Hey my lovely’s
It’s been a while... I know I apologise for the delay on the Blogs, But thank God it’s here (looool). I’m going to share with you, my reasons for my absence and some of my deepest thoughts, that I was so unsure about exposing but I feel maybe there is someone out there who needs to read what I’m about to write.
Who am I? Well..... I am Jenna, a mum, a wife, a sister, friend, chorister, and all the good stuff in between, but outside of the obvious... Who am I?
In my quiet time away from the blog, away from being in the choir away from church and people, iv been spending my days trying to work that one out.
Now I’ve reached a particular age and my children are at an age where I can start my career, I now don’t know where to begin. Before this time I had so many ideas, I wanted to do and be so much.... (Counsellor, singer, social worker, psychologist, teacher, or beautician) lets jus say a bit of everything. Now the problem isn’t in having too many ideas or different career attributes, the issue lies in not knowing how to get there, how to get started, or working out what I’m most passionate about.
Positive note iv realised it will be extremely helpful to know who I am, in order to know my passion, so that I can get to a steady path, to reach my goal and build on my dream. It’s one of the most frustrating feelings in the world, especially if you feel like everyone around is getting established in their careers and heading forward towards their destiny. It can be an extremely lonely place.
Let’s shine some light in this dull corner
Yes we are many things to different people, we have plenty of responsibilities, but when all that is said and done and it’s only you left, what happens next??
Do you know how many times my husband and kids have gone out and left me home alone... all my chores are done and I’m just sitting here like what do I do now (looooool). But when they are around all of a sudden I crave for the quiet time to do the things I love to do.
Ideas: 1
When you have a point where there is something you would love to do but you don’t have the time, write it down in a special to do list for you, NOT, you’re to do list of chores but you’re special to do list for YOU.
Idea: 2
If like me you have more than one career choice/ passion, dabble a little in all of them and then you can start to sift out the ones that you don’t really feel appeals to you. I’ve realised that there is nothing wrong with having a list of ideas as long as your arm, that’s a good thing it just means you’re a very passionate person, with many talents and gifts and money making/ life changing ideas .
Ideas 3: DROP the excuses. I have a journal fall of excuses as to why I can’t do this, and why I can’t do that. If that’s the way I’m going to behave in regard to my future, then I have no right in complaining.... (Can I get an Amen) loool.
It’s not only my future I’m messing with but my children’s also. Imagine they have dreams but don’t pursue them because they haven’t had a role model to show them how or that regardless of your circumstances there’s always away. I don’t know about you, but I for sure want to be able to leave something major behind for my kids and grand kids. When I’m gone from this earth, they for sure need to remember me for something more than being a mum and wife, even though being a mum and a wife are the most amazing and rewarding jobs you could have. I want to be known as Jenna outside of that.
Who is Jenna... well I haven’t figured it out yet looool. But that not a bad thing, I am going to take my time and enjoy myself working it out. So my lovely’s if you feel how iv been feeling don’t be disheartened or discouraged, have fun working you out and learning to love you for you and not trying to be or follow somebody else’s dream because you’ll possibly miss your chance in being truly happy.
Psalm 73:24: you guide me to a glorious destiny.
We all have a destiny, a goal, a dream, but one thing we need to acknowledge is not everyone’s is the same, so please even if you don’t take my advice above.. Soak this in.... learn to love yourself for you, for the individual God made you. How can anybody love you if you don’t love yourself? Nobody over than God can love you, like you can. How you determine your worth, really determines how people see you. So even if you’re a stay at home mum, bin man, student, singer etc be the best at it and be proud of how far you have come. Not many have got to where you are every new step, new day and new target met is an achievement. Be proud, because God has blessed you with another day to try again or to keep going.
I pray this post, touches and ministers to those who need it.
Stay Blessed.
