Adamma's Blog

  I've been super busy with growing a business and managing my family- hence my short absence. But I am back for real! Today, my topic is a little bit personally inspired but one thing I've always promised you, my dear readers is to be totally honest and in the light of that, you learn and God alone be glorified. This blog is so personal and my desire is that the multitude come to christ via my words. My truth in ink. I am a dreamer and quite recently I added a DOER to my list. I dream of something? I begin to work towards it intentionally.  Now, there are times I get bored but the holy spirit has helped me to remain faithful to my garden even when I loose that first excitement that comes with a starting a new project or a love attraction. As I go through life, I realise that every season we go through is for a reason and notably to prepare us for something we prayed for or a season God so desires for us.  Again, I digress... to the topic at hand. Ten years ago, I applied...

When you search for the synonym of forgiveness you will find these words among others: reprieve, amnesty, mercy, exoneration, pardon and condoning.  Forgiveness does not always come so easily especially if someone you hold in high regard hurts you. Personally, forgiveness did not used to come to me easily. My default mode on dealing with betrayal and hurt was to run far away from the person or detach myself emotionally from the person. This solves nothing. Some people jump over it, ignore it or sweep it under the carpet and live in complete denial. Such people wake up one day and blow things out of proportion over a very small offence. They have been holding it all in and then one day, the proverbial "cup don full" happens! Some say they have forgiven but continue to talk about that betrayal or hurt every chance they get. Others NEVER forgive, this results in years and years of malice. Forgiveness is being aware that someone wronged you and granting them mercy or repr...

Happy new month!  I'm so excited that we have the gift of a new cycle. A time to start all over again, a time to go back to our mood board and restructure. How do you start your month? Do you just go into the month with no plan or direction  OR are you part of the lot that makes all the plans BUT few days into the new month, you're back into old habits. This used to be me.  It's almost impossible to drag our "flesh man" (our physical body) to do the right thing because it LOVES to be comfortable.  I've learned that if I want to see changes in my life, I have to do something differently. Especially positive changes. I remember this one time I had a business, just before I moved abroad temporarily and the sales were increasing almost daily! I struggled with consistency and this affected my business negatively. Today, I would post, interact with customers and do the right thing. Tomorrow? If I'm not feeling it, I just blank out. Whe...

The Dictionary defined insecurity as a lack of confidence in one's self.  Simply put, self doubt. I struggled with this for a long time growing up and I know I am an authority in this area. I can tell you how to deal with it and how to be completely free, all glory to God. Jesus worked some fine wonders in me and I am thankful! I use to struggle with insecurity in these areas: My weight. I've always been chubby and big boned. Growing up, I had people that would comment on this in jest. I hated it and I wanted to be so trim and perfect until the holyspirit dealt with it. I have the most beautiful figure, straight legs, hips and fat in the right places but because I fed their words into me as the truth... I TRIED to be someone else. I would exercise till my knees almost gave up. I would take weightloss pills. I would take detox teas. I spent alot of money... until Jesus took the wheel. - The holyspirit helped me through this. I learned to see my body thro...

When we get to the root of your heart, where does your hope reside? Who do you trust? A lot of times we put our hope in the wrong things and when it fails, we begin to question everything we believe in. I've been there. I remember one time, I was in a relationship and I totally replaced my partner (at the time) with God's place in my life. In short, I fixed my eyes on this guy and his ability to handle everything. I remember I started about four businesses and made life defining decisions, not because I had prayed about it and trusted that God was in control but because I trusted this guy. He was a highly efficient guy. I remember during our short relationship, one time I was having my covenant time, the lord asked me to leave him and I refused. Long story short, he left me with no explanation whatsoever and I was left to handle everything by myself! Tough few weeks of my life because my total dependency was on him. When I got down to prayer, the lord showed...

It took me a while to come up with a title for this post. Truth is, I didnt even have a title, I just started writing what came to mind. I love writing and I'm all about consistency but I needed to take this time out to figure out why I decided to own a blog and what the true purpose was, which explains why I've been off the radar for five months. I finally figured it out. I'm passionate about a lot of things. Some of which are, ''family, skincare, love, relationships, work and health'' and I will be writting about these things but I want my life, my experiences, my truths and failures cut across these mentioned subjects to help someone out there. Sometimes, I look back on my 20year old self and I would have prefered I had a memo that would have guided me better but this blog wouldn't be in exsistence if that were the case. I have also found that while I am still in my 20s, I still need a memo and soon enough because I will be in my 30s in about 3yea...

Happy glorious NEW YEAR! It has been almost a full year I have written anything and I will be totally honest with you all! I have struggled for the past year with consistency but this is over, all glory to God. So this year, I decided that I would intentionally finish whatever projects that I start and this is one of them. I started this blog to talk about skincare, relationships,travel,life and how it affects us financially, emotionally, spiritually and mentally and to share my very candid thoughts about almost everything. I want to build a community of kind loving people and most importantly share my love for christ. I honestly believe that our world today makes the word of God or our faith in Jesus seem like one big boring journey, but its not! And I hope to show it to the world with my ink and my truth. The year has started and a lot of us would have scribbled down what we want to achieve and how well we want to do, definitely much better than last year. so Today, I will be t...
