It was always meant to be this way.

Something I received this week made me go drag out my old journals. Ive been stuck on the 2014 one because I found some gems that made me laugh out loud and the ones where I said, wow God . 



Here I am saying how I'm "thoroughly enjoying WFH" because I got used to home clothes and messy hair for yeeeaaaars that I thought that was my portion forever. That all God meant for me was to save the world from home. Which isn't bad. But I forgot that girl that once dreamt things. ðŸĨš Cos like in this day and age, testimonies like my fathers where only reaching Form 4 and making something of himself was only of the older generations tales. But. 
He. Did. It. Again. with my unfinished degree and lack of "experience" in the secular world, He did it. Again.

I messaged my sis that gifted me that journal, "Thank you for this timeless gift. ðŸĨšI got to record what God had for me all along even though I buried the dream along the way." 

One of my first weeks in the job, I kept laughing to myself saying, 
"Father. Come on. Why am I here? People who work here have to be good in Maths & Accounting which is NOT MY thing!" 

God: Who told you it was not YOUR thing? 

Sometimes we get so used to how society defines life that we think it's supposed to be true of us. Society may give suggestions of who we are, but they shouldn't define who we are. 

Sometimes we get so used to a certain season because it's been alot of days that turned in to years, that you think that's your final destination when really, you've only just begun. 

I just felt I wanted to share an encouragement to those who may not feel so certain in where they're at right now, or uncertainty in what the world (or nation) is going through right now, God knows. 

I'll  be honest. We don't know how long this pandemic will last here in Viti, if we'll still have a job by the end of the year, but this I do know, He is SO aware and able to do anything! 
In one of my longest waiting seasons, I know things had to happen (painfully) the way it did for me to be where I am today spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. And I wouldn't have it any other way. 



I hope you find comfort in these words I received in my uncertainty/disbelief, 

"It was always meant to be this way." - God

Doing It Anyway

For some reason, I thought I needed to be out of the woods of this process to be able to tell the story. At least a proper one where my emotions are not in the way. The danger of doing it anyway is you feeling the rawness of the rage, the hurt, the heartbreak, the bitterness.  But I want to stay alive and telling the story helps me do that. Not for likes and follows and shares, but to simply stay alive.  Cue tears.  There's this misconception among Christians sometimes that nothing bad happens to us if we believe in Jesus. You know because God is good all the time and  Great things He has done. I'm not writing to imply those aren't true. I just want to tell my story.  This blog has been about my journey. Testimonies of God's faithfulness in grief, suffering and celebrating life and milestones. And so the journey continues.  Here's what I've been dealt with: a relationship that I love(d) where he wanted to marry me ..... and then he didn't, the morning of....

Imagine a girl growing up in a safe little good Christian home. Key words: safe, good and CHRISTIAN.  I start here because when the environment in your development stages in life is safe, good and Christian, your views and ideas about life is very limited. Limited to only good things. It's not bad and I'm not ungrateful but I say limited because I had no idea how to cope when bad things happened to me because it was a foreign concept and that it was even possible to happen to me in the first place. God was my protector I was taught and I should be immune to bad things?  I look back and see trauma happened one after the other for me in my 20s and now 30s that I guess is where my safety net comes in. My safety net being how I was raised as default - prayer, Bible and family with phrases like, "just pray about it!"   Great stuff but does not negate the fact that I was raised to believe that God is good all the time and for a kid that was raised in that environment, unco...

Steve Penny Prophecy for Fiji! PROPHECY BY STEVE PENNY AT CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE, Nausori, Fiji - Monday,3 November,1997 "This nation shall experience a cloud of the glory of God, the anointing coming down upon this nation like a thick cloud filled with rain , filled with great potential and it will come down and it will blanket all of the islands like a cloud and it won't come and just wash across and go, but it will settle and it will continue to fall ...the rain of God's presence will fall on this nation in a powerful way. And the reviving of the Spirit…literally within five years, this nation will be awash with a great Revival. One side to another, this nation will literally be under the blanket of a move of the Spirit of God like you've never seen before. Just about every denomination will be touched...only those that are very, very resistant will hold out against it, but whole denominations will be swept into this move of the Spirit. There'll be un...
