Dust yourself off and try again...

Life hey, things change in a blink of an eye yet when we remain standing in the Lord it feels as though you and I can conquer anything as long as we abide in Him.  

I would be lying if I say to you that I am the optimistic Zenneline this morning because I am not, I am terribly conflicted. However I am finding solace in writing this because I know that someone out there will be encouraged by this.

I reflect alot, on where I was and where I am and where I am going and I see the Lord's hand in all of it more often than not. As I am sitting here writing this with tears running down my cheeks as I feel so sad this morning, a total different experience to the one I had last week however I am thankful that I can still get up and breathe and brush myself off and try again.

It being a new day should be good enough to start afresh but how does one do that when you feel that your whole world has been shaken. I always say that it's not what happens to us that matters it's how we respond to what happens that makes the most difference.

At my times of despair, sadness and confusion I don't look around or try to speak with everyone on what's going on inside of me, I speak to the Lord and if I can't speak to Him, I write in my journal and then I reach out to my confidants and I make a point of connecting so that I can have a let out. Even though God is always there and He promises us to never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). He has also placed specific people in our lives to help us through, to encourage us with His Word and to speak life into our dead situations.

He promised that we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus, and that is what I am holding onto because no matter what I know that the sun will come out tomorrow because He is mighty and He is faithful.


Have a blessed weekend and remember look up and trust Him with all your troubles and cares for He will sustain you ( 1 Peter 5:7)

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 ...

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...
