KNOW YOURSELF FOR YOURSELF


Know yourself for yourself.

It sounds simple, but it’s one of the most powerful things you can ever do.


I know when my wig no longer matches my face,

not because anyone tells me,

but because I can see it.

I can feel it.

I know when I’ve worn a look for too long

and it’s time to change things,

switch things up,

or give myself a fresh start.


Sometimes that means getting a new wig.

Sometimes it just means fixing my hair.

But the point is: I don’t need anyone to remind me

of who I am or when it’s time to evolve.


In the same way,

you shouldn’t wait for people to tell you about yourself.

You shouldn’t depend on others to confirm what God has already said about you.

People can misread you.

People can misunderstand you.

People can under or overestimate you.

But God doesn’t.

And you shouldn’t either.


When you know yourself, truly, deeply,

you know when a season is over.

You know when a mindset no longer fits.

You know when a habit is blocking your growth.

You know when it’s time to shift, adjust, or upgrade.


Don’t let anyone narrate your life for you.

Don’t let anyone be the keeper of your identity.


Stand in the truth God has spoken about you.

See yourself the way He sees you.

Recognize when it’s time to change, rise, or reinvent without needing anyone’s permission.


Because the same way you know

when your wig stops matching your face,

that’s how clearly your spirit will know

when something stops matching your destiny.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

GOD SLOWS YOU DOWN

​ Sometimes God slows you down so He can show you what you were too busy to notice.  There was a season in my life when everything felt like it was moving backwards. Plans that once flowed easily began to stumble. Doors I thought would open effortlessly suddenly became heavy. I kept asking, “God, why are You slowing me down when I’m finally ready to run?” But the more I struggled to push forward, the more life insisted that I pause. And in that stillness,  the one I didn’t choose  I started to see what I had been too busy to notice. I noticed the habits that were draining my strength. I noticed the people who clapped for me publicly but resented me privately. I noticed the warning signs I had ignored because I was too focused on getting ahead. I noticed me, the me I had been neglecting. God wasn’t punishing me. He was protecting me. He was whispering, “Slow down. Let Me show you what you missed.” And what I saw in that pause changed everything.  Sometimes the slowdow...

A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
