CHANGE (A NEW LIFE)

Today my new life begins, Today I have agency. The power to choose right from wrong, the knowledge of Good and Evil. Today I Make a Change, a change that's going to have a huge impact in my life. A change that's going to bring my more joy more joy slogan I've been saying and seeking for so long. Today I'm going to be a new born baby well in Christ though. At first I wasn't sure about it, I hated change....I'm the type that would like to stick to the old things than to make a change, thinking of how scary it will be when I change things. I wasn't comfortable with the 'thing will never be the same' idea. I remember Elder Reid saying 'some change is good and this particular change you making is going to bring you blessings, joy and peace. Elder Merrill said some years back if I told you how I lived my life and now I'm here in Ghana on a mission you won't believe me and trust me I didn't have an idea of what that change they were talking about because I still wasn't ready to listen and make that change. Gradually I opened my heart to the teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Elder Reid and Elder Merrill had for me. I loved and still love the scripture teachings my two missionaries taught me. I know the truth and I'm not mad at God anymore. I Believe in the Heavenly Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and Today it is in their name that I'll get to be baptise in The Church Of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints. I'll tell you all about my baptism, experience so far, my life, missionaries etc later! PEACE

REDEMPTION

Life challenges are definitely not fun but its super worth it. if someone told me I would be saying the “worth it” part, I would stand up and point them out. This particular post marks the end of my writing for 2017; I couldn’t get much done anyway (in terms of writing).   I can’t say it’s my best year yet but I can definitely say it’s the year that has really taught me so many things about myself. it taught me acceptance, letting go and most importantly patience. I found myself getting to know more about God and His ways of doing things for my own good. The first few months was very difficult for me. I was struggling to find my feet and to put me first. I had a few setbacks here and there. I kept holding on to things I thought I deserved then. I leaned on my own understanding to get things done; thereby beating myself up when things didn’t go as I wanted. In all I count myself lucky because now I strongly know and believe that all the things I went through was ...

SHED A TEAR

I want to shed a tear, For how I've been made, For how life has treated me. I want to shed a tear, For the chances I've missed, For the times I've wasted. I want to shed a tear, For my poor heart, For how many times it has been broken, For so many years of waiting for something real. I want to shed a tear, For my life, For how 24 years of emptiness has been, For the love and peace there will never be. I want to shed a tear, For the people I've met, For how selfish they have been, For taken me for granted, For draining my soul and energy. I want to shed a tear, For me, For all the things I've lost, For my father, For how distance has separated us. I want to shed a tear, For the baby sister I never had, For walking alone in this world, For not being able to read the note I wrote to her, For dreaming about you everyday, For accepting that there will never be you. I want to shed a tear, For love, For all the men I've lost...

THE GRACE OF GOD

A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. I never wanted to get my picture taken because I knew I had packed on some weight. There came in the comments from my course mates telling me how fat I’ve gotten and so on. Some even went to the extent of saying I’m not coming to class because I said I’ve gained weight; that was sad.  The comments they passed did hurt but it didn’t motivate me to change my lifestyle. As time went by, I got so used to their fat body shaming and comments. But what they didn’t know was the fact that I had already given up on myself: so nothing they said was actually going to push me to change. Even with that I’ll start eating healthy for a minute, hit the gym and give up on that same week. Until my course mate took a picture of me when I wasn’t looking after I had instructed him not to take any picture of me.  A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. My first look at the pictur...
