If I can believe in myself, so CAN YOU!!

All my life I have been searching and wandering and looking for people to believe in me and somehow I did attract those people, from my immediately(mom, sister, brother, friends) and 8years ago my husband, I was always wanting them to believe in me and support whatever I was busy with at the time, whatever I was passionate about and it made a big difference for a while, it even kept me going. But to some extent their belief in me was just not enough you know, I still felt a bit empty, that's when I started taking a deep look inside of myself, I started to get to know who I really am and I start loving me, you see most of the time we are so busy looking after others well being and making sure everyone is OK that we forget about number 1 ourselves. Its when I really started pursuing my relationship with God that my life turn around and God helped me to love myself, He helped me to believe in myself and my capabilities and its been an awesome journey.

I grew from a shy girl never wanting to be noticed, just wanting recognition for my talents and being given what's due to me, these days that recognition doesn't even matter because God has filled me up to the brim, I believe with all my heart that I can do all thing through Christ who strengthens me(Philippians 4:13). Many people can believe in you But what makes the difference is your belief in yourself and once you get to that point, you will surely be unstoppable. What has really helped me is my open mind and my teachable Spirit and allowing God in places that I wouldn't allow anyone to come in.

When you arrive to the point of fullness in yourself the support of others and their belief in you will just be an extra boost for you to do whatever you heart desires. Just as much as you love others, with that same measure you have to love yourself and know you deserve to be loved first by God, then by yourself and then by others. The love of others are the by product of your love for yourself.

Belief: A vague idea in which some confidence is placed..

One of the best gifts I have been blessed with is my belief in myself and with God by my side it makes it so much easy and so much more beautiful for He is Love!

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...

No one is always busy...

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...
