Anyways, whilst on the way to holland v just now, (in which i was slightly more than a bit late haha) i had a very precious time of fellowship with my Daddy God. And He just really brought me to the awareness of how my life is taking such a turn even at this very point of it. The beauty in me that He is just emphasizing, flourishing, and making even myself realise. That i am not just called to a life of ordinary-ness. That my life is special, unique, and that i'm not someone of no talent. It really blessed my heart so much to realise that for one of the first times in my life. For years, i've lived life just being very ordinary, with little talent to show apart from the apparent keen-ness in my academics. And even so, i was never happy with those 'so-called' achievements, not forgetting that it only did hold in the earlier years of my life till JC. Each time then, i'd be the pride of my family in comparison with my brothers, the epitome of success in the family. Nonetheless, deep in my heart of hearts, i did not see myself even close to that. Yes, in terms of academics, i far excelled my brothers. Yet in terms of the other aspects of life, natural strengths, i so envied my brothers, especially Clifton. He was capable in leadership, had an excellence in sports, and just everything you could ask for. It never did come to a point of jealousy, in which i praise God for, but i certainly did wish i was more talented. I woulda always shunned at the most dreaded question from my peers. "so, what do u like to do in your free time?" that, never did fail to put me into condemnation cuz there was really nothing in particular that i enjoyed, and found pleasure and satisfaction doing. The furthest i ever did go, in search of an excuse for myself, is simply "oh, i enjoy spending time with my family" I still do, don't get me wrong, and i find that such a precious ministry. Yet, apart from which, there was really nothing in deeds that i was capable in doing. Ok i believe i have gotten my point across and so i shall not continue going in circles, as i feel that i am now haha!
Well, yea i was just talking about how i was given the honour to spend time with my King rite, haha and i drifted so far! Anyway, ya i was just brought into the consciousness of how i'm realising so many of my dreams now, and how He's just showing me of talents and interests i never did discover of myself; how there is a spirit of excellence in certain things that i do, how people just come up to me to tell me that i am talented in a so and so area etc. Praise God! Not only that, i TOTALLY enjoy the things that He has placed in my hands. T.O.T.A.L.L.Y. i realise that i'd been so focused in the wrong things previously to a point that it brought me so much disappointments and dissatisfaction. But He is just now restoring everything, showing me how i am a person with keen-ness in the areas of aesthetics, and not... whatever opposite of it (can't find a correct word haha). And He's just opening so many doors and avenues whereby i could explore and excel so much in these talents. I marvel at His love for me.
