End of year blog - Let God in

This is my last blog of the year and I just want to start off by thanking everyone who has taken the time to read my blogs, even if it was just some of them. I also want to thank those who have promoted my blogs and sent the link for others to read. I am so thankful for all the support. I started this year with so much other goals in mind and writing was definitely not one of them, as some of you may know. Despite of that, I am now on my 15th blog! The encouragement has been amazing so thank you again 😊

We’re coming towards the end of the year now and I hope you have had a great one! I hope you have reached all your goals for this year and more. If not, I hope this blog will give you the encouragement and the strength you need to keep on going, keep pushing for a better 2022.

This year for me, has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Full of emotions. I’ve been happy, confused, sad, overwhelmed etc. I would say the year of 2021 was the year of: ‘Finding Myself.’ Finding what really works for me, finding where I want to be in life, finding what the best career path is for me, finding where I fit, finding what I love, finding out more of who I am, finding my purpose. It’s been an overwhelming journey for me as I felt I was heading in all different directions, trying to find where I belong.

However, despite all the emotions that I felt this year, 2021 has been good to me and I can only thank God for that. He has shown me more of who I am and I love the woman that I am becoming. Doors opened for me this year. I experienced new, fun things this year. I fell out with a friend that I have known practically my whole life, but the result of that was gaining a new friend who I now see as one of my closest people. I have learnt so much more about myself. I’ve seen my growth, I’ve matured in so many ways. My mindset continues to grow by the day. I don’t tolerate the things that I once use to. I’m so much more focused on the things that are important for my growth and development.

I’ve achieved so much this year by allowing God into my life and letting him use me and direct my path. In spite of the confusion and the overwhelming emotions I faced this year, God was working things out for my good and is continuing to do so even as I write this. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason even if I don’t fully understand it, because I have faith and I know that God has a plan for my life. An amazing plan beyond my imagination at that! Despite the times I felt a little frustrated and felt I was at a standstill a lot this year, things came together in the end.

I became a blog writer, I passed my theory test and my driving test all in the space of a year, put down a deposit for my first ever car. I began my new role in the medical field, I started and completed my Phlebotomy course that goes hand in hand with my new job role and I finally had my graduation ceremony after a whole year of graduating due to COVID-19.

Funny enough this wasn’t all the goals I had written down at the beginning of the year. I remember literally writing a list of things in January and sticking it on my board. Now fast forward to December, some of those goals that I wrote earlier this year I don’t even want anymore. It goes to show that when you allow God into your life things can turn around for the better. Things you thought you once wanted, you don’t anymore because better opportunities have come along. Amazing things happen. Miracles happen. Blessings happen. You just have to invite God in. His will for your life is so much better than our own will and plans.

Let God use you in 2022.

Stay Blessed x

Change

In life there is always going to be change whether we like it or not. Seasons change, your circle of friends change, your surroundings change, you even change. Your mindset elevates, you develop a better understanding of certain things that you couldn’t quite comprehend before.   Change is all apart of life. It is inevitable. Even though we don’t see it at the time, change helps us as individuals to develop into the person we are called to be. It pushes us closer to our purpose. Change is necessary for growth.  However, change doesn’t always feel good and can be looked at in a negative light. Sometimes we don’t like change, especially when we’re comfortable. Change removes that feeling of comfort, it removes that feeling of certainty and stability. Change is unknowing and can create feelings of anxiety and worrisome. Change is something that happens daily but can be very hard to cope with.  Though change can be an uncomfortable experience, it is essential. We may not understand why cer

Rejection is redirection

So we are almost 6 months into the year 2021! Crazy how times flies. To whoever is reading this. I hope this year so far has been nothing but a blessing to you. I know it’s been a hard start to the year concerning covid, however, now that everything has slowly eased, I hope you’re making the most out of it. I hope you’re enjoying yourself to the fullest and making every single day count. I hope you’re still working on the goals you set for yourself at the start of the year, and I hope you’re achieving them or will achieve them soon!   This year for me so far involves, having as much fun as possible whilst figuring out the best pathway for me. Since the beginning of the year I’ve had to make really important decisions for myself. I really did think I finally had it all planned out with deciding to go to Eastbourne, work and continue my studies (please read my first blog: “2021 the year of allowing God to work in my life”) but as we know life has a funny way of doing what it does best; “

Don't settle for average

  I talk to God almost every single day and one of my main prayer request of recent has been for God to reveal to me why I am here. What is my purpose? What is my calling? It’s good to have things going for you, opportunities coming your way, doors opening, but it means nothing if God is not behind it. It means nothing if it’s not in Gods will for you. It’s not fully clear what Gods will for each individual is but what we do know is that God has a plan for us all and he wants us to prosper. He won’t leave us to figure it out on our own, he will direct us. What I’ve realised is that when it comes to God revealing things to us he shows it one step at a time. Therefore, we just have to keep praying to him, seeking him and letting him lead the way for us. Taking the days as they come and thanking him for it. I don’t want my successes or my achievements to be worthless. I want God to be behind and for everything that I choose to do, that is why I pray. Not long after that prayer request
