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 my favourite things about myself?

A: Most people would say I am a shy person but I don’t think so. I am reserved and usually don’t speak without thinking first. This has worked to my advantage many at times. When it comes to my physical appearance, I love my smile. I believe that there is so much power in a smile and we don’t realize the magnitude of what a smile does to or for somebody. Because of that, I try to genuinely smile at strangers because that may be the only thing that will uplift them on that specific day. Try it, and let’s give the world hope one smile at a time.

 

Q:  What is an ideal first date to me?

A: Uhm, dinner on a yacht. Just kidding! I am not really big on dramatic first dates but I mean, some type of effort would be appreciated. For me it’s really all about authenticity. Whatever we do, wherever we go, BE YOU and I will try to be me. HAHA.

 

Q: Favourite book?

A: I have read quite a couple of books but there’s this one that changed my life. Understanding your Potential by the late Dr Myles Munroe. I cannot wait to see him so I thank him for this book, seriously. I love Joseph Prince’ books as well. He teaches on grace. His books are amazing!

 

Q: Who was my first best friend?

A: A nice white girl in grade 1 but I forgot her name, lol. So I’ll talk about my next best friend. It was during the holiday and we used to text each other every single day just talking about random things. I liked her. So I texted her: “We r bst frnds nw”. We’ve been besties since.

 

Q: What sports do I play or have I played?

A: I don’t really like this question. I played Netball when I was in primary up until all my classmates grew way taller than me.
 
Q: Do I have any bad habits?
A: No. Just kidding! I play too much. I would say that my most unattractive habit would be texting back. I am such a terrible person to chat with. I do not reply for absolutely no reason and I promise you, it is not even intentional. But I am working on it :)
 
Q: Favourite song?
A: I love music so this is a very hard question for me. I especially love worship music. I have so many favourites, honestly, but there's an album that is in season for me right now and that's Tasha Cobbs-Leonard's latest album. Oh my goodness guys, please check her out. Also, I am loving Tauren Wells right now too. You GOTTA check him out too
 
Q: What makes me happy?
A: Seeing people smile. I don't even have to be the reason. I get really emotional too when people get saved-when they give their lives to Christ. It is literally the most fulfilling thing to me because there is only so much you can do for someone but Jesus. Jesus does it all man.
Alright, that's it from me. If you have any more questions, comment down below and you can also share with me, by answering some of these questions too. Thanks for taking the time to read these posts. I truly appreciate it! God bless you.

    I think you have a very RICH inner life that probably doesn't find much expression in "real" life but I guess this blog will attempt to serve that cause.

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...
