The Power of a Thank you!!

-

😇Hello dear friends!!!

Today I am reflecting on the power of a thank you.

A thank you is something we rarely say. It’s not limited to those we know but to everyone all around us who extends generosity.

It’s coming close to a month since I launched The Gift of Education — a give back to 10 children coming from marginalized families or communities to enable them study at ease, without the pressure of wondering whether they will be sent back home because of school fees.

I want to say a big thank you to all the people who have given, those who know me and those who don’t.

My heart reflects a lot today on those who have not known me. I say thank you, thank you for choosing to support a cause you are passionate about, for being an extension of goodness.

I think about one question today: people giving or supporting beyond your name, your family’s name or any credential you carry.

And I am reminded that sometimes, God has already placed people somewhere to bring forth that which He has put in your heart or that which you desire to see come to life. People who may not know you, people you may never have met, but who will still choose to be part of what God is doing through you.

Perhaps, in this journey, I am learning that we don't always have to know the people through whom God will bring something to pass. Sometimes, we simply have to trust Him and keep showing up for what He has placed in our hearts.

May we never forget that God can place people in different places, with different abilities and resources, to bring forth something He has purposed.

And may we also be willing to be those people in someone else's story. ❤️

Springing Forth

Happy new month!!!   It’s such a joy to have you here. 🥰 Welcome to a new month—a new chapter, a new beginning. May you bask in the newness each day of this month carries and brings your way. But let me pause to ask you… What newness have you witnessed or experienced lately? What has God done — or continues to do — that you did not see or even imagine coming? But most importantly… Do you believe it will spring forth? Oh yes, I believe so. Isaiah 43:19 says: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” Sometimes the new thing begins quietly, it may seem small, ordinary and oftenly easy to overlook hmmm. Thinking big A seed of faith  A neighbor next door A finished meditation A small act of kindness A conversation. An opportunity. A meeting that never left you the same. A dream that refuses to die. A story waiting to be told. And before you know it — it springs forth.   So this month, may we pay close attention. May we notice and take jo...

The Power of One Good Act

-
Happy new week, friends. ❤️ This morning, I have been pondering on the power of one good act . Imagine if we all came together to good—with our time, our resources, our talents, and all the gifts the Lord has given us. We are all a blessing in unique ways. Sometimes we think we need to have  a lot to make a difference, yet perhaps it is simply about looking at what is already in our hands and asking, “What can I do with this?” A little time. A little kindness. A little encouragement. A skill. A resource. A door opened for someone else. Little things, when put together, can become something much bigger. Looking back, I am grateful for the opportunity to sit in a classroom — to learn, to dream and to imagine a future beyond where I was. I know that opportunity was made possible because someone, somewhere, showed up. And perhaps that is what giving back is about. Taking what we have received and extending it to someone else. Inspired by our  Friends Who Raised Us story series, w...
