YAAAY! RAQUEL DAILY BLOG IS ONE TODAY!!

Where do I start from? How do I say thank you for being there? I'm just going to believe you all know how much you mean to me. Exactly one year ago, I started this blog. Not because I wanted to make money, but to keep busy while I stayed home to care for my daughter, while also searching for a job. Two years, and still, no job was forth coming. My husband realized I was walking the shores of depression and suggested that I start a blog to keep busy since I was practically always on line applying for one job or the other. Hence, the birth of this our great blog.

Let me just briefly advise those who are out there searching for jobs, one thing I have realized in my 2 years of searching for one is that nobody is going to hand you anything on a platter of gold, no connection is as connected as God. Oh, trust me, I know. I thought my connections were the best (oh, I do have them) but none of them came through for me. They would tell me to call back in 1, 2 weeks, every time I called any of them, like 2 weeks is 2 days, before I knew what as happening, 2 years had been taken out of my life by depending on men instead of God. Don't waste years of your life you can never get back by waiting on men, start something, no matter how small.

I realised GOD is the only connection that I have. One beautiful Sunday, while still waiting for one of those who promised me a job to get back to me, I was studying the word of God and I heard clearly, for the first time, what I believe was the voice of God, saying; "Start something and see if I would not bless it". I realized I had missed the one connection that really mattered. I decided to apply myself trusting in God, not waiting around any more for help form men. They just kept disappointing anyway.  

So, I have started something, as I said earlier, will let you guys in on it later, it's still in the baby/training stage. So, when I don't come online or post anything on time, pls bear with me. I am applying myself as instructed by my father in heaven. I am not where I wanna be but assured that I will get to where God has purposed for me in his own time. I feel alive now, purposeful, renewed and filled with hope. Blogging will always be a part of me, 'cos I have come to love being with you guys. My husband feels I should stop blogging totally and concentrate on my new baby (what I'm currently working on), but no good mother abandons her older child (my blog and you guys) for a newborn. She finds time to love and care for them both.

It is going to be very difficult; my hubby, my daughter, my new venture and blogging. but I am  determined to make it work. that's why I am a woman, right? We've got super powers.

Ok, gotta go guys, see you in the evening. Happy Birthday to us all. By the grace of God, this time next year, we will be bigger than this. *muah*.

With all my love,

Raquel.
