Do you know your worth?

 I learnt something about myself yesterday... Hi there! If you're new to my blog, welcome! My name is Treasure, and I love to journal and write. Well, this is my own world because I share my own 'little' thoughts here. I consider myself a quiet and self-aware person. On this blog, I document every growing and limiting moment of my life.  I do hope that this blog inspires someone. Welp, let's dive in! I realized something about myself yesterday. I'm quite the achiever - maybe not an overachiever, but I want to do great things and do it well. My phone is my biggest distraction, especially when I use it for the wrong reasons, social media is cool but it can be both my breaking point and rising point (if I need an adrenaline rush, that is). Yesterday, while looking through old messages from my dear friend, I felt a huge sense of how unrealistic I had been. The more I thought of the situation, the more I saw how and why I felt the need to please others so much... The ans...

Choosing to Trust God

This has to be the most trying moment of my life. 1 John 5:4 – For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory. Have you ever experienced fear so much that you could cut it with a knife? Over the course of this year, I have felt anxiety that would be considered toxic for anyone. On most days, it felt deafening, and all I wanted to do was cry. On other days, I'd pull myself together and try to fix the pieces.  I had to ask myself, "Why?"  I wasn't like this before! I had moments where I was scared, but never anything like this. I could feel myself drowning in self-pity when I knew that I could be courageous and take a step further, but I remained here... in this dark place. The moments ahead of me were ones where I had to make real choices for my life, and I was afraid of making the wrong choices and of remaining small. I didn't want to miss out on the good things of life and make a mistake that was costly for me, and so I chos...

For the moments when you feel stuck!

  I started this year with a lot of enthusiasm... I remained expectant for the best. I had plans that I wanted to accomplish, and I wasn't going to miss it. As time went on, things started going off track, and I wasn't having it. I tried all that I could to keep everything in order, but the more I tried, the more I fell apart. I was losing myself and my focus.  I was always feeling guilty about things that I did and didn't do. At the end, I broke down. I thought that I just needed to be strong, but I realised that I needed a mind shift, and this shift occurred in the most unique way ever. I had to learn by letting go. Strength wasn't the only thing that mattered to me at this moment, and I realise that now. This write-up isn't to confuse or give you a reason to pity me but to remind you that in moments where you think that all you'll need is your strength and willpower, Abba is calling you to depend on him more. While I had my plans, and of course planning is go...

The Story Behind The Smile

"Treasure, no matter what you do, don't loose your smile ."   This had to have been the nth time someone has said this!  I've been complimented a lot of times for having a beautiful smile. In fact, my boss had mentioned that my smile could light up a whole room...  If I can remember correctly, she had mentioned how much of a magnetic effect it had on people and how it could influence how people perceived me. I couldn't help the smile that crept up on my face as she said these words, and just like that, she pointed it out again. That million dollar smile had to have been the key to my job. The Story Behind The Smile Do you know the unique thing about my smile?  It's the fact that before now, before the thrilling smile that we all see on Treasure's face, there was a moment where I had trouble smiling. There was a time where I had looked in the mirror like I did this morning and felt like I was the worst. I didn't like my looks, and most of all, there was...

Starting All Over Again? An Upgrade!

Hello there! Happy new year and welcome to my blog space.  You'd imagine that this blog would have been shut down by now. I'd think so as well, but I realise that I've really missed writing A LOT! I've had memories from years ago; it sounds like a really long time, locked up in this blog, so much so that I can't delete them, and so instead of letting them go, I'd revamp them. This blog first started from a desire to emulate a role model, Ezinne Zara. There! I finally told myself the truth.  I had asked God about it, prayed about it, and even spent months delaying it before I finally stepped out to do it. Since then, I've loved everything about it. It became a daily blog, and I told myself that I could do it, and so I showed up every single day for months, writing thoughts that came to mind. I wrote about my relationship with God and how my life had been faring, but then I stopped. I couldn't meet up, and sincerely, it didn't look like anyone was read...

The Journey Thus Far

I remember when I just started out my Christian journey. It was the toughest thing ever for me.  I the basic knowledge of who God was, at least I thought I did. I only knew what our teens teacher had taught us, "Read your bible, pray every day!" At least that was the most basic thing that I could remember thus far. My walk with God remained mundane up until 2022 - The year I became the teens president and had my basic foundation teachers leave the Church for greater things ahead. I had little to no knowledge of what to do other than the words that they had told me, "Ask God!" You could imagine my surprise when I heard those words.  Ask who? I could barely ask a teacher a question in class and now you want me to ask who? I don't even hear him to begin with. But that was it... That was the answer I had been given when I needed help, and that was just what I had done. Not long after, I came in contact with social media Christian influencers and content creators in ...

Starting All Over Again

7:44pm  Saturday, 16th, November 2024. It's been a long while since I've been up in this space. I just read a post from a few months back and it made me realize that I really miss writing. It's been like what? A few months? A year maybe without consistently writing on the blog. In these few months that have passed though, I have grown, and I am learning constantly to be patient with myself. I've had time to read, develop, and basically build on myself. One thing is certain though, I still have a lot to learn, and this is only the beginning of my life's journey...  Okay, okay... I think I've somewhat started it or maybe gone through a mock phase of life's journey. Hmmm...  I've experienced growth, and I can see what the Lord is doing in my life. I see how intentional God is about each and every one of his children.  Just a head's up to all old and new readers, there's a lot of God in my writeups and I'm unapologetic about it. I love the Lord s...
