Dear Uju

Restored in His Love, Sent for His Glory Thank You Mighty Father for the gift of Your Presence, for restoration only You can bring in and through me. As Jackie Chan said in Karate Kid: Legends:
 “You cannot control when life knocks you down. But you can control when you get back up.” Thank You, Lord God, for the restoration of my soul in this time. On my way home, I’m excited to see my…

Walking with God After Unexpected Grief and Loss Where to Start? Life has a way of doing its thing, and then sorrow comes knocking. Grief can stop you in your tracks and reshape life as you know it. On July 15, 2025, I came home from work and received the devastating news that my only brother had passed away. He was just 37 years old. I will be 39 in a couple of months. In that moment, I knew…

I cannot believe the book is now live on Amazon. I AM OFFENDED (BOOK) LINKLord, I am in awe of Your goodness throughout this process. I couldn’t have done any of it without You. May it reach its intended audience, those You have already prepared to receive it. Phew.What a feat. From the prayers that it be intercepted if I was on the wrong path…To wondering if this was the right direction.Asking…

Ujunwa Child of abundance. A child born “in the midst of plenty.” Funny and sad how I didn’t like my name growing up. Ujunwa. Uju. Kids made fun of me by adding a “J” in front of my shortened name, so as soon as I could, I adopted my middle name Cynthia. “Uju” means abundance… fullness. And yet, for so long, I lived as though I was lacking.
Always seeking.
Trying to fill the void with…

God loves you as you are, but I know He loves you too much to leave you where you are. Trust in HIS process. Do not lean on your own understanding. Allow Him to straighten your path.

I’ve been meditating on Jesus’s prayer in John 17:16-17: “They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” Being human on this earth can feel exhausting—honestly, I’m tired of being tired! Lately, I’ve been reflecting on moments when I was caught up rushing to meet endless expectations, juggling too much, and feeling crushed under an…

I am excited to share this new post with you! Can you believe we are halfway through the year 2024. What a feat! I originally started drafting this post in March, but could not get around to wrapping it up. I am looking forward to celebrating all the beautiful milestones and bountiful harvests that the rest of 2024 will still bring. I am in awe of the goodness of God. Thank You Lord!…

Did you know that Anger is mentioned over 500 times in the bible? It’s an emotion that God expresses. The bible does warn us not to sin in our anger or allow it to fester, but it’s an emotion that we can express and it is not a sin to do so. But how to do deal with your anger? Are you more expressive? Or do you tend to bottle it up like me and express it in other ways? And then, how do you deal…

Thank You Mighty Father for Your Amazing grace. Lord where would I be without You. Thank You for being a constant in my life and world. I love You. Thank You for everything You have walked me through from my birth to this day. I am so grateful for your love. In Jesus Name, Amen. I’ve missed writing. I’ve had tons of thoughts and things that I have wanted to share, but haven’t gotten around to…

Mighty Father, thank You for the gift of Your love and presence. Thank You Lord that Your mercies are new each day. Thank You for Your Amazing Grace and patience, correction and redirection. Thank You for Your consistency. Thank You Father that all that I am and am becoming is because of Who You are. Thank You for meeting me where I am every time and for lovingly leading me through it. I could…

Yo! Life has a way of throwing us curve balls we aren’t expecting. I’ve been challenged a lot with wanting to defend myself. I think I’ve struggled very badly with this because sometimes I think maybe if I just explained myself better the other person would see reason (from my perspective). Maybe if I just patiently lay down the facts, there’ll be grace, compassion or remorse. Maybe if I just…

Hello there people of God ❤. Today’s post has been on my heart for a few days now. It’s a bible chapter you may know very well. I am praying it over my life and you could do the same too. I will be writing mainly in the NLT translation, but may incorporate other versions as well. The Lord is my Shepherd (He is my best friend, my provider, my protector, my strength, my hope, my guide); I have all…

Healthy and glorious New Month people of God! Yay I’m back to writing😊, I’ve been thinking it’s time to lay down some words (on internet, not paper… get it 🤣). I had my idea for my next post ready to go, but in prayer yesterday evening, I was overcome and started declaring a few things over myself. That’s where I got this post. How many of us forget what’s ours when we get challenged in…

I cannot believe I’ve been away for this long. I met up with my friend tonight and I couldn’t help feeling that it was time to get back to writing. Thanks P for the encouragement I really appreciate it and may have needed it more than I realized. 🙂 For over 2 months I’ve been sitting on this post. It’s nothing profound, but I think a part of me didn’t want to revisit the old “negative” feelings.…

Happy New Month people of God. I cannot believe I’ve avoided blogging for over a month. Dropped the balls on my goals for the year, but honestly I am totally okay with it. I have actually been spending a lot of time just living and processing my thoughts. This past couple month I have uncovered that I have to acknowledge my feelings and experience them. That has been a process. My past approach…

Sometimes people may say things like “I don’t even think about you” or “you are not on my mind,” and that is okay. We cannot expect people to be considerate of us or keep us on their minds or hearts all the time. We need to reassess our hearts if we allow the way people treat us affect how we respond to them. I do. Yes. I do think about you and when I do, I may reach out to say hello or check…

I must admit I have slacked off a bit on my writing this month. I have written a few drafts, but never got around to wrapping things up to post it. So definitely going to be playing catch up to get 2 posts in before the end of February 🙂 For the last 2 weeks of February, I initiated a love “fitness” challenge with some of my Christ sisters. This exercise has caused me to be more intentional…
