Little Light (,Growing in this harsh world).

Dear Father,

I'm trying not to dwell on the negative parts of my life, but a frequent dose of negativity is never seen as a good thing.

It traumatizes you in ways you can never imagine.

I want to prove them all wrong, show them that I don't need to rely on them (each of my past and present truamitizing moments and people) to succeed.

I want them to know that no matter how they try to make me weak and cry, I'll always come out stronger. I want them to know that I don't need them as my source of survival and that God can use anyone to help me grow.

Over the course of my birthday wishes, I felt extremely loved.

One word in particular struck me.

"Light!"

"You're a light!"

"Let your light continue to shine brighter!"

All these words from people who see absolutely what I don't see.

I know I'm made to touch lives at one point in this life but, I'm not seeing what these people see.

Not seeing what is so outstanding about this Treasure.

Father I'm not sure what I want to do at this point, but I want to live a calm and peaceful life that resides only in you.

Your Daughter,

Tee.

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...

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...

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...
