I was handed my order minutes after take off and being a newbie in the flying group I placed my food tray on my laps and went on my business. It wasn’t until my seat mate got his order (he is among the people who got sent to the back of the class) that he pulled out his tray holder and placed his food tray on it, that I realized I have been misusing my laps..(deep breath) it is well, Now I know. And you do too. 

Yes You are welcome!

2018 was tough on some of my family and friends but even in their dark moments they ministered to me greatly. Their resilient strength and unshakeable faith were proof of God’s presence. It was BEAUTIFUL to say the least. I am more than blessed to do life with some of the most amazing humans!

I let go of some of insecurities that I have been holding for decades, they were quite weighty (pun intended) I opened the closet to look at some of the skeletons and dealt with some of them, I pray I can look under the bed and face the monsters that lurk in the dark this year.

This year I walk in with nothing but utter faith. I choose to put my sight down and follow the vision. When we meet on the streets of life and I pass you by don’t hold it against me please, I will not be using my extra pair of eye. 

2019 will be amazing! I can feel it in my gutter, you wait and see what the Lord can do when you give Him ALL of you. Tell you what, I becon you to join in and give Him your ALL. Do not hold Back! Close your eyes Jump in to the waters of Faith. Let all You see, feel, breath, is FAITH in HIS will. 

Happy New Year Darlings.

Heart on sleeve.

One of my greatest fear, next to not fulling the purpose I was created for, is waking up to a world with no words. A world which I cannot express my thoughts / feelings / experiences / using words. This is a world I do not know how I would cope.

Would my friends and family know how much I love them if the words are taken away? Will they know that I am forever grateful for the shared experiences, and the memories shared?

I am therefore taking a plunge in the uncharted waters to be there for the ones who mean the world to me. Put away the phone when mother speaks and listen to her dreams and aspirations, let her know that I believe in her, in what she can achieve, let her know that I am super proud of all that she has achieved, the life she has curved out for her family.

Take the time out to watch what Rev does. Listen to his actions, pay close attention to the intention behind every word spoken. Be more present. Leave out the hurts but take the lessons that come from him.

Pray more for brothers and sisters. That God's grace and wisdom will find a home in their homes. That they will know peace. A peace beyond their wildest imagination. Let them know that I am proud of the people they have become / are becoming.

See my friends more. We are on different pages in our lives, but most have been closer than family, they have been able to see me for who I really am and they choose to walk this journey with me. It is truly a blessing.

I pray for courage and strength to step out of the world I have come to be familiar with, to the world of vulnerability and authenticity to be at peace with the relations that might fall through the cracks as I shake the foundations. I do not know what is around the bend, so let us find out!
