I am because we are – UBUNTU

Yesterday we had our Spring Queen, it was the first one after 17 years, the whole event was planned 3 weeks prior and although there were many hick ups in the end everything came together, we hardly ever see our BIG Boss and for me it was awesome to spend a view brief moments with him. I was just reminded of the acronym for TEAM (TOGETHER, EVRYONE, ACHIEVES, MORE) the whole event wouldn’t been possible if everyone didn’t work together, the small little bits that one or many contributed made a huge impact.

Beauty pageants make us uncomfortable because it is very much of the outward appearance and yesterday I saw how God restored SELF CONFIDENCE in our ladies that took part of the whole show, I was one of them and it was AMAZING. I was reminded of the Spirit of UBUNTU “I am because WE ARE”, we encouraged each other, our smiles were contagious and there was just so much love going around, I felt a part of a big family the RW Design Family.
I saw people putting themselves(EGO)away for the sake of “TEAM SPIRIT” one scripture that came to mind was “Where there is UNITY God commands a blessing”. I felt like one of God’s Princesses, I literally won the prize of 1st Princess and I felt so pretty, it was AWESOME!! Just as I felt God’s love bestowed on me, how much more didn’t the rest of t he ladies feel. Many of the participants in the show is Mothers, Wives, Single Moms and life had happened to them in some way or another and that has left them scarred, BUT God yoh!! HE DID HIS THING52 YESTERDAY!! As we all were strutting our stuff, the smiles that were given, the walks that were walked it spoke a thousand words, I am so grateful that I was a part of it, it warmed my heart and gave me a sense of God’s unconditional love…

I am not an island, as a UNIT we pulled off one of the HIGHLIGHTS in RW Design’s history and nothing would have been possible if we all didn’t do our bit, but everyone came together in one spirit, that UBUNTU Spirit “I am because WE ARE”. I am so PROUD of our ladies and I am honoured to be a part of RW Design, I look forward to many more of wonderful years ahead.

Thank you Lord for your BLESSINGS on us!!

We are so used to...

We are so used to allowing our current circumstances consume us, we lament we groan and moan and we are often so confused as to what the next step must be that we should take.  The groaning and moaning of How unfair this is, Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?  Etc and we find people to complain to but we do nothing about our situations. We then use our situations to fall in abuse of substances and we even turn to other things we never thought we were capable of…because we are so vulnerable and the enemy will use that vulnerability to his advantage. We worry about what this one is going to say. How is it going to look to others? I won’t be able to do this and that? My question to you is, can you afford not to walk away? These are the thoughts that keep us captive. In Hosea 4:6 God reminds us that my people perish through lack of knowledge. So surely when you know better you should do better, right? Look we are all at different spaces in our lives but when we a

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?"   "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif
