My Mission...

-
Last night,three guys told me they love my blog. Now,these were gentlemen in their own right. They were each so different and found themselves at different places in their lives, but they could all relate to what I wrote in my posts. One of them even told me that I give him a different perspective to certain situations. He said that we always tend to look at the negatives in life, but when he reads my blog, he always sees things from a different perspective.

This made me think. I am by no means perfect. I go through a lot of things too. And sometimes I write about it. I just never thought that my words would mean so much to others. I never thought that my every day experiences would bring a sense of comfort to the lives of others. I started this blog after my friend mentioned that I should. At first, I did not take it serious, but as I thought about it, it made more and more sense to me. If I could do what I love (write, tell stories) and help people while doing it, I'd be selfish not to accept the challenge. God has given me this ability to use words in such a way that I am able to assist others with the stories that I write, so I would be failing Him and myself if I did not do just that.

Today, there is no particular event that occurred. Today, I would like to thank those three gentlemen who complimented me on my talent. They may not know it, but their words gave me inspiration. Their words inspired me not to give up. Not to give in. Not to lose hope. Not to feel discouraged. Their words whispered to me silent praises that told me to continue on this mission, however small it might seem to me at times. And that is how it is in life. We are all given our individual missions. And as we go on these missions, we are given tasks. Some of these tasks may have no impact on the lives of others, while some influence the lives of others in a way you never thought was possible. Remember that when you're on your life's mission. Remember that some tasks impact others, and it is up to you to decide whether that impact will be a positive or negative one.

Tonight I will shut my eyes and tomorrow, I will continue on this journey and finish the tasks at hand. I will welcome new ones with open arms and I will continue on my mission. To grow. To learn. To inspire. Always.

Take Care

What Susie says about Sally...

‘What Susie says about Sally, says a lot more about Susie than it says about Sally.’ I came across this and thought it would be a sin not to post this. I know I have written about this before but I thought I should say something about it again. How quick are we to judge others? It really takes nothing nowadays for someone to say something bad about someone else. It has become almost second nature to open our mouths and to spread a story about someone else. In most cases, it does not even concern us at all. We spend way too much time concerned with the lives of others when we should be focused on making our own lives better. And it is true, what you say about someone else really does say more about you than it does about them. If you make it a habit of spreading stories, lies, rumours, whatever it may be, soon, you will have a reputation. And no one will believe you when you bad mouth others, because they already know that you have a reputation of doing so. The bottom line is t...

The clouds will fade...

I love rainy days. Days like today. I love them. The air seems so much cleaner. I inhale it and I feel alive. I feel alive. Rain has a cleansing effect. It falls down to the Earth and wipes all the dirt away. It penetrates the ground and works its way through every soil granule and blade of grass it can find. It leaves its mark on everything it touches. It cleanses. And then, it makes way for growth. That is what rain does. It touches the Earth and makes flowers grow, it makes grass green, and it nourishes and feeds so that growth can take place. And after the rain has stopped, the dark clouds that once threatened are gone, and it leaves us with a beautiful rainbow and the sun that eventually makes its way through the clouds. After the rain, growth takes place and the sun does eventually shine again. And in our lives, it works basically the same way. The dark clouds arise in the form of our problem and obstacles, chasing the sun away. They chase our joy away. They hover in our s...

They Chose My Womb

-
I often wondered if it would ever happen for me… I often wondered if having life growing inside    me would be something I would experience too.  You know how those thoughts of doom and gloom enter your mind and try to convince you that it is merely something you will witness and never have the pleasure of experiencing first hand. And as the years rolled by, those thoughts grew and gained strength.  I had often obsessed over it. Pretended not to be bothered, but secretly obsessing over it. Until it consumed me.  When I lost my Father and my best friend, the obsession grew. Almost as though I were trying to replace these two lives I lost with another. But continuously, I was disappointed. And so the thoughts grew. The thoughts became stronger and more prominent.  I didn’t know how to wait on God’s timing anymore, and frankly, I didn’t know if I wanted to. I became selfish and trusted Him less, although I still prayed for some kind of miracle. Which sounds we...
