It’s good to be back, and I know you would like to know what happened to cause me to stay away for so long.
Before I delve into it, I would like to know how you all are doing. It’s been a truly trying year for everyone in all facets of life – personal development, family, relationships, health, career, finance, fun/joy, and faith. Many people have passed away, whilst some others have become despondent and are trying to find some meaning in their lives.
Whatever the situation, please hang in there and know that God alone has all the answers. Nothing surpasses him. Trust him.
In my case, I’ve had difficulties in personal development, family, and finances. Some issues are still ongoing, and I’m basically trusting God for the solution. If there’s one thing I do know, it’s the fact that the devil and his cohorts always want us to either regret our decisions OR to abandon our faith and trust that God will come through.
In the area of my finances, due to the prevalent situation worldwide – Inflation, high cost of living and the like. When the blog turned 5 this year, on several occasions, I was asked by a select few, why I choose to blog at a premium when I can do so for less on facebook. You see the main reason why I hardly disclose this area is because, the last thing I want to give you all the impression that I am seeking for assistance. Please note that I’m not doing so. I’m simply sharing issues that hindered me from blogging.
Every time I got the above feedback from others, my inner self would remind me that “No successful life exists without sacrifice”. Especially when you choose to impact people’s lives. The Apostle Paul is testament to this fact. He wrote the epistles and made tents to support himself in his ministry.
However, some of you would recall that I mentioned months back that I was having writer’s block. It was at this period that I received the feedback to close the blog with such intensity. As usual, various thoughts went through my mind. Could this be the right decision? especially since I wasn’t blogging and hadn’t done so steadily due to writer’s block.
I actually did succumb due to the pressure on my finances. I chose not to renew my hosting plan and after a month, thinking the blog had been wiped out, I decided to put a call through to ask, and was informed that the account was still active and that a renewal would cause it to become “Live” once more. So here we are….
The mere fact that my write-up blesses and impacts your lives gives me much satisfaction. Also, writing is a key part of me and is one hobby that helps relieve me of stress.
Regarding the area of self-development, let’s just say it’s a work-in-progress. Maybe I will discuss it sometime later.
Until my next post, stay strong, trusting, and believing for your miracle.
