Yoruba people ate with the word “Agbaya” like does any other language have a phrase that perfectly encompasses what it’s like to be old af, foolish & immature all at once.
Someone said, “Discernment means being able to tell your Judas from your Peter. Peter had a bad day, Judas had a bad heart. Peter you restore, Judas you release.”
Respectfully, I don’t go above and beyond for people anymore. I meet you as far as you meet me. I speak to you as much as you speak to me. I include you as much as you include me.
this happened to me in school, I’ve never ran out of someone’s house so quick in my life. Then I heard they killed it by accident by squashing it behind the sofa 😵💫
I also stopped visiting a friend of mine because he had a snake. The last time I visited him, I asked him where his snake was because it wasn't in its cage and he told me he didn't know but it's somewhere around the house. 😭 I left immediately.
Everybody is not the friend that you are to them. That’s why I shifted my whole perspective entering this new chapter and decided to really pour into those who pour into me.
I just found this amazing bible verse
"Don't panic. I'm with you. There's no need to fear for I'm your God. I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you"
Isaiah 41: 10
The BEST thing I learned this year was how to still enjoy my life during my storms!!! As long as we have life we will have problems!! It feels so good to still live and let God be God!! My entire world could be in chaos but I still smile because I hold on to God's promises!!!!
