Healing: One of those moments

Hi friends, It has been a minute. Almost four years, actually. While I am a bit sad that it has taken me so long to start blogging again. I am glad 2024 is having me do all the things I have set my mind to do. Thank you LORD. So recently I had one of "those moments". You know those moments that just take away all the progress you think you have made, and the setback presents itself as painful as thousand needles. Trust me, I am grateful to God. Grateful for saving me from all those near death experiences, taking me out of that life frightening place and gracing me yet with another day to live. I am grateful, I really am. However the life I have suffered to live thereafter sometimes feels like it hasn't found a way to weave back the torn fabrics of my heart.

Decision making: The struggle

"Crying is allright, but eventually you will have to stop and make a decision" There comes a point in our lives where we have to make decisions. Decisions that will decide our future for this life and the life to come. Some decisions are more clearer than others, while others may live you in a state of deep self-doubt. You know that point when you begin to doubt if you even capable, strong enough, mature or wise enough to make the decision. Well I have been through those a couple of times in my life. Feeling like am in the middle of two dark paths in a forest and I have no idea which one will lead me back to the safe house. In fact I went through something like that no so long ago. It felt like am  having a brain freeze when am weighing my options. Considering the decision I had to make, I felt even more lost knowing that I had options. But which was the right one? “The problem, simply put, is that we cannot choose everything simultaneously. So we live in danger of ...
