Introduction; Who am I?

Hi guys! My name is Leena and welcome to my blog!

Right, so back to the question: Who am I? Wow, this is probably the hardest question ever. It always blows my mind when I think of how our minds cannot seem to construct a simple sentence that, in a nutshell, describes our very own personality and what it is that we bring to the table. I cannot think of a single word much less formulate an entire sentence.

I suck at introductions, there I said it! For some reason which I do not know, a question such as this always catches me off guard but I will tell you what I know.

Yes, I am who I am. I know that but that does not exactly answer your question, does it? I find this question very hard to answer mainly because I believe it is impossible to describe yourself in a couple of words. I feel like no words can really do justice.
I am just a girl. A girl learning how to survive in a cruel world. A girl trying not to let the weight of the world drag her down at her feet so much so that she becomes hopeless and dares not to get back up. I am just a girl who is trying so hard to catch sight of the beauty on the outside. That should not be so hard because beauty is dormant within me, right?
I lay my head down and think of all that I have been through. Am I my past? Am I my hurt? My disappointments, maybe? No, but my past does have an influence on the person that I am today. I know that all that I have been through and what I chose to remain perseverant for has led to my character. I also know that you are utterly mistaken if you believe that your mistake makes you a mistake.

I once read a really amazing book called Understanding your Potential by the late Dr Myles Munroe (Shout out to my friend Tasha for letting me read this book. You are the real MVP!) in which he says "Who you are is related to where you come from" and it made me think. I come from God so that means I am of God, right?
See, this made me realize that my identity lies in Christ. I am who God says I am. Its not been an easy realization to come to terms with because for some reason, I believed what society tells me about who I am instead of God. It's a journey but I try not to listen to the society's opinions about who I am unless of course, its a good thing! Lol.

Guys, I cannot put in words the person that I truly am but what I do know is that I am consciously on this journey of self identification and I must say, SO FAR SO GOOD.

For me, getting to know myself is getting to know God. What about YOU? WHO ARE YOU?

    Rare description. Common minded person would tackle it off from their family grounds to academics. But you have rather chosen to express you in a divergent lane.Good start ������

Let Your Light Shine Bright

So I was looking at my past pictures and I have to say, I cannot believe how much I have grown. By that, I don’t simply mean physically but spiritually as well. It is funny but I see the growth in my pictures. I am not the same girl anymore. I am not the same person I was 10 or even 5 years ago. Heck, I am not even the same person I was last year! I am no longer the girl who was barely surviving, hanging on simply because I have to. No! Now I hang on knowing exactly WHY. I have a purpose. I have a reason for living. If I was not needed, God would not have created me. But HE DID. Oh, yes He did. He did it all, INTENTIONALLY, on purpose-fully aware. That is why I hang on-because I am not done yet and the good Lord is not done with me either. God is intentional, and there’s never a time where He’s unsure of the ones who He’s called. NEVER. As I look at my old pictures, I see a lost, confused soul led by her carnal desires (which are so deadly), prowling and yearning for approval. ...

A Letter to Scarlet Scarlet was a bright girl. To some, it seemed as though she had it altogether. Her smile looked like it cure diseases. Her presence was so vibrant that people wondered how she did it. 'Where is she from?', they would ask. Little did they know all that was behind her smile. Behind the beautiful smile, lay hidden brokenness, heartaches and parts of her she was not sure how to express or to whom. She wasn't perfect but she made herself out to be. Yep, she done played herself. She would go home at night and cry herself to sleep. She wasn't happy but she played the part so well, so well that she began believing it. Yes, she was a nice person, but that's all she had going for her. Then one day, she heard about a God who can heal. She doubted it because her entire lifetime, everyone who said would heal her never could. Heck, she didn't even know what she needed healing from. Oh Scarlet. So lost. So broken. Never really knowing, or bette...

True Love is Worth the Wait

If you are like me, then you probably believe in true love stories and the idea that there is someone who was created specifically for you. I love everything that has to do with rose petals and bright smiles and colours and happy endings! In this world we live in, however, people don’t believe that love exists. The sad truth though is that people are getting into relationships, not because of love, but because of lust. Also, I feel that sometimes they don’t open their hearts because everybody is afraid of being hurt. With all these reasons, no one is then willing to wait on true love.  We have become so impatient to wait for our God ordained partners. “Waiting is such a drag!” or “YOLO”, they say. While it is true that you only have this one chance on earth, I feel that this phrase is used recklessly. You need to be careful about what you do today because today’s choices affects tomorrow’s outcome, just so you know. Teach yourself not to settle for less than what you deser...
