In the cold of the tunnel, I trembled in fear,
Not knowing, he was already near.
He held me close and whispered, “Be still,”
“I will fight for you. I always will.”
He broke my chains and lifted my head,
Turning darkness into light ahead.
“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” — Psalm 23:4
I sought for peace in restless days,
In shadows thick with fear,
And silence held me tight,
But now I’ve found this sacred gift.
In the stillness of my soul,
A mantle of unshakable calm,
Through storms, it holds me true,
An anchor in life’s tempest waves.
This peace that passes human thought,
A gift from heaven’s hand,
In gentle, quiet flowing,
In God’s sweet grace, I stand.
John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Fear, a fundamental human emotion, has been part of my life’s journey at some stage. It’s a sensation we all encounter frequently. Whether it’s fear of the unknown, fear of failure, or fear of rejection, it can often hold us back from living our lives to the fullest. However, we have a powerful source of strength and courage to draw upon.
We can find strength, fortitude, and peace to overcome fear by anchoring ourselves in the truth of God’s Word. Psalm 27:1 reminds us, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”
In shadows deep, fear creeps into my soul,
My heart grows heavy, and I weep,
But lo, a light, a hope so near,
Guiding me through the dark.
For God has said,
“Fear not, for I am with you.”
With strength renewed, my fears I face,
In His embrace, I find courage.
Though fear may knock on my door,
It cannot hold me down,
I break through walls of fear,
And tremble no more.

I know how it feels to be rejected. It’s like a sudden stab, sharp and intense, making you want to close your eyes and shut the world out. I’ve been turned down countless times in life—relationships, education, friendships… You name it. It wasn’t that people hated me, but life has a way of shaping us, pushing us through trials to become stronger, independent, and the people we are meant to be.
Rejection is something we all face, no matter how much we try to avoid it. It often leaves us asking, “Why me?” We feel it when we underestimate ourselves, set unrealistic expectations for others, or fear criticism. These feelings are normal—but when rejection becomes a constant cycle, it can be harmful. Nobody is perfect, but we all have the opportunity to accept guidance and grow.
Overcoming rejection is one of the hardest lessons, yet I’ve conquered it. And there’s no turning back. In its place, I’ve found freedom of expression, confidence in love, a magnetic charisma that attracts genuine people, and success that feels deeply earned. Rejection no longer defines me—it refines me.
To overcome rejection, define who you truly are and refuse to be shaken by it.
Caring about what people think of you is useless.
Most people don’t even know what they think of themselves.

Hello lovely people.
This is my very first blog post on WordPress which I posted on the 13th of April 2016, I had no idea what to expect but I kept blogging because my spirit kept haunting me for words to come out.
Kindly read!!
This is a question we all ask ourselves frequently. Recognizing who we are, signifies that we are ready to move on to the next level, quite a number of people ask themselves this question at almost every stage of their life. This brings home to us that people who ask this question are generally struggling with their personality and are searching for a core sense of themselves.
When I was in high school, I constantly used to ask myself the same question until a friend in the choir group noticed my dismay which led her into counselling me to stop RUNNING away from my SHADOW, I actually didn’t know what she was talking about until ten years later, I finally had to make a bold stop to face my shadow…the darker part of myself….fear of failure.
Now I know who I am, I have learnt to welcome and embrace the darker part of myself, my flaws, bad habits, negative emotions, FEAR OF FAILURE…Once you have discovered the light, there is a new sense of self-waiting to be born, this is the time you get to realize there is more to who you are with a whole lot of potentials you have that needs to be exploited….
