Media personality Toke Makinwa revealed last year 2022 wasn’t exactly a great year for her, as she was emotionally exhausted and witnessed the worst of it.
Toke Makinwa jotted down all this in her 2023 New Year’s retrospective notebook, writing:
“2022…. The quote “it’ll end in praise” …now makes a whole lot of sense. This year was my best teacher, behind the smile, glam, work and fun that Instagram lets us share it was the most emotionally draining year I’ve had in years.
I’ve had to put myself together so many times this year, my eyes saw “shege” and I didn’t think it’ll end with me smiling but I am, this is the first time I’m crossing over without anxiety in years, almost like I’ve seen the worst so what else????
Our desires, though perfect in our eyes are only from a vantage point, we can only dream from what is available to us.
God’s plans however are greater than our desires and if we become flexible enough to let go of the control we think we have over how things will happen, we’ll be less anxious and more hopeful (easier said than done) cos his plans are always bigger and better than our imaginations.
Go into 2023 knowing that it’s ok to have your vision board but remember that we make plans and God laughs.
You cannot love your self more than he loves you,
You cannot outwork God, he is sovereign,
You cannot write a better chapter, he is the Author,
You can trust totally in the fact that it’ll always end in praise.
