How many facets do you possess?

I believe everything happens for a reason we must just be awake in the moment to appreciate it all, these last two weeks random things happen, excuse my lack of ignorance if the word random is too common, let me say extraordinary moments has happened and I obliged. Last week I wrote a blog on you have a VOICE and moments later I find myself in a secret group on Facebook called Abuse No more, I didn’t question it I just went with the flow wondering what God is up to…

Yesterday I met a lady by the name Zanele, who works for an NPO, she volunteers there and she asked me some hard questions, that left me somewhat startled but led me to find answers for myself. Today I popped into the Central Library wanting reserve a book that Zanele recommended Steven Covey’s 8th Habit, I went to the Library with the intention to reserve the book because the lady I spoke to before I made my way to the Library said they didn’t have it in, but they did. Before I could find that out, I bumped into another person Khalil who seems to be on the same journey as I am discovering who I am, why I am here and where I am going, we briefly exchanged stories and we parted ways. I then made my way to the Librarian who informed me they do have the book and I went to fetch it.

I have learned a few things in these two encounters let me break it down like this and this is my revelation, I have been writing for a while and I have found that I am so full of SUBSTANCE (goodness, full of untold stories), if I am awake in my moments and meet people I want to have a lasting effect on them, I want them to say because of that lady I have a deeper understanding of myself because she asked me a challenging question, because she shared a little bit of herself with me, not to be seen but for me to draw strength from.

It dawned on me that God has many facets, and if I have so many facets that I am busy discovering that it is OK because I have been made in God’s image and what He possess I possess. It also dawned on me and so truly there, that we are all where we are at because of the decisions we have made, and that in its essence is so powerful, it can cripple me/you or you and I can decided to accept it and pave a way for a better tomorrow. Just as in the past I made decisions and choices that influenced my life in a negative way, so I can start today to make better choices for a better tomorrow, I can't change my past it is what it is!


I can however influence my future with the decisions I make today…

We are so used to...

We are so used to allowing our current circumstances consume us, we lament we groan and moan and we are often so confused as to what the next step must be that we should take.  The groaning and moaning of How unfair this is, Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?  Etc and we find people to complain to but we do nothing about our situations. We then use our situations to fall in abuse of substances and we even turn to other things we never thought we were capable of…because we are so vulnerable and the enemy will use that vulnerability to his advantage. We worry about what this one is going to say. How is it going to look to others? I won’t be able to do this and that? My question to you is, can you afford not to walk away? These are the thoughts that keep us captive. In Hosea 4:6 God reminds us that my people perish through lack of knowledge. So surely when you know better you should do better, right? Look we are all at different spaces in our lives but when we a

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
