A Stellar Woman's World

When crossing over to this year there was never a guarantee that we’d all get to this day; the first day of the last month of the year. We aren’t a special bunch really, we are simply highly favored. Many people wished to be here with us celebrating life and sharing in His goodness but things turned out different for them.   Gratitude is a Must. Maverick City guys in one of their hits say ‘I can sing a billion songs, dance ‘til my feet are numb, spin ‘til I'm empty and poor. I can't praise you enough. I can shout 'til my voice gives way, leap 'til I have no strength, lose my breath trying to explain. I can't praise you enough. And if time were to stall, I can never tell it all. Words are few, and this will have to do: I just wanna Thank You Lord.’ All the things that didn’t work out in the course of the year, the only thing God asks of you is that you believe he will change the course of things. “Everything is possible for the one who believes,” He says. While peopl...

Here's the thing about the man up above. The silent prayers you occasionally make that only you know, that one thing only YOU know you need a breakthrough in, even before it becomes a thought in your mind, he knows it and always goes ahead of you to start working on it - on your behalf. ​​The battles you fight on your own, that no one knows anything about - he's in there with you and all he needs you to do each day is gather your strength and approach each day with faith. HE knows!! Life's gonna come with hurdles and mountains that we'll have to climb day in, day out. Some days we'll be happiest, some days we'll not. Good thing is, you have a past, including yesterday that probably had the most hurdles, those you thought you couldn't handle - but aren't you here today? Alive and healthy? Why do you think that is? He 👏knows! He hasn't brought you this far to leave you. He hasn't invested this much on you to now say, "well, you're on your...

​"So how was work today? Any good stories you wanna share with me that made it an epic day?" "Aah...twas just a normal day, nothing special happened, really." "I still want to know about it either way. Exciting, lame, relaxed...whatever it is, I'm all ears."  "Really now?? Are you always this concerned about every other person's welfare like yo​u are​ with mine?"  "Yes I am. It's not just you that I deeply care about. I also care for others and ask them about their days just as I'm asking you now. So..what was it today? ​ I want details.​"  ​​"O​kay, okay....​ If you insist. This week has probably been the most unproductive weeks of all weeks!! But it was kinda expected, wait...can I use 'kinda' with you? Do I sound like a naive millennial? No? You're okay with it?...​ Where were we?  ​​You know we had a second election, right? Yeah. The air was just filled with some kind of tension an...

Yaaaassss!!!!! My brain's exhausted! It has been a long journey that has finally come to an end. I thank God for the far that he has brought me and couldn't need any better than this! I attend my last undergrad class today (World Civilizations II) at 5pm. God, I didn't know that you would honor me this way!  I didn't know that you would bless me this way!  I didn't know that you would take me through this journey like you have! I've always known that I have no other God but you! You have done what no man has done!  You will do what no man can do!  I'm well aware that you haven't completed your work in me. This is just but the beginning of bigger and better things. Post graduate studies is the goal and I'm sure that just as you opened door for this degree course, you will open more doors for it.

I'm grateful for life. God is awesome! Step by step, he's leading me towards what he has planned for me.  I fail at being consistent with him so many times, I relax at acknowledging his presence every now and then. What i know however is that: He's still blessing me. He rules my world. He's my one true love! With all my flaws, I'm forever his. Been singing  this song for weeks now. I love it. More than my love for my hair perhaps? I kid.  There's nothing i want more of, than him. The more i know him, the more i get the urge to know him even deeper. The best part of this song is this: "You make my life so beautiful And as you are you have made me here on earth There’s nothing greater than this That is why I'll love you evermore. "

Good morning God. I know You to be the Source of all that is. I see Your wisdom and Your majesty in the sunrise this morning, in the birds who are singing and in the earth that is waking up to spring. You are the life force energy that moves in, as and through all things. You move in, as and through me. I come before you today to listen and look for Your guidance. I know that there is a plan for me, that there is a reason for me to be here in this place and circumstances of my life. In my humanness, I cannot see all that You see. In my humanness, I get caught up in emotions that cloud my view. In my humanness, I become afraid and then am unable to move. So, here I am Lord. It's me, Lord. I am here with You in stillness. I quiet my mind and my body and surrender myself to You. I re-member that I am a divine idea in Your mind. I lose the fear that binds me.  I affirm: God is my help in every need. God in me is Infinite Wisdom. He shows me what to do. I wait and...

Dear God: Today, I acknowledge,  accept and admit  that my life is a God-Job,  and I surrender my life to You. Today, I surrender fear,  doubt, worry, anxiety,  and control.   Today, I acknowledge,  accept and admit  that I cannot fix anyone or anything. Today, I acknowledge,  accept and admit  that I cannot fix, change,  heal or help myself.  Today, I acknowledge,  accept and admit  that I cannot change anyone or anything. Today, I acknowledge,  accept and admit  that I cannot help anyone.  Today, I acknowledge,  accept and admit  that I cannot control anyone or anything.   Today, I acknowledge,  accept and admit  that I cannot heal anyone or anything. I am a God-job. My life is a God-job.  Today, dear God please work on me, in me, through me.   Work on my life, my relation-ships...

Thank you God,  for giving me another bright day of life. Thank you for all the people who are in my life ,  who love, cry, discipline, mentor and adore me. Thank you for all the experiences of my past days, for times of success which will always be happy memories,   for times of failure which reminded me of my own weakness  and of my need for you, for times of joy when the sun was shining, for times of sadness which drove me to you.     Forgive me for the hours I wasted, for the chances I failed to take, for the opportunities I missed this past days, Help me in the days ahead to make the best out of myself, and through it to bring good credit to myself & to others, happiness and pride to my loved ones, and joy to you.  Amen.

In this previous post here i mentioned that i was looking forward to being a frequent bible reader. This was because i was slowly losing touch with God, and to be honest it felt awful. It's quite hard to believe in someone you only read about, a super power that you know exists somewhere, one that only our belief convinces us exists! I've always had so many plans, though not all of them work. Sometimes i lack resources, time or maybe plain laziness overcomes me, it's life. Funny enough, this plan here is picking up really well and I'm impressed at how focused i can be sometimes. Talk about reading a chapter a day people! Ever been to church and people are praying, singing and worshiping but you ain't feeling it? You're just there? Flat emotions! Zero concentration!...your prayers don't even last a minute? Your heart hard as stone...you close your eyes and all you can think about are the left over fries you left at home? It was that bad. So i made a ...

Sometimes  i wake up having nothing great to look forward to. There are only expectations of a long boring day with nothing much to lighten my spirit. The daily routine of going to work, using most of my energy trying to be efficient and effective and afterwards heading to class with fatigue weighing me down is often the order foreseen. I want a bright future, a strong foundation and there’s a goal that i should eventually achieve. So, despite being tired and drained out, i have to attend class all psyched up, with the right attitude and ready to learn! One thing that keeps me all energised is the awareness that HE exists, the good feeling that he knows, he cares, he listens more than anyone, he gives meaning to what seems meaningless to humanity, he adores what people despise, he gives me hope and strength to move on, he abandons NOT his flock, he knows my thinking, i mean… he eternally rules my life ! So each day, i don’t wake up feeling disturbed by what...
