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 ������

HOPE

‘I am leaving’, he said. Her body immediately began to tremble, and trying not to drown in a pool of tears, she manages to utter the words, ‘What do you mean?’. She’s afraid of what he might say and honestly, she knows exactly what he means. Without hesitation and much care, he responds in a harsh tone, ‘What do you mean what do I mean? I am leaving YOU! Geez. You don’t understand English now?” She began to cry and immediately goes down on her knees. ‘William please’, she begged, ‘we can make it work. I will try harder, I promise. Please don’t leave me, please.’ He pushed her out of the way and heads to the bedroom. She runs after him, still begging. To be healed To be loved To be appreciated This is all she wants, it’s all she’s ever wanted. Many came, promised her the world. More left. It was always one thing or the other. It’s either ‘She was too good’ or that ‘She wasn’t enough’ And now she’s with a man, who beats her but she tolerates it because well, at least...

GET TO KNOW ME TAG

Wasssuuuup guys! So the other day I discovered a really cool blogger. Her name is Taimi Taaya. You guys should check her out, she’s amazing. Anyway, she did a “Get to know me tag” which I thought was interesting and important as it allows me to engage with my readers. I present to you the GET TO KNOW ME TAG. Q: What is my name and what does it mean? A: My name is Leena Franscisco. I wasn’t really sure about the meaning of Leena so I had to look it up and I found that it means a ‘divine illumination’. How cool is that? My middle name is Pombili, which is in my native language-Oshiwambo, and it can be translated as ‘being at peace’. I used to hate the name Pombili though because I have a male cousin with the exact same name and I just felt like it was a name for boys, lol.   Q: Where am I from? A: I was born and raised in Tsumeb, Namibia. Tsumeb is such a beautiful town. If you have never been there please make time to come check it out.   Q: What are...

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. ...
