The journey not the destination

      A list of my answered prayers

I am on my way home from work with a friend in his car, we are talking about how tired we are. He attended a funeral on Sunday and it dawned on him “this is where it ends”, he shares this with me. I add by saying “ we are born, we start school, we grow we start work and eventually we died. He proceeds by saying one day you will be laying and we will be saying “here lies a body of the beloved Melone.” As I was almost getting off he says life is war. 

 ***

This lead to a conception of a thought in my head, that we are here to work, and work, and prove that we are worth the kingdom of God. My heart sank and it was gloomy. This thought broke my heart. I got in the house took a shower and made food.  While I was eating my soul sang ‘Saviour- by Tye Tribbett) I was then drawn to prayer. 

I remembered to search for affirmations in form of verses that will bring my heart home. To remind me now that it matters to be grateful because there is a lot to be grateful for. Like a list of my answered prayers. While I was praying I started quoting verses like “my help cometh from the Lord, “He will never leave me nor forsake me”, I proceed and at some point I started expressing gratitude that even though my exhaustion penetrates to my souls I am greatly blessed. Life is indeed beautiful after all. 

I prayed to God and he did exceed my expectations more than once, more than twice. At the right time truly when he does answer he does it so well that there be no room for questions on who did it. God and “class”😍 for me. If he did it before he will do it again. Class is his standard. As I am about to journal the list of my answered prayers I will leave you with these two gorgeous truthful verses hoping they will encourage you as they did for me.

1. “ Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” -Hebrew 10:23

2. “ Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.” -Jeremiah 1:12

Lastly, I am leaving you with a song I am currently listening to (on repeat) as I am typing this. “I will respond by Travis Green. I hope you do enjoy. Remember to show yourself and others grace, you are doing this life thing the first time. Everyday is a first. It is well with your soul. I love you! ❤️

This is IT right here 🪄✨

  December last year.  I love her 😍  I was going through hell and back here. Guys, 2024 needs to be erased from the history of years—no ways! But I still tried to do the things that felt true to me, like being creative with my wardrobe. :) Now, I am the happiest. I am as happy as a toddler learning things for the first time. I am as happy as a young adult who’s realizing things her younger self always dreamt of. I last felt this alive before my teens—before my diagnosis with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. I am so very much at peace; feeling strong has become the cornerstone of my inner serenity. If this was the only gift I had to receive from God, I wouldn’t dare ask for anything else. Or think of trading it for anything later down the line. This is IT right here!!! I am sooooo happy—said a girl who suffered joint pain, swelling, stiffness, redness, warmth around the joints, fatigue, fever, rash, loss of appetite, weight loss, limping, decreased range of motion, eye prob...

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 bes...

Am not running out of time

Looking back at my life, I realise I’ve always started early. I began Grade 1 at the age of 5, started university at 17, and bought my first property at 23. I enjoyed the fact that people noticed I was the youngest in class, and I worked hard to be among the top 10 students at school. This drive really began when I chose my subjects and followed my commitment to excelling or should I say, slaying in life. In June 2024, I made the brave decision to leave my job because I chose myself and my health over demanding work. My career requires me to constantly pour into others, and most of the time I had to fake being well and energetic, even on days when I was crumbling inside. I remember one day vividly: I had just returned from external moderation, exhausted, with a badly swollen eye from allergies my eye was barely open. Yet, I still went straight into a parents’ meeting at 16:00, showing up as if nothing was wrong, despite the obvious. That’s who I’ve been all my life: pushing through, be...
