Turning points

In life I  have found we have many turning points that challenges the very core my being and we must make decisions and choices that will be for the better of ourselves, I have been hurt many times and I have been in a dark space for about 3 weeks and it was as if I was just existing holding onto the routines of life because that helped me keep my sanity, I have been in a place where I see what is happening in my life and when I shared that with others it almost felt like I was not being heard, like I was lying and yet it was my reality at that time, mine alone and yes many shed light but the only way they would actually know the extent of my hurt and pain is, if they had endured what I have, I reached a turning point where I decided to rather tell my story for God’s glory because in these dark moments I found my Savior to be near to me and no matter how lonely I felt I felt my Savior’s tangible love comforting me as the scripture says in Hebrews 13:5 “I will never leave you nor forsake you” it became real to me because I experienced God’s love and He enfolded me in his Love, for His perfect Love cast out all fears.

Turning points in our lives can lead us to do two things

  1. We can make the choice to allow what we are going through to dictate our behaviors in a negative way or
  2. We can allow the hurt and pain to mold us in who we are meant to be and allow our pain to give hope to others, tell your story for His glory.
God has helped me through many turning points in my life, whether it was walking away from a friendship not knowing why I had to but trusting Him because I had to, whether it was to stay in a relationship and allow Him full access to do what He knows is best. I don’t understand His ways I never will, what I do know is that “nothing I do or don’t do, will ever separate me from His love for me” (Romans 8:38-39)


My turning points have made me stronger and wiser and everyday I choose take the lessons from my mistakes and my relationships to shape me for a better tomorrow. I am no victim, I am victorious in Christ alone…

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...
