  • 365 Days ✅️.

    This has been a test of discipline and consistency. On day 185 I missed 1 day of reading the Bible. I was gutted. I almost gave up, focusing on the miss rather than focusing on the win. I contacted the Bible app team and explained my goal. They reinstated my streak🙏🏽. Lesson: find solutions, keep moving and never let failure stop you.

    I started the year 2025 with a singular goal. I knew deep down that writing goals or setting objectives was not what I was meant to do. I entered the year in a state I couldn’t understand, but I had one singular clear thought. Read your Bible.

    Reflecting on this, this is what I was always meant to do, but boy did 2025 become the toughest year mentally for me. I documented where I could my thoughts and my reflections. The year hurt on many levels. I was reminded that I express myself better in the written word. I tried to write when I could face it.

    I know God has given me A skill set to help. I prayed when I was 13, I wanted to be a lender(giver) and not a borrower (receiver) One person at a time. Most times behind closed doors and behind the scenes. I have been called to solve problems. I am loyal. I am a helper. It is who I am.

    Gods word is love and also a tough pill to swallow in some aspects (cue some old Testament chapters!). But the overarching message I got and which is my Mission statement are:

    Obey God

    Fear Him

    Trust God

    LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR.

    That is all I need to do. His plans are my plans. He has always always taken care of me. My family is entrusted to him. I will stop worrying,  focusing only on him. My Career has always been dictated by God. I received two timely words this year which shocked me to the core. It reminded me again that Abba Father Loves me.

    *No Confusion, Only Clarity*

    The Lord is saying to you,  *there will be no confusion for you at work*
    The fog lifts.
    The uncertainty dissolves.
    The questions that once clouded your mind are being replaced with divine clarity.

    For the Lord Himself has *made a clear path for you*  a straight way, a guided lane a divinely illuminated track.

    “I will go before you and make the crooked places straight” Isaiah 45:2.
    Nothing about your next steps is random. Heaven is intentional about you.

    He says,
    “My dynamism
    My power is at work in you.”
    You are not navigating by your own strength, not relying on your own intellect.
    The Spirit of God is actively, presently, powerfully at work within you *“both to will and to do of His good pleasure”* hallelujah Philippians 2

    And the Lord invites you now:
    *“Take a fresh breath of My Ruach.”*
    Breathe in My Spirit. Breathe in My life. Breathe in My wisdom. For the breath of God brings alignment, illumination and peace.

    As you inhale His Ruach, *clarity will grace your brows*
    You will carry a quiet confidence.
    Answers will come easily.
    Decisions will flow. Peace will settle on you like oil.
    For *“the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord”* Proverbs 20:27 and your candle is being freshly lit.

    EL Roi says:
    No confusion.
    No fear.
    No hesitation.
    My path for you is clear,
    and My power in you is active.

    Walk in that clarity, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen Amen Amen

    I am in AWE of GOD. I read through some of my write ups this year and I can see every single step has been orchestrated by Him.

    Thank you father, for the gift of your words.

    2026 = FOCUS ON GOD and with that comes clarity. It is time to build. I Know that God has gone before me. I just need to stand confident knowing he has done it.

  • Gratitude Day + 2

    I have spent all week consciously feeding my soul as I realised something again, I am the master of my thought. No one is coming to save me. The human part of me wants those around me to temporarily carry me emotionally.  Is that practical?  Most likely not.

    Everyone is busy,  and short of me not being manically depressed…..I figure no one wants to keep asking me how I am. But I do need it from time to time. 

    What have I done? I have consciously gone back  to reading my Bible 1st before checking messages on waking up, actively listening to praise and worship, reading a bible plan on gratitude, and finally consciously trying to change my sleep patterns. It’s been 7 weeks, so it will take time to break the pattern.  Today is day 5 of mission sleep all night. I pray for success by day 14 max.

    Today’s Bible plan journalling prompts:

    • What people in your life make you smile? My daughter. I am always reminded she is a very precious gift from God.  The years of anguish faded in the instance of her arrival.
    • Who made you laugh this week? YA did. She was hilarious that I had forgotten for a bit. Thank you for using humor to snap me out of a funk. She actually threatened body harm if I didn’t get up and go and shower.
    • What is the best thing about today? Last day in London this week. Whoop whoop
    • What scripture is speaking to you today? For God has not given me a spirit of fear but a sound mind
    • What is your favorite thing that happened in the last 24 hours? I experienced a sense of peace I haven’t felt in weeks.

    Day by day, we add to our mental resilience muscle.

  • 3rd December 2024

    An amazing day. A day that started quite solemn and quickly escalated to joy unimaginable. That was treatment day, and on route to the hospital, a call came in that I didn’t pick. I assumed what they wanted to discuss and decided I’ll return the call on route home. Fast forward 15mins later, I return the call and they start speaking.

    Have you ever had a call where what you expect to hear is the complete opposite from what is being spoken? I just remember screeching to a halt and screaming my head off. Thank God no no was driving behind me. I got news that was Euphoric. A reminder that God was still in the business of performing miracles.. My long awaited Niece graced the world less than 24 hours earlier, taking us all by Surprise. 14 Years, 2 months and 22 days after, you arrived and graced us with your presence. This has downright been the best news in 2024 and a perfect way to start the last month. I called Dee with the good news just before he went in. Our minds feed positively on good news.

    Safe to say I spent the day smiling and Praising God. God is faithful.
