READING THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR CHALLENGE

My utmost goal for 2020 is to know ABBA Father more. And what better way is there than to read the Scriptures daily.

So this year was finally the time for me to utilize The Bible in One Year Bible (New International Version) I had bought since 2013.

And of course in Vicky's style, I called it #ReadWithVickyChallenge2020ForMums where we would read two books daily; The Bible and 365 Things Every Parent Should Know by Doug Fields. Then created a WhatsApp Group for Mums who were interested in the challenge.

The month of January was great for me as I kept going on with the challenge but February was quite an intense month for me and because the staying up late/the early hours of the mornings are my most productive time to work in my season of being a SAHM. I most time work into my scheduled time to read my Daily Scriptures. So from missing two to three days and catching up it exceeded gradually to a point when it felt like I had missed out too much.

I began to feel like I should have done better in staying consistent. 

So as the month of March was approaching I was wondering how I would catch up on the days I have missed in February and I was talking to ABBA about it and I decided that instead of feeling bad and piling up more days, how about I just continue from the current day.

Meanwhile, I was also slacking in my responsibility to send the weekly daily scriptures to Mums in the platform and searching to download free pdf copies of the NIV Bible reading plan I am using has become a project for me.

All these left me reflecting on the words CONSISTENCY, COMMITMENT and DILIGENCE!

The summary of my reflections is that "being diligent means that even though I don't achieve my daily goals today, I will try again tomorrow and try again next tomorrow because I am committed to following through and this will ultimately improve my consistency."

Today is Day 132 of 2020.

It's been 131 days of bible reading plus 1 day of prayers.

The journey is still on and you can join the challenge today by filling the contact form below.

2017 In View, Focus On Developing Self...

A lot can be achieved when we commit ourselves to discipline. So as we reflect upon our year and begin to make our New Year plans and also set goals, I’ll encourage us to focus more on self-development goals. Self- development goals also includes gaining new experience by networking and volunteering.

After reflecting on my year 2015, I began to make declarations and projections for 2016 which I wrote down using hash tags to list them. By the time I was done, I realized that the words I had written down weren’t just fit for my next year but very timeless.

It then became obvious that these hash tags dwelt a lot on self- development and would balance with whatever goals I wanted to achieve.

Here’s a list…

What are your personal development goals for 2017?

Personal Accountability, The Packaging Of Your Worth!

So lately, I have said to myself, enough waiting on or looking for someone to be your mentor. I personally think that a mentor/mentee relationship should be one that’s led by the spirit. Where both parties take the relationship very seriously because it comes with a lot of responsibilities.

Having said that, I have been on a personal development goal and doing a lot of studies. Drafting out my daily plans and activities, which has been super helpful in making me personally accountable to myself.

The bottom-line is, rather than waiting till you have a mentor or someone to push you, how about you start being personally accountable to yourself first. You will be surprised that eventually you’ll turn out to be a great mentor to someone else instead of just craving to be mentored. This is because once you’ve become accountable to yourself, you’ve surely started exhibiting an essential value for greatness, success and even personal development, which is- Discipline!

We would be amazed at the capacity we have on our inside once we embark on a personal accountability journey.

Let’s hear your thoughts and experiences…
