I am making progress

I am not going at the pace I thought I would be going BUT, I am making progress. I have read over 10 youversion bible plans. You should know that I love ticking off the 'to do list'. I had decided to quit my bible study class, (because of time) but my love for it has been renewed. I am still on one book (management book); i need to put more effort in this. I really love my management books. I have gone to the mountain to pray with one of my besties. This has made me more confident that, indeed, this is going to be an exciting year.

Periscope
I am really enjoying periscope. I think my friend Perpetual has a lot to say and she would do very well scoping.

Just for today, I thought that I would give an update on my progress.

Keep your goals
Keep your action plans
Implement (my new action word)

2016, I suspect it will be an exciting year

One of my 2016 goals/plans/resolutions is to blog, so here I am. If I do stop blogging at some point in the year, I would have achieved some percentage of my g/p/r's. Happiness!!! I also signed up for a lot of YouVersion reading plans and it is going very well, if I should say so myself :). I joined the Facebook challenge for saving money weekly, and that I am also making progress in that area. I still need to buy the piggy bank though. Last year, (and by that, I mean the last day of 2015), I went through my bank statement and calculated my income and expenses. Lesson learnt: bank charges are way too much.

So, 2016 will be exciting because I have planned to go to all kind of conferences for my edification. I also plan to read a lot of books on different subjects. (I mainly read management books). I plan to do local, Africa and international travelling. I am always on the lookout for specials :). I therefore appointed myself as Minister of Finance and have allocated a budget for all the travelling i inted to do.


In other news, I spend a whole 3 hours in a telecommunications service provider this afternoon. I do not wan to believe that this is the norm - 3 hours- while reciving service. Do not let me start on the attitude I received from the Customer Service consultant.

I still remain confident that this year, 2016, will be exciting. I think that this will become very obvious.

My Time

My time is so precious to me. I find out everyday as I try to be accountable for it. I really hate to waste any. i like to spend it wisely and of late I just want to invest it. I have to be watchful of time wasters, timekillers etc. Oh that i would not waste anytime doing nothing.

You know at the begining of the year, we all make resolutions. Mine this year, are to make sure I have spend all my time wisely. Im up for progress and going forward in every area of my life.

Its really quite impossible to keep track of time if you are busy on other peoples' timetable. people ask you to do things for them, you are meant to attend events, go to parties. I say do all these things but not at your expense.

Waiting on the Lord

When you are in need and you cant tell anyone except the Lord. When you are desperate for the Lord to show up. When you are depending on His promises. When the Lord is the only way you want out. When you have to trust and believe that He is telling you to trust Him. When you are waiting to hear from Him. When you need Him to show up as Belaparezim, the lord of the master breakthrough. When He is all you have. When nothing else will do. When you cant speak. When all you have is tears in your eyes.

job hunting

Its a pain, job hunting that is. Especially if you not on a job already. Im advised to take it easy, be calm and all, but how do I be calm when I needs to pay the rent. I will be calm, thats the advise Im getting. Anyway, i believe my father has it all planned out for me. Plans to make me prosper, and not to harm me. So i wait for a response from the applications i have sent. I dont want to loose hope because if I do then what have I done. So I wait. Im caught in between countries. Do I go back to Zimbabwe now or do I stay in South Africa and get experience then go back home. It has been my aim to eventually go and settle at home.

So I wait. I send applications and I wait. Sometimes they reply me and give me hope or rather more hope. Sometimes they just respond so rudely. And sometmes they dont bother to get back to you on the progress of the application. Before i start the blame game, I have been into my Junk mail today, ' thanks to my friend,' and there I discovered that some had responded and the mail was there as junk, rightfully so because i was not successful.

Am I meant to learn how it is like to job, since this is my line of work, when I get a job, I will be in Recruitment. I have learnt that it is important to be sensitive when responding to job hunters. If you have your job, keep it real, do not forget the job hunting experience and forget your work ethic.

decisions

so me and my friends, have finally decided that it is not good to leave things for the last minute, it is taxing, we definitely cannot work under pressure. To think we could have decided this 3years ago, likeydah. The funny thing is we have come to the end of our 3years, and the thing we have learnt is that, exactly that, not to leave things for the last minute. Im generally a distinctive student, but let me tell you, times are hard. I was estatic over an average grade, that is so not me. But i can deny it all I want, the thing is, of late that has become me. But all that is changing, and I have 1Corinthians2v5 to thank for it.

dude, u all just the same

So this guy, professes to love me, will never hurt me, will never disappoint me, that he will be different from the others. Blah, blah, blah. Does he really think I havent heard it before? Does he? I just let him go on stating the obvious. Does he think I will fall for the trailer? Does he know how many of those promises i have heard? Trust me, I know what Im talking about. I have 32years of experience, oh well minus 13years. You got it, yes, I started like really dating at 13, if I remember well.

So back to this dude: thinks he can impress me by coming to me bearing gifts. Ofcourse, I love presents. Who doesnt? I totaly adore them, but they are just that, 'presents'. So he musnt think he can win my heart that way. I say this because, in my research,most guys think equate love to money. Look, Im not trying to be unreal. Showering of gifts, can buy you companionship, but to win the heart, is complex.

The point Im trying to make is this dude mustn't think that he can win my heart that way. Some advice for him: try listening to me,when I'm talking, please dont do the talking. why should we compete. Stop blowing up my telephone (lol). Give me space to breathe. Let me process things. Do ome research dude, ' I aint your regular girl'.
