Being a young christian (part 8 - purpose redefined)


("Take a deep breath what you are about to say is very important, if you shake you'll mumble and you'll lose your audience" i say that to myself all the time when I hold the mic). Honestly speaking just like I said I love being on stage I honestly think I always have something to say that people need to hear, it's just a pity that half of the time I don't believe in myself and that results in me not sharing what I think was thought provoking.

I don't blame anyone for my insecurities, I don't even blame my dad I just think personally I want to be so many things that it slips my mind that I can't dominate in all the things I do. Sometimes I always wonder why does God make creative people so good at what they do and then make them confused. I'm creative and confused it's weird honestly, like sometimes I try to combine my dad's skills (that I learnt and "inherited") with my mom's skills (I think some skills are inheritable-i don't know) and it honestly becomes an epic fail. There I am trying to be a good listener like my dad and a helper like my mom and at the same time trying to be this free jolly spirited person as always, I find myself stuck half of the time I don't listen to understand (like my dad, like his good at it he pays attention full on) I listen to respond because the jolly me wants to come out and play even when I'm trying to help someone in serious need the jolly me just wants to be creative even though the creativity is not needed. I still believe that one of the ways to have your purpose defined is by spending time with yourself, yes time with yourself it sounds crazy because most people find it creepy but that's the best way to learn about you (but wait I'm not saying shut the world out and be all alone No!) have days where you just bond and connect with yourself you'll be surprised at what you truly love and what you truly hate. Yet again there is nothing wrong with you sitting in God's presences and asking him what your purpose is he'll answer you for sure.

There is so much to reveal, define and talk about when it comes to purpose especially purpose as a young christian, so I don't want to end here only, l don't just want to write about my experience but also talk about it. I'll be doing a video on purpose for a young christian on Thursday I'll share it on my socials @abigailradebe (the video should be up first thing in the morning) so do look out for it and don't forget to invite your friends and family to also check it out.

Defining purpose one day at a time.

Why do I crave a relationship so badly?

Why do I crave a relationship so badly? This is a question that many people ask themselves, especially if they have been single for a long time or have experienced repeated rejections or breakups. It is natural to want to share your life with someone who loves you, supports you, and makes you happy. But sometimes, this desire can become so intense that it causes you to feel anxious, depressed, or desperate. You may start to think that you are not good enough, that you are missing out on something, or that you will never find your soulmate. Why does this happen? And what can you do about it? There are many possible reasons why you may crave a relationship so badly. Some of them are: - You have low self-esteem and you think that having a partner will make you feel more confident, attractive, or worthy. - You are lonely and you lack meaningful connections with other people, such as friends, family, or community. - You are bored and you want some excitement, adventure, or novelty in yo

How can I grow my connection with God?

Image
One of the most important aspects of growing closer to God is learning how to communicate with Him. But sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between your own thoughts, God's voice and the enemy's voice. I used to think that God's voice was always loud and stern, telling me to stop sinning and do better. But as I spent more time with Him, I realized that His voice is actually gentle and comforting, His voice fills me with peace, joy and confidence, while the enemy's voice tries to distract me, make me doubt and confuse me. And my own voice is often stuck in the middle, wondering "Is this really God? God, if this is you, give me another sign". The Bible says in Psalm 145:18, "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." And in Matthew 6:33, it says "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Here are some tips to help you strengthen your relat

How do I stop being so available?

Being too available in relationships can be a sign of low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, or lack of boundaries. It can also lead to resentment, boredom, or loss of attraction from your partner. If you want to stop being so available and create more balance and harmony in your relationship, here are some tips to help you: - Recognize your own worth and value. You are not defined by your relationship or your partner's approval. You have your own interests, passions, and goals that make you a unique and interesting person. Remind yourself of your strengths and achievements, and celebrate them. - Set healthy boundaries and respect them. Boundaries are the limits you set for yourself and others on what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. They help you protect your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Communicate your boundaries clearly and assertively to your partner, and don't let them cross them. Likewise, respect your partner's boundaries and don't try t
