I Was Blind But Now I See
I am a season 12 Renewing Self Alumnus. At the time I was going through a period where I disliked my life and everything about it. Nothing seemed to be working in my life (job/relationship/family). I was busy trying hard to fix everyone's issues and it was taking a toll on me. I was depressed and spent the better part of my Sunday afternoons (after church) crying. Even God wasn't working for me. Nothing was. I knew something was wrong with me and I was desperate to fix it. I wanted to smile again. I wanted to feel alive again.
I wanted to smile again. I wanted to feel alive again.
My cousin Irene who had already gone through the renewing self journey introduced me to it and promised me it was the 'fix' I needed in my life. The journey cut through all aspects of my life and I started to see myself and the issues that I had in a different light. Over the 12 weeks, I found myself longing for Fridays to attend the next class and learn from Laimani and the team. I could feel the difference in my inner being.

Now I live each day with the principles and tools that I learnt. I made sure I spread the word to all the women in my life. My mum went through the journey too and safe to say, our interactions are now full of knowledge/wisdom and every so often we remind each other of living in significance.
To any woman who might be feeling like their life currently doesn't make sense, my encouragement to you will be to step out in faith and try out a different approach. It might just be the 'fix' you needed.
