Hi People!
So I decided that I have to resurrect my blog. Mehn, it’s been years. It feels like I don’t own this blog anymore. Well, it’s still mine and I’m happy I can pop in once in a while. I’m hoping to be more consistent here but then again I’m not making any promises (Is someone trying to run away from commitments? lol)
So let’s talk about uncertainties.
Recently, a lot of things have been happening around me. A lady, who woke up happy, and probably updated ‘rise and grind’ on one of her social media pages went to work but unexpectedly returned home early. Why? She lost her job the same day. Very sad. But such unfortunate events happen to people very often. Like they say; ‘life happens’.
Funny thing
is when things like this happen, that’s when those of us not affected remember
to put up a picture on Instagram and caption it “God, forgive me if I asked
more than I thanked you”.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good thing to be thankful but I ask; what if you were the person affected? What if ‘life happens’ to you? What would your reaction be like? Would you still thank God, would you feel like the whole world has crumbled, would you be suicidal? Right now, I hear some of my sprit filled brothers and sisters saying: “I cannot be fired” “I am a child of God”. Lol, I really admire your faith but does it mean that everyone who loses something precious to them are not children of God?
We face
challenges every day. A lot of people more spiritual than you are have lost
things very precious to them and it’s not about how spiritual or close to God
anyone is. Losing one’s job is not something anyone prays for. When I thought
about how my reaction would be like if I lost my job, hmm I realized that I
would have been mad. Mad at myself, mad at God especially and just feel
terrible for daaayyyss. Then I thought about it again. God has a purpose for
everyone and as we say; God works in mysterious ways. It might just be what you
need to take the next major step in your life. I admit it is not an easy thing
to handle but again, just like my mum will say; “Sometimes, if you do not lose
something, you might not know something better is ahead”.
A lot of
people have tied their happiness to material things. Most of us have more faith
in these things than we have faith in God. This is the reason why when we lose
them we get depressed. I’m glad I realised this now.
So this
article is dedicated to those who have lost something precious recently. You probably
think the year started awfully. Yes, the world we live in is not perfect, but
then again, we have a perfect God. Take one day at a time. Worry less. Pray
more. Hope for the best. This might just be a stepping stone for better things
to come. Who knows, by the end of the year, you might be thankful you lost that
thing.
Happy New
Year people! It’s your turn for good things!
