Over the past three weeks, I have experienced rough day after another. Don’t get me wrong I can’t begin to put into words how grateful I am for all the blessings God has  given me big or small. Writing this, I can literally feel the heaviness and exhaustion in my body. I have punked my body into thinking that if I don’t say the word fatigue out loud, the feeling won’t consume me. This so far has been the busiest year of my life, not even school days compare to this. That was clearly child’s play. Adulting is real.
I have been juggling a demanding role, school, a start up and writing a book. I know there is going to be superhumans who read this and add roles like wife, mother, head of a small group etc. but for now this has been my portion. Sum all that up and add the fear of failure. It got so bad at some point that I started picturing the end of this year and this was not even February😂. I want to be good at everything I do, I think that’s something a lot of us deal with. There are definitely more interesting days when there are pending tasks from work, several chapters to read, customer orders pending, blogs to write, a book to write and then add that a 1-2 hour traffic packed  journey to Mukono and dishes to wash between 9:30 and 10:30pm😅. I have defaulted on the dish duty on several days and ended up regretting it each time because mum always catches me. Its not fair to the person who does all the work, they are tired too( I am sorry, I apologize). What is the point of this “rant” you might ask?
To whom much is given much is expected. We joke about this statement a lot but it has never made more sense than it is right now. I don’t want to fall into that category of people who expect success to fall out of the sky, how ever success looks like in my mind. This in no way means that I should not work smart, I am a sucker for working smart(High key I can't wait for the day I start earning money in my sleep). Let's reel it back from the digressing; what are some of the things I have learnt over the past couple of months? God gives us tasks and trials that are bigger than us so that we can be reminded of our source. I know half the time I don’t know what I’m doing at work and that does not mean I’m wasting my employer’s time and money but simply, there are days when only God can get me through the day in one piece and without losing it and saying something inappropriate to a colleague. I don’t wanna have to burn bridges so  through these tough days, here is what I have learnt and hope you'll pick a leaf from;
1.   Definitely trust God and know for sure that He who began the good work in you will see it to it's accomplishment. 
2.   Remind Him of His promises. The word says, cast your burdens unto Him and He’ll take care of you. And one of my favorites, Count it pure joy my brothers and sisters when you go through trials of many kinds for the testing of your faith produces perseverance. If you are doing something that aligns with Will Of God and you meet challenges, relax, give it your best shot and watch Him show up and show out for ya. He always does!
3.  Be kind to yourself and your body. It's okay to decide not to touch anything on a Saturday or Sunday and just rest or do a few things. Be tender to yourself and your body, it’s the only one you get.
