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 ������

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...

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...

Walking with God daily

I woke one morning and was dismayed by what greeted me; ungratefulness. Shoot! I am late for my class, AGAIN! I set the alarm though, what happened? If I shower for 2 minutes then I just might make it, I thought. Then I remembered we do not have hot water and its winter. It is not exactly the season to shower with cold water this early in the morning. Okay now I was frustrated. I was frustrated at how late I was and even the mere thought of knowing I might not get a good seat in a class that does not have enough room to swing a cat. Man was I frustrated. And if that wasn’t enough, there was a possibility of a surprise quiz so there was no way I could miss class. All this time, I did not say one word to God. I didn’t thank Him for this day He has blessed me with or better yet, ask for His peace. Why haven’t I? At that moment, I am of the mindset that I have the right to this day and that it is not a gift. In fact, I felt like I was the victim. I felt like nothing was going my way a...
