It’s Fridayyy, feel free to take a break, feel free to turn off your phone, feel free to have a weekend without a plan and not feel guilty about it. • Sometimes these things are necessary. Just a little caution to remember to take out time to retreat and prepare for the coming year. • The bible tells us to write the vision down and make it plain. We unconsciously commit to things we write down, so please make sure to go into retreat with a paper and pen. Seal it with prayer and trust God through the year! • #Fochwoman #friyay #weekend #retreat #EndOfYear

Be careful that you’re not covering fear with ‘being cautious’. Our minds can be smart on us sometimes, it convinces us that something is not what it is just so we can stay in that comfortable space. • One of the biggest sign of maturity is being able to challenge your own thoughts and thinking. Your mind tells you to be cautious about something or someone, question your mind back? “What’s the reason I’m being cautious of this person or thing?” Is it their mannerisms, their look or just sentiments that I might hold within me. • We need to know that we’re not always right, our views aren’t always the best and our understanding can sometimes be deficient, so when you find yourself being cautious of doing or saying something, I Challenge you to challenge that thought. • Fear comes in different shapes and sizes but it doesn’t change what it is. • #fochwoman #fear #cautious #camouflage

Today’s question hit home really hard for me. I’ve been accused in my life of having and nurturing cliques when all I’ve done is attempt to protect my friendship circle. Recently on twitter, I’ve noticed same, groups of friends who’ve got each other’s backs, constantly accused of keeping cliques and shutting people out. • The response from most people is “that’s their business and I don’t care”, but I thought to myself that there has to be a better way around this, and by this, I mean a godly way around it. I’ve attempted to summarise it in this post as the Holy Spirit helped me understand. • If most people are like me, friendship isn’t something you throw about, it’s something you’re intentional and conscious of. Part of its intentionality is protection. Protection includes having the back of your friends, standing up for them in their absence, and sometimes, it’ll also involve speaking up for them truthfully when they’re unable to. With time and trust, this bond solidifies and the same bond you share with one person might be thicker than the one you share with the next. But that I’m bonded to this person stronger, doesn’t mean that the other person needs to feel l don’t rate them or have left them out (which is what most of us do), they just need to know that the stronger bond has earned trust over time. • So how can we protect our friendships without seeming ‘cliquy’? - See everyone as Jesus would, some of us cancel people on first sight based on sentiments we hold in our hearts without even realising it - In bigger gatherings, be intentional about breaking away from known people and meeting new faces - Be careful of gossip, What mostly bonds cliques is gossip. They have info about others that no one else has - Don’t shut people out without getting to know them, we rule over our personalities, not the other way around • It’s nothing forced at all or mechanical, it’s just something you’ll have to be conscious of to overcome. • So here’s a summary; be your brothers keeper without ignoring your neighbour. I pray God helps us be sincere in our relationships with friends and also with strangers. • #fochwoman #friendships #cliques #questionansweringfriday

You know, the most interesting thing about the Hebrew boys who were thrown into the furnace wasn’t that they didn’t burn when there, it wasn’t also their confidence in speaking to the king. It was actually their resolve to die if God decided not to intervene in their situation. • The Hebrew boys acknowledged God’s ability, they told the king “we know our God can save us, we have no doubt in that”. • But they didn’t stop there, they also went further and admitted and acknowledged his sovereignty to save them. They said “even if He decides not to save us...” • It’s one thing to know God can, it’s another to accept that His decision to can is completely up to Him. Majority of us stop in knowing He can, we don’t reach the place of accepting that if He decides against, we’ll still be fine with it. • There’s a level of surrender we reach that it’s not about what we want, it’s completely what God wants regardless of how we feel about it. I pray we move a step closer to this level of surrender today. ❤️ • #fochwoman #God #love #ability #sovereignty #surrender

God’s love for us is so calm, And it’s hard for me to explain this, But the love between us should be calm as well, in our relationships and friendships, there should be calmness, love that is troubled and anxious might not be love. #fochwoman #calm #love #evaluate

Earlier this week someone sent this in, later on in the week, I got a repeat and so it made it here for #questionansweringfriday . I started by saying that if someone allowed something it also means they consented to it. So I didn’t think the question was framed right because that wasn’t the case all the time. It isn’t every time that someone died that God allowed, even though it didn’t happen without His knowledge. • There’s a saying that is inferred from a lot of scriptures in the bible, it says “anything God didn’t stop in His power, He allowed in His wisdom”. This includes death. • Death is something that we’ll have to come to terms with being passerby’s on this earth, and even though it is inevitable it’s still key to note that there’s an assigned time to everyone here and so it happens sometimes that people die well before their appointed time. • There are several reasons for this and I’ll talk extensively on them in the blogpost but what we need to know now is that God conquered death and even if we physically die, we’re just going further to face judgement of where we’ll spend eternity. • As we grow, painful as it’ll be most times, rather than question death, we’ll trust God’s wisdom and decision to take people, particularly if they die in Christ. • In relation to this, we should know that There’s also certain advantages that comes with the presence of God, One of such is discernment and another is divine protection. • We don’t know the kind of things God protects us from, for bother believers and unbelievers, but with believers, because of the Holy Spirit in you, most times you’re guided against being in certain places and so are saved from the harm that could be there. • But ultimately, death was conquered when Jesus died and rose, that’s why for a believer, we say people have slept and not necessarily died. • Being human, we’ll also experience the emotions of someone’s demise but we can find comfort and peace in God always. • Live everyday like it’s your last ❤️ • #fochwoman #questionansweringfriday #death

Despite all the wins, losses, achievements, disappointments and all, you should know you’re doing great. • I woke up on Tuesday this week and I remember laying in bed lazily, I didn’t have a plan for the day so I stayed, twisting and turning and I heard God Spirit say “you woke up this morning for a purpose”. • I was so startled but I allowed my heart and mind follow this conversation and He helped me understand that any day I see has been given for a purpose. • Every day we exist in is all the message we need to know God has a plan and purpose for us for that day. If we didn’t wake up, it would mean our time here was up • So here’s to purposeful and intentional living. Waking up each day and boldly asking the father “what He’ll have us do today!” • Happy Friday!!! Have a lovely weekend!❤️ #fochwoman #purposeful #intentional

A rolling stone never gathers any moss. Moss takes time to grow so it requires a static body to fully form. • There’s a reason why we advocate “keep moving” on Foch woman, regardless of how you feel and what it seems like, you’ve got to keep going. • The more you stay static, the more doubts creep up and the more demotivated you get. It’s important that there’s a direction and each day, there’s movement in that direction. • Let’s be intentional about our movement this week, in all our plans, aspirations and desires. One obstacle shouldn’t deter you. Whatever you do, just keep moving. • God’s grace remains sufficient for us all❤️ • #fochwoman #movement #rollingstones #StayMotivated

Complete Woman

I don’t know about you but I have always prayed to God to make me the woman after His heart.
Have you ever imagined how David felt?
Well I have and I figured I wanted to feel that way.
We’re on that journey now to becoming the women after God’s heart.

We’re not attempting to earn a spot, we have a spot already, we’re living purposely to look like the thoughts God had before creating us.
