Season 2 Episode 6: PURPOSE, SELF-WORTH and a TESTIMONY

“The first thing I learned is that God will give you the grace. But you have to play your part.”

“She told me, “If I were you, I would pack my bags and go back home”. And I replied, “I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to go back. I don't know how to look back. I would rather take a break… and then try to find ways to advance.””

“There was a particular day when I was having suicidal ideations. And I felt God telling me, ”If you leave you won’t be here to see the end [of this story]. And you're going to deny every person that needs the story; that needs to hear this testimony…””

“Marriage is a good thing, God created marriage. But… we need to take a moment to go to God and ask Him, why did you make me as an individual? Why did you create me as a woman, because then again, even the marriage we're talking about, it's not for everyone. It doesn't mean that if you do not marry as a woman, you would not have fulfilled purpose, or you're not worthy.”

Pause and take a break, and then try to find new ways to advance. But retreating should never be an option.

Accept your pain, accept that bad things happened to you when they did. Being in denial doesn't help you resolve issues.

God gives the grace, but you have a part to play, which is why you need grit.

We get comfortable and say the grace of God abounds, but what you do with the grace of God is what produces results

We can be victims in a situation through no fault of ours. Life happens!

Everything you put your mind to, you can achieve.

Have a plan. Be strategic and be proactive.

There's a time for rest, but there's a time to put on your warrior suit and power through.
