New Beginning


New beginning - a chance to start afresh or to do things differently. 

The reason I stopped blogging is simply because I lost inspiration, my life got hectic and blogging was the last thing on my mind. Apart from that, I just didn't feel like I had anything worth saying. When I began my blog, I made a promise to myself that I would do my best to keep this blog as authentic as possible. That meant only posting when I felt like I had something worth sharing - I didn't want to post for the sake of it. Maintaining authenticity was, and still is, my main priority which is why I took a long break. 

As the title says, this is a new beginning. When I first started my blog I stated that I wouldn't stick to a specific theme and would simply share my thoughts and feelings as they came. I have been contemplating resuming my blog for a couple of weeks now and I finally got the revelation on what direction I wanted my blog to take. I realised not sticking to a particular theme also contributed to my lack of inspiration so I decided to switch things up. 

If you use the YouVersion bible app then you are familiar with the verse of the day concept and today's verse of the day is: 2 Corinthians 5:18 (NLT) - "And all this is a gift from God, who brought us back to Himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to Him". Essentially, God has empowered all of us with the ministry of reconciliation - which is restoring others back to Him. So I sat with the verse for a bit and I was wondering what I can do to reconcile others to Christ and BOOM - it clicked! I can use my blog.

I have decided that moving forward, I will use my blog to talk about my walk with Christ, my thoughts, struggles and everything else in between. Those close to me can bear witness to the fact that majority of this year I have been repeating the statement, "I want to have a more intentional walk with Christ" so I believe my blog can help in that and hopefully help you guys too, as the readers. 

 Until next time...

Obedience is better than sacrifice: A case study on King Saul

I seem to gravitate towards writing about obedience and its because when I read the Bible, obedience stands out the most to me. Also, disobedience seems to be the downfall of most biblical figures and of course, disobedience leads to sin. Obedience is about submitting to God's commandments, His laws and His will.  It makes sense why obedience is difficult because it requires us to lay down our own wills for God's will. Walking with Christ requires the willingness and ability to lay down your own will for His because His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). Disobedience was the reason for the fall of mankind. God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because it would lead to death (Genesis 2:16-17). Scripture provides a lot of instances that show disobedience and its consequences. This post is dedicated to studying King Saul and how his disobedience led him to being rejected as King by the Lord.

New Year, Same God

Dear readers, A very happy and blessed new year to you. I am beyond grateful for the love, support, feedback and just taking time to read what I have to share. My blog has been a huge part of my Christian journey and I hope that it has helped you too in some way and that whenever you read, there is a seed planted within you to continue seeking God. I am excited to see what God has in store for us in 2025 _______________________________ Around this time last year, I was making my new years resolutions and saying that I would take my relationship with God much more serious. Unfortunately, that did not last long but things are different this year. The new year doesn't mean that I have to start afresh with God, I just have to keep walking with Him and choosing Him everyday. My encouragement unto you for this year is:  1 Thessalonians 5 vs 17 (NKJV): "Pray without ceasing" This verses encourages us to pray continuously for many reasons. There is power in prayer and prayer is w...

Discipline over Motivation

Discipline has a lot of definitions but for the sake of the message, I will define discipline as the ability to keep working at something difficult. Motivation is defined as a reason for acting or behaving in a particular way.  The main difference between discipline and motivation is that motivation is driven by feelings whereas discipline is driven by self control .  So now that I have established the key difference, let us dive in!  I have come to realise that the reason why my walk with Christ would always seem to flatline was that I would tackle it from a place feelings. I would make the decision that I want to take my walk with Christ serious, I would feel the fire, I would find a good bible plan. All the works.  Then two weeks into that decision, I start giving into feelings of laziness. Three weeks into the decision, the fire has died down and I start entertaining thoughts of, "I don't feel like God hears me when I pray", "I am not in the mood to read the Bib...
