A girl on TikToķ once said; “This year God grabbed my hand, told me to trust Him, & we just took off running.” & someone commented; “Some days He’s dragging’ me, other days He’s carrying me, but we locked in.” & to be honest… that’s exactly how I feel too. IMMENSELY🙏🏻.
Yesterday I watched “Soul” to remind myself that maybe the purpose of life isn’t always finding some big purpose. It’s simply being present enough to enjoy being alive.
Maya Angelou was so right when she said ;
“The heart of a woman should be so well hidden in God, that a man, to find it, would need to seek God first.”
So uhm hey guys!🥺🤎
I developed a pre-election voter’s guide to educate both first time voters and non-first time voters on the important factors to take into consideration during this time, and the manifesto is an important part in this mission. 1/3 -

Go to church bruv. Dont fall for that propaganda of I pray alone. “When two or more are gathered in my presence, there I am in their midst”. Praying alone is good. But you need fellowship. You need the encouragement of other believers.
“Controversial.”
“Military Doctor.”
Are you out of your mind?
He was the head of the apartheid government’s chemical and biological warfare programme, Project Coast. One of its aims was reducing Black population growth, so insidious he investigated a biological agent intended to selectively kill Black people.
Project Coast scientists testified that the programme provided the drugs and poisons developed for use in murders of anti-apartheid activists.
Frank Chikane, then Secretary-General of the South African Council of Churches, was poisoned through his clothing using a lethal poison. He suffered organ failure and nearly died twice. A Project Coast scientist testified that he had supplied the poison to security police operatives and instructed them how to apply it to clothing.
Clandestine SANDF units testified that SWAPO prisoners of war were given overdoses of muscle relaxants Basson provided before being thrown from helicopters into the sea. One Special Forces officer testified that Basson personally and regularly supplied him with these drugs, which he used on the majority of the more than 200 people he killed and disposed of at sea.
Controversial? Nay. Monstrous. War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity per the Rome Statute. The only reason he was not hauled before the ICC to answer for his crimes is because its rules did not exist during the commission of his crimes.
The only reason he isn’t behind bars in South Africa is because of a botched criminal prosecution in 1999. He faced 67 charges, including murder, conspiracy to murder, drug offences and fraud. The court did not adjudicate the substance of some of the most serious allegations, including those concerning the alleged killing of hundreds of SWAPO detainees in Namibia.
The State appealed to the Supreme Court of Appeal, which declined to hear the matter because the papers from the State were lodged late. The Constitutional Court found that the SCA had failed to give proper weight to the extreme gravity of the charges and held that the SCA should have accepted the State’s late filing and allowed the appeal. The Court reinstated six charges that had been quashed, expressly leaving questions of double jeopardy and unreasonable delay to a trial court if the State proceeded with the prosecution.
The NPA nevertheless declined to re-prosecute Basson. A court therefore never got to test those questions.
The programme was only wound down in 1993. 1993. One year before South Africa’s first democratic election. Three years after Nelson Mandela and others were released.
A man who headed apartheid South Africa’s secret chemical and biological warfare programme, involving the development of lethal agents and the investigation of their use against human beings?
He is a deeply disturbing figure in South Africa’s history.
He is a symbol of the machinery of apartheid at its most depraved.
That is why his moniker is “Dr Death.” He was the Apartheid regime’s Josef Mengele.
And that is the history that must never be sanitised or sugar-coated. Bfr.
I heard someone say, satan got adam and eve to fix their eyes on one tree when god had already given them an entire garden, think about that. The enemy didn't have to convince them that they had nothing. He just had to make them forget everything that they already had. And he still, till this day, uses the same strategy. He gets us to focus on relationships we don't have, the job that we don't have, the opportunity we don't have, the healing we haven't seen yet. Meanwhile, we are blind to the countless prayers god has already answered. Gratitude isn't pretending you don't want more, it's refusing to let what you don't have make you forget the goodness of god that's already surrounding you.
Please tuck this list of scriptures somewhere accessible. The next time you are afraid and don’t know what to do please read these scriptures out loud. God bless you.

I think growing up around women who rarely wore makeup, except for special occasions and that definitely shaped how I relate to it. I never really learned to see makeup as a prerequisite for looking presentable, feminine or put together. But beyond that, as I've gotten older,
The white guy who stole R745m from Eskom got a wholly suspended sentence as per deal with IDAC, his black co-accused will spend 5 years direct imprisonment for stealing R6m.
You guys are so scared to become your parents when parenting your children that you decided to not parent at all.
Your kids are monsters with no manners, you still have time to change that.
Let’s pray,
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for carrying us into a brand-new month August.
Thank You for the gift of life, for breath in our lungs, and for keeping us even when we didn’t know we needed to be kept.
This month, O Lord, we do not enter with fear or anxiety, we enter with faith.
We hand over every worry, every burden, every plan and every desire into Your capable hands. This is the 8th month, a month of new beginnings, divine alignment, supernatural shifts, and unprecedented favor.
In the name of Jesus, we declare:
•In August, we will not lack. Provision will meet us in unexpected places.
•In August, we will not mourn. We will laugh, we will testify, we will rejoice.
•In August, we will not be confused. Clarity, wisdom, and divine strategy will flow freely.
•In August, we will not be ignored. We will be remembered, celebrated, and selected for good news.
•In August, we will not be stagnant. Every closed door that is ours will swing open wide. We call forth the favor of God like rain. And we thank You in advance because You are not a man that You should lie, what You promised, You will perform. Amen.
