COUNT IT ALL JOY!

Hello people! Welcome to the beautiful month of August. It definitely is the month of birthing new things. This week, I would like to admonish those who are travailing and in chaotic period of their lives. There is just one thing to note, in the midst of troubles, there is usually new blessing to tap into. 

Sometimes, you never know how strong you are until you are faced with challenges. When people go through challenging periods, it usually look like there is no way out and that it will never end but if you can search deeply, answers on why those things have to be will surface. You will realize that it's just life training you for a greater purpose. 

If you don't have a taste of bitterness, you cannot 
appreciate the taste of sweetness. 

What you are experiencing now is to prepare you, purge you and purify you for the blessings that are to come. For instance, it may be that there are few people you have to do away with before you can evolve. It could also be that there are some characters you have to let go of in order to function well in your purpose. 

 Appreciate every season of your life. Don't envy others when it seem that they are getting it right because they also have gone through their own chaotic periods. The season you appreciate or envy them for is their time of evolving because no man can escape theirs.

If it will help, I didn't evolve until i had to go through my own share of turbulence. I struggled with betrayal from friends, difficult in-laws, financial issues, unemployment and an unplanned pregnancy (My first child was barely 8 months old when i became pregnant again) all in the space of one year. It was as if that year would never end, but guess what? it did!. And today I count it all joy, in fact I am happy I went through it all because it made me appreciate the blessings that followed. If  I didn't experience all that I did, I would never have seen the need for self evaluation and personal growth which led me to discovering my purpose.

Therefore, in the midst of a great storm, there is something God wants to bring out of it. There is a reason for it. So count it all joy, instead of giving up, look beyond the chaos and birth new things.  Don't lament, but rather get to work, solve the puzzle, reflect, think on the things you can do right and you will be surprised how much you can achieve even in the storm. Thank you for reading, enjoy your week.
