People who Inspire Me:

 There are a lot of people who inspire me and sure thing that you will be learning a lot about them in my next editions. I couldn't get anyone to come in the flow of the title of this edition, it was more of a deal with me encounter.

I almost lost the essence of truly being me and it almost compromised my offerings, including the essence of this blog. I usually think I deserve all the good that is happening in my life and I almost missed the grace added to it. All of my doings and happenings must at all cost give Glory to God and if I fail to locate the grace I take away Glory where it's due.

I believe in things happening for a reason. I had a recepient to be featured for this week but there was a delay in response to my questions. I believe the reason was to get me to see the value to all of my life including the blog and so continue with my work with full dedication to pleasing God.

My father spoke of the story of Hannah who couldn't bear any children. She asked for a child and pledged to offering him to God. I asked for a purposeful life and this blog is an extension of it and I offer it to God.

Stay tuned for more people who inspire me, I have a great line up for all of you. My gratitude to my mom and Mond Motadi (who grace the last two editions respectively) for just being God sent and proving that God honours me so much.

Fashion Corner: Look of the Week

This week's look really opened my eyes to what I have been missing and it really allowed me to solidify my place in being truly myself. 

When you do something so much you think it can never get better. You stop seeing it's value. This look really made me see the value in not only what I do but who I am. 

My Facebook stories and Instagram posts were really a testament to this look. Leading to this some looks really came to play in this solid ground I now live on.

Grey baggy shirt and faded blue jeans both from @MrPrice, White shirt under the baggy shirt (layering in style) and a white cap. I saw what I have been missing for quite a while. I am good at being truly me.

Musical Being:

 The song is not Amazing Grace. It's a song by Khaya Mthethwa and it's called Mkhulu Umsebenzi(Great is the Work). The lyrics speak of my journey this week. 

Translation of the lyrics: 'Now I see that all this time you were busy in me, there is a fullness of knowing you, your mercy and your patience daily when I see my doings and faults. I felt like I am far from you, when my strength depleted, you showed me your strength that is inside me. Yes I see, yes I believe that great is the work you have started in me yes I am grateful'.

My Thoughts

My week was rather challenging, I found myself being discouraged because I felt I was giving but not receiving anything. My prayers to God were complains and asking for the same thing over and over again. There was clearly something I was missing because I know God answers prayers.

During one of my morning prayers I realized that I had no eyes to see the things that God has provided. I was blind and so I asked to see again. Immediately my eyes were enlighten to all things that God is doing and I have clear sight of his works.

When you ask for change, you trust God to do it but you don't know when it's going to happen. Over time God transitions you to the change and you notice hints of it, but are conflicted because your old self still feels familiar. This causes you to be confused and lack the eyes to see the newness you are becoming. I didn't realize that I was changing. 

I have changed and finally acknowledging it has solidified my new self and has left no place for old self to creep back. I am liking my newself and I anticipate more greater change as I grow. I was blind but now I see.
