Hello! 😃
Can you believe that the New Year is literally 1 day away? Sounds so crazy and surreal but yes guys, it really is just 1 day away!!! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I remember when 2017 just started. I was really apprehensive and had no clue of what to expect. Actually, I would like to think of myself as pretty organised, so not knowing what to expect was massively daunting. I became a mum for the 1st time on Jan 26th this year. As excited as I was, I had no idea what parenting was going to be like… I had too many questions! In addition, my contract with my job had ended so I had no job to go back to after my maternity leave. Plus, the maternity leave money was next to nothing. (How were we going to pay our bills on just one salary and Maternity leave allowance?) I had so many questions and didn’t know how we were going to get through the year.
But… somehow we did and now looking back, I’m so thankful and in complete awe of how everything just worked itself out! I want to tell you 10 things I’m leaving behind in 2017! Are you ready?!! 😃 Right, here I go:
1. DOUBT – You’ve got to learn to trust God. He knows your end! I had to learn and embrace that just this year. Trust me, faith in God is way easier than doubting everything.
2. FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN – Not knowing where you are going can be so scary. You can’t see clearly nor discern properly. But God held my hand through the year and he will do the same for you and guide you through 2018 if you let him.
3. MY OWN UNDERSTANDING – It’s really easy to try and figure things out according to what you know. Truth is, our minds are so limited. The Bible teaches us not to ‘lean on our own understanding’ but to trust in the Lord with all our heart. My Maternity leave ended in August 2017 and I got a new job in September. Can you imagine I didn’t even apply for it! God is amazing. Deffo will be holding on, ever so tightly, to the Word of God in 2018.
4. LACK OF VISION – Shortsightedness really limits what you can do and where you can go. I will be taking off the brakes and going for it all! If I can dream it – I can make it happen.
5. HESITATION – This really caused me to delay so many things and subsequently, I missed so many opportunities. Will be taking my open doors by the horns!
6. NEGATIVE THOUGHTS – The mind is such a powerful place but you have control over what runs through it! I will take back control of my mind through the Word of God and speak what the Word says about me. I’m more than a conqueror!
7. NEGATIVE PEOPLE – Hmmm, every negative person will be left behind. Your company determines your output as your character is shaped by those who you are around the most. I’m not sorry for this one, bye bye!
8. LAZINESS – Less unnecessary rest/sleep and more productivity!
9. ATTENTION TO NONSENSE – People will always talk. They talk if you gain weight or loose weight, if you talk too much or say very little, show much appreciation or none at all, if you eat meat or are a vegan…. Shallow people are NEVER satisfied. What they say shouldn’t matter!
10. UNFORGIVENESS – I choose to forgive all who have offended me knowingly or unknowingly. I don’t want to go into 2018 with a heavy heart. I want to be free to be me.
I hope that caused you to reflect on your year also! Let’s enter the new year together with a positive outlook.✨✨✨ Happy New Year in advance! ✨✨✨
