'GUARD' YOUR HEART

Guard: Protect, look after/ be watchful

The word of God instructs us "above all else (most importantly), guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it . Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes looks straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steady fast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or left, keep your foot from evil." -Proverbs 4: 23-27



I would say my father loves me so much to actual help me be right and do right. I have clear instructions to refer to and follow. 💜 Personally, i need to be taught and reminded. I need my hand to be held, and to be shown the next step i should take. I DO NOT want to do this life thing alone. And to have God care this much about all my life details and actually meet these needs, its really mind-blowing. It causes me to randomly go down on my knees in the house, irrespective of the room am in and say 'Thank You Father! It causes me to thank him for my mobility and to ask him 'how do you think i should handle this task dad?' We are a team! Because i am somewhat familiar with his works my heart chooses to follow him all seasons. The bloomy, the dry, the cold and the warm. 

Life is really interesting (sigh), it needs the one who created it. Some seasons are amazing, some are really not in my bucket list, i just learn to work with what is given as i make the most out of it. Guarding the heart is monitoring the thoughts, being aware of the power they have on the emotions, attitude and actions. It is human nature to get sad/ discouraged because of the thoughts we conceive and entertain from what we have seen or heard. We are not in control of what we experience but we have control over our bodies. We can make choices and adjustments. Every emotion can be a driving forces to our actions, if its heavy try letting go of the unhelpful baggage.

The word says we 'live by faith not sight" -2Corinthians 5:7. God is the Alpha and the Omega he Knows the end from the beginning. Father has the whole picture of life, we might be going through pain now, an hour later experience healing or joy. To live by faith for me is to try and not waste the minutes of life worrying about something that already has a solution. Instead, i give thanks, and entertain positive thoughts. It doesn't always happen instantly, sometimes i fail a number of times before i get it right. I deeply love positivity, i love hope, it make the minutes of life worthy.


Life does get disruptive, but making time for what is important gives us an opportunity to see more of its beauty. Here's a little secrete: i have a relationship with myself, best friend vibes. I am truthful with myself and this helps me to continue being reflective and fair. I love God simply because he showed me he is the dad I've always wanted. When i need protection or help with anything your physical dad would do for you, he already knows about it and he sends me help.😊 This thing is a relationship. I feel honored, its too big to understand but its real.

In conclusion "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth."-Psalm 121:1-2

Being physically, mentally and socially fit

 Staying healthy is about being physically, mentally and socially fit. I have been feeling extremely tired lately, everyone at work is huffing and puffing internally as we throw around the word "pushing" when we greet and pass by the corridors. At first i was convinced the pills am taking my body is now rejecting, i am now relieved it is what everyone is feeling and not my treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. One of these past days i woke up feeling super uncomfortable    my body was giving close to crippled bro. My reasoning behind this is most joints on my body are inflamed so my body is taking a hit. Health issues plus work can be a dead end.  Listen, I have seborrheic dermatitis, I always had it I just thought i just struggle with dandruff. I was totally unaware it’s a “skin health condition “. Now it’s on my face (foreheads , brows, side of my nose and chin) and chille… it is currently flaring, the itch is so uncomfortable. I need to visit a dermatologist very so...

A gruesome morning A courageous day

It is the night of the 11th of February i get into bed i set my alarm for 4am. An hour earlier than usual because i intend to clean my house before i go to work so that when i return i am only faced with laundry for a chore. I lay down and sleep, i wake up the Lord is still sustaining me. However, i feel close to crippled. My body screams 'today is so impossible!'  I get up regardless and decide to eat a bit so i can stomach the medication and give my body 30 more minutes of rest.  I usually refuse to take meds as prescribed; two to three times a day instead i take them once in the evening to avoid complete dependency on the medication. This morning is different and calls for desperate measures. It is 4;30 am i decide to make my bed and activate my plan. I do so as i give thanks to God and express my hurt at the same time. I obviously question when is the end ever coming. I give thanks again for all i have and am able to do. like hope, like resilience, like peace while i ackno...

Another way to explain my excitement

I am so excited that Mpoomy Ledwaba released a book. My girl did it! Now what’s left is for me to get my hands on it. My excitement comes from reflecting on when I started watching her YouTube videos, back when she first began on the red app. She has matured in business, relationships, and as an individual. It is inspiring and a reminder of my own potential for success. I am a girl’s girl, and I love to see girls grow and succeed. Another way to explain my excitement is that she’s the kind of person who reminds me of my own anointing. Story time So yesterday, I spent two hours in the presence of my Father, talking to Him and picking His brain. I felt so much inner peace and strength; I felt happy and liberated. I learned a lot from just three points, but I will mention two of these lessons summarized into quotes. Feel free to dissect them and interpret them as applicable to your own personal experiences. - When I am faced with a situation that tempts me to ask, “What is the point?” may...
