Balance

Hey Sharing Life fam! 

Legit, I think I need to find a cool intro for you all. I almost always struggle to find the words. But, vim dey!  

Today's post is me thinking out loud... you know... 

I have seen that in life, if I don't make a conscious decision to focus on the things that truly matter, I will live but not live at all. 

I must admit, and thank God I know, that for the longest time, I have been the girl who can easily put her plans and pursuits on the side burner while actively pursuing another person's vision.

I have noticed that if I do not properly and intentionally balance the various facets of my life, I will be a success on one side and not do so well on another side. 

Yes, God forbid, we rebuke it and all but the thing is, there is or are actions to be taken in order for these things not to happen. 

Trust me, a good number of people will hardly tell you to get a life or to find balance especially when your "imbalance" favours them. That, my friends, is the unfortunate truth. 

So, what am I saying? 

It has become apparent to me that I must come to terms with this: life is moving; so long as I keep growing, there are going to be responsibilities and things calling for my attention. Sadly, it isn't going to get any less busy. This means that the sooner I start prioritizing the things that serve purpose and help me respond to the call of God for me, regarding purpose, the better. 

Then again, I'm wondering: is this just me thinking out loud. But, I want to know: is it just me who is experiencing this or I'm not alone? Let me know...

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes

February 17th - ...but We used to be friends....

Have you ever felt tears well up in your chest so hard and heavy that you know you could easily burst into heaves of tears in any given moment? I had one of such moments today.  The first reading at Mass today was from the Book of Jeremiah 17:5-8 and there is a portion that talks about how accursed is the man who puts his trust in man and in his own strength. It talks about the dryness such a man encounters and how this man will never see prosperity.  I was convicted by this Scripture because it showed so clearly that the condition of my heart has been like one of such a man. Why am I saying so? Aside getting my second degree, I am trying to be intentional about my Spiritual growth and about music ministry in church. Basically, I am trying to be intentional about becoming.  ("Becoming" is the expression I give to my quest to attain my fullest expression as His daughter).  ...but that has just been the problem... "I am trying to become"  Having th

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing,  especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely.  After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means:  if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure.  I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be unable to repay us
