2nd ChAnCeS!!

I have been thinking alot, alot about these two words "second chances", who deserves a second chance and what does this second chance mean, second chance in life second chance in making a relationship work, second chance to do your job the best way you can, second chance to give your best in everything you do, but how practical and achievable is it? Pretty easy I would say given the chance of course, cause what happens when  you are not going to be given a second chance at a relationship? what happens when you don't get the second chance you have been praying for? what happens when you only have this one chance right now, to make your life anew, to start afresh and call this your "second best chance", I can deal with that!!

So here is the deal how much do you want a second chance, first and foremost if you want it bad enough you will go after it with all that you are and you will not, I repeat you will not let anything or anyone get in your way, because you have set your goal on living your life the best way possible, for anything to become better in  your life you have got to be plugged into your source, in my case my source of existence is Christ, in whom I find EVERYTHING that sustains me, and how do I keep plugged into Him, by seeking Him through reading His word( The Bible) and spending lots of time in prayer. So once you have identified your source, you need to think of your desired outcomes( what does God want you to achieve in this life ), once you have that, then you set out obtainable goals to achieve the big goal.

You have got to know who you are and if you don't know yet I encourage you today to find out what makes you tick, you can do this prayerfully or you can just ask the questions and be honest with yourself, questions like: Who am I? What is most important  to me? What do I believe in? What are my weaknesses and how can I turn them into strengths? The journey to second chances begins with honesty with  yourself  and knowing yourself and being ready to invest in yourself.

"The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.Great is his faithfulness;his mercies begin afresh each morning.I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;therefore, I will hope in him!” Lamentations 3:22-24

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?"   "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...

Being a MOM

While I pride myself in being a Mom, a nurturer and everything that goes with it, I have been feeling much like a failure of late. My girls (especially the middle one and the eldest one) have been struggling in their schoolwork not the understanding of the work but the self discipline that goes with making progress at school. A week ago I sat on one of the benches at the station and just managing to at that time (7am ) of the morning to write notes to teachers in message books as I had kept the girls at home the previous Friday because I forgot to do it the night before. As I went from one message book t o the next I opened the last one that was my middle daughter’s and here two warnings and a nice message from her teacher stared at me. As I proceeded to read the note I was filled with anger and much disappointment... I completely became one of those ladies that just let it “rip” on the train station and yes the “nasty” mom came out you know the one where you switch to Afrik...
