Blog 30: The Bigger Picture 🌸


A Season of Light

This week has been God’s light shining on me heavily and unapologetically. There’s a sweetness in the air, a rhythm that feels divinely aligned. I woke up feeling happy, aware, and excited. More than ever, I’m recognizing both my blind spots and my strengths. And with that awareness comes gratitude—because God has been good, and He remains good always.

Days are never the same; some feel light, others heavy. But the constant truth is this: your goals, your dreams, your purpose they must always move in the direction of the bigger plan you’ve set for yourself. It’s not about perfection; it’s about persistence.


Trusting the Process ✨

There’s a bigger picture behind every step we take. Trusting the process is not some simple motivational slogan that whispers, “Oh, you can do it, and it will all work out.” No, it’s much deeper than that.

Trusting the process is a declaration. It’s proof that consistency works. It’s a reminder to stay the course even when you’re tired, even when you’re unseen, even when the results are far from blooming.

Because the truth is growth often happens underground. Before the flower opens, there are months of hidden labor: seeds pressed deep into the soil, watered in darkness, nurtured in silence. We don’t clap for the roots, but without them, there’s no bloom.

From Seeds to Bloom 🌱🌸

This season feels like bloom. I see the results of seeds planted back in January, during the harder, darker days. Back when I was sowing, watering, and waiting.

There were moments I felt unseen. Days when the weight of labor almost broke me. Nights when my dreams felt too fragile to survive. But through it all, hope held me firm. Faith whispered louder than fear. And now? The flowers are beginning to open.

This is the part of the journey that feels beautiful. But let’s not forget the less beautiful seasons that brought us here. They matter. They are part of the testimony.

God Remains Good 🙏

In every season sowing or reaping, waiting or celebrating God remains good. That is the anchor that steadies me when I feel shaken. That is the light that keeps me moving forward when shadows fall across my path.

We don’t get to skip the process. We don’t get to bloom without planting, to harvest without sowing, to celebrate without sacrifice. But what we do get is the assurance that every step matters, every seed counts, and every season holds purpose.

So yes God is good. Always. Even in the unseen, even in the silence, even in the struggle. Especially then.

Final Reflection 💫

Today, I’m more at peace, more joyful, and more aligned with the bigger picture of my life. Not because everything is perfect, but because I’ve learned to trust the process. To love the bloom, but honor the seed. To celebrate the light, but remember the dark.

If you’re in your sowing season right now, hold steady. If you’re blooming, stay humble. Wherever you are, know this: God is working, consistency is proof, and your journey is leading somewhere greater than you imagine.

Keep going. Stay rooted. Trust the process. 🌸

Blog 23: The Hood, The Lie of Sacrifice & The Freedom of Truth

Image
A deep reflection on place, purpose, and the lie of the savior complex. The Hood Is Heavy There’s something deeply unsettling about the “hood”—not just the geography of it, but the spirit it carries. I live in the hood. It’s loud. It’s bitter. It’s angry. And more often than not, it’s dangerous—not only to the body, but to the soul. The fruits are the same, over and over again: scarcity, jealousy, gossip, violence, and trauma dressed up as toughness. You feel it in the streets. You hear it in the casual cruelty of neighbors. And somehow, you’re just expected to adapt . But I can’t romanticize the hood. Not today. Because what I see is a system that was engineered to break people down—and sadly, it's doing just that. A Short History: How the Townships Were Designed Let’s be clear: black people didn’t choose the hood— the system chose it for us. South African townships, where the majority of black communities still reside, were a product of apartheid’s violent spatial pl...

Blog 23: Hey, Yourself

Image
A soft reminder to rest and reflect. Waking Up with Joy Hey, yourself. This week has been amazing , hey? I woke up each day excited, ready to face the morning with an open heart. My mind felt clear—lighter, even—and there was no anxiety clouding my vision. Just peace. Just presence. It’s been a long time since I felt this in my body. Like I’m finally breathing again after holding it in for months. I allowed myself the luxury of rest and the tenderness of reflection—and that, in itself, felt like a miracle. Facing the Exhaustion I'd Been Ignoring I realised something this week: I hadn’t given myself the space to truly process life —its weight, its surprises, its pressures. I’ve been in motion for so long, running from one task to the next, that I forgot what stillness felt like. That caught up with me. It showed up in my face. In my attitude. In my spirit. I was exhausted, bestie. And when exhaustion lingers long enough, it doesn’t just wear you down—it changes you. It beco...

Blog 21: Choosing Peace, Not Performance

Image
This week, I’ve been noticeably quiet on social media. I didn’t feel the need to post, to show up online, or to prove that I’m still working toward something. I’ve simply needed silence—a moment to step back and reflect on what truly matters. And in that stillness, I’ve found something I haven’t felt in a long time: peace. For the first time in a long time, I feel more at ease with my decisions than I ever did during the intense grind of the last five years. Those years were filled with hustle, ideas, pushing, pulling, overthinking, trying—and sometimes failing—to make everything happen all at once. It’s been exhausting, and the pressure I placed on myself was constant and loud. But this week? My mind feels lighter. My chest isn’t tight with anxiety. There’s a softness in how I speak to myself. I no longer feel like I’m behind, racing, or missing out. I’ve accepted that change is okay. Redirection is divine. Starting over is still progress. And this new direction I’m choosing feels r...
