BEFORE YOU SAY YES, REMEMBER THIS.

Image
You are responsible for your choices, yes, even the quiet ones, the delayed ones, the ones you make by saying nothing at all. Sometimes, we ignore the signs. That small discomfort. That little voice. That red flag waving gently in the distance. Maybe you’re thinking, “He loves me, he’ll change.” Or, “This opportunity looks too good to miss, everything will sort itself out.” But here’s the truth: What you ignore now will come knocking later. That subtle issue you’re overlooking in your relationship won’t stay hidden. In marriage, it could grow into something harder to bear. Those warning signs you noticed before launching into that business or commitment? They don’t disappear, they simply wait for the right moment to demand your attention. So before you say yes to anything life-changing,  Pause. Breathe. Pray. Ask God. Seek His face. Know His mind about what you’re about to do. This is not about being fearful. This is about being wise. It’s not delay. It’s divine protection. You don...

THE SILENT THIEF CALLED ASSUMPTION

Image
Assumption is subtle. Quiet. But powerful enough to create cracks where there should be connection. In leadership, assumption builds distance. We assume our team knows what we meant. We assume silence equals agreement. We assume they don’t need to hear our appreciation because “they already know.” But they don’t always know. They may be wondering. Waiting. Needing. In relationships, assumption builds walls. We assume they should have known how we felt. We assume they meant to hurt us. We assume they don’t care, simply because they didn’t respond the way we expected. And in life generally, assumption steals clarity. We begin to live in our heads instead of in truth. We stop asking, stop clarifying, and start reacting to a story we’ve built, not necessarily the reality. But what if… They didn’t mean to ignore us? They were simply overwhelmed? They’re struggling silently? Or maybe they’re just unaware? What if one kind question could clear up what days of silence never will? Let’s choose ...

DISCERNMENT OVER DECORATION

Image
We live in a world that’s obsessed with appearances, with noise, glitter, and performance.  Everywhere you turn, there is something new to chase, somewhere else to be, another version of yourself to become (lol). It is easy to get caught up in it, the pressure to show up “shiny,” to look the part even when your soul is weary. But lately, I’ve been drawn to something deeper. Discernment. The quiet knowing. The sacred pause before the yes. That inner nudge that says, “Wait. Look again.” It is not every open door that’s meant for you. Not every “opportunity” is an assignment. And not everyone who applauds is genuinely cheering. Discernment helps you sift. It helps you see beyond the decoration, beyond the flattering words, the staged smiles, the sparkling promises. It helps you choose what aligns, not just what looks good. And the more I lean into it, the more I realize that di scernment is a gift. It protects your peace. It guards your purpose. So this season, I  hope you  ...

WEEKEND UNWIND 🌿

Image

SURRENDER DOES NOT MEAN LETTING YOUR GUARD DOWN💂

Image
Surrender does not mean letting your guard down. It means knowing when to lay down the right weapons. Too often, we confuse surrender with defeat, as if it means making ourselves an easy target. But the truth is, surrender is an act of strength and wisdom. A warrior does not win by swinging blindly at every shadow. They win by knowing when to fight, when to stand firm, and when to rest. Surrender is accepting that not every battle is yours to fight. It is making space for clarity, peace, and growth. It’s saying, “I can’t control this, and that’s okay.” It doesn’t mean you’ve lost. It doesn’t mean you’re weaker. It means you’re choosing strength over strain, trust over tension, wisdom over worry. Surrender does not make you a quitter. It makes you a victor, because it takes courage to release what you can’t carry, and wisdom to focus on what you can.  However, this does not mean surrendering to the devil. It means casting all your cares on God, for He cares and will carry you on His...

TRUE TEACHING IS AN ACT OF LOVE 🌹

Image
The best mentors and teachers understand that their role is to equip others for success, even if that means seeing the student rise higher.  True teaching is an act of love. True mentoring is an investment meant to bear fruit. True leadership is about making room for others to stand tall, perhaps even taller than ourselves. A teacher who embraces this does not fear your growth. Instead, they celebrate it, knowing that your victory is a reflection of the seeds they have sown. --- What To Do When You Experience This If you have felt the sting of rejection or felt undervalued by someone you looked up to, remember this: ✅ Not every teacher will champion your future. ✅ Not every guide can handle seeing their student fly. ✅ But that doesn’t mean you should clip your own wings. Keep growing. Stay grateful for those who genuinely want you to win, and pray for those who can’t accept it. Let their resistance teach you resilience. Let their silence deepen your resolve. Let their skepticism ig...
