2014: THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE BEST TIMES



 From being super stressed because of NYSC to Clocking 21 last week Thursday to planning a party get-together ; trust me, my week was super packed and I only just got time to settle down and put up  blog posts from the many sitting in drafts. I'd try my best to publish all before the new Year! 

I got this Tee as a birthday present and it inspired this post. The good and best times of 2014 outweighed the bad times and I can only look back and say a massive THANK YOU to God for everything. 

In a nutshell... 

GOOD TIMES:- Waking up each day || Graduating with  2:1 B.sc degree in Economics and making my parents proud || Finally getting a dslr camera! 

BAD TIMES :- Finding it hard to say no to depressing thoughts  which also affected the blog || Final year project hassle but I thank God for turning everything to a testimony for me per usual!

BEST TIMES: Overcoming the fear of failure through God's Love ||Turning 21|| Vera and Violets wedding! 



I think this is also the appropriate post to share the things I learned in 2014 as I've been writing them down since July so here goes... 

After graduating in June, I was ready to take on the world but then God pulled me back and it was then I learned my first lesson  MAN PROPOSES BUT GOD DISPOSES. I've heard that line used more often than not but I took it for granted till I experienced it first handI had a super long list of things I wanted to do after graduation, where I wanted to work, the places I wanted to go, what I wanted this blog to look like, Funny how I never thought of what God wanted. I'm still learning to take things in stride and not get ahead of myself, most importantly, to not get ahead of God.

I also learned that PATIENCE IS KEY  I wrote so much on that HERE and HERE


More Lessons...

+ To dance in the rain because if I keep waiting for the storm to pass I might have to wait a while.
+ To Live within my means
+ To Go where the Love is ; not everyone would Love me but I should appreciate and stick to those who do
+ I can never invest in myself enough
+ To follow my dreams because the literally are not going to give up following me
+ Rejection is inevitable but persistence is key
+ When you judge people, you leave no room in your heart to Love them.
+ To stop letting rock bottom be my teacher
+ "Comparison is the Thief of Joy!" It really is.

  1. This really got to me *when you judge people,you leave no room in your heart to love em* I don't know you but I'm proud of you. The fact you are just 21 and this wise is just so cool, I know so many peeps in their 20s that I can't even stand cos they act so childish and have loose tongues. God's plan is always the best. Keep it up dear

  2. Awww, congrats to you on your graduation!
    I wonder why I didn't know you then during the final year stress and "what ifs".
    I have s soft spot for those who have a tough time mostly with the grades cuz I had small issues of faith before I got my 2:1 too.
    Glad you graduated on top!

    And oh, that's my biggest lesson for 2014 too.
    I can't plan what I want to and leave God aside. I have to follow after His will,not mine.
    When I learnt this, my prayer point changed.
    It was hard for me to drop my own mind set for God's plans, but it's always worth it.

    I transcribed Nathaniel Bassey's message on the will of God for everyone because I thought the will of God is something that all believers should all understanding. You can check and read it on my blog, I have no doubt that it will be of help to you.

    Cheers!
