Overwhelmed

Happy new month! How time goes fast,the other day was 1st Jan and now we can almost sing Christmas carols..

There was a time I went to work and at the end of the day I’d feel like I had done nothing.There was so much to do yet I did nothing or so I felt.So much pressure around me and I was experiencing a burnout.Any one relating?

When I talked to Jesus about it I came across this great lesson that I want you to take home.Whatever you do it is God who causes you to think and act so that He can take delight(see Phil 2:13 NKJV).As the 2016 curtains draw,you may feel like you have so much to accomplish before the year ends.The to-do list is very long and the time is short.So you’re depressed.

Good news is that there’s a solution!Trust the Lord and He’ll direct you(See Prov 3:5-6),commit your plans–in this case the to-do list to God and watch Him do the rest(See Prov 16:3).No need to be overwhelmed anymore.

When I started trusting that He takes pleasure as I sew and I can forward my daily tasks to Him first thing in the morning,my days have been lighter even when challenges come my way.May this spur hope and rest for you.

Blessings to you,

Looking Back 2

My favorite bloggers do stock taking from This is ESS,Ms Kibati and many others.I do ‘Looking Back’ rather what I’d call reflections.Honestly speaking the last time I did this was last year a time like now which is bad,I need to do it oftenly.

So from then these are the chronicles of my life.

Eating: Everything! This cold weather has transformed me into….even Mr P laughs every time I say am just eating.Carbs and fruits are my fav.And I am 61kgs Yaaaay!!

Queer eating habit: Boiled maize daily! If I don’t grab a piece I feel like am not complete and the way I chew it without feeling embarrassed even if the guy next to me is staring like,”This pretty girl eats maize?” 

Drinking: Tea.Chai.It is shocking me than its shocking my mum.

Reading: The Bible more.As I put posts together I just find myself referring to scriptures.My auntie gave me a beautiful devotional book by Donna Maltese that I’ve been ready daily. I’ll be honest:I have slumped on reading motivation books instead am buying novels at the moment am reading Yesterday by Fern Michaels.

Watching: Grey’s Anatomy,White Collar,Covert Affairs and every other investigative I lay my hands on.

Exercise: Lord please help me here.

Appreciating: That this life rewards hardwork.People at their level of knowledge.Good manners and positive thinking.

Obsessing: On Ankara fabrics and designs.DIYs,Cars,Photography,All things natural hair and fashion!

Fearing: Electric faults.The pole next to our house misbehaved so am avoiding these electricity lines like plague.

Sewing: Skirts and dresses(Enrolled for a tailoring class).Some woolen fabrics with my mum.

Learning: To be content.To take one day at a time.To be comfortable with my body and skin.To be thankful at all times.To appreciate others and to be humble.To be open minded more.To state my case and stick there.

Crushing: On Hill Harper and Matt Bomer(He has blue eyes and the way he suits up…Damn!)

Keeping off

Thinking: About taking my Masters,business and this blog.

Feeling: Happy,loved and thankful for all the blessings.

Hoping: To cook better,have a family,have a big library and be the best I can.You keep on reading my blog and getting inspired.

Blessings to you,
Wambui Muriuki.

Value

Oh yes! It’s end month and the beginning of a new month,a new chapter and a new lesson.It isn’t late to learn something or make the necessary change to your life.That brings me to this lesson that I have been pondering on:Value.
As an agribusiness manager I can only realise better profits if I add value to agricultural produce.In its raw form it doesn’t fetch much in the market.
Our lives are like the tomatoes and fruits we grow.Unless we add value our lives have no meaning.Value is anything that makes us better individuals every day. Ever spent your time with someone or doing something and after you’re through you feel spent?
Like some chakra was sucked from you?That is value reduction.Value addition does the exact opposite.It lifts you and edifies your life.Adding value is a deliberate action.It means spending your time with people who build you and doing things that add meaning to your life.
To add value you must forego a few things and people therefore make the hard choice and do it.Happy and value adding month of May!

Blessings to you,
