Friday was officially my last day in high school. I can still remember my first day of high school like it was yesterday. I was a shy, chubby-cheeked girl who always kept to herself, until I made friends and became familiar with the environment of course. Since then I have grown and I am still growing into the young woman God wants me to be.

This year is coming to an end soon and that means the time for me to write my final exams is drawing near.
In preparation for my final exams I have been meditating on a lot of scriptures to help me keep calm through this time.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”  (James 1:5 NIV)


“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.  Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”  (Hebrews 12:11 NIV)

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  (Philippians 4:13)

“’For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?’  But we have the mind of Christ.”  (First Corinthians 2:16 NIV)

I would like to wish all the matriculants of 2016 the best for their finals. Keep your head high, stay focused and remember that God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind.

Now that I'm preparing for my exams I will be a bit quiet on the blog and social networks. But I will try my best to keep you all posted.


Remember God loves you and so do I.

 Ever since the school term began I haven't had an opportunity to set aside some 'me' time, which also means I haven't had a chance to keep up with you, my readers. A lot has been going on with me lately but with Christ strengthening me I have been managing quite well.  

It seems as if the more you grow up the more life has to throw at you and it all depends on what you make out of it. I miss being a little girl and not having to worry about things like matriculating, distinctions, finals, future aspects, degrees and bursaries. I miss eating leaves, playing in mud and not caring about what others think about me. Unfortunately growing up is not a choice, everyone has to go through it eventually. 

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

Psalm 37 verse 7 (NLT)

"Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for Him to act."

 Remember God loves you and so do I.

So 2015 is coming to an end and I have been reflecting on the type of year I had.  This year was similar to being on a roller coaster ride for the first time. I went through this year without resolutions or goals (as I prefer to say), which explains why it was quite a bumpy ride. I didn't know what to expect. I just went with the flow, I just winged it.



The good that happened in 2015 is that my school year went quite well. I received honors in Academics and achieved great results that I'm proud of, so matric 2016 here I come. I was also blessed with the opportunity to be a prefect at Amanzimtoti High School.

During this year I developed close friendships with wonderful people who  helped me learn and discover a few things about them and myself and I thank God for them.


My church, Higher Life Church International is also growing and we hosted our first conference this December and by the grace of God everything went well.



I am still going through the process of becoming the God Girl that God wants me to be. And it has been a difficult process during the year of 2015. My relationship with Christ was a bit shaky throughout this year as I didn't make it my number 1 priority the way I'm supposed to. I always felt incomplete,  like something was missing,  a sense of emptiness. I used to always feel guilty or condemned for not reading my bible enough or not spending enough quiet time with God. But lately I realised that regardless of what I do or don't do He still thinks about me and loves me unconditionally because of His beautiful grace.



"No matter what I've done
No matter where I've been
No matter how I fall
You pick me up again
You have removed my shame
You take me as I am
You call me justified
Now I am covered by your grace"

I can say that throughout 2015 I have been showered with the grace of God in every area of my life and that is why I am still standing.




With 2016 approaching I will take with me the lessons I have learnt throughout 2015 and I will definitely write up goals that will help guide me throughout the following year.

In 2016, my best is yet to come.



Remember God loves you and so do I.

Christ, family, church, school, grade 11, exams, food, studying, notes, Oreos, formulas, future choices, love, coffee, decisions, desires, dreams. ''Aich, too much to deal with.''

Don't we all feel overworked and overwhelmed by life at some point? Well I guess I'm just growing up. John 15 verses 4 and 5 say that we cannot be fruitful and progressive unless we remain in Christ and apart from Him we can do nothing. Trying to handle everything that life throws at you with your own might ain't that easy, trust. I've learnt that involving Christ in all that you do will cause you to be fruitful, happy AND at peace.
