How valuable is your time to YOU?

Do you always avail yourself for others? I do! You know that moment when you set out a specific time for someone and you got so used to that person meeting you at that time and these days its when you get used to chatting with someone on Whatsapp, Facebook chat, BBM or whatever social network site you are into. The disappointment remains the same when that person doesn't meet with you any longer, it hurts because you gotten yourself used to that. I have recently had that experience it was a comfort zone I got myself into. When that person was now all of a sudden busy and no longer had time for me I felt abandoned, I felt rejected to an extent. I was suffering in silence as it were…

It dawned on me even though I made it a priority to chat with this person I devalued my sense of time, my time didn't mean much to me because I availed myself no matter what I was busy with, I would answer every text in the fastest way possible and of course I projected that onto that person and was horribly disappointed when that person was no longer there. I got myself in a fix and I suffered in silence.

So what do you do when you are in this fix? You know what I did, I started using my time for my benefit, I decided to spend more time with my children, I decided to get back to my writing, I decided to use my time for doing good instead of abusing my time and being abused in return. I found this way I feel more fulfilled and my view have not changed of that person, I respect that person’s busyness at this time and it wont stop me from engaging in text conversations with that person again, I just wont allow it to affect me negatively anymore.
 

Life happens and when it does we must be flexible enough to adjust our habits accordingly so that it best serve us, we cant change others, we can only change ourselves and everyday is a chance for you
and me to be better than what we were yesterday…

My 2018 Lessons learned..

Tonight I have so much joy in my heart, as I reflect on this year. We have had so many setbacks yet God ordained our come back. We are on the verge of entering a new season and I am so expectant within my spirit. I cannot contain the excitement. This year has taught to love my family, my husband, my kids and my mother and not forgetting my Bestie Bianca. These were the ones who stood by me this year when I was down and out they picked up. My best friend has been a sister to me in word and deed God has strengthened our relationship so much. The ones whom I thought were my sisters they fell by the way side and made me wiser. Life showed me who will show up and support me. Through all of our setbacks and trials I have learned to trust in Jesus more and less on man. GOD HAS allowed me to accept the things I cannot change and accept people for who they are. GOD has taught me to forgive quickly and continue to pray for the ones who persecute me and cause me harm, God has taught ...

He works all things out...

And just like that my life has changed, from dreaming of becoming a Teacher and having my own class things changed just like that. I survived my first full week at school. Days of preparation and laying of foundation. As I sit and type these notes, my heart is so full. I am filled with immense gratitude to God for paving the way for me. I work with the most amazing colleagues who have the love of education rooted deep within them. The lesson I learned this week is that preparation is key, if I want my day to flow the next day, I need to prepare the day before so that I can get everything done. When one has had so many trials along the path of life it's hard to believe that relief is here and that it's just teething process we have to get through now. God does give you the desires of your heart when you trust Him to do so. When we submit our plans to Him, He works out a perfect plan  for us. He promises in His word that He will work all things out for our good (Romans...
