I don’t know what exactly I will be writing about, but one thing is certain: I will be sending in entry 3 of 5. I sincerely recognize that it is by God’s enablement that I am here writing a third entry. God is teaching me consistency and resilience, He is changing how my mind engages with things like this. Things that require a pause, deep thinking, and reflection. It is needed for the soul.
I love how this challenge is building me up. It has made me become more in tune with my little space here on the internet.
Alright, maybe I should write about one thing I am thankful to God for today.
I am thankful for the people He has surrounded me with. In these past few years I have seen God’s love for me through people who have acted as support systems for me. He has added quality people to my life, people who love and care unashamedly. Even couples who have shown the good things that are possible in marriage; the power of oneness in marriage.
Moving away from home has not been an hassle for me because of the people God has intentionally gifted me with. Of course there has been frictions here and there, conflicts that ensue from different lifestyle and personality clash. But I see God’s intentionality in this too. The pruning, the process, the character and wisdom that is being developed. Leaving home has been a big eye-opener for me, especially in regards to the nuances of human relationships.
Communication as a Skill
One thing that has been exposed in my close relationship with other people apart from family is my nonchalant attitude towards communication/ proper communication. Now I get why they say one thing you must get right in marriage is proper communication. Simply because humans don’t have mind-reading capabilities! My struggle here is that I’d rather keep mute than be awkward or stir up drama. I am learning that this is an unhealthy way to avoid awkward/confrontational moments.
P.S: Entry 3 came in some minutes late, but I made it!
3/5🎊
