FRIENDSHIP DEFINED





On July 13th i wrote a piece titled "i will give me a flower too when i am not okay". On the piece i explain moments that taught me i cannot be present for everyone while absent for me, simply because we need to be giving what we possess. I am learning that to be a good friend to others you must understand what that means from being that to yourself every time, all the times. Life, seasons and situations are a practical class providing me an opportunity to keep on trying. The class bring different experiences each day, what makes being part of the space beautiful is patience and kindness are the authenticity. Its a love process, mindful or not everything done in love it is done right, not perfect but right.
 
This morning i was reflecting on the qualities of a good friendship. The first question that came to mind was "are you always there for yourself, all the times"? Presence plays a huge role, especially when there is necessity, when it matters the most. Good friendships are founded on love and patience is the virtue. I was drawn to the Kind of friendship with God, there is endless love, kindness and patience, even when things are ugly. 
 
2 Timothy 3:16 says " the word is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong". This is my relationship with the Lord, its strongly held on the truth and sometimes the truth is heavy when i am wrong, unfair or disobedient. But every time He corrects me He does it with love and kindness. Because of the nature of our relationship, i can listen and trust His correction. He celebrates every good thing with me, on ugly moments He sticks around holding my hand.

Daddy teaches me how to be a good, loving, kind friend to me, then others in my life. I will always be a learner and that's enough for me because i always need my teacher. This is friendship defined!

Being physically, mentally and socially fit

 Staying healthy is about being physically, mentally and socially fit. I have been feeling extremely tired lately, everyone at work is huffing and puffing internally as we throw around the word "pushing" when we greet and pass by the corridors. At first i was convinced the pills am taking my body is now rejecting, i am now relieved it is what everyone is feeling and not my treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. One of these past days i woke up feeling super uncomfortable    my body was giving close to crippled bro. My reasoning behind this is most joints on my body are inflamed so my body is taking a hit. Health issues plus work can be a dead end.  Listen, I have seborrheic dermatitis, I always had it I just thought i just struggle with dandruff. I was totally unaware it’s a “skin health condition “. Now it’s on my face (foreheads , brows, side of my nose and chin) and chille… it is currently flaring, the itch is so uncomfortable. I need to visit a dermatologist very so...

A gruesome morning A courageous day

It is the night of the 11th of February i get into bed i set my alarm for 4am. An hour earlier than usual because i intend to clean my house before i go to work so that when i return i am only faced with laundry for a chore. I lay down and sleep, i wake up the Lord is still sustaining me. However, i feel close to crippled. My body screams 'today is so impossible!'  I get up regardless and decide to eat a bit so i can stomach the medication and give my body 30 more minutes of rest.  I usually refuse to take meds as prescribed; two to three times a day instead i take them once in the evening to avoid complete dependency on the medication. This morning is different and calls for desperate measures. It is 4;30 am i decide to make my bed and activate my plan. I do so as i give thanks to God and express my hurt at the same time. I obviously question when is the end ever coming. I give thanks again for all i have and am able to do. like hope, like resilience, like peace while i ackno...

Another way to explain my excitement

I am so excited that Mpoomy Ledwaba released a book. My girl did it! Now what’s left is for me to get my hands on it. My excitement comes from reflecting on when I started watching her YouTube videos, back when she first began on the red app. She has matured in business, relationships, and as an individual. It is inspiring and a reminder of my own potential for success. I am a girl’s girl, and I love to see girls grow and succeed. Another way to explain my excitement is that she’s the kind of person who reminds me of my own anointing. Story time So yesterday, I spent two hours in the presence of my Father, talking to Him and picking His brain. I felt so much inner peace and strength; I felt happy and liberated. I learned a lot from just three points, but I will mention two of these lessons summarized into quotes. Feel free to dissect them and interpret them as applicable to your own personal experiences. - When I am faced with a situation that tempts me to ask, “What is the point?” may...
