Dear Christian Girl,
First of, Congratulations on making it another year!!!
As I sit down to write this post, I'm imagining a conversation with a dear friend - a Christian girl who's seeking encouragement, support, and a reminder of God's love. This is a letter to her, and to all the Christian girls out there who are on this journey of faith with me. It's a safe space for us to share, learn, and grow together.
Well,it's that time of the year where some of us (the rest of us have either given up,or never even bothered in the first place) sit down and reflect on the past year and proceed to pen down our now famous "new year resolutions" and "new year goals"
But be honest, (its just you and I), by the time we get to the end of June, how many of those goals have you achieved and how many resolutions did you stick by?
I for example, is a guilty party on this table. This wonderful blog was a long time coming but kept procastinating and giving excuses,but thank God for grace!!
You know,sometimes its not even about achieveing the goals, but we have set bulky and vague goals you dont know where to begin...
What do you mean you want to buy a benz by the end of the year when you havent even started paying for your own feeding yet?
Or you want to start a Forbes 500 buisness when you dont know the first thing about profit and losses?
Break those goals into smaller bits,and those bits to even smaller bits...take it day by day and be commited to trusting the process because only if you commit can anything really be done.
Some of us lack the commitment to keep going...We start something at the new year and is so excited for it, and the first quarter does not even pass us by before we begin to lose enthusiasm,just like my first run at this...
But grit keeps us pushing,when you have not more strength to push, and true success can only come when you have decided to push on,expeccially when you dont feel like it.
Another thing that holds us back is fear...fear of failing,fear of not meeting up,fear of what people will say,if they will laugh or take you seriously.
But we forget 2 Tim 1:7 (MSG) "God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible."
We are God's own creation,we are beautiful, and smart and an asset to our generation so why hide it?
Nobody ever made it by playing safe, or being afraid to fail. Neither did anybody successful ever made it by caring about what anyone had to say abouy thier "wild dreams" and aspirations...
You are the main character of your own story and besides all they can do is talk, (do they want to beat you?)
Well this year we have another blank page, 365 unused opportunities to fuffill our dreams, but the big question is...are we going to take our chances?
Are we going to seize each day as they come and make the most of it?
Are we going to make sure thay this is the year that all our boxes are ticked?
As we stand at the threshold of this new year, remember that you have the power to create the life you desire. Don't let fear hold you back, and don't be afraid to take small steps towards your big dreams. You are capable, you are strong, and you are loved.
Sincerely yours,
DCG Team.
