Addicted. Addiction. They are such ‘hard’ words but I’ve come to believe that in order to overcome – or at least begin to overcome – them you have to admit that they actual exist. So that’s my first step: I have a slight addiction to my phone and more specifically social media, messaging and generally […]
JEHOVAH JIREH, MY PROVIDER
Guys, this is a really real, really raw post, because right now, in this very moment, I am feeling some really real, really raw feelings. It is days like this, moments like these that I begin to understand why they call God Jehovah Jireh! He is a provider. When you need something, He will supply […]
GATHERING OF QUEENS – WHY WE MUST REFER TO OURSELVES AS QUEENS
There is nothing better than being surrounded by beautiful (inside and out), strong, empowered women – all supporting and motivating each other. – This is what is known as a Gathering of Queens. My uni’s African Affairs Network organised a social event they called ‘the Gathering of Queens’. I was instantly hooked and promised myself […]

EATING ALONE
I had a me, myself and I kind of day. As selfish as that sounds, sometimes it is greatly needed and incredibly healthy. It was about time I did something by myself, for myself. I got to explore my city more and ended up finding places that I never knew existed. After about 3 hours of […]
TRU LIFE’S, TRU FRIENDS – GUEST BLOGGER
“I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends are not just that, they are the people that touch your heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it […]
IT’S PERSONAL…
I wrote this a long time ago but I didn’t post it for the very reason that it is personal. I do not worry as much now, which is why I am posting it now. But everything I say still applies. Respect my wishes. — It’s times like this that I strongly dislike having people […]
THE ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF CHRISTMAS
Christmas time is definitely everyone’s favourite time of year, but I worry that people forget what the reason for this season is. This is because over the past few decades, we as a society have added things to Christmas and subtracted vital things from it. – Happy Holidays! I first noticed ‘Happy Holidays’ replacing Merry […]
PRAY FOR PARIS, PRAY FOR HUMANITY
My heart is really heavy, right now. There are so many things going on in the world that make me feel small, and useless and out of control. Yes, I know this is not about me but I want to be able to feel like I have done something to reduce the hurt that our world […]
THE TREASURES OF THE HEART
“Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”Matthew 6:21 NLT Whatever thing (or person) that is always in your mind becomes a god or an idol on your life. Whatever thing (or person) is the first thing you check in the morning or constantly do because you feel incomplete without […]
COMPARING YOURSELF WITH OTHERS
When I was a little younger, I had officially come to grips with the idea that I am not as ‘naturally pretty’ as other girls. Where I got this idea from, I do not particularly know, but I do know that I believed it with all of my heart. In my young mind, some people […]
ONE ON STRESS AND WORRY
Stress is one thing that I have learnt never really and truly goes away, unless you do something about it. I like to talk about stress because I pretty much battle it everyday. There have been blogs on the topic, videos on the topic (click here), talks about the topic; I’ve done everything. And yet, […]
OUR GENERATION
So today I woke up to get ready for another routine day. But then instead of watching TV I put on the computer. I was checking my blog when I came across a blog about Running With God. So I clicked on it. Click here to check out her blog. What intrigued me the most was […]
DO NOT CONFORM
Compromise. Conform. As a Christian, we need to learn to not compromise ourselves and our faith just to fit in. We will never fit in because we have a mission, a greater purpose. We cannot believe 2 different things. We cannot serve two different masters. Matthew 6:20-21 New International Version (NIV) 20 But store up for yourselves […]
