This Christmas will go down in the book of memories as one of my best. Ever.
I won’t bore you with the details other than to say, to God be the glory.
Truly, He still works in mysterious ways… and for that I’m most thankful

As the year slowly draws to an end and we look forward to the promise of 2016, my prayer for you is to:

*Continue to walk and bask in God’s grace
*Open your heart to give and receive unconditional love
*Remember that somebody loves you
*For the singles: somebody is praying to meet someone just like you
*Embrace the gift of each moment
*Enjoy the beauty of a sunset or sunrise
*Look for the rainbow after each storm
*Increase your faith
*Spend more time in prayer
*Spend more time meditating on the Word
*Choose always to live on purpose
*Laugh more
*Be courageous
*Cherish friendships
*Walk with confidence
*Shatter any self-imposed limitations
*Spread kindness
*Be a cheerful giver – of time, talent and self
*Hug more
*Talk less and listen more
*Sing more (even if it’s only in the shower)
*Ask for help
*Keep those boundaries intact
*Let go of those ties that are cut for a reason
*Take time out for you
*Sleep more
*Eat more chocolate
*Read at least one book a month
*Treat yourself as often as you can
*Always count your blessings
*Remember that you are a son/daughter of the Most High
*Immerse yourself in the favour that follows you
*Wake up each day with the knowledge that it’s your time
*2016 is the year of one miracle after another… no ear has heard or eye has seen what the Lord has in store for those who choose complete obedience
*More than anything else, I pray that you are always blessed with good health (body, mind and spirit). There’s no substitute for good health

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Last night I came across a trending topic (#ImOldEnoughToKnow) on Twitter that got me to sit back and think. Here are a few of things I’ve come to realise:

I’m old enough to know… the Author and Finisher and that He has the final say in all matters.

I’m old enough to know… that the winds of change are essential to our journey.

I’m old enough to know… when to keep quiet and simply listen.

I’m old enough to know… who is in my front row.

I’m old enough to know… why they were chosen to be part of my story.

I’m old enough to know… that what others think or say about me is really none of my business.

I’m old enough to know… that the choices I make have consequences.

I’m old enough to know… that I alone take responsibility for my actions.

I’m old enough to know… that it’s okay that I don’t always have all the answers.

I’m old enough to know… that I need to trust the process even when it doesn’t make sense.

I’m old enough to know… that it’s okay to be in a funk but the important thing is to snap out of it.

I’m old enough to know… that not everyone who smiles is in your corner.

I’m old enough to know… that you will meet Judas along your path; pray and let God take control.

I’m old enough to know… that when people choose to act disrespectfully, it’s not about you.

I’m old enough to know… that your purpose means you won’t win any popularity contest. That’s fine.

I’m old enough to know… that there’s a time to blend and a time to sit still and stay in your lane.

I’m old enough to know… that the hurt, pain and tears will eventually give way to smiles and peace.

I’m old enough to know… love is everything.

I’m old enough to know… that staying true to YOU is what is important.

I’m old enough to know… that God alone will vindicate you. Always. His grace is sufficient.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

The day started out like any other. There was one exception; my brother and sister were in charge and adamant that the rules below needed to be adhered to:

* No cellphones
* No talk about work
* No time checks
* Just be in the moment

We spent the day at Mangwanani Day Spa to unwind, relax and bond like siblings should. They also told me in no uncertain terms that I’m “way too serious and need to lighten up”.

I’m glad I listened…

At the end, my body, mind and spirit were completely rejuvenated and I was a happy camper.

Every. Single. Moment. Was. Treasured.

It’s important to step away from the rat race of life and be good to yourself.

I hope you will choose to make time for YOU!

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Stay fabulous & favoured xxx
