A happy new year universeans!!! Just as 2021 closed it’s door, let’s open 2022!…. That’s how doors work right…?!
A lot has happened in the recent years but to be honest a lot has been happening for a very long time for us as individuals and a society. I’ll get a bit personal here coz that’s my truth.. From being brought up in a decent home, went to a normal school in a normal suburb and went to church. Like any normal household. However, something was always amiss.. Always a lack within.
So, I dug deeper growing up finding God, others turn away from God while others turn to alcohol, drugs or something outside to fill that void. I chose to find God. Yes I had my party days in between, I was far from perfect. We can never be perfect that’s the whole plan. “More on that in another issue.”
Fast forward, I got married, lived in a foreign country that had restrictions for me and had a baby that grounded me even more. Found a church, did Bible study, studied Bible on my own but that “thing” kept nudging maan..! I didn’t know what it was.. I lived OK, hated nobody, had normal life issue but inside…, something was lacking. I have always been a talker and always asked questions but again growing up in an African home you spoke when spoken to regarding some issues and u listened to your elders and teachers etc. Little to no room was left to ask! Most can relate.
Years later I’m on the internet, YouTube. Just scrolling, I’m listening to some funny stuff, some recipes, hillsong (of course), some TD Jake’s here some pastor there. Then, I ventured into some guy talking about the universe. In my head I’m going, ‘heii’ people! But it keeps popping up and the one time I’m Iike you know what, Let’s hear this out! See, the thing is, as a good Christian you do not allow stuff to influence you, but that can be a bad thing because you don’t know what else is out there and it’s not all bad.
So, I listened and boy!!!! This is how I can explain how it felt ‘ say you have an itch on your back and nothing you do helps then someone just comes, scratches you just where the itch was.. It felt sooo good.. U smile and say ohhhh thank you!! You had no idea how much I needed that!
That’ thing’ was gone and replaced with the need to know more.. Like a veil lifted and now I could see.. I had to start relearning things. Still am. I don’t have an issue with Christianity, but it stripped me of things. Me personally, as I cannot speak for another. Follow and read as I will go into more details in the next articles..
Ta for now… Peace and love.
I identify as human. A mom, a sister and a friend. Other than that you can say I’m an Entrepreneur. Im passionate about life, enjoy music, a good book and food. I believe that the best things in life don’t involve career or location, that can be great but I strive to keep my grass green just where I am.
Let’s have a journey together and make the life we have now count.
