The State of Being Jayne

This week I have succeeded in crying , laughing, loving and ‘being Jayne’. We all know the state of crying or laughing or loving but the state of being Jayne is one I am still trying to discover….but I know it when I feel it.

Yesterday, I had left the office at exactly 5pm for home and by the time I got to the expressway, I saw this long stretch of traffic and I didn’t know when I started crying. I looked at the back of the car and the kids were already sleeping, too busy in dream land to even notice. I was seriously looking forward to have an early dinner and rest like hell…..and then also, to watch the final episode of ‘my heart beats for Lola’ yeah, I am a Telemundo fan! And so, I got home an hour later than expected and
I was so drained. to make dinner was a lot of sacrifice….we just took fruits and went to bed.

 

Sometimes in life we have our whole day, events or our lives planned out. We plan the dress we want to wear, the shoe that fits the dress and sometimes, the underwear that fits the dress (we don’t want any VPL). But we forget that things may not be happen just the way we want them to….life’s funny and because things are beyond our control…they are in God’s hands whether we like it or not. I really feel bad when things don’t go as I planned (who doesn’t?). It makes you a bad planner, you don’t know your job or that you still be ‘learner’. And sometimes, even when things don’t work our way, they turn out to be better…..when the ‘guru planner’ intercedes.

Before I forget, according to my dictionary, the state of being Jayne can be defined as “the state of putting all your cares in God’s hands”… arms stretched, wide open…earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling….
I am a good planner and I will always plan my activities as best as I can and will always wait for the ‘guru planner’ to guide me all through……………..Amazing grace!
