Hellooooo February, I did just say Happy New Year so I'm slightly surprised as to how February came about. However, I'm extremely grateful to have entered this month. I do apologise for my absence during January as I had some familial issues to attend to, but I'm back.
Moving on, I've decided to take account of lessons I learn each month, whether it be one or two things and I definitely want to share this with you.
1. I don't need to know somebody's full story or be in their story to help.I'll explain what it is that I mean. At one point I felt guilty for not having been around as much as I wanted to in regards to a few people so I was reluctant to help spontaneously or even when asked. The reality is you can't be there consistently for every single person you desire to be there for, so the best thing is to give what you can and when you can.
2. God's will is ALWAYS good but very hard. If anybody disagrees it's obvious that they haven't read their bible properly and they possibly don't follow God themselves. I've had to realise this in a harsh way but like I said God's will is always good.
3. My gift is to make people laugh and forget their troubles for a split second. I think I've always known that I can change the atmosphere of a place but this month it became more of a reality so I've decided to use it more often!
4. Things you did last year and worked, cannot always be applied to this year. Let me give you an example, last year I started a bible study plan and it worked wonders. It was amazing, I read my bible, studied it regularly and I totally enjoyed my time with the Lord in personal Bible study. However, I tried to follow the same format this year and I flopped on day 2 of 2014 through to day 7. I had to ask the Holy Spirit what the problem was and He explained that the previous method was for 2013 and that I need a new method for 2014. As silly as it may appear, another method for the same thing will produce different results and this is what I'm beginning to understand and implement.
5. Being there for someone is very challenging and takes a lot of strength. It is very rewarding but it can take a toll on you as an individual. It is definitely not for the faint hearted might I add. I'm praying that God will continually give me grace in this aspect as I know that as a lady, it is almost automatically wired in me to provide a shoulder for someone to lean on.
6. 2014 feels to me like 2013+1, not a new beginning but just a continuation. I have my personal reasons for saying this. My new year actually began in February lol. Life aye..
7. ADULTHOOD IS HARD. CAN I BE 12 AGAIN PLEASE?!
Here's my list and I'll be carrying this on throughout the year
What are the things you learnt in the month of January?
Till we meet again
