The journey not the destination

A list of my answered prayers

I am on my way home from work with a friend in his car, we are talking about how tired we are. He attended a funeral on Sunday and it dawned on him “this is where it ends”, he shares this with me. I add by saying “ we are born, we start school, we grow we start work and eventually we died. He proceeds by saying one day you will be laying and we will be saying “here lies a body of the beloved Melone.” As I was almost getting off he says life is war.

***

This lead to a conception of a thought in my head, that we are here to work, and work, and prove that we are worth the kingdom of God. My heart sank and it was gloomy. This thought broke my heart. I got in the house took a shower and made food. While I was eating my soul sang ‘Saviour- by Tye Tribbett) I was then drawn to prayer.

I remembered to search for affirmations in form of verses that will bring my heart home. To remind me now that it matters to be grateful because there is a lot to be grateful for. Like a list of my answered prayers. While I was praying I started quoting verses like “my help cometh from the Lord, “He will never leave me nor forsake me”, I proceed and at some point I started expressing gratitude that even though my exhaustion penetrates to my souls I am greatly blessed. Life is indeed beautiful after all.

I prayed to God and he did exceed my expectations more than once, more than twice. At the right time truly when he does answer he does it so well that there be no room for questions on who did it. God and “class”😍 for me. If he did it before he will do it again. Class is his standard. As I am about to journal the list of my answered prayers I will leave you with these two gorgeous truthful verses hoping they will encourage you as they did for me.

1. “ Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” -Hebrew 10:23

2. “ Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.” -Jeremiah 1:12

Lastly, I am leaving you with a song I am currently listening to (on repeat) as I am typing this. “I will respond by Travis Green. I hope you do enjoy. Remember to show yourself and others grace, you are doing this life thing the first time. Everyday is a first. It is well with your soul. I love you! ❤️

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...
