Last night I was at an event put together by some wonderful friends, Thandi & Chewe Nkole. They brought some of their friends together to enjoy some really nice African music, food and to network. I had planned to simply grace the occasion but leave early but I really loved it and stayed till the end. It was a good use of my time and money. And I made new friends too.

Are you a Model?

One of the ladies on the Marimba group was sure I will be a good model so she advised me to consider becoming one. My response was: well I am a Pastor and so I am a model, kind off. We all laughed and said our good byes.

Well, on a serious note, what does it take to be a model? Not on a fashion runway but on the runway of life? I have always loved being a good example since I was little. I have made some very bad moves and some amazingly good calls and in all I always think someone is watching to follow my foot steps.

What about you. Are you a model? To become one, you must be improving daily. You will need to analyze your thoughts, and find resources to improve your thoughts and actions. That’s why book have been my very good teachers. I believe that I must be improving on a daily basis. Sometimes I am on top speed and other times I drag along. What matters to me is that I keep moving. I don’t like reading but since I improve each time I read a good one, I have planned to read at least 1 book a week if not more.

I must say here that I hardly read books from cover to cover. I take what I need each time and come back again. The aim is to improve and that’s what I do. I also prefer to learn enough that I can practice and perfect instead of reading all at once, therefore, I take my time.

I have heard someone say; its ok to be different.

Just as God made the Sun, Moon and Stars to differ in their function, brilliance and glory; He made you different from other people around you. There is no point in all of us trying to out do each other. By simply being yourself you will outshine me and everyone else around because there is only one you.

If we accept God’s plan for our lives we will be able to shine. Look around and you will see that the people that stand out are the ones that are not contending with their personality, they are grateful each day for their make up. They are secured in who they are. They trust God daily to match up to what God made them to be and not what another person is or have.

Today, I want you to confront every self degrading thought with this: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. As I continue to improve my gifts and strengths, my beauty shines like the lighthouse. Lord Help me to accept whom you made me ad become whom you see in me.

In life, there is a common plague that almost everyone suffer from; the idea that people can see and understand what you have on your mind even when you don’t speak your mind. Everything you do in life is as a result of your perspectives in life which also determines what you do and how you do them.

Do you find yourself living your life thinking or assuming that people can see you mind?  “He knows how I feel right now because my facial expression says it all”. This is just an assumption, there is no prove that the guy can understand your unsaid words. Consider sharing your line of thought with him and that relationship will be easier. Your life and the other person’s life will be much easier if only you can say your mind.

I got this clearer after experiencing something with my 6 year old. For more than 3 years I had organize his clothes in drawers, I also tried to teach him the system over and over and practiced with him for so long but it was challenging for him to remember the system.  I wished I could just tell him to find an outfit and not have to help him find it. I still had to until this fateful day, I asked that we put labels on the drawers and he loved the idea. After the whole activity, everything changed.

He got it! Because he didn’t need to remember, He just needed to read. And then it hit me, How many people have I been mad at because they did not understand what I was saying (though I was not saying anything to them, I expected them to naturally know that I am mad)

Watch this video and make up your mind up to share what is on your mind….
