Reflection Friday 🪞

Happy Friday my people! 👊🏾❤️

I’m almost a year older, yep tomorrow it’s my birthday 🎈 and I just want to share a little bit about my year so far. Lol , what a hard year it’s been. It was so hard that I just laugh bc wow! I started off so optimistic and full of faith. But by February, I realized something: I thought I had faith. I thought I had patience… until life started happening.

Believe me, my three hardest years have been 2014 (when my dad passed), 2021 (when I faced heavy attacks), and 2025. This year, I saw the real meaning of warfare. But guess what? God pulled me out every single time. And through it all, I just kept on going. God’s sustaining grace kept me from drowning and from getting burnt by the fire.

I had some great memories too. My friends and I went wedding dress fitting and boy oh boy we looked like heaven! Too neat! ✨ I attended some of the best conferences in the world at HOT, met new people, and even tried new foods. Oh, I ate egusi yesterday and my next stop is Korean food! 😄 This year, I also wrote and self-published two books (which I HOPE you already have copies of!). My career picked up; I had some clients and learned so much not just from studying, but through experience. It’s true what they say: the more we do something, the more we learn.

Why am I sharing all this with you? To remind you that we all have ups and downs in a year. Not everything is bad, and not everything is good but through it all, we’re still here. We still have purpose in our hearts, and we keep moving forward. This year, God taught me that He is my only source. He gently shifted my eyes away from people, from anything or anyone I had placed my trust in even myself and helped me focus completely on Jesus. And that has strengthened my faith in ways I can’t even explain.

So, don’t be discouraged where you are. Don’t give up. Don’t faint. Don’t lose hope. And whatever you do, don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s. Remember, you’re uniquely you! Today as you reflect in the mirror, l want you keep in your mind, you have come too far to give up now. Don’t waste your pain. Don’t waste your scars that came from resilience in battle. Don’t give up on God.

I’m reminded of Esther an orphan who probably never thought she’d even meet the king, let alone marry him. She likely never dreamt that far. You know how there are dreams we have because we know they’re within reach… and then there are those dreams we don’t even dare to imagine? Yep those ones. Esther was just living her life, unaware of the divine setup unfolding behind the scenes. Vashti did her drama, the kingdom was shifting and Esther had no idea that her name was next in line for destiny.

That’s how God works sometimes. You have no idea what’s about to happen for you, but heaven is already rearranging things in your favor. One day, you’re just a “nobody,” and the next you wake up in the palace as the Queen. “Argh, but not me. I don’t even know any Mordecai.”

That’s where faith comes in. If we could calculate how the blessing would unfold, then it wouldn’t be God’s blessing. His ways are usually mysterious big, mind-blowing, sudden, and miraculous. It’s never something you’d think of on a normal day. I mean, Joseph went from prison to governor and as a foreigner! How? You can’t explain it, right? That’s exactly how it’s going to be for you.

Believe God. Keep holding on. See you on Monday! ❤️

I love you!
