One Year Strong Today!

 Approximately one year ago today January 10th, I received divine inspiration to commence this Blog. It all came about while I was in the midst of deep distress, fear, rejection, persecution and the voice within me that just kept on crying out. Providence interrupted, and as God heard my cry, He asked me this one simple question, “Who better to encourage and empower yourself but you through the word of God?” The birthing took place and from that moment I  have been blogging and writing inspirational articles sharing with others through my own life experiences and pointing others in the direction of renewed faith, hope and trust in the one true living God.

I want you to know that it has been a superbly amazing journey while three things remained constant in my life. Firstly, writing has always been my passion, simply because I believe that I am able to express and communicate my ideas and thoughts best when I do it through my writings. Secondly, I write because I believe through my voice that I can communicate for those who for whatever reason their voice has been shut up and are not able to express for themselves their beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and emotions. Thirdly, I have found one of the greatest miseries in life is when you have something to say, you know what you have to say can make a difference and there is no one to say it to, except that is, you write it.
Further, my intellectual being has opened up even more and I am strongly convinced now that my destiny, your destiny, it is more than just a dream. It is a reality as we live out the dream each day. Through no doing of mine, I am divinely connected to so many others – fellow Bloggers, persons who I have met through this Blog who I call my Blog friends, whose purpose and their own story have brought clarity to my life, confirmation and a spirit of oneness, that we are indeed children of the most high God. Our lives are intertwined, our goals are clear and the journey is made easier because I met each one of you.

My heartfelt thank you to everyone who have in whatever way supported my Blog, have joined me in the cause for which I represent, who from time to time leave comment/feedback and your kind words of encouragement. You have blessed me in more ways than you could have ever imagined.

A special mention to the following: Myne Whitman of Romance Meets Life; Chris Jennings Penders of Wisdom And Life; Joy Okut of iNyamu’s Eldorado; Bola Essien-Nelson of The Salt Chronicles; Ngozi Ngadi of Heal The Broken Hearted; Michelle Garrett of Divas With A Purpose; Joyce of I Take Off The Mask; Blazy~Fashion; Yolanda banks of The Guardian Angel Who Had A Loud Voice; The ProDiva at The Martini Chronicles; and ALL my Blog friends and followers on Bloggers.com I saw that you could swim and stay afloat every time I looked at you. I though to myself, if you can swim out in the deep and swim so effortlessly, then me being created by the one who created you, must mean that I can do it just as well too. Thank you for being such a source of inspiration to me.

Lest I forget, a heartfelt thank you to my Facebook and Twitter friends for your love and support.
