Baby Steps

So ... its been ages since I bothered to blog about anything. I actually started this blog when I was in some kind of a dark place in my life and this was my escape, my happy place. anyhow fast forward to this day and a lot of things have changed with me.
New country, new city, new friends, new job and as a matter of fact a totally new life and the career is finally having perspective.
sometimes it may just take you making a very bold step, getting up and leaving everything you know and you're used to for things to start to fall in pleasant places for you: I mean, Abraham got up and left before God could establish his covenant with him and up until these day we claim Abrahams blessings as ours. Imagine if Abraham refused to move and complacency didn't let him trust God enough for the possibilities of his entire existence...Lets just say we wont be talking about him  and he probably would never have entered into the account of the bible.
what's the moral of this plenty talk? sometimes better things will come when you let go of the former things...'Behold I will do a new thing'.
Settling down in a new country and starting a new job immediately not knowing a single soul is not a joke trust me! Many times you would feel like giving up and wish you hadn't  made the decision but if you keep at it knowing that whatever is thrown at you however difficult is a stepping stone ; just see it as a means to an end and not an end in itself...'If he brings you to it..He will bring you through it. what doesn't kill you will definitely  make you stronger. you totally need to develop a thick skin and constantly keep your eyes on the price.
always have a plan as to what you want to achieve and give yourself timelines as you work through it. make friends as much as you can, be as welcoming and receptive as possible and be helpful.
let people see a true genuine human being in you and things will get easier for you. be good at your job and you will stand before kings.
Most importantly, trust God... Have conversations with him daily. it doesn't  have to be ceremonial...talk to him, he is your father and the author and finisher that sees the end from the beginning.
Give yourself time, you will catch up and surpass your expectations...Learn as much as you can and work twice as hard.
Last but not the least ; take time to relax; travel, try new cuisines, read books, watch movies, do sleepovers,call your friends and family often

...do whatever to make sure that you breatheeeeeeeee…. baby steps!
