What A Year!

What were your expectations for the year 2022?

Plans, dreams and resolutions? Without a doubt, I perceive yours in the affirmative. I did keep the same energy and attitude towards the year even though I wasn’t certain how the year will unfold for me. A Year it has been!

I had plans however for the year. Educational plans, travel plans and plans to continue to be useful to many and impact, especially the Teams I work with.

Now, what did the year come with? Lots of good food, love and a better Team performance.😁

What a blessing. 🎊

In there were battles. I got to experience first hand the struggles of trying to keep an open mind over work decisions taken, coexist with some colleagues in a neutral manner while witnessing their minds, heart and actions towards me. Keeping my cool in all these and, most importantly, leveling up in every stage of the situations present. Then, to staying happy.

One thing I know is, Favour is not Fair.

The blessings of the Lord make us rich in our craft and gifting. And he truly gives us beauty for ashes.

Sis. has been glowing, executing excellently and happy. Proverbs 10:23. Isaiah 61:3πŸ’–

My late grandmother once told me: “when God gives you something, he does not take it back”. Is it a gift, beauty or a present he gives? He sure won’t take it back.

“In this year, I have been clueless what I am doing. Where I am headed and even more, what I want next. In my career and at life. I keep looking up to Jesus, trusting and asking him because clearly, a girl has no plan.”

So while I wait for his plan on my life unfolding and trusting him, I will admire the blessings and beauty he has bestowed on me and others. I will keep at clapping for those who have taken off.

I bask in Gratitude for the little and big things I accomplish daily. The impact and lives I touch through lifestyle as well as my work ethics.

I decided to open an Instagram account to share thoughts on my work and others related to experience. I am always reminded by others I do so well and execute seamlessly.

It gave me joy to see a new routine of order and coordination in my life. The discipline to create content and be myself.

And oww,as I write now, I have been slow with it but definitely will pick up because really you know when God gives you something, he does not take it back as grannie said right? Grace to put in the work, be creative and distinct at it.πŸ‘Œ

β˜€οΈThis year, our online store undoubtedly is achieving the budget set for the Year.πŸ’ƒβ˜€οΈA ray of sunshine.

This is pretty much my first major post on the blog this year after a post in January.

Boy, it is September! 8 Months of silence here even though I was present on the socials. Finally found the strength and received the Grace to come on here.

Thank you for the warm welcome and having me.πŸ€—πŸ˜

As I ponder over what a year it is, I don’t even want to mention current inflation and other world economic situations. I do not know what you are experiencing and I do not want you to be reminded of your personal struggles, challenges and needs. What I want to remind you about is in Jeremiah 29:11.

“I know the plans I have towards you sayeth the Lord”. Plans to prosper you and give you hope. Not to harm you.”

” Whatever you are experiencing, I promise you that, you will be fine. It is all for your good. You will thank God finally for all you went through because, when all is said and done eeh, you will see meaning and find reasoning in your life as become a better person because of what you have experienced.”πŸ€—πŸ™

And when you feel like Pursuing a new activity or venture, create or build anything which comes to mind, please don’t hold yourself back.

Do it. You have no idea where the Lord will take you with it.

As a clot of blood in your mother’s womb, he knew you. Even before the foundations of the earth were laid. He won’t give up on you so don’t give up on yourself. Jeremiah 1:5πŸ’–

Have a Super day full of good wine, chills and grills.πŸ’œ

And thanks for reading. πŸ™πŸ’₯ Kisses πŸ’‹

His Purpose, To Give!

Felt so warm at heart and in mind this morning when I realised this(His Purpose was to Give). I also got a deeper knowledge and affirmation from a Kenneth & Gloria Copeland devotion guide.

God as a father, friend and provider is in our lives fundamentally to Give to us. He is present in our lives to Give us all things beautiful and hopeful.

To begin with, he loved us First. He didn’t want anything from us but to love us. In exchange,we loved him back. No body gives love, kindness and hope and does not get love.

His love for us got him to Gift us his Son. An only Child he begot.

He inadvertently has given us Hope, Peace, Joy, Faith and Many more Promises in our walk on Earth. We are his Children because we know him and have his Promises.

His Promises: “I will Never Leave thee Nor Forsake thee”, “Before you were Formed in your Mother’s Womb,I Knew You”, “Call Into Me All You who are Burdened and Heavily Laden and I will Give You Rest”…

These, among other promises, are countless in our lives. Once held onto, we receive Hope. We Experience the Good and our Lives become Better.

Hebrews 10:23 β€œLet us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” Whatever he says, he will do it. His love as a Promise come with it so many beautiful gifts. Do parents not provide and give gifts to their children?

Have you thought otherwise his purpose in your life?

While there are many others we can think of, his heart of love and giving is paramount. That radiates some peace and assurance in us such that, in every situation and turmoil, we have confidence that what we will receive in effect will be amazing because knowing him is something beautiful.

Who do you turn to? Who is your go to person that completely resolves situatios? I am not sure where you find comfort and solace.

There is, however a Father and Friend whose purpose is to Give. A Good God.

Some ‘gods’ gift items to those that follow them, but come with taking other important things back from these same people, even loss of lives sometimes.

It is liberating to be connected to a certain kind of love… God’s Love.

One which radiates love,peace,home and light.

Whatever you may be seeing or going through, be assured that, once you are connected to God, what you will receive in return will be Beautiful. He gives beauty for ashes. Isaiah 61:3.

His love encompasses and encapsulate Life, Hope, Peace and Joy.❀️✨️

Remember He-God loves You.

A selfless one. Unlike that of man, which is Selfish.

A love that caused him to Gift us even a son.πŸ€—πŸ’œ

The gift of his Son and our breath are the utmost. This among many blessings we enjoy on Earth.πŸ’₯

Never Give Up!!!

His Purpose is truly Giving.

He gives us the little and big things in life. Both Tangible and Intangible.❀️

If this blessed you, do well to share with someone else. Thanks for the Read πŸ€—

Happy New Year Family! ❀️ Cheers πŸ₯‚πŸŽŠ

The Beauty of Christmas🌲

Being blessed to see decades of Christmas celebrations as an annual event,I cannot help but see the family ties,bonds & tradition in homes and on the grams.

From a Christian perspective and a Bible believing angle,the opportunity to witness a day like 25th December as the birthday of Jesus Christ,the son of our Father Above is great and humbling to see.

There are several events in a calendar year from the Bible and the world that comes with making merry & festivities, Christmas Tops for me.

Christmas for me as a young girl growing in a community in Ghana came with array of joy, good food, Christmas carols, music, visit to loved ones, the cakes & activities esp. church services.Whoop!!!…,the Air.The Breeze & Weather.

The younger me loved Christmas dishes & took delight in how different & delectable Fried rice taste.The savory aroma.I still believe as an adult Christmas meals taste different.ο₯° A moment to have assorted drinks esp. fizzy.Even drinking them in quantities & bottles.

Walking within walls and corridors of my community,the dishes of my neighbor’s also smelled different & felt special sensing.Lol The carols played in homes when you walk pass a window…Chills!

I Loved how the Christmas weather was. The Breeze was different,extra ordinary & amazing.I always loved it. Leaves on trees in & infront of homes fell pretty fast in their numbers on the ground every second.

Not forgetting the Christmas parties, dancing to tunes from Daddy Lumba like: “Fine boy,..”You know that song? Giggles!

To going for church services in new clothes with the family,eating more yogurt by getting parents to buy from yogurt sellers at church premises and coming home to sumptuous meals like “Christmas fried rice”,that one taste different, drinks with family & loved ones.

As an adult, the beauty of Christmas for me is reminiscing all these moments that made Christmas as special as a birthday celebration each day & resting.

Watching family photoshoots & portraits online makes my heart glad as a confirmation that people appreciate family which is beautiful.🌟

Finally, to enjoying the food & the weather I so loved, I now know as harmattan.🍷

‘There may be others who are probably celebrating or seeing a Christmas month without loved ones, trying hard to enjoy the season which is difficult to put up things or words together.Even lonely’.

May be it is a chance for you and I to adopt Gratitude.For life around the clock or find that one spot which makes you happy to which you are grateful for.

What is your highlight for the season & what makes Christmas beautiful for You?✨️

Compliment of the Season & Happy Holidays Family!🎊

Remember,Tis a season of Love.Forgive,share,rest,recoup & plan.❀️

Thank you for being part of my Blog post family.πŸ€—

Never Give Up!!
