Fear He is a Liar: Part 2 (My Testimony)

Image
Hey Readers! Welcome back to Life, Faith &Love. This week I want to share a bit of my testimony, specifically on how I overcame fear. Fear was something I dealt with from the time I was 10 till about age 20. I dealt with different types of fear. From age 10 to 15 I was afraid of going upstairs to the kitchen by myself when everyone was downstairs to get food or something to drink. Around that age I was also afraid to sleep in the dark in my room by myself. These might appear to be normal things children fear of, but if left undealt, what presents itself as innocent can spread into a malignant and dangerous growth.  As I got older, I did outgrow my fear of the dark or being a lone, but that fear transferred into fear of failure. I was afraid to fail in anything I did. Especially when I got to college. I went to college with the desire to be a pharmacist, but I was so afraid of failure. My very first exam I took was in general chemistry and I got a 76 out of 100. I was so discourage

FEAR He is A Liar Part 1

Image
  I once listened to a young man speak about his fears. He was in the middle of starting his own business and he was afraid to fail. He had to take out a cumulative loan of $40 million dollars to begin his business. If I was him, I would have been scared out of my mind also. $40 million dollars is a lot of money. Before he signed the documents for the loans he was confused, afraid to fail and feared disappointing his friends and family. The young man explained how he overcame his fears and I found it very powerful. To summarize his statement, "I decided to think about the fears in my mind, rather than suppress or ignore them. I took a pen and paper and I wrote down all of my "What Ifs." What If I take this loan and my business fails? What if no one wants to work for me? What if my MBA degree didn't equip me for this company. By the time I ended I had at least 12 "What Ifs." After writing all my fears down, I then proceeded to answer all my questions. One by

God's Peace In the Midst of Life Storms

Image
  Have you ever walked through a tough season in life that challenged your peace? Trust, going through life without peace of mind is exhausting, you will crash eventually. I've walked through seasons in my life where my peace was shaken. I've dealt with relationships that challenged my peace and I had to decide to guard my peace at all cost. First, I had to go to my source of Peace which is from God. He refills my cup of peace, then I had to set healthy boundaries within relationships to maintain my peace. Today, I just wanted to provide a couple scriptures if you are struggling with having Peace right now. Meditate on these scriptures and speak them over your life daily. You will see a major difference. 1 -John 16:33, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." 2 -Psalm 4:8, "In Peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in s

Ethiopia is Bleeding: Stories of the Tigray People

Image
  Hey Readers, For those of you who are reading this blog post today, December 24th, before I go into today's story, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas Eve!!! Hope you are all having a great time with family and friends! Today's blog post is to shed light on what is going on in Ethiopia. The Tigray people in Ethiopia report an increase in discrimination and abuse from authorities. Nearly 50,000 Tigrayans have fled Ethiopia, in what the United Nation calls as the worst exodus of refugees Ethiopia has seen in more than two decades. Many ethnic Tigrayans who live in the capital and other parts of Ethiopia say they have been treated like criminal suspects and subjected to various forms of discrimination, harassment and abuse by government officials. They report being detained without charges, put under house arrest, and barred from traveling outside the country. Tigrayans say they have had their businesses shut down, homes ransacked and money extorted by security officials. My

#EndSARs Testimonies from Nigeria

Image
  Hey Readers, Welcome back to Life, Faith &Love, where I share YOUR stories. For the past couple of weeks I've been focused on testimonies from Africa. Africa is bleeding badly right now. Today's testimony comes from the well known country of Nigeria. The people of Nigeria have been suffering from police brutality. "End SARs is a decentralized social movement, and series of mass protests against police brutality in Nigeria. The slogan calls for the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a notorious unit of the Nigerian Police with a long record of abuses." Today I will sharing two stories from BBC news. The testimony from this individual echoes the voices of several others that have also been impacted by SARs.  "Earlier this month, Isiaka Jimoh was on his way to his mum's house. Police allegedly dispersed tear gas and bullets to those protesting on the street. He never made it home to his mom's. Eyewitness say he was shot by police. Pol
