The SS 4

If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!)

‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness?

This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17:

1.      Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us.

2.     Purpose: God has a purpose for everything He does, He is a God of order, He doesn’t do things on a whim. I should ask, why am I here? If I am here and its uncomfortable, then it is for my growth, because He has a purpose for everything.

3.     Provision: God is all sufficient, He has it all, but He won’t fund any idea or plan that is not HIS.  If I am in the place He placed me, If I am doing His purpose, then the provision would come. I don’t even have to struggle for it, as long as it is His will, He would come through.

4.     Identity: God has made me in His image, I know this because of His word; any definition of who I am outside His word is a false identity. Regardless of what labels people give, as long as it is outside His word, it is not for me, it doesn’t define me, it is fake. Ironically, the enemy is scared when I find and know my identity in Christ because then He cannot label or impress a fake identity on my person.

I’ll conclude these series in the next part. I promise.




With love,

Short story type of day

By
I wrote this while I was in church (please don't judge me , it just popped in my mind and I began to write) She felt something slowly tickle her face, she ignored it the first and second time, then it began to move more rapidly than before. She woke up in a startle, disoriented and wondered what could have been causing this, it felt like it was on her face, she touched her face and it was wet, 'what's this?' she asked herself because it was dark. She quickly jumped up and flicked the switch on.. She screamed when she saw it was blood! The small dark spot on her pillow and on her nightie (when she sat up) were both evidence that she was bleeding from her nose. 'No, no not again' she cried. 'This can't be happening again' she said! Then she quickly remembered she was to tilt her head up whenever her nose began to bleed, she tilted her head and waited a couple of minutes but it didn't stop. She began to panic because she was loosin...

The Halo Effect

By
Are you exhibiting the halo effect? Do you buy products because of the celebrity representing it? Or stay in a relationship that is wrong because of one good quality? We are all attracted to people all the time. What attracts us to others? And what attracts you? When you meet someone for the first time you draw a conclusion about them, subconsciously you decide whether you like them or not. BUT is it possible that one trait or aspect of one's character can influence your perception about them? Honestly, I judge a person's character based on their physical appearance, its a quick judgment that is very likely inaccurate. The good thing is that once I begin to have a conversation, I realize there's more to the person than just physical looks. (Well that's for those that are actually more than their looks). The halo effect can cloud our judgment even when we know about it. When one good quality spills its appeal unto other elements of a per...
