I grew up in a simple (not so simple, now that I think about it) family.
I woke up one day with the realization that I was in an environment, started up with the basics essence of life, Education, and continued in that pattern.
I never really thought much into life. Never cared about what others thought or how things came about.
That was what I needed at that time but then, I grew older. The realization that I needed to do better came into the picture.
I wanted to have more friends, I wanted to be dressed in the way others were dressed, wanted to be at the top of the class, wanted to be approved of and then, the struggle for survival began.
Fast forward a few years later and I'm older again. I'm growing and of course others are growing alongside, maybe even faster than I am.
They're doing what the "big girls and boys" are doing. They're dressing in ways I wish I could, and they have gadgets that I don't. They're so classy and trendy, but I'm not.
I'm being left behind, but there isn't much I can do. I mentioned earlier that I grew up in a simple family.
In my home, we're Christians and sure enough, I grew up with a Christian background and Church vibes.
I sure was the obedient child, I still am, and being groomed in a Christian home only made it more of a habit.
The fact that I'm a Christian, and the need to listen to all the commands from the Bible somehow had seeped into my system and had somehow fashioned my mind.
And so you can imagine, while all this was going on, the thoughts of the consequences of doing wrong was always there.
Today, I'm older and wiser.
I'm looking forward to amazing things, and learning from my mistakes. I'm still growing, I still feel the pressure, but I've come to a greater realization of what a Christian means.
That's my story...
These are times and seasons.
The bible specifically said that, "there is a time for everything under the Sun", and it applies to all of us too.
You may feel that maybe you're not just doing good like the others, or making a difference.
You may feel that you're slow in progress, or that things aren't just going the way you want them to like I did, but there are times for growth, and times to accomplish that growth.
As a young person, we experience and see a lot of things that affect our response to life but I've learnt tht waiting on the Father has its blessings too.
I'm planting now though, but I know that by God's grace, the harvest will be plenty and so will it be for you as you wait patiently for God's time.
God loves you 😌
