Fresh Horizons

Happy new year, my people. In the spirit of ‘newness’, mid last year I received an opportunity to move to one of my dream cities. Tell me why did I have to think about it? Three years ago, I would’ve said yes on the spot without even thinking about it, fresh from high school and oblivious about this life thing, just high on ambition. I don’t know but lately, I have been quite fearful (which is odd for a Christian – 2 Timothy 1:7) and cowardly (which is weird for someone who has major plans). It’s like the more I live, the more my eyes open to the possibilities of how many things can go wrong, how many rejections will be thrown in my face or disappointments from those I love or whatever.

Another thing that made me hesitate on taking this decision was because of my life here in Pretoria. Life was good! I’m talking friendships, church and the entire church community and everything. And I was (emphasis) on was, one of those people that thought you can never get lucky twice. So, I wanted to hold on to this good life in Pretoria because I did not believe that I could be this fortunate again in this new city. This mindset is absurd and false and that is not how God works. Especially where you feel He has called you to that place, please read 2 Corinthians 9:8. So, I’m trusting God for this and better, and you should too if you are in the same boat as me. It’s not going to be easy, but all the best.

Cheers to a new year and new beginnings. Let’s meet here again in 2 weeks, mwahhhh.
