Kelly's Big Jump.



Bang! I heard a loud shatter behind me. 
The house was collapsing. Wood and cement and nails and sand flew everywhere, creating a mini tornado. I was terrified. "Daddy!" I screamed.

Father stood in the boat with his arms wide open. "Jump Kelly, Jump!" He shouted. 
I looked at the gap between where I was standing and Daddy's boat in the water. The gap was not small. The waters were not peaceful either.

Father saw my fear. "Kelly, just jump. I will catch you. I promise."

I closed my eyes, putting all my confidence in Him. He promised He will catch me.
 I jumped. 

He caught me in His arms and smiled into my face. "The leap of faith can be scary but remember, it is always worth it."

We watched as the house was razed down by the wind and scattered into a thousand pieces, flying everywhere, not sparing anything in its way.

Boy was I glad I jumped.

✨Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1✨

    "The leap of faith can be scary but remember, it is always worth it."

    This statement reminds me of a book I was reading towards the end of last year, 2019 - FAITHING IT.

    There's something about FAITH that is unique and completely distinguishes it from BELIEVE.

    FAITH comes with the performance of an ACTION. Sometimes, Believing isn't difficult: your development, realities, experiences, provisions & possibilities etc makes it so easy to believe. On instances where no experience nor any of the above is present, taking ACTION becomes difficult! Demonstration of FAITH in a period as this is truly SUPERnatural.

A FAT SLIM GIRL.

Image
                     (Image from Yoga matters) A FAT SLIM GIRL. She saw fat everywhere. It was in her face, in her neck, in her arms, in her stomach, in her thighs, in her legs. It was within and without her. Nobody saw her as fat. It was her mind, the mind she allowed social media to influence, that told her she was fat. It was the way she looked at herself in the mirror that got her upset about her weight. It was her low self-esteem and lack of confidence in herself that informed her change of behaviour. It was her lack of self love that led to her ruin. She was a healthy weight of a hundred and twenty pounds at age seventeen. She was healthy. She was okay. But she didn't see it like that. Her mind had been distorted by what she saw. It was not always like that. There once was a time when she was in love with her body. When she considering herself lucky to be 'full' in areas that mattered. When she had no fears or insecurities about her weight and the way she looke

We're Moving!

  Special one, we're moving ! Yessss A couple of days ago I finally bought into God's idea of expanding and stretching the curtains of my blogging journey. And yes, I admit I struggled with it for a while because it felt a little bit scary.  Actually, scratch that. It was very scary.  I didn't think I was ready and certainly didn't feel like making some commitments it would require from me. But I've learnt that when God says move, you better move! So whether I feel like I'm ready or not, this is me announcing to you that I would no longer be posting on the Godly Teens blog. We're moving to a new site, which would be the home of amazing and relatable blog posts from here on out.  I call it Purple Streaks. (Maybe I would write about how that name came about. *wink*) But before we head on over to the new site, I want to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU for being such loyal readers to my posts thus far. For commenting and sharing my posts. For critiquing my works and ad

THAT LIGHT CALLED HOPE

Image
"Hope is a flame that needs to be protected; it is the oxygen our dreams need to stay alive." -Eunice Obidi. Right now on this harmattan morning, as I write this blogpost, there are four items on the table before me: an empty glass, which held a steaming cup of Milo about four minutes ago; a red plastic plate with cake crumbs and clumps of abandoned icing sugar; a new notebook, it's pages smooth and crisp, waiting to be filled with everything bubbling in my heart; and an old notebook already filled cover to cover with different colors of ink. The old notebook, although wrinkled and the page edges folded up, is opened to a page titled "GOALSSS!" The writing is almost hard to read because it was written in red ink and is already smudging... But because I was the one who wrote it, it appears as clear to me as the day I wrote it on the third of January 2022.  As I read from line to line, page to page, I see the things I promised myself and God when this year started
