#EasterMessage #Inspired #Jesus came to give us #life in spite of our circumstances

Hello

Thank you for stopping by.
I hope you had a lovely Easter with family and friends.
This week’s post has been inspired by an Easter Sermon, link below & enjoy!

We are all a product of our choices or choices of someone else……………………………………

The above words hit a raw nerve with me, my dysfunctional childhood has set off a chain reaction of consequential events that may not have happened had I not being born into this family. The reality is that I have and I need to work with what I got and not work with what I should have got.

The truth is that we are all born into something that isn't quite desirable & it’s only when we come to the Lord we begin real healing & renewal of our minds. Jesus came so we can all have life, in spite of our circumstances.

The word injustice echoed in my thoughts and I could really identified with the testimony of pain & despair in the ongoing abuse I suffered. I don’t think of the childhood mental and emotional abuse so much but it was the workplace abuse & mistreatment was more poignant- I guess with all the policies and procedures in place one would have thought that these professional settings should be free from such dysfunction but it was anything but. I was disappointed that the one thing that kept me sane all these years, had a lethal potential to turn me insane-I do believe there is a correlation between narcissist behavioural tendencies & abuse. The patterns of tendencies operates/ intertwines with abusiveness that has the potential to turn destructive & destroy ones well-being.

Everything happens for a reason……………………………………………………………………

Trusting your journey & be directed not self-directed- for example, when I left that dire job it was well thought out and I made the decision naturally i.e.. it has come to an end & the realization there has to be more to life than this = hope & faith is the by-products of actions (see an earlier post). I didn't fight the fight i.e.. as time gone on it was clear that it was beyond economical repair & rather than fight this fact- I went with it and made my exit despite how uncomfortable it was.

My life has been transformed on an unbelievable scale and I cannot wait to see what the future holds, for the first time I am actually excited about what life has to offer and that all started with me embracing change and trusting the process. Yes I have a lot less money now but my sanity is not for sale & it has taught me a very important lesson which is to live fearlessly.  

Now my daughter has her mother back, meaning I have the freedom to put her first- truly put her first because I put myself first in leaving that job & keeping safe. The freedom is truly liberated to not be subjected to petty narcissist behavioural tendencies. 

I want to close with an encouraging thought I received via #facebook:

Best of luck to you with your venture smile emotion. Being committed for the long haul & staying creative despite what's thrown at you, in my opinion, is key! I've came up with great ideas I never thought would cross my mind to overcome obstacles & keep moving forward-JK. 

Best of luck in your own journey

Highly Effective People Strives For Excellence

Hello I hope you enjoyed the last 2 special blog posts about Parentalk and Abuse. I felt it was important for me to use this platform to raise awareness on topics that could make a positive impact on future generations. This week is back to talking about life, inspiration, motivation and ideas-this post was actually inspired by a rather dysfunctional event. Every day we have many distractions, which can keep us from our destiny if we chose to be consumed by it.  Our dreams has to be bigger than our current reality to cause us not to sweat the smaller stuff and that involves letting some things or people go. The difference between effective and not-effective people is how we chose to channel it. Below is how (after the initial annoyance) I done it. Just to put this into context- the individual(s) concerns were unable to take accountability for their actions / errors, instead what I observed was a misuse of power and the slow demise of an outdated organisation. Enjoy...

A book review – Part One - Dealing with Disappointment by John Hindley

This book was a relatively easy read with the simple idea that leaves you to question: is life just one big disappointment?  In many ways it does seem so; the author delves into different areas of disappointment in our lives. I suspect most if not all are relatable to everyone. Firstly, the author says we actually should be disappointed by life, as things are not as good as they should be. We live in a frustrated and frustrating world; the frustration is because of the fallen world when sin entered humanity. We all carry this divinely inbuilt sense that the world should and could be better. The book goes on to say that on the other hand, we are sometimes too disappointed with life.  We expect satisfaction from other areas of lives to overcompensate for this.  When this satisfaction is denied, it starts an over-disappointed cycle. For example, I came across a thread where the mum wrote in and expressed disappointment in her children’s grades, which led her to ques...

A seemingly insignificant act has the potential to change the world...

I loved learning about the story of Reformation Day. The significance centres on how the Bible became accessible for everyone to read - historically the general public wasn’t allowed to read it, only priests or those considered anointed within the church were allowed to read it. The priests read the Bible in Latin, so for most people, it wasn’t even possible to read it. God’s word was entrusted into the hands of those in power, who were deemed qualified to understand it.  What the priests were teaching, was not actually in line with what the Bible said, as one monk, called Martin Luther found out. He started to read the Bible for himself out of pure frustration.  According to the teachings of the priests, believing in God seem to be just to be an endless set of rules and it left him feeling as if he could never be good enough for God. Little did he know at the time, he was about to birth a revolution that quite literally changed the world. This set him on a path of ...
