I WILL GIVE ME A FLOWER TOO WHEN I AM NOT OKAY

 One day a friend of mine asked me a question, "how would you describe yourself"? Present, was my answer. Its in my nature to see through people.
When my people are hurting I automatically feel the need to make a difference. Some days I try, some days the only thing I can do is to be present.
While being there for people has always been a  natural act, it was harder for me to be there for me when I needed it the most. I was really struggling but I was impatient with me, I was hard and bad towards myself. I could be kind to other people but I couldn't do the same for me. Its so sad thinking about how mad I was at myself for struggling, though I never chose it for myself.

I found beauty in my struggle, giving people love and kindness at that point, taught me I have love and beauty within me. Since I have, I decided to experience the love and the beauty too. 
I am my own best friend today and I have stopped searching. Our response to life won't always be the same as other people's response to life. We were born to journey on different paths and to serve different needs.

Get yourself a flower too when you're not okay, but never stop getting others flowers when they are not okay. Whatever you do, do it with a humble heart.❤

Blessed to bless: Service is the call

I am happy to see the heart of God in partnering with me to bless others. While this is my call to answer, I am careful not to be overly excited but to remain level-headed, as I understand the cost of being chosen to work for the Lord. Walking with Him in itself can be daunting; it’s a great responsibility that involves exposing my heart, forcing me to accept where I am wrong and engage in doing the job to unlearn and learn. Service comes with sacrifice at the same time it is deeply fulfilling and the very reason for our existence. A call, I explain as a thing that describe me yet feels foreign. It’s both familiar and new. The beginning is exhilarating, as it resembles pursuing a passion that feels more like a hobby. However, I recognize that there have been times I fought against the will of God because it was taxing to be in the place He called me to remain, doing the work and interacting with challenging individuals. I have celebrated at the revelation that my struggle is meant to e...

Successful Living: Embracing God's Will

Free and victorious Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” We are free from:   - Oppression by the enemy,   - Destruction from Satan,   - Deception by Satan,   - Being controlled and used by the enemy,   - The lies of the enemy.   Romans 8:37 "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."   We are successful in:   - Our walk with God,   - Hearing God,   - Following the instructions of God and obeying Him,   - Aligning with the will, plan, and purpose of God according to His will as we devote ourselves to scriptures,   - Loving the things God loves and hating the things God hates.   We experience victory in:   - Following God,   - Living a life written in heaven for the number of our days on earth....

The Responsibility to Remember

This blog is inspired by a sermon titled “ Who Is God Calling You to Be ” by Sarah Jakes RobertÅ›. In the journey of faith, we often encounter challenges that test our resolve and beliefs. However, we have power to war. When faced with adversity, it’s vital to put our knowledge of Scripture to work and crash the head of the serpent. The Bible reminds us of the enmity between us and the serpent, as stated in Genesis 3:15 (NIV) “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” This powerful verse serves as a battle cry, urging us to fight back against depression, anxiety, fear, life’s challenges and the lies that tell us we are not good enough or that our dreams are too big to attain. When challenges arise, we must go back to the feet of Jesus. There, we can pick His brain and meditate on what He tells us. It’s essential to internalize these teachings and repeat them to ourselves. When the enemy r...
