Enjoying the NOW

Welcome back everyone!

It has been a while since I have uploaded a blog but I am so happy to be back with another one. Today’s blog is about enjoying the now! Being at peace with where you are on your lives journey and embracing every single moment of what is happening right now. 

I love where I am in my life. I am a blessed 26 year old woman who is learning about herself every single day, growing closer to God, better understanding my purpose in this life, accomplishing things I never thought I would, always striving to be better, determined to be a better version of the person I was just yesterday.

However, these thoughts can sometimes cause me to overthink my future. I find I am always waning to strive for more. Constantly asking myself ; ‘what can I do next?’ ‘what else can I achieve?’ ‘How can I get to this point?’ Although these are good, positive thoughts as it will encourage me to push myself and achieve great things, I have to remember that if I keep looking at what the next big thing is, or the next move, I am never going to be satisfied or content with where I am right now and what I have achieved so far in my life.

I was watching a video of a few Doctors getting interviewed and the interviewee asked them ‘what is your biggest regret as a medical student?’ Majority of them said ‘wishing I hadn’t been so studious, wishing I spent more time with my friends, wishing I went out more.’ They all achieved their goal but was so caught up in reaching it that they didn’t enjoy the process along the way and looking back they had regrets.

I was talking to God and this video randomly popped in my head. It encouraged me to pray to God to help me to enjoy this moment in my life and to stop overthinking about the goal ahead, stop stressing and fighting myself with where I want to be at certain points in my life and to appreciate this season I am currently in.

As much as you have your goals in life that you aspire to achieve, appreciate and embrace the process of where you currently are and enjoy every single second of it. Life is so beautiful, God created such a beautiful, amazing world and we should cherish every moment of it, cherish the blessings he has poured down on us and ‘do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own’ (Matthew 6:34).

I encourage you all to stop, take a minute, inhale in, exhale out and thank God for all he has done for you. ‘Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Be thankful unto him and bless his name’ (Psalm 100:4). There is so much to be thankful for. God has brought you from a long way. Look how far you have come! So stop stressing and worrying about what the future holds. Stop overthinking! God has guaranteed you a prosperous future. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

So enjoy the journey. Let God guide you, let God lead you, make room for him on this journey with you and stay blessed x

No one starts late. They start.

​ Hi guys! Welcome back to another blog. I cannot believe today is the third day of August! Is it me, or has 2023 been flying by??? Nevertheless, I hope this year has been amazing for you so far! Only 4 Months left of this year. I pray the rest of your year will be blessed in Jesus name.   Todays’ blog topic is called; ‘No one starts late. They start.’ In my previous blogs I speak a lot about purpose. However, in this blog I want to go into further depth.  Everyone has their own personal journey in life, there is a reason why we are born at a certain time, into a certain generation, into a certain family, into a certain country; God does not make any mistakes. There is a reason why God designed and constructed it to be this way. There is a reason and a purpose for why you are here. There is a reason why God chose you.  In Ecclesiastes 3:11 it states; ‘He hath made everything beautiful in his time.’  I want to speak to those who feel as though they are behind. Those w...

Falling back

Thank you Lord for today, thank you for waking us up to see this beautiful new day that you have made, thank you for your grace, thank you for your mercy, thank you for who you are, thank you for never changing, thank you for never turning your back on us even when we slack on our Christian walk; when we go through periods where we’re not praying as much, not being as consistent in studying the word, slowly falling back into old ways, we thank you Lord. In Jesus name we pray Amen. Today I want to talk about ‘falling back’ falling back on our journey with Christ. Being a Christian is not easy and sometimes we do slack on the journey. We find ourselves in a time where we don’t pray as much or we’re not reading the Bible consistently and I felt I had reached that point. I spoke to a friend who is on her own personal journey with God, told her I had these moments where I felt as though I would fall back every now and then and proceeded to ask how she was able to keep on top of her reli...

Manifesting vs Praying

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another blog! If you’re new here, welcome! Today I want to speak on the topic of manifesting versus praying. I have noticed for a while now, that a lot of people get the two confused, therefore I believe it is my duty as Woman of God to address this topic and hopefully those who are reading will come to a better understanding of what manifesting and prayer is and how they are different from each other.  Manifesting is the act of bringing something into existence, through thoughts, actions, and emotions. When you focus your energy on what you want to create, you’re effectively manifesting it into existence. You’ve heard a lot of times ‘manifest what you want’, or the more popular one; ‘speak it into existence!’ (which I too have been guilty of) and if you do this, whatever you want is yours. On the other hand, the Bible tells us in Philippians 4:6; ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving le...
