TRIBUTE TO KOBE BRYANT

It was an early monday morning when i opened my twitter account and i couldn’t believe what was trending it was kobe bryant. At first i thought it was maybe he had opened another foundation only to realize about the tragic demise of a basketball legend and his beautiful princess giggy.

I dont know why it still hurts even though i have never met him i felt as if it was so heartbreaking. I am not a regular basketball game viewer but i used to watch lakers games once in a while of course i know micheal jordan, kevin durant, Big shaq, james lebron and other players in basketball.

Kobe bryant was not only a dedicated basketball player but he was beyond that. A great dad to his daughters, a world changer in everything he did. I used to come along his quotes on the internet once in a while and they were powerful.

Traits i have learnt from Kobe’s death are:

1. Be passionate at what you do
2. Never give up on your dreams
3. Consistency is a key factor in your success
4. Family always remains no matter what happens
5. Be kind and spread love to everybody
6. Live a legacy that will never be forgotten
7. Believe in yourself more than any other person
8. Find a partner who will always be with you in both good and bad times

rest in peace Kobe and Gianna

Testimony Tuesday

Its an amazing tuesday today and i choose to call it testimony tuesday because it has not been easy. Last year was the toughest year of my life. I started the year with a really weird bacteria infection. I lost a lot of weight and there was other personal stuff going on in my life.

By God’s grace i got healed and all was going well until march that’s when all hell broke loose. I got conned all my savings in the most confusing way after that i fell into deep thoughts. People would look at me and ask “what’s up and i will be like am good” but inside i was going through the most.

I wondered how could this happen to me, i mean i go to church almost every sunday, i pray everyday and i have been a staunch christian ever since high school. I wondered if God really existed because if he did i wouldn’t be going through all this. I literally for like almost three consecutive months i stopped going to church and i was almost drifting away from my first purpose.

It was like my life was just existing because people live, i didn’t have any more purpose because i was sure i was going to start my college last year and finish around 2021 but now all the money is gone. so what do i do. I completely shut everyone out, i would binge watch and listen to music everytime and mind you just a few gospel and more of secular music (was a staunch christian).

Life had no meaning at the meaning until my family came through and most importantly my mum she prayed for me and around the end of last year i felt so healed and everything seemed going back to place. My very first sunday service was actually on 19th january 2020.

The sermon was about walking in the spirit. That message was meant for me by the way. Everything that happened was a lesson to me that i live only by His grace. His ways are not my ways, when you walk in the spirit of Christ all your ways will be good.God has always been there no matter how unworthy i felt he has alway been there for me. I walk by faith and not by sight.

Being born again for me its like the biggest achievement of my life. It doesn’t matter how smart or nerdy i am what matters is am i living according to his word and by spirit. Today choose to walk in the sprit of christ.

This is my testimony i hope it blesses and uplifts you.

NEW YEAR NEW YOU

Happy 2020 family. I believe its a new year to reflect on new and amazing resolutions but do you really follow your resolutions.

My new year resolution this year is to just draw closer to God. Last year i was too busy with my career and ambitions and on the way something really unfortunate happened. One thing i learnt is that building your foundation on God can open so many doors that you thought wouldn’t open. Just believe and have faith that is going to be a year of growth and God’s manifestation in your life. Pray, work hard and dream big just like Jamie Grace sang in her song ‘Dream Big’

WINNING WEDNESDAY

Never stop going for what you are called out for. Keep believing that its going to happen. Over the past years i have learnt that you will never change if you don’t strategize your goals. Let every second be a step towards your success. Success is about giving not receiving. If maybe i would have let fear blind me i would not be where i am today. Never set limits because you were born for greatness. The zeal in you can move any mountain in your way. So stay focused, determined and Hard work is very important. One thing that i will always recognize is God’s grace in my life amidst all the challenges in my journey He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore.

EMPTY BUT OPTIMISTIC

IN MY SPACE

The voices in my head can seem to stop from haunting me. Everyday is either this or that. I just want to stay fro a place that i could hear nobody but my words. No! No! No! its time that i let go because they are just opinions from people who enjoy bullying others. Body shaming has become my everyday “compliment”. Its funny that when you are slender its your fault, plump sits still your fault, curvy its still a problem. I remember about what my creator says, He say ” you are fearfully and wonderfully made”. So who are you?

Who define you? Is it people’s opinions. No, its what God says about you. When i walk alone on the streets i realize that people have ” girl squads” or vice versa but i am just alone. No friends to talk to its just you and your shadow. Unfortunately that’s my life. Perhaps its for my good but i wish i had a friend who would understand my agony, who would ask how my day was and who would lend a listening ear to me. In my heart I know there is a friend who gave his life to save mine. so its okay to be alone and to be made fun of as long a you know where your destiny is.

Being empty is not the end of me i still have more young people who need a mentor to encourage to live a full life ahead. follow your dreams and never stop trying to be better. Trust me it is going to be fine.

ETHIOPIA

Ethiopia has elected the first female president and it is so encouraging.  Finally women are coming up and taking their place. I know it’s just ceremonial because the prime minister still hold more political power. She is a diplomat also. So this means that gender equality is soon taking its course not almost but we are heading there as a country. So kudos to Ethiopia.

positive mindset

AFRICA

Self discipline and self drive are vey crucial in one’s journey to success. it may seem too obvious to talk about these two important terms but thats why am here to be a reminder. We see our peers succeeding and we wonder “what have i not done or what shouild i do”. you dont have to be a perfectionist you just have to be better thn yesterday. Stay focused always.
