It’s been an honour, truly, to witness this year come to an end. I am convinced, deeply convinced, that I am God’s favourite child. I have always known that God does not play about me, but this year revealed the magnitude of His hand over my life. God is not to be messed with when it comes to me. I almost died this year, multiple times, and it would have been a tragedy, but God had different plans.
Sometimes God allows things to happen so that His glory may be revealed, and for His glory, I will stand here and say that there is no other God like my God.
This year, I had so many close calls with accidents that at one point I had to stop my car and thank God. So many people were exposed. People I thought were friends. People I believed had my back. God knows conversations I was never present for. He sees everything, He knows everything, and He stood on my behalf.
When the truth was finally exposed, I understood why I stand out. I was ashamed to admit it because it felt like I was bragging. It felt like I was being extra, extreme, and that I should simply be humble. But the truth remains. I am a smart woman. I am an amazing woman inside and out. I am strong. I am kind. I am gentle. I am loving. I am a whole bag, with a few pockets full of gold.
I make people uncomfortable, and now I understand why I never blended in. I am anointed. I am rare. And everything that was exposed about what people said and did only taught me one thing. I will never dim my light.
This year, I also fought an intruder. A man broke into my home with the intention to cause havoc. I had to make several safety changes after that encounter. Remember when I said God does not play about me. I walked away from that fight with only a scar on my hand and broken furniture. As for him, I am certain he will never again underestimate any woman on God’s green earth.
Although I survived, there are moments when sudden noises still frighten me. It took time for my sleep to return to normal. Nonetheless, I remain grateful to be alive. This was no coincidence. God did not preserve me for convenience. He preserved me for purpose. I trust that, in time, I will understand why my existence stirs so much reaction from different people.
As this year closes, I want to wish you a new year filled with gentleness where you have been bruised, strength where you have been stretched, and peace where you have been weary. May the year ahead restore what was taken from you quietly. May it heal the parts of you that never found the words to speak. May you walk into rooms without shrinking, love without fear, and rest without guilt. I pray that what survives with you into this new year is only what God Himself approved. May you be protected in ways you will never have to find out about, and may grace speak for you even when you are silent.
I pray you don’t get to do this life alone, that God, who is all giving and very gracious will give you a partner who will not stand behind you, in-front of you but by your side. Life is hard, may He grant you someone who will worship and fast for you in the storms and celebrate you when you’ve won. I speak of this because I’ve seen social media go crazy over couples this year, so many couples were attacked, others I know didn’t make it and it broke my heart as some met when I was around, I’m a bit of matchmaker myself 🥰🥰and I witnessed them making vows not to leave each other. A friend of mine lost her husband too and it was heartbreaking watching her grief and pick up the pieces, so I pray that the love that finds you stays with you till you’re old, wrinkly with no teeth, death will do you part. A lot of people are curious about my love life, I’m still not married, still without a child, I speak on love and marriage because many hearts are attentive to the subject. God is the author of love and the keeper of timing. Marriage is not a race, and love is not a reward for being early. It is a calling that God releases with intention, not pressure. When God gives love, He gives it with wisdom, with covering, and with purpose.
God knows the hearts of His children. He knows our desires, our wounds, our prayers spoken and unspoken. He knows what kind of love would build us and what kind would break us, and He is faithful enough to withhold what is premature and generous enough to release what is perfect. What appears like waiting is often God protecting the depth of love He intends to give.
To those seeking love, be at peace. Love that comes from God does not arrive in chaos or confusion. It comes with clarity, safety, and alignment. It does not require you to abandon yourself, lower your standards, or negotiate your worth. God is not careless with hearts. He does not rush unions that He has not yet finished shaping. Trust that if God can form the heart, He can also form the timing.
Do not worry about the things God has already claimed authority over. Love is one of them. Marriage is one of them. God is able to orchestrate encounters, heal hearts, and unite souls without strain or striving. When the season is right, love will meet you where you are, not where society expects you to be. It will recognise you because God introduced you long before you even met, rest your heart.
Timing is a sacred language that God speaks fluently. What looks slow to people is often precise to God. Good things are not withheld from those who walk with Him; they are prepared. God is deliberate with seasons, and He does not release blessings into chaos. When the time is right, doors open without force, answers arrive without confusion, and favour meets you where you stand. Good things are not a possibility in God. They are your portion.
So do not rush what God is still aligning. What is meant for you will not miss you, and what is not meant for you will not be able to stay. Trust that God is arranging details you cannot see and protecting outcomes you have not yet imagined. In His timing, goodness will meet you fully formed, and when it does, it will be evident that it arrived exactly when it was supposed to.
Rest, please rest in His faithfulness. If my life was on the line I will still give my last breath standing on this fact; GOD WILL NEVER FAIL YOU! Go again, go try again! Go do it again… go win
I am blessed to serve a God who is jealous over me, who guards me fiercely, who does not allow harm my way, and who permits pain only when it is meant to refine me. If there is one thing I will never doubt in this life, it is His presence.
Let’s meet again next year
(Yes, I will still be about Christ)
