Speak to God


 
Spiritual work and a spiritual life are unspoken and unnoticed daily activities known to man. You might say to me - but that's obvious. But because of the space we find ourselves in, other things take precedence over our spiritual time. We find people priding themselves in the work ethic and how much they have built, good as that is one can neglect the spiritual growth needed to enjoy the finer things in life. In order to have a fulfilled life your spirit has to be a happy one. A person on their deathbed will always express the importance of enjoying life, they hardly mention the need for money and assets as they slip onto the other side.

People may even say spiritual activities are designated for certain people. However, connections with God are not always smooth sailing. This is because there are multiple ways that your spirit might connect with God. Questions I have for you are, are you aware of how to connect with God? Do you know that there might be several ways that you can connect with God? And lastly if you do know, do you give those spaces time to mature?

I've been thinking long and hard about the time designated to fixing the spirit. Does your spirit have time out throughout the day or week to be taken care of. Do we groom this space, do we give it time? With the wake of Covid-19 we’ve had some time where fear crept in and we found ourselves asking what's going to happen to me? Stilling your weary and heavy thoughts becomes hard. Our Mental and Spiritual spheres of life need the time and space to be nurtured. 

Time with God is vital but God's timing is nothing we will ever get to fully comprehend.The answers we seek only come when he is ready to answer not when we are desperate and in need of a response. And because a spiritual lifestyle takes time, you won't find the answers as quickly as you would like. You see, the time God sticks to is not as clear as our Gregorian calendar.  For you to pitch up for that appointment you would need an abundance of faith and patience. So I would encourage you to find out how God speaks to you and give it extra time than normal before giving up. 

Figure out how the spirit speaks to you. Then find a calm way of how you will request the spirit to avail itself to you. And mostly apply the notion that God doesn't use your timing but instead has his/her own timing. What we all need to be aware of is that it's not easy. Any relationship is not easy. It is about give and take. Give your God time to speak to you and replenish you.

The bond that liberates

There are relationships that will always remain close and dear to your heart. These are such trusted and loving relationships. I’ve always remained teachable in relationships I find myself in. I find the soul being elevated in the sight of authentic and realistic relationships. Where there is little to no reservation, bearing in mind I’m speaking about real relationships, not the kind where you  just kickin it . I’ve dated two men who have seen me as not just a woman in their lives but also a sister. Now we generally use these terms so loosely however as Africans we are relatively still in tune to our real African roots. We still look into the soulful spaces of the relationship we are in, it's how we excel in respect. I notice that resonating often in our lives. But I digress. The validation of the sister/ brotherhood in a relationship is almost as befitting as a gold star rating in your role as that person’s partner. Let me explain. When one can honestly feel at home in...

Muted Men

It all started with a tweet from a lady I respect and admire @KirtyBisset (Nov.16) that read, “Shout out to the fragile men.” I then replied to her saying that her tweet speaks to me my heart and that I wanted to write a blog about this very thing and she encouraged m e to go on and do it. I’ve been wanting to speak about the silencing, disrespect and abuse of men and how this has been ignored for far too long. My final wakeup call was when I realised that gender violence doesn’t really have a preference to which gender it will choose, it just violates. I have been reading up on this for years and my interest comes from a multitude of seen and heard stories amongst people I know. I know men who have been assaulted by women whom they had trusted and loved. I have watched women in my family abuse men physically or verbally. I have seen this reaction come out of anger and I have seen it come from pure malicious intent of trying to provoke a man just to see how far they can go. My...
