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😌

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
