HOLDING ON TO THE THING THAT MATTERS

in ThoughtfulDailyPostlast year (edited)

I started the year with a failing business and less than $200 to my name. It was really a dark time for me and making the decision to stop my ride-sharing business to return to Hive writing put me in an even darker place because despite my business putting me deep into debt, I was still earning a lot more than I did from writing content on Hive and somehow I felt if I were a little patient I would eventually become profitable. However, the business was not only affecting my finances but also my health and relationships, so I had to let it go.

It's been almost 8 months since I stopped ride-sharing and I would say that I am in a more secure financial and emotional position than I could have ever imagined some months back. My leap of faith from a place of security to a place of uncertainty did not end me and thinking about it this morning, I have every reason to be grateful to God because everything worked out right and it is something worth holding on to while moving onto this next phase of my life.

In about a month I will be getting married to the love of my life. To be honest this decision was a bit rushed but I am happy and confident with my decision to do life with this amazing woman I have known for the last decade. It is the best decision I have made this year and who would have thought that a year that started on a bad note would be ending in a blissful way.


While I am making plans for an amazing life with my future partner, I am revisited by the familiar feeling of uncertainty. There is so much we need to achieve, aside from our wedding, in just a short time with limited resources and it seems like a mission impossible. I am up most nights thinking and permutating, trying to figure out the best strategies for us but then I had an epiphany this morning which I believe is a byproduct of the sermon I heard last week.

The sermon was centered around trusting God rather than our means, and I believe this to be true. There have been so many instances in my life where I have achieved the impossible--things I did not have the means to achieve. However, something happens while in the process of planning that creates an opportunity for me to achieve the said thing I wanted, and I trust this to be one of God's amazing ways of manifesting in my life.

I am reassured and confident in God's will and ways to align the hearts of men in my favour. So worrying is just me putting the cart (which in this case represents people) before the horse (God). I believe if things don't pan out right and certain doors are closed there will be a new and better opportunity that takes me to even greater heights. So I am holding on to the thing that matters.

Yeah. We cannot control everything. We just have to do our best. That's all that is required from us

Well, it's a private wedding with just close family and friends. So the rice eating has to wait.

You are welcome..

Okay then no problem, we will wait till that time..

and who would have thought that a year that started on a bad note would be ending in a blissful way.

Now, this is a great news with positive mindset because you are already anticipating a blissful ending which is great

Despite all odds Nonso, just trust your maker to set things right for you. You don't have to worry, just trust him completely and see how things flow for your good 😊

I am wishing you all the best as you prepare for your marriage soon

I am counting on him 100%. He has done so many amazing things and if I know Him for anything, it is his consistency.

I am wishing you all the best as you prepare for your marriage soon

Thank you very much.

The concluding part of the article came with a strong assurance and I can tell that God has a lot in plan for you and you just have to be yourself while the great things unfold themselves.

God know more than whatever we have in plan so it's best to just trust his process. After everything that happened last year, my business was affected and I had to settle for what I never thought. Although I didn't share this with a lot of people and seeing myself happy right now is something I never imagined, yet, I am because God did what I thought was impossible.

I pray that your marriage will be filled with greater love, happiness, and wealth. I am so happy for you bro, cheers 🍻
