Life and Me... Memoirs of a church girl

Even though this post is several years due it still holds true today, As we come to the end of the first half of an amazing year,  there are many things to be grateful for.  In a place where there is a lot of uncertainty, what you have inside is what remains the most constant part. As a country, as a world, as individuals, there has been a lot of learning and unlearning, growing, pruning and changing. In many areas of our lives, there has been many seasons. But top of my list is gratitude. I just looked at my to do list for this year and I almost chuckled out loud because it seemed like a lofty dream in another life. I started taking mental note and I am not the same person that started the year. Birthday season 2018  I once heard that as you grow and evolve, your preferences evolve and I noticed that at the beginning of the year there are alot of things I wanted to do but they were not properly articulated but they got done just not the way I expect...

Hey guys, *dusting cobwebs*  Yeah it has been a long break. I missed writing. So for sometime i have been feeling dull and honestly not the 'everybody hates me, nobody likes me kind'. But the 'we are on the grind, we are fast and furious' but at the close of work, the to do list still has many unchecked to dos and you go 'well i can't deal'. This is then followed by the 'one day at a time' thing to 'just live in the moment' and wham! a month has gone and you have not really moved. The worst hit was my fellowship. Yeah i'm in church, yeah i work but in the edge of my wrapper (if you have an African granny that ties wrapper you will know that's where all the good stuff is) i had nothing new just recycled stuff. So i saw this  Joyce Meyer  3030 challenge , i signed up and hoped for the best. I knew there was a but when i did not sign up for the daily reminder but the weekly one ( unread inbox message troubles don't ask)...

Today i choose to wait       It may not be the popular or conventional choice,  but your plan Q is far better than my plan A** anyday. Today i choose to hope       It can only be delayed it can never be denied.  It is within your power to turn things around in my favour. Today i choose to love,        Its only in His nature that I can understand His fullness and  live the life He has called me to. Tempest raging, fires flaring with earnest yearning, I wait for your salvation.  You are the anchor to my soul, my hope and stay.                                                                        - Me. Had quite a number of pendulum moments this weekend and I had to keep reminding myself that head or tail I win not because I can, ...

So i love looking at wedding pictures. For me its a beautiful thing to see all the effort put into creating new beginnings.  Particularly love wedding photographers because you must be a beautiful person to be able to capture most of the emotions that go into the whole event.  The way it is solemn and beautiful at the same time, the exchange of vows, the preparation to lose yourself and identity to someone else.  The selflessness of being willing to share your life with someone that you have no guarantee will turn out alright but you just believe that as long as there's you it is fine.  The loss of a parent that gives away a child, you can never tell if your child just brought home a paedophile or an insane person and is passing some weird heritage into your lineage, i mean their children will be your grandchildren. But you have to trust that on the dark and gloomy days they will have each other and they will be enough. The couple that says the vo...
