it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
A moving woman (me) will have it all. The career that fulfills her. The love that steadies her. The properties in her name. The passport full of stamps. 🤞
Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.
somewhere in lagos a hot babe has dressed up to head out to work in her chiffon dress, which she did not iron because she believes it will stretch before she gets to the office 🤭
The second wave of puberty
The fully functional frontal lobe
The adult decisions
The carefree and happy side
The less need to please people
The glow up
I didn’t fully understand what David meant in Psalm 27 when he wrote “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living”… until I walked through a season where seeing it felt almost impossible.
He wasn’t writing that from a place of comfort. David wrote that in the middle of enemies surrounding him. In the middle of uncertainty. In the middle of a season where everything felt like it was working against him.
And yet he made a declaration. Not a wish. Not a prayer request. A confident declaration that he would see God’s goodness. In this life. Not just eventually. Here.
I think about that for every woman who is in a hard season right now wondering if things are ever going to turn around. Wondering if the goodness is real or if it’s for other people but somehow not quite for her.
It is for you. The goodness is real and it is coming into your actual life… not just your faith life. Into your relationships. Your health. Your finances. Your peace. The areas where you’ve been waiting the longest.
Stay confident. Not because you can see it yet. But because He said it. And what He says doesn’t return void. 🤍✨
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV
You can literally have the worst week of your life and then a few days later, life becomes so beautiful again and you feel happier than ever.
Remember this when you're going through a rough patch. It will pass. Give it time. God is on your side.
Not to sound delusional, but please pray for grace. Life isn't really about hard work. It's more about alignment, meeting the right people, grace, mercy, and favour.
