Sunday Echo: All the way before screens



Shut out the noise. Take it back to a time before screens, before TikTok, before Instagram, before a feed that feeds envy rather than life. Live in the present. Feel the wind on your skin, notice the small movements around you, and soak in the colors of the world. Engage with nature, do the things you love, and let time pass gently as you invest in what genuinely satisfies your soul. Seek knowledge about your passions, and believe this moment is the best time because it is the place where your unique gifts can grow. Remember that lack of knowledge can dull a people’s purpose; pursue wisdom, and let that wisdom transform your actions. When you feel pulled toward self-destruction or despair, choose a path of hope, mentorship, and constructive discipline. Spend time in the right way: in prayer, in study, in meaningful relationships, and in activitites that honors God's design for your life.

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...
