Finding My Why






The constant noise and distractions, make it difficult to embrace life.
The busyness is drowning out the love, peace and joy that I have yet to notice.
The softness of His touch and the gentleness in His spirit patiently awaits.
The human mind can never be satisfied
And is always hungry for more and the thirst has yet to be quenched.

I am in search of something that fills my voids.
The stuff of the world gave me a temporary high
But soon depleted, leaving me to wander alone.
I am running on empty,
As I have yet to find my why.

I can hear the delicate breeze of life that tells me I am alive or am I?
The strife has become embedded in my DNA,
It made it hard not to cave in.
I saw the problems and not the possibilities,
The bareness and not the beauty,
The lifelessness and not the Light.
I desired for a solitude that allows me to escape.

I am so shattered in my spirit that I failed to see the glimmer of Light,
Which entered my soul, igniting that fire to fight for life.
This led me down on a journey to find Him and
I picked up a book that ultimately changed my life.
It is difficult, if not impossible to come from a place
That we learn from our past,
Until we are healed from the inside out.

I needed something that was always right beside me and us all.
The One that gave and sacrificed for the love of his creation
And to save future generations from the same fate of pain.
He so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.
Reconciliation turns scars into strength that persists
Through life’s hurt and challenges as the One gives Hope

Renewing the spirit to be at peace with the past, so that I can
Embrace the present and find my why. 
In the hope that I leave the world

In a better place than I found it.

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 ...
