Reap Time.

It’s amazing how people often have us all figured out. When we succeed, they assume our down fall is just around the corner.

But, they quite wrong actually!

We have been beaten and battered by struggles with poverty, insecurities and all else and now it’s Reap Time.

Our faith and hopes finally give birth to the realization of our dreams.

So yeah, I am blessed and it’s about to get even blessier!!

Deuteronomy 28:12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

So I am going to sit back and be present in my blessings, just as I was present in my trails.

I am Blessed Beyond.

To all single sisters - Happy Valentine's Day!!

I am truly glad I missed out on some potential relationships when I was single, although it hurt at the time, today I look at the kind of relationship I have with my boyfriend and I am thankful.

See, before I met my boyfriend, I wasn’t confident in myself as a person. I was looking at these guys and thinking ‘oh my goodness, he is so out of my league…’

Chances are, had I dated these guys, I would have lost myself. Not their fault, but mine. I would have been so eager to please them so I could just to keep them, that I would have even accepted ill-treatment from them.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying my current relationship is perfect, but I am my own person. I am not giving so much of me until I feel there isn’t much of me left. I am not left drained emotionally trying to keep up with a man’s selfish demands. I am free to be myself (crazy-self, smart-self, strong-self and fragile-self) and that’s what a relationship is about. That you be yourself and be appreciated for who you are and what you have to offer.

So, if you are alone this Valentine’s Day, don’t worry or feel sad about, it’s all for a reason. Don’t feel desperate to be with someone, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being alone. And I often used to remind myself when I was single ‘I’d rather wait for the real thing that to chase after fake.’

Use this time to grow as an individual. If you want the real thing – then upgrade yourself to being the real thing.

I mean, if you wanting a man with certain high standards, then at least have half of those standards yourself, it’s only fair. And I know some will be quick to think I am referring to financial standards, partly yes. But it’s so much more than that; there are emotional standards, educational standards, social standards etc. you can’t want to have a non-smoker while you smoke, you have to give a little, to get a little.

But never settle.
