A Daily Dose of Treasure

 Understanding... How would you feel if someone took what belonged to you, let's say a diamond, without your knowledge? Crazy question, right? Of course you'd be furious! Why would this person take what was mine?  How dare he/she? This person obviously knows that this precious jewel, this beautiful possession is mine and still has the audacity to take it!  But here's a simple truth, you didn't even know it was yours to begin with and so, all of the drama wouldn't hold water, and most definitely would not be taking place. Now here's the unique thing. The scenario above depicts how we truly are today! We basically do not know what we have! We do not know essentially whom we are. We walk around with our golds in our pockets without a care in the world because we do not know the value of what we have in us and even without our knowledge, this priceless possession is swiped from us right under our noses and we're left with nothing but a shadow of the glory and po

Sunday 2/7/23 "Once have I spoken, twice have you heard" is the dilemma that I see myself in as I look at my previous journalling prompts. God had taken me in my walk with him and told me things. Things that I couldn't understand until it was knocked right into my head. There are a lot of instances of bible verses, of write ups that I made that had answers already set out for them. I had seen them, but I did not understand. I had felt weak and tired, and I let all of these things pass over my head. Looking at my journal today made me realize that answers had already been given, but I was too ignorant to hear. Romans 8:23 had been given in the early month of May to answer my question on choosing the right path for my life. I read it over and over again trying to strengthen my spirit to trust God, but it's not a 'by myself' thing... He works it out. The following month, June, I went to a church where that word, where those answers kept ringing out. W

5:30am_ 3/7/23  How time flies... It's funny how around this time I was the teens president in Church (Yes, even this quiet girl has a role to play). It's so intriguing how this month was for me, my turning point. I was the President after all, and being a leader meant that there were responsibilities on your shoulders. It was around this time of the year where the teenagers had their teens week and for me, it was absolute chaos. One of our teenage teachers had left church and she was basically the mother hen and support system for our church... My very own positive momentum, and she had left. For a while things had been disoriented but God sure had plans and right about that moment, we had a new teacher who had just as more energy as our previous one and way more strict too (in a loving way). I believe everything that happens, even the bad things, happens for a reason. All of these moments, now that I recount them had built me in some way. I no longer had someone w

29-07-23...  Saturday Morning, July would be ending in a few days, and let's just say that this month has been a really eventful one. Three days have gone by since I started researching on a mini job that I've been doing and let's just say that while I'm constantly learning, it's been a full day. Going back on track though... July has been one of those months where you just sit back and wonder, "Do I really deserve this much?" It might seem like something small but to me, it's a lot. Everyday I look at my life, the one thing that comes to mind is, "I am a living testimony of God's hand being in a person's life and this is only then beginning of the mighty things he is set to do." I am a testimony of his unique favour and blessings, and I do not take it for granted. It may not look like it at the moment, but God is working behind the scene not just in my life, but to everyone reading this. I would want to go details about t

 Hello April, It has been quite a really intriguing way to start the month. I posted something a few days ago, and it blew up beyond my thoughts. I received a few comments on the post recently, and it just popped up in my mind that this little word could have touched or been a blessing to someone. I felt so weak because that particular word had a different meaning for me, and if it did have that meaning for me, what about others? What had other people been going through when this word reached them? How had they been feeling? Had they been confused, and then this word popped up on their page?  It's astonishing how we can be tools from God to answer the questions that have been bothering others. I've always been in my own bubble and have always questioned many things one way or the other. I've had a lot of times when I hesitated because I was afraid of what others thought of me or if what I actually put up made sense, but this post has shown me that there are people whom you

25/02/23. 2:00am It's the early hours of this election period and I can barely sleep at an hour like this mostly because I slept earlier today and had been watching an animation series. Earlier yesterday, I had severe stomach cramps that had me rolling on the ground like I had been possessed. You would actually think so if you saw me.  A few hours or so (I don't know for how long I was in that state), I eventually passed out and was able to fall asleep. One could say that at that moment, I was breathing hysterically. Anyways, I'm glad that I'm over such a situation. Recently, I've been thinking a lot about my future and how I'd move ahead in my life. I've been thinking of my purpose and what/who I'm impacting in this world. Over the passed few months, that has been my thought and after the bible school programme, I wanted to start from somewhere. Before I could go any further, I just had to ask myself, "Who really am I? What is holding me back? How
