Mood swings (Praise and Lessons Learnt)

20/12/22

Today has really been a boring day. 

I really thought that it'd be full of drama, but it's most likely sleep and a few movies here and there.

Over the previous weekend I was unusually moody and it seemed to enter into Sunday. On any other occasion I'd be bubbly and full of smiles but this particular day had been a blur. 
I was smiling but it was half-heartedly. I could sense this gloomy aura. The feeling of being unaccomplished. It was soaked within my bones and I just couldn't do anything other than sleep it off.


Where was it coming from?

If my life has taught me anything, it's the fact that what I experience has a way of affecting my emotions. This is sometimes not a good thing because it affects your environment and these experiences are not always good.

I went for an outing on Friday and I think that's where it started from. I had fun, trust me I did but, some of the conversations left me thinking on my behaviour as an individual. It left me feeling insecure and unsure.

Be mindful of the things you let into your mind and sphere.

Really, it wasn't a bad conversation or steotyping. It just expressed how people saw me as an individual and that wasn't what I wanted for myself. 

Strive to be the best in your little community... It doesn't have to be perfect, but be known for good.

Anyways, this had an effect on my behaviour up until Sunday during the teachings tht morning.

The Bishop said something that really stuck though. 

He said to praise God in it all. When you praise God, it makes a way for you. It gives room for God to do miracles~ paraphrased.

With that little word I had gathered, I was able to enter Monday feeling much better. It didn't seem like much, but I was able to move ahead.

Lessons Learnt

In everything that happened over the weekend up until now, I had learnt a few things that I'd like to share;

Praise is a powerful instrument in your life with God.

God is taking you through lesson and he'll make sure to open you to what you're doing wrong so as to change your life and make you a better child.

It doesn't matter how long it takes, God will make sure to take you through this training and make you a different person (a better person).


That's how God can be.

His love thrives in Obedience. Your obedience to the instructions he has given.

God loves you😌

Act of Obedience

"I look unto the hill from whence cometh my help... My help cometh from the Lord" Today, I'm in a sticky situation.  Found myself having a writer's block, hmmm... But I have to write not just because I know there are people looking forward to this, but because this blog is an act of obedience... It is his daily dose of love to you and I. I'm grateful to Father... Whenever you think you've grown distant, he's always like, " My child... Where are you going? Come back home..." When it seems like all hope is lost, he steps into the story... That's my Father, that's Jahdosh (Yah). I will save you.... Save you from every destruction. I am here for you , Father says , I am your help in times of need and even when you think you don't need me. You might think you're lost in that path, but I am right beside you. This is a word for someone, you might think that God doesn't love you, that he's left you behind. He's th

Christianity - Overated?

It's Sunday again... A day where a lot of us spend time in his presence, go to church, listen to the Pastor preach, and in all certainty vibe in the Sunday ministrations.  That's how we are as Christians. It's the  supposed norm that we've been taught even before we could walk. It's how the "Christian" lifestyle is said to be. Yet, when we walk out the Church and go to our various homes, we live totally different lives... It's like we're another person and living a double life. Living a life that doesn't please God. And no it's not just about dressing or talks, it's about those secrets in out closets. The hidden diaries in our hearts. What does it mean to be a Christian? What does the Christian lifestyle entail? Isn't it about being Christ-like? Well... I think we seem to forget that a lot. Being a Christian doesn't mean we should live a life for show, it's not a reality show. We're not on TV. Being a Christi

Life... Be grateful!

Life... Only but a fleeting moment. Today, an incident that struck a lot of people took place today. The news of a coursemate being dead was one none of us had expected, most especially not in our final year. We never thought of wearing black and walking around the school, never thought we would mourn a soul so soon... But it happened. This led me to one thought, to one question... How can something that we hold so dear, be so easy to loose? A lot of times we are not worthy of where we are, but God looks at us and gives us life. He gives us the opportunity to live again. It's not because we're too beautiful or so smart, but just because he loves us. It's a privilege to wake up and see another day.  Learn be grateful to God for what you have and for where you are... He kept you through it all. From dust we came, to dust we return... Live a life that pleases the Father. He has kept you through it all not because you were worthy of it, but because he loves you. Lea
