CULTIVATE THANKFULNESS

 



One year ago today, I was kidnapped. 

Yeah, you saw that right... KIDNAPPED. 

The whole ordeal lasted for a few hours, some money had to be paid, and I had a few bruises here and there but...the testimony is that I'm here today! Rather than wonder why it had to happen at all, I choose be thankful. Oh, I'm so thankfulllll! Besides, prior to that incident, there had been many other robbery incidents where my life was at stake, but GOD!

So this is me saying ABBA, KEEPER, SUSTAINER, THANK YOU! In our local parlance, PAPA YOU DO WELL!!! I'm so grateful Father! 

Alright, enough of my gist😁 Meanwhile, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!!💃💃💃 💥💥💥

Such a blessed and wonder-filled year lies ahead for you! Your path will drip fatness, you will be led by God's Spirit every step of the way and light will shine on your path. You won't miss a turn neither will you miss His voice. It'll be your year of precision and accuracy in Jesus' name!




One thing we must do more than ever this year is stay thankful. 2020 taught me to remain ever thankful for the lives and health of my family and friends. And, as you may have heard, there will yet be more disheartening news from around the world as the year progresses but, through it all, be thankful and stay thankful. 

Cultivate a habit of thanksgiving and thanks-living. Let it be a lifestyle for you every day of this year. Don't begin in January and then become a pile of anxiety and complaints half-way through the year. Trust God to stay thankful throughout the year (I'll do my best to remind you in every post that will be made this year; my own way of keeping us both accountable. You're welcome😉)



So, as you go along in the year, thank your way out of every challenge that may arise; continually express your faith in God and in His plans for you through thanksgiving as Abraham did; instead of worrying and getting anxious, make your requests known to God with thanksgiving; start, end and sandwich your day with thanksgiving... Basically, stay thankful at all times, no matter the cost! God helps you!🤗

Till our next post... Stay thankful!


Your friend,

Precious.

    Thank you so much for sharing this Precious! It's easy to be thankful within 1st to 3rd of January and forget so soon afterwards. I'm grateful God ❤️❤️❤️🙏

    Wow! I ran with the speed of light from Instagram with my heart in my mouth, that was scary. I'm glad you are here and fine. If there's anything I've learnt is that there's always something to be grateful, ungratefulness and complaining just seems easier. Whatever the case, God is always good and has got me.

Free Expert Editing for Authors and Startup Organisations

Hello! Welcome again to the blog!  I believe that your month went beautifully well -- goals were smashed, challenges were overcome, and you impacted at least one life positively. No worries if you still have some goals to smash. March isn't over yet😉  I come with exciting news! Tia Edits is currently running a free editing program for authors (or soon-to-be authors😎) and startup organisations . Yes, it's absolutely free. The need for this came while I was thinking about how to contribute to startup organisations by helping them push out error-free content. I also decided to add authors to the program because, as an author myself, I know how important the editing stage is to the success of any book. The package for authors includes editing three books from three authors over a period of 6 months, while that for organisations ( startups, small businesses,  online businesses etc.) includes editing the content of 2 organisations twice weekly, over a period of 2 months.  After tw

Love's Response

Have you ever wondered how the negative occurrences that took place in your childhood didn't take you out? Some of us did really terrible things when we were young... I'm trying hard not to shake this table but I actually heard of someone who, while playing, locked himself up in the freezer when he was young! How did he survive it?! God alone knows!  Well, as I was saying before the diversion, some of us did terrible things when we were young but for some others, terrible things happened to us. Some were abused physically, sexually, mentally etc. in their childhood, some had a child/children out of wedlock, some were terribly ill, some experienced difficulties in learning, some had their parents abandon them, and some people (like me😂) were rescued from 'falling' into a relationship that would have landed them where they shouldn't be. Everyone has a different story to tell, but did it ever occur to you that you're standing because somehow those things didn'

  Hey you! It's a been a whiiiilllllleee!😁 I know, and I apologise. I just kept saying "I'll write next month", until I went 3 months without writing! The dangers of procrastination😶 How have you been though? I trust all is well with you and yours. Today, I'd like to briefly share something that was on my heart at the beginning of the year and I've recently been reminded of. It took me a while to decide on what the topic would be as I wasn't sure how to capture it in one short phrase, but it became clear as I typed this. At the beginning of the year, we were told at my local assembly that it would be a year of wonders, and that God was set to work wonders in our lives. Of course, this got everyone excited as we anticipated the miraculous in every area of our lives. However, as I prayed that my family and I would see wonders, the Holy Spirit began to open my eyes to the fact that the wonders we were expecting wouldn't happen as many think; rather, it
