Finding my worth

You know what?

I have come to realise that as women...young women, it is very important that we understand our worth.
As Daddy's Princess, you are far more precious than rubies. You are a pearl of great price who must not throw herself down for pigs to feed on. Do not be the ring on the snout of a pig... you will only be put in a sludge...always.

This morning, on my way to work, I came to an understanding that as an individual, when you know your worth and are unwilling to settle for less, you will be amazed at the incredible and unimaginable options available for you to choose from. I know that the first thing that will come to mind for some of you will be concerning the choice of spouse but when I say this, I mean same for other choices we may have to make in future... like choosing to come to Ghana to develop your country rather than choosing to work in a developed country to make so much money.

Even on the matter of being single and choosing a spouse, Sinach said something I so love! She said that true(I added this) contentment does not come from our would-be spouses or from anything else than the knowing that we are fulfilling Daddy's call on our lives. That is all that matters.

I would add that indeed, our worth does not come from what a man may say about us but rather from what is written in Daddy's books concerning us. I had an interesting conversation with a friend and after listening to all that he said, there was a mental picture formed in my head of how effulgent in confidence I would be after hearing him talk about my worth. In a split second, my correct-self addressed me by reminding me that his opinions of me should not be the measuring rod for which I assess myself. Because come to think of it... if a man's opinion of me is what makes me confident in myself, then what happens if that man tells me that I am worthless? That is sure case of low self-esteem coming up! You know what, God's opinion of me is all that matters because at the end of the day, my life's work is truly before an audience of ONE. 

...that was a re-calibration for me right there :)... check out Sharing Life's post titled, "CALIBRATE". 

How easy we sometimes tilt towards that line of believing that what a man may say about us is all that matters. Chale. 

Still, I need more WORD in my system to confidently carry myself in the manner that I should.

It is well ooo

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher.  It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on.  Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me.  And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth.  After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times.  I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all f...

An Invitation to Intimacy

  I gave my life to Jesus in St. Louis Senior High School.  I am very sure I had gone forward for altar calls many times before that. But St. Louis was different. I was conscious; I was aware of myself and my environment. I knew I needed God in my life. To be honest, the issues of life drove me to take God seriously. A friend had had a dream about her and me and the moment she shared it, I knew I had to let go of the old garment and take on the new. So, I joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) meetings and that was where my life changed.  That encounter led me to a great relationship with the Lord. I read the Scriptures (my favourite was the Book of Psalms because I used that to pray a lot). It was in St. Louis I learnt I was never alone (why do you think I support Liverpool FC so much?). I learnt to rely on Him alone.  When I entered the University, I realized a newfound freedom and observed (by the Grace of God) that if I didn’t take my spirituality seriousl...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs".  I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit.     Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...
