I wanted to write this post before 2015 ended but I guess I got caught up in the festivities.....Here are a few lessons I learned in 2015 that for me will set the foundation for me in 2016...
On My Christian Walk.....
It was the year where my faith was tested...from praying for a job and seeing nothing happen ...to being reminded that Christ is my sole provider..not a job..nothing else but Him....
It is the year where I was convicted about sharing Christ every opportunity that I get because time is running out and my key mission on this earth as a Christian is to preach Christ with my words and actions...there were days I couldn't get the courage to share Christ but He gave me other chances for me to step up....you see, I learned that if I deny Him before men,,,He will deny me in front of the Father..I shouldn't just have Him in my heart but share Him out and win more souls for Him...the calling is bigger than me and it will mean me losing my life for the sake of the gospel...
On family...
It was the year I was taught on honoring my mother more....learning to speak her love language which is acts of service despite me not wanting to at times....you see my blessings lie with her...she is my first ministry before I go out to the world..she must see Christ in me....my family is the first ministry and I learned to listen to God on how to treat my family...
I finally forgave my relatives after 15 years of holding on to a grudge that I never knew I had until God showed me....I learned to love..
On love.....
It was the year I must say I grew in love with my best friend....I got to know him better and to grow in friendship with him....God convicted me of the many times I would see the mistakes in him instead of perfecting the love I have for him....It is the year I learned what it means to love deliberately even when the emotions go...to love unconditionally.....
On friendships.....
It was the year that God convicted me of being more of a taker than a giver in my friendships....It was the year where I learned how to be considerate of others and sincerely love others...
It was the year that God taught me to go on my knees for my friends.....
It was the year that God showed me who to keep in my life and who to let go without being bitter...
It was the year that I learned I have to be deliberate to make the friendships I have work and give more...
On my career...
It was the year that God opened unexpected doors for me, that led me to see where my passion really lies...
At the beginning of 2015 I felt like I did not have the necessary skills and capability to achieve all that I wanted to achieve but through the opportunities that God opened for me....He showed me that I am more than capable and I am more than able....
I got to meet amazing mentors in my line of work who have mentored me to where I am now...
For the first time since I started working I had a clear vision of where I want to be in the next 5 years....
On physical fitness...
I started the year on a high note..I would eat drink sleep exercises....then my time became limited and I had to cut down on the training...then came asthma and I had to really cut down...
I learned that working out is 20% and eating is 80%...I learned to watch my diet ...despite falling off the wagon a few times.....
It takes a lot of discipline to achieve the goals that you have in terms of fitness...ALOT of discipline...
On Finances......
It was the year where I got to earn more than I did and spent more than I should have....despite me getting an accountability partner and trying...I always made the wrong choices with my finances...
I learned it takes more than wishing and praying for me to get to where I want to be financially meaning I will have to be more disciplined and invest in learning about financial management...
If I am not faithful with the little then how can I expect God to bless me with more?
