In 2020, the lord began to take me through a painful process in a specific area of my life that moulded me into who I am today. I couldn’t understand why God was trying to tear down a part of me that I held so dear and was very passionate about.
Safe to say that early this year, I finally understood why the lord took me through that journey. He needed to because of the great work he had planned for me ahead. He isn’t gonna cast his pearls before swine, so he needed to change me into the version of me he intended.

Vulnerability is never easy and there’s no getting used to it. It requires you opening up parts of yourself that you may not even proud of. Parts of yourself that you would get judged for if you told everyone.

Because more often than not, the Holyspirit already prepares their heart to receive you and all your flaws and help you through whatever you may be going through. Listen, Enjoy and Share. 🥂
