How are you? Is it me or has It been such a LONG week. Like, this week felt like TEN days not seven. Bruh!
Anyway, we made it to Saturday, so yay! Because, not to be dark, this year is giving “survival” for some reason. A lot of people just seem to be ”weathering” something or the other. From work to family, to health, it feel’s like there’s a lot going on. Even if our curated Instagram feeds say otherwise, shit is haaaard out here.
But as a true African mother, I have to say….
Even though times are tough, we still have a lot to be grateful for. A lot. So we’ll celebrate that. 🥳
Okay now back to the point of today’s newsletter.
LOL! Ok maybe this message is just for me but hear me out…I am tired of begging. Tired. I feel like I am always begging for things I deserve. Things I have worked for. Things I have faith about. and this week God reminded me (seriously I’m not even joking) that I need to just stop begging. If I claim to have faith that when I ask for something it will be done, then why am I still begging? If I know I have done the work and I deserve the accolades and respect, then why am I still begging? Y’all it’s time to stop begging. We’ve done our own. We’ve earned our place. Please, it’s enough! Stop begging for crumbs.
Now, I'm not saying we should stop begging entirely o. If you’ve messed up and have to beg for forgiveness, my dear, beg! To err is human, to forgive is delilah. Or whatever the saying is. lol!
But when it comes to our dreams, our goals, our prayers - it's time to put our faith into action.
This month and in this very moment, I am no longer begging for opportunities, for recognition, for validation. It's time for me to trust that I am enough, that I have done enough. I am not begging for a seat on any table anymore. That one is in the past. I’ll let my God do the rest.
So, if you are feeling the same way, It’s enough, stop begging, start trusting. Trust that you are capable, that you are deserving, that you are enough. Trust that what's meant for you will find its way to you, no matter what.
Lol sorry today’s newsletter was a little preachy, I’ll get back to sharing cute and cuddly things next week. Have an amazing weekend!
