2023 was one of the toughest year I have had to face as an adult with a family of my own.
When I decided to leave my job and go back to school, I had my plans all laid out, I knew how and what I wanted, even the best laid out plan could go awire with circumstances beyond your control so I depended on the one who doesn’t change when other things Change. I tell you for free that God held my hand, even through days I didn’t want to be held, I just wanted to wallow in self pity and cry, he held my hand.
I am not perfect, made countless mistakes this year but one thing I am very sure of is God’s love for me, He never failed to remind me. My biggest lesson this year is waiting in God’s timing, as an impatient person (saying this without pride) I know waiting can be tiring but I learnt to wait cos when it is Gods time even the things that seem impossible before becomes possible.
With the UK immigration policies changing at everything turn, my only hope was God, I needed to still my heart and stop worrying about things I cannot change. Instead trust the WayMaker.
Trust, Resilience and Patience are the things I have learnt the most this year. I am hoping to continue in the learning curve on these 3 things and probably add a fourth which is Trust in God.
If I take stock of the things that have happened in my life, I know God’s hands is upon my life and for that I am truly grateful.
This girl is grateful, I’ll. My promise for 2024 is more writing.
