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😌

For the moments when you feel stuck!

I started this year with a lot of enthusiasm... I remained expectant for the best. I had plans that I wanted to accomplish, and I wasn't going to miss it. As time went on, things started going off track, and I wasn't having it. I tried all that I could to keep everything in order, but the more I tried, the more I fell apart. I was losing myself and my focus. I was always feeling guilty about things that I did and didn't do. At the end, I broke down. I thought that I just needed to be strong, but I realised that I needed a mind shift, and this shift occurred in the most unique way ever. I had to learn by letting go. Strength wasn't the only thing that mattered to me at this moment, and I realise that now. This write-up isn't to confuse or give you a reason to pity me but to remind you that in moments where you think that all you'll need is your strength and willpower, Abba is calling you to depend on him more. While I had my plans, and of course planning is go...

Starting All Over Again

7:44pm Saturday, 16th, November 2024. It's been a long while since I've been up in this space. I just read a post from a few months back and it made me realize that I really miss writing. It's been like what? A few months? A year maybe without consistently writing on the blog. In these few months that have passed though, I have grown, and I am learning constantly to be patient with myself. I've had time to read, develop, and basically build on myself. One thing is certain though, I still have a lot to learn, and this is only the beginning of my life's journey... Okay, okay... I think I've somewhat started it or maybe gone through a mock phase of life's journey. Hmmm... I've experienced growth, and I can see what the Lord is doing in my life. I see how intentional God is about each and every one of his children. Just a head's up to all old and new readers, there's a lot of God in my writeups and I'm unapologetic about it. I love the Lord s...

The Journey Thus Far

I remember when I just started out my Christian journey. It was the toughest thing ever for me. I the basic knowledge of who God was, at least I thought I did. I only knew what our teens teacher had taught us, "Read your bible, pray every day!" At least that was the most basic thing that I could remember thus far. My walk with God remained mundane up until 2022 - The year I became the teens president and had my basic foundation teachers leave the Church for greater things ahead. I had little to no knowledge of what to do other than the words that they had told me, "Ask God!" You could imagine my surprise when I heard those words. Ask who? I could barely ask a teacher a question in class and now you want me to ask who? I don't even hear him to begin with. But that was it... That was the answer I had been given when I needed help, and that was just what I had done. Not long after, I came in contact with social media Christian influencers and content creators in ...
