Today's post is basically a rant. There are dreamers- people with all the ideas and then there are doers. Dreamers are plentyyy, have all the good ideas, have researched it but never do anything. At the end of the day it's the doers that win. It is the people bold enough to walk on water. Those who regardless of their fears step out and do. I'm tired of hearing people talk about their plans, I actually want to see people who do their plans. Wait, let me rephrase that, I'm tir

I had a couple of errands to run in Accra but working a full time job in the Ashanti Region made that quite challenging. I had no other option than to turn to friends. I was amazed by the level of openness they had about my program. Those who couldn't make it because of  genuine reasons always checked in to see whether I had found someone else to do it for me. I work in healthcare and it's an exhausting sector, we usually spend our day offs preparing for the next shift but th

Hello fam, how's everyone doing? I asked my friend Maria to share some lessons she has learnt so far with me some months back. Well, what better time to share those lessons than this time of the year. Hope this blesses you as much as it did to me. On faith I wish I knew how the Holy Spirit communicated to me very early in my christian journey. I’m very certain now more than ever that he’s always been talking but I never heard or listened. Most of the time,it was a still smal

Ever wondered whoever came up with the concept of a year. Like whose idea was it to segregate the days into years? We could have just been living our lives everyday, getting older but without an accurate measure of how time is flying. The concept of a year is a very wise one in my opinion; a good indicator of how fleeting time is. Instead of dreading the passage of time and irreversible aging, why don't we take responsibility and make good use of it. Why don't we learn from p

I remember a phenomenon called positive feedback mechanism I learnt in 2nd year physiology class. In simple terms, it is when the presence of one activity instigates the production of a hormone, in turn that hormone keeps the activity running. So it's kinda like a loop. If A is present, it stimulates the production of B. For instance it's going to be a bit technical but stay with me, when a mom gives birth, a hormone called oxytocin is produced. This hormone is responsible fo

The Bible from Genesis to Revelation tells a single story of how God saved mankind. Throughout the Bible we see God for tell His redemption plan through types and shadows or straight up word for word prophecies.  Let's take a look at some of them today. 🎄 Genesis 3:15 NIV [15] And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” This was right after we had messed up and before being kick

Mr. chairman, panel of judges, accurate time keeper, I stand here to make a case for Christmas joy. My aim is to make it a distinct feature separate from whatever man-made Christmas traditions we have built. Christmas joy here is basically the joy we feel during Christmas season. I hear many of my peers lament how Christmas is not the same festival they were used to when growing up. “Christmas used to be fun when we were younger”, they say. Our parents did their best to make

It's not as if I forget that the Lord is good or that He's capable of turning the worst of situations around, I just wish to have it re-echoed by another human. A gentle touch, a set of genuine eyes looking deep into my soul, a warm hug, a pat on the back and these beautiful words flowing from their lips;"Juliana, God will do it",”Be strong and of good faith, your God has gone ahead of you", "This too shall pass".  That seldomly happens because I tend to carry it all in silen

ART for the purposes of this post is every expression of a person towards their divine purpose. Even in conventional terms, art doesn't have a fixed meaning, it is a fluid expression of human thought and emotion. So when I mention art here, don't let your mind drift only to the Monalisa or one of Beethoven classics, think about the work you have a sense of purpose towards. If you are a small business owner, a little social media influencer, a budding philanthropist, a dilige

Slowly her mind drifted to that fateful afternoon when numerous men surrounded her house. Wearing a red robe she had hurriedly put on as they banged the door, she and her lover were running frantically up and down the room trying to find a way of escape. One bang came at the door, then another until the door came crashing down. There stood men, about 20 of them, eyes bloodshot with rage. “There they are”, a lanky looking man screamed. The woman found herself being yanked by t

I wish preachers would spend more time preaching the Word than telling us their experiences. This is a slippery one because I think many of them genuinely have good intentions and are just trying to make sure that whatever point they're making is practical to their audience. But you'll look back at a 2 hour sermon and there's one solid hour of “when we were in school”, “there was one time”, “I remember”. Then it begs to ask, is this a personal story telling session or a place

Remember the whole Bible reading plan I started on January 1st this year? Check out that post here👉 https://julianaofjehovah.wixsite.com/website-1/post/new-year-new-me-i-m-serious-this-is-for-real-featuring-duolingo-and-youversion . This is an update on my progress and some lessons I have learnt. Don't ask me about Duolingo because I shamelessly quit that app many moons ago😭.  Thankfully I was able to show up everyday to do the Bible plan. I hope this one makes up for my D

I had the honour of using a public restroom last week. The toilet paper was positioned on top of the toilet tank (that thing that contains water for flushing). I observed that there were two of them (t-rolls). “Do they have a thing for wastage or they're just generous?”, I asked myself. Then I took a closer look and realized that the colours were different; one was white and the other was cream - similar enough to confuse me. Then I noticed another thing,the textures were dif

You wake up one morning with a serious urge to use the toilet. You rush to the toilet, do the needful, reach out to take the tissue paper after your business and realise you’ve run out. Tell me, how will you feel? That little inconvenience is able to change your mood. It is in that moment that you'll realise how important tissue paper is.  If cheap lifeless tissue paper has a purpose, how much more you- a living breathing image of the one true God? Hi there, we're gonna talk
