A Letter from my ❤ to my Sisters in Christ

Dear Sisters in Christ,

This is an encouragement and a reminder to you to not compromise your walk/relationship with Christ for anyone or anything. It is never worth it. Do not do it for work, family or any sort of relationship/friendship. I want to speak specifically to romantical relationships with the opposite sex.

A man who is handsome, charismatic, charming, has a great sense of humour and in a decent job would make a great provider for the family and if he grew up with his 6 sisters, that would communicate that he understands women (bonus!!). But if he doesn't have a relationship with Christ, he has no eternal value to you presently or your future family. A man who is able to lead your family in God's righteousness, lead family devotions and prayer understand that his strength does not come from his muscles or intellect but from God through Christ Jesus. This is a man we should gladly commit and submit to.

A man who knows his worth and value - understand that he was bought and made redeemed through the precious blood of Jesus - will know your value and worth too. From a princess, who one day hopes to marry such a man, to another, God's best is the best there is. Do not settle for anything less: not when your age is ticking, your womb clock is ticking (Lord help me!) or for any other reason. Make your request be known to God and trust Him.

If he is really interested in you and think you are valuable, allow him to work out the most important relationship he'll ever have. Do not lower these standards. A man who has accepted Christ's love knows what love is and should understand your value in the Kingdom of God. Regardless of what the naysayers are saying, put your hope and faith in Christ alone. His plan and purpose are complete, lacking nothing.

In the mean time, keep serving and loving while we are being prepared for the ultimate Marriage Supper.

Yours truly,

A fellow Sister💓

Why I removed my Locks

On January 1, 2018, 9:59 p.m., I sat in my mother's living room blank. This was rather strange for me because while I don't usually write new year resolutions, I usually know what I wanted to achieve. But not this year, I was broken and empty, I began to do the only thing my mind could process...pray. This was the exact prayer I said that night (I wrote it in my phone). "I have started this year on "E". I have no goals, plans or expectations. The only thing I have is my hope. More than ever, however the next few months of this life manifest itself, I will be sure and confident that it is the Lord's doing. I belong to you and no one else Lord - do with my life what only you can - to your glory and honour." It was a few days after this prayer, I found out I would need to do surgery. You can read about this experience in the blog entitled " My experience with Fibroids and learning about Endometriosis ". "Do not conform to the patt...

Rejected by Man: Re-directed to God

Part 1 - A love Letter to Christians bruised by Rejection What is life without pain, disappointment, rejection and sufferings? Absolutely nothing! It is from the angle of rejection that I am encouraged and led to write this blog post. My Experience There is a deep, lingering, unexplained pain and seemingly unbearable ache that comes with being rejected. I know this pain oh so well after feeling rejected from past relationships ending, after feeling rejected by God when I found out about Endometriosis and the havoc it wrecks in my body and fertility, having close friendships ending pre-maturely and when my father decided he didn’t want to be a part of our family anymore and walked out on us. All of this happened in one year. The purpose of sharing this is to identify with you and let you know that you are not alone. We may not have similar issues but I have an idea how you are feeling and most importantly, God does too. We often assess ourselves to see if and how we have co...

Endometriosis

Endometriosis Update The Fight Continues... Hello there! All of 3 years have passed since I first shared about my experience with this disease. It was just a few weeks ago I realized that I found out I had this disease during Endometriosis Awareness Month, ironic, don't you think? Now here we are exactly 3 years later! Wow! This is an awesome reminder that brighter days are always ahead, our temporary uncomfortable and seemingly overwhelming situations are NOT permanent! Thank you Jesus! March 22, 2018 proved how limited and one sided our prayers and attitude to life can be. I prayed several prayers about what my limited mind knew and felt about my then condition. That day I had surgery to removed what I presumed was my biggest hindrance - Fibroids. I never once thought for a moment that I could have had another condition. Looking back now, it was a huge eye opener and a disappointing time in my life. I trusted my doctors and their initial diagnosis and it left me feeling u...
