About JustSyai

Hello Loves! Let me take this opportunity to introduce myself and welcome you all to my blog. I am so thankful that you stopped by. My name is Syaidah, just like the famous singer-songwriter Siedah Garret, but you can call me Syai (pronounced Sigh). I am a Christian, a wife, a mother of 3 children, a lover of all things fabric, yarn and music, lastly but certainly not least, I am a writer.

 

I have been writing for years, it started as journaling and slowly turned into mini articles. I would start to write about my feelings, prayers and the Lord would give me scriptures to add in. Then I would be in church listening to the word, suddenly I would get a download from heaven and I would quickly jot it down so I could write about it when I got home. The urge to write would burn in my mind, flow in my thoughts or replay over and over at the most inopportune times, until I put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard. The name Just Syai came forth because I found that I was losing myself.  I was Justin's wife, (insert child's name here) mom or Sister Syaidah from church. I felt like I was slowly disappearing, writing became an extension of me outside of everything and everyone else, like me as an individual was still here and I mattered. 

 

This blog has been created to connect with people like you, individuals who can relate to everyday struggles of marriage, parenthood, Christianity, crafting and LIFE! I look forward to sharing my journey with all of you and I hope that you subscribe to receive updates of new posts as soon as they are published and hit that follow button in the side menu. Thank you again, and I pray that you stay along on this journey, my journey, called Just Syai.

 

Love

PERFECTION

I was talking to another mom one day while picking my daughter up from school (before Corona) and she said, sometimes she feels bad because she is not the perfect mom. I said to her none of us are, we all make mistakes and do things a way that can sometimes be wrong, but it all works out for greatness somehow. Then when I got home, the Lord kept telling me perfection is not a necessity. Why do we have this fascination with being perfect? I have gone through it myself many times. I can't tell you how often I have unraveled a completed project because I messed up, decided not to wear a particular outfit or completely redid my hair because it wasn't perfect.  Christians often feel that they have to be perfect in the eyes of the church to be used or hold office,  unbelievers say "I have to get myself right before I come to the Lord" as if they can become a vision of perfection on their own.  Let's be clear, there is no one perfect besides Christ , not even me.   ...

HELP has COME!

I know we are all TIRED of being in the house, ready to go out into the world and be with our family and other loved ones. I know that for me being home has gotten a bit harder and I have had to dig deep to find some outlets that helped me cope with being home. One of the main things has been disconnecting from news and some other media outlets for a couple of hours or even days at a time. It has helped me to refocus, re-energize and calibrate my emotions. I urge you to take a break from the news and focus on yourself or your family, it helps to calm your spirit more than you think.  Here are a couple of other things that I have been doing to keep me sane during this quarantine.   Reading - I love a good book and can read a good book in one day. I subscribe to Bookbub  to get a daily update on free and low priced books on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple and Google websites. I cuddle up in the recliner or in the bed with a hot cup of my favorite tea of the week and dig...
