Growing in 2023 (Choosing a Career)

 13/01/23



It's another weekend. 

Apparently, this is the second weekend of 2023, and I've been on a fasting and prayer session organized by my Church. It's been one of a kind for me really.

Normally, I'd just join in on the fasting and stop when the fasting ends, practically happy that I get to eat. Even now I'm still learning the process of waiting but, it's way better than a few years ago.

Right now, I'm beginning to understand that there's a whole lot involved when spending time with God. You begin to grow in ways you never thought of and you definitely learn to trust him with your things and life. 

Growing up in a church environment does not necessarily make you a Christian. Just as you learn to walk as a baby, you do the same in your journey with Christ. 

I've learned a lot in my walk with God and I'm basically still learning but, these few days of praying and fasting has really taught me how much consistency matters.

It really is a major part of growing in anything at all, spiritually, physically, and otherwise. You only grow when you consistently do a thing. Also, I have been able to push past my limit and it amazes me how much you can do when you set your mind to do something.

I begin to see also, the cracks in my character and feel the changes I'm undergoing. I'm not perfect and seeing that I'm growing makes me happy.

Being good at a lot of things can be a blessing and a curse in its own way.

When it comes to choosing what next to do, I always have my mind filled with a lot of things. I'm always stuck either between two or more career choices and sometimes, I find it difficult to just pick out my best strength.

Unlike those people who know what to do, I had and sometimes still have a hard time choosing my path. Being who I am made me want to be so sure of what happens next when the truth is, there are different patterns to a puzzle. You can fix it however way but it still comes out being a complete picture.

Why the long story? Well, I just wanted to state that we may not know what way we want to follow, but trusting that there will always be a way out with God keeps us going.

Never neglect the act of building yourself. God might show you the way to do a thing, but unless you make a move to do it, you never really get it done or amount to much.

And so, after much debate, I had come to the final conclusion to groom myself in design. I've always had a flair for colors and being able to create things differently. Also, when a coursemate of mine asked that I designed something for him, it got me back on track and I just missed how much I used to design.

Going for UI/UX design helps to build my narrative in different ways and I see myself doing great things in that career path. 

Writing is turning out to be a un hobby that helps me express myself more and it's also building my English.

Wow! What a long week and a long write-up for today. Granted, I haven't written for over two days.

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...

Comfort My People, Cry Out To My Flock

 I was having my bible study today, and I came across this Chapter in the book of Isaiah... Tap on the image to listen to my current music playlist while reading What do you want to say? What do they want to hear? There is so much to tell the people of God, so much to tell His children, His flock but only one thing resides in my mind as I write these notes out... I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you and expected end... (Isaiah 55:8) I came across this passage of the bible when I was studying today.  I had questions and needs that I really wanted God to answer and while looking to get the answers to these questions, I found the Lord giving me responsibility and answers for His flock, His children as well. “Comfort, comfort my people,”      says your God. 2  “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone      and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the  Lord  has pu...

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...
