Stirring me some semovita, reminiscing on the day’s activities then my mind travels all through the year round. I am a lot of grateful and then again I have learnt a lot of stuff and I decided to share with you guys.
I’d just delve into it already, in no particular order
My Trust game did some press ups this year, it has to grow some muscles this coming year though. At the beginning of the year, God had told me about my job; He’d be with me, I should not dread nada. But Noo! Those times came when I would shake, get all jittery. I started off as intern on this job, uncertain if I would scale the whole program and all. I got in, got confirmed as a staff anyways. Maine tough times came, times I’d cry in the toilet seat because I was not meeting set KPIs. Yeah, I am a sales person in a forex brokerage firm, something I really did not fancy doing ever. But God led me; He has been with me all the way.
I grew to the point where in the mornings, I was not sure where activations would come from, I would just tell my God, I really do not know how you gon do this, but just bring activations my way today. And He sure did come through always. I am over here closing clients on first call 😁 glory to God
I was listening to Pastor T.D Jakes sometime in the year, and he said God may not be big on details but He sure would walk with me. This I could not agree less. The kind of God I am rolling with could tell me, I would have a closet filled with clothes at the end of the day and you just may not have a dime in your purse or bank account. But He sure would stay through His word and supply the truck load of clothes from where you least expected.
Thinking about how things played out, I could have saved myself of all the stress of worrying and all cause when God says He’d do something He sure would. I believe He wants me to do more of trusting Him in the New Year. Exercising my faith, building up on the trust game is what I intend to do in the new year, Amen
I learnt to call or just say a short prayer for people when thoughts of them popped up in my mind.
I learnt to reach out on some days, other days I just prayed for them. I found out that when I called these people out of the blues, it did go along way. We’d have some good talk; throw in some help in my little way. Well I’d try my best to call some more and not just pray this year Amen. Days I defaulted, It didnt feel good at all. I’d have myself to blame for days and struggle with guilt.
Prayer! Asides being a weapon of warfare, it sure is away to let off steam! This is a two way channel of communicating with God. Although I need to learn to be patient to get answers when speaking with God. So yes! I had so many conversations with God in my pains, my doubts, in my victories, in my confusion, in my highest of moments, in my peace. I have learnt to talk to and with God
I learnt that being in God’s presence didn’t mean just going to church. I can be in God’s presence for as long I wanted. Ahhh! Praise bag ni baby girl! 😋
Waking in the morning and starting with God is delving into His presence, asking Him to go before you and go into the day with you is rolling in God’s presence. Singing His praises is chilling in His presence because He lives in the praises of His legit children. This I try to do every day, in God’s presence, life is a lot chilled brethrens, it is a place to be and remain I assure you.
LOOOL! I don’t know If this is completely good, but Lord! I learnt to super enjoy my company this year. Well I like my own space, just being alone and all. Back in university, the thing was use some other guy as distraction to get over the last guy. Nehh, nehhh…. I refused to be that baby girl this year. I just really enjoyed my own space, my ‘singleness’. I don’t think anyone can share what he/she does not have. T.D Jakes says its in time spent alone that one discovers oneself, discovers God, experiences God first hand. God met with Moses whenver he was alone, away from the crowd. Mary was by herself when the angel of God came to tell her about how highly favored she had been by God to conceive and birth the savior of the world-Jesus.
How can I make anybody happy, if I cannot make myself happy?
Oh! Well…that’s that.
I learnt to overly depend on God; like I made Him my everything, I told Him everything! Only God gets me the way I get me. I really was not big on holding anybody responsible for stuff in my life this year. We tend to expect a lot from certain people in our lives, mentors, pastors, parents, and friends. But I know better, these people are human just like me, they get overwhelmed with life sometimes; I mean we all are in this race. So there are times they would not come through for us, I even fail myself, so who am I to allow anyone shoulder my problems. Only God has such strength, so my God and I sorted ourselves this year.
Writing down my goals! I learnt this from my boss. So I learnt writing down goals, looking at them daily, pushes one to work towards to achieving them. Moreover, writing down the goals allows the universe and forces in the universe corporate with the goals written down and brings it to live. I wrote down my goals sometime in May 2017, I did a checklist yesterday and I did achieve a good number of my goals. LOOOL! There is one on that list that seemed so ridiculous, like I didn’t think I could achieve it. Well my boss says set your goals really high, so if you fall below your goals, you would somewhere close at least. Terrific thing I must say.
So yeah! Write your goals down, look at them often, everyday if possible and set your goals real high, don’t think mediocre of yourself.
Talk to God about your goals and engage in activities that will take you closer to achieving them goals
I learnt about how the powerful the word of God is. I have read, heard the word of God is life, it is light to the soul. I experienced it first hand.
God’s word is alive, active, as sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, it cuts all the way through to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together- Hebrews 4:12
Times when I was weak body, soul or spirit, times I felt lost, I just did not get me and I picked up the bible and read God’s word. It almost immediately brought healing, strength to my life. Solid example was earlier this week; my friend and I were kinda in the same place talking about our fears about the new year. I was not exactly excited like I was this time last year. I ended the call sad, and took to praying to my God, my all. He led me to His word in Isaiah 64:4
I felt a lot better, I am in a better place now, I look to take hold of the New Year, pretty much anticipating the new year.😊
Happy new year in advance guys 💋💋💋
