January began with great hope.....this was the hear to make great strides, the year to learn much, the year to gain friends and information.
But this has been the year of most tears and most stress.
I have learned how individualistic people can be, how selfish and how opinionated the human soul can be. " Drag anyone under the bus as long as you can save your back" a mantra that I cannot subscribe to but is priority for most. I have found myself an outcast because of my personality. I have seen traps set for my failure and manipulations like I never could imagine in the human race, but I am glad we made it out. With multiple bruises and hurts but we soldier on.
My eyes were opened to true hidden nature of men. Mentors turned into ravenous wolves, friends turned into foes and family into strangers. I have never had such a year in my life.
As I count the loses and the strengths gained because of the constant bashing in all circles of my life, I thank God for my husband who has been a pillar of strength, kids who have been a consistent inspiration to make myself better and my mum who I lack the words to describe her love.
My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory. As the curtains close on 2023, I can only pray for breakthrough in ministry. Christ mindedness is key. Peace at Work because men it's been a roller coaster and continued happiness where it counts most.
I will definitely be engaging God in serious conversations about my career, family and most importantly my faith with an aim to seek clarity for the years to come. May His grace be sufficient and may he never leave me. May all the naysayers be silenced as God shows up to show off.
I leave 2023 wounded but I am hopeful that the wounds are scars of victory of the battle that I fought and survived. Truly had it not been the Lord by my side.....let Julie now say!!
