Turn your mess into your message…
… And your pain into your power. Whatever your cross is, it is a preparation for your crown. Whatever you’re going through someone has been through and another person will. Your testimony will uplift them through the same so your mess could be the message that someone else needs to pull through their own situation.…

Progress
Any progress is better than no progress at all. Sometimes your progress may look like a bunch of failures. Nobody ever said your journey would be easy. It should simply be worth it. Some days you’ll be on a streak, some days you’ll be staring at a wall, other times at your trail that seems…

Fight.
Don’t give up. Go to bed everyday with the hope of tomorrow’s dawn. Wake up everyday, dress up and show up. Trouble don’t last always. Whatever you’re going through shall pass. When you have overcome this battle, you’ll be better for it. You will be okay, more than okay after it has passed. Survivor is…

Loneliness and solitude.
Alone is not at all equivalent to lonely. You can be alone but completely happy and content with your solitude. Some people are so good at solitude. Solitude does not always translate to loneliness, an unpleasant emotional response to perceived isolation. Solitude can infact be very freeing and rejuvenating. It allows us to clear out…

Children are the future.
I sometimes lose hope looking at the state of the world and seeing so much negativity, anger and hatred. I have seen a number of peope who have decided that they won’t bring children into such a world. I know though that when we look around intently we shall find so much good going on,…

A little more tenderness for yourself.
To the overachievers, the high standard people, the lovers of humanity, the codepeñdency sweethearts who look out for people and want to fix people and things always. You are most prone to being extremely hard on yourself – to expect nothing short of excellence from yourself while being extremely generous with your compassion towards everyone…

Everybody needs somebody.
Somebody who is your person. To the world you may be one person but to one person you can be the world. They are lucky who find someone like this in their lifetime. Their person. This is extremely special and would be the best experience in any human lifetime. Think about having someone in your…

Pray
Anytime is prayer time. By all means pray. When you’re happy and rejoicing; pray in Thanksgiving. Even when you’re tempted to feel anxious and worried, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard…

Walk tall
Walk tall when you see from a fall. Dust yourself and rise. You loved, you fought, you lost. You came, you showed up and showed out. That’s okay. Get on up and stand on your feet; shoulders back and square, chin up, eyes forward and walk tall. The greatest shame is what we carry within…

Hold out for love
I totally pulled this off of Facebook. Makes lots of sense. You can’t blame me. Am a sucker for love.

You’re never a finished product.
There is a constant temptation in my heart and mind to sit back in complacent not so desirable comfort which is easy, until I am reminded that I haven’t scratched the surface of my potential. I remember that this is not the dream and I am not nearly done forming into my truest self. I…

Fall forward.
It is okay to move. There are dreams and visions that we hold which can seem so far off that we feel so powerless on our pursuit of them. My dreams and visions are bigger than me, sometimes appear to be so far away from my reach. That is fine. My philosophy is to move…

Happy alone ?
What I mean is I am comfortable , confident and stable. I love so deeply and so tenderly I give everything there is in my heart to give And that is scary Because I don’t know about others. It is stable on this ground. So, what I mean by I am happy alone is that…

Come to the Father.
I landed on this very straight forward very nice piece on Facebook and couldn’t help thinking this should be the attitude of every Christian in every church. When we become so self righteous that we don’t recognize our sons, we become unwelcoming to people who are in places where we ourselves could have been save…

Seasons
I have been through a whole long spell of feeling like I am in the wrong place and not enjoying my time fully in this place where I have for sure been divinely placed. It took me a minute to realise that I indeed was living in anticipation of joy and happiness instead of simply…

Hurt is hurt
It is true that no one can tell the extent and the depth of someone’s pain until or unless you have walked in their shoes as that person. In other words, even if you walked in their shoes, unless you are that person you can not fully comprehend how someone hurts and how much they…

Words that old school parents only insinuate.
I love you. There is a category of parents from different tribes, ethnic groups, nationalities, …through different continents who just won’t say they love you. They can go to the Moon and back for you. They in fact do things that prove this. They will rip the coat off of their own back to cover…
