As I type this, I just finished my devotion, a quick read of my dissertation topic and a quick prayer… Today was a tough one as I prayed to be mentally prepared for what the day might hold, and then boom, the estate gates were shut for the fear of Lagos state invasion (story for another day), first working day, would I start with excuses? As I drove to the gate, I prayed under my breath, Dear God, You know I cannot start my day like this oh, long story short, I got to work quite early, looks like the jolly makers have not resumed and parents are not ready for their children to resume school.

The start of the year is usually one of my favorite, It feels like a clean slate that I have to write on, I usually am determined and ready to roar however this year is different, I had a bit of trepidation, I felt a little uneasy, going through my devotional on allowing the Holy spirit room every day to do his thing, I threw all my trust in Him today to take control, to guide my speech, thoughts, words, I am going to be very intentional about my living today, rewrite the narrative and find joy in even the little things. It might not be easy as when you make up your mind to be a certain way, you find yourself huddling through obstacles so I plan on being intentional.

What is your plan for the first working day of the year? I saw a friend’s post about PTSD for the first working day…. My advice? ride with the waves and trust the Holy Spirit to walk beside you all through the day…#intentionalliving

Yours truly
