'GUARD' YOUR HEART

Guard: Protect, look after/ be watchful

The word of God instructs us "above all else (most importantly), guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it . Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes looks straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steady fast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or left, keep your foot from evil." -Proverbs 4: 23-27



I would say my father loves me so much to actual help me be right and do right. I have clear instructions to refer to and follow. 💜 Personally, i need to be taught and reminded. I need my hand to be held, and to be shown the next step i should take. I DO NOT want to do this life thing alone. And to have God care this much about all my life details and actually meet these needs, its really mind-blowing. It causes me to randomly go down on my knees in the house, irrespective of the room am in and say 'Thank You Father! It causes me to thank him for my mobility and to ask him 'how do you think i should handle this task dad?' We are a team! Because i am somewhat familiar with his works my heart chooses to follow him all seasons. The bloomy, the dry, the cold and the warm. 

Life is really interesting (sigh), it needs the one who created it. Some seasons are amazing, some are really not in my bucket list, i just learn to work with what is given as i make the most out of it. Guarding the heart is monitoring the thoughts, being aware of the power they have on the emotions, attitude and actions. It is human nature to get sad/ discouraged because of the thoughts we conceive and entertain from what we have seen or heard. We are not in control of what we experience but we have control over our bodies. We can make choices and adjustments. Every emotion can be a driving forces to our actions, if its heavy try letting go of the unhelpful baggage.

The word says we 'live by faith not sight" -2Corinthians 5:7. God is the Alpha and the Omega he Knows the end from the beginning. Father has the whole picture of life, we might be going through pain now, an hour later experience healing or joy. To live by faith for me is to try and not waste the minutes of life worrying about something that already has a solution. Instead, i give thanks, and entertain positive thoughts. It doesn't always happen instantly, sometimes i fail a number of times before i get it right. I deeply love positivity, i love hope, it make the minutes of life worthy.


Life does get disruptive, but making time for what is important gives us an opportunity to see more of its beauty. Here's a little secrete: i have a relationship with myself, best friend vibes. I am truthful with myself and this helps me to continue being reflective and fair. I love God simply because he showed me he is the dad I've always wanted. When i need protection or help with anything your physical dad would do for you, he already knows about it and he sends me help.😊 This thing is a relationship. I feel honored, its too big to understand but its real.

In conclusion "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth."-Psalm 121:1-2

An alignment conversation 🥰😌

Sometimes, the best way to discover what you truly love is to look back at your younger self. Before the influence of society, teachings, and expectations shaped your perspective, your younger self knew the raw, honest truth about your passions. Reconnecting with that inner voice can reveal what genuinely sparks joy and purpose inside you beyond all the noise and external opinions. In this blog, I’ll share how who I am passionate about now is deeply connected to that authentic, childlike clarity, in the form of a prayer rooted in assurance and hope for what seemed like a far future then. One thing about this guy, he’s fulfilled every genuine, unselfish request I ever made to God about adult love. When I was 11, I prayed for a life partner, a best friend really, trusting that when the time was right and I was older and ready, I’d find someone special. Now, being with you feels exactly like what I imagined during those prayers, like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, living out the best ...

Strength & Power

"You are strong!" "You are powerful!" Lately I have a problem with the words "you are strong" being spoken to me by someone who cares or me speaking them to myself, than before. I have substituted strength for power. I now affirm  "I am powerful" instead of "I am strong"! According to the dictionary this is what being strong; and being powerful mean: In a nutshell, "powerful" = full of power, it can mean you are capable of exerting power, potency or influence. Whereas, "Strong" is being tough, mentally or physically. In most cases, when an individual says "you are strong" what they are trying to do is to pull strength out of you. They are trying to get you back to a position of zeal from a position of vulnerability. These words are intended to lift instead of pulling down. These words are expressed to correct. In my experience these words amplify a different message of late than before. Every time I think a...

Is Perfect Good?

I have struggled with perfection not becoming my reality. There have been situations where I wished I had the power to make everything align with what I had in mind. By perfect , I mean making things happen exactly as I intended; without error, without failure, without disappointment, and without anything that could be criticised or rejected. I struggled because perfection was not becoming my reality. Things were not always agreeable, they were not always my first option, and they did not always turn out the way I had envisioned. Through this struggle, I have come to realise that I am not in control. If I were truly in control, it would mean that I am moving on my own strength, depending on myself to make everything work, to make every situation perfect, to make every outcome align with my intentions and the picture I have created in my mind. But the struggle continued, and it still continues. I am not in control. As I wrestled with this, I found myself questioning the idea of perfecti...
