The Trying Podcast

I had always been the quiet one in a group setting, fortunately or unfortunately. So this meant that all I did for the most part was listen. This became both a 'blessing and a curse'.  There's a lot I'm yet to learn.  I came across this video by The Bible Project and it got me curious about what more God says about Listening.  SHEMA - LISTEN  https://youtu.be/6KQLOuIKaRA I'll dig deeper and try to...

There are those moments when I'm needed to pause and think first before running off to start or continue working.

Even during the stillness, I still need an anchor to connect me to my foundation, so that I don't drift off in all the directions of the winds or currents.  Oh! Just to share my current excitement; I was so excited when God confirmed his word for todays episode after having it for a month or so. It became clear to me on Sunday that the word Anchor was the coming Tuesdays (todays) topic for the pod...

It's about time I pressed that reset button.

It has taken me a couple of trys to finally get to a point where I can freely and clearly express myself verbally. From my very first recording, which did not make the cut, to my now 30th recording, I have tried taking small steps and tried different ideas all to improve on my communication skills.  This process has really helped me come out of my cocoon, learning more things about myself along th...

It's time I cover up some wounds and let God do the healing work instead.

Every try and every single step in the right direction is basically how I choose to define progress. Grey areas here can be disappointments and excitements at the same time, which can become confusing. I'm learning to celebrate even the smallest of my progress.

My curiosity has definitely led me to places and spaces that I never planned to be in, but have ended up playing a major role in my life. This same curiosity led me to find these amazing video resources that helped bring clarity to my life.  I thought I'd share them here:   The Value Of Vision  https://youtu.be/u-EJX58L7kI  How To Create A Vision Board  https://youtu.be/An46AnjEPCs  My Life Plan:...

What I give my attention to matters. What I give my time to matters. What I give my efforts to matters.

There are always those middle moments which can either paralyze me or energize me; depending on which mental state I choose to be in.

I'm planning on ending the year right. With a great mind, body and soul; plus stired up dreams. I feel like I've been in an inactive state for some weeks now, and I've started to get frustrated by the lack of motivation. It's time to stir up some self-motivation!

I'm starting to be intentional when showing gratitude to God and to others. Being thankful and also showing contentment with what I have and where I am at the moment. I learned about Dayenu from Pastor Tim Ross of Embassy City Church on youtube. This is the link for the service. Very informative and helpful. https://youtu.be/V1oQQZj449M

I might have spoken too soon... hehe. In this learning process called life, I'm discovering that there is alot I'm yet to learn. With the right intentions, when I seek, I'll eventually find what I'm looking for.

Note to self. Learn to let go.

And . . . We're back! I had to share my current dilemma with fear and the big-small word 'Yes'. I discover more about myself when I hold myself accountable and I give myself honest answers.

With time, I'm learning the importance of self-reflection. I haven't really tried my best to make use of it, but it's something I'll start to prioritize. Starting this week as I take a pause from publishing Tuesday episodes for four weeks(4 Tuesdays) to reflect on the steps I've taken thus far. This first batch of trials has 19 episodes!wow! The normal programming for Tuesday episodes will be back...

Today's episode is about the progress I've managed to achieve so far with the few trials I've been trying to working on.

This episode is a continuation of STRUGGLES Episode 15. In this episode, I share how I'm learning to embrace the endless grace of God, even as I continue fighting my struggle with perversion. Below is the GRACE LIKE A FLOOD series that changed my understanding on grace. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhYvOKkFVSGs87WA2RC5pC2sN3S-zg0xY

Setting aside some minutes in the morning to study some bible verses, as I have been doing for two months now; this specific morning, 16th August, 2020, I decided to press record and continue the bible study that way, instead of writing down the notes. Little did I know it'd end up being 3hrs long! ... Hehe. So I'll leave some links down below to most of the bible verses I referenced directly or i...

This journey is a long one and definitely will require discipline. The few struggles I've mentioned are among those which I'm mainly focusing on this year in order to eradicate the patterns and avoid relapses.

Todays episode is a rollercoaster. I had started on one topic, doubt, then switched things ups discussing my preparation process for the podcast episodes (topics) and how I've been ignoring some instructions... hehe

On todays episode, I'm sharing a few things I'm trying to do in order to take better care of myself.

I have experienced some cycles in my life that really messed up my self esteem. In this episode, we'll talk about the topic: Depression.. I share my story.

In todays episode, I'm sharing my journey with seeking approval. Learning to be okay with my current stage in life and finding an anchor.

It's hard to avoid one's responsibilities. On this episode, I share some of my responsibilities which I've been trying to keep up with.
