The Greatest Love Story Ever Told - By Fisayo Agunbiade

You can be cooking and smiling at yourself. Dressing up and laughing at yourself. Getting to work and swing your hips from side to side because you know you are happy. You feel happy and you know it deep down. As a woman, feelings are like second nature. You call a woman fat or skinny and it hits a nerve immediately. A fuss could be created or a tear could be shed but essentially it all boils down to feelings. 

Women nowadays go after their hearts and guts and that's the way to  finding oneself. The best way to go is to lean on those little voices that direct you to matters of the heart where empathy lives and love is created. Little wonder why women do so successfully in fields of medicine, academia and social sciences. It all boils down to what matters most; the issues of the heart. 

 But consider all that love of finding purpose, finding true love, finding God and not actually finding oneself? Apologies to oneself is already in the works if the realisation that all the things you have been loving for weren't things meant yo determine you. You, are the woman and you need to be found as well. 

Beauty explains this, and even after finding the mysterious treasures of life and you can't find beauty, the work has not been done. You have not been found. "Experiencing beauty is like a smile, an energy, a feeling that takes you over completely." 

So, why don't you love yourself today and let go of all big things down to the little details and experience that beauty that will bring the best out of you. The beauty you will forever be proud of when you no longer have to steal a look at the mirror, but this time around, linger a little while longer because you have seen that beauty and that beauty is magnificent. You are the greatest love story ever told.

The Simple, Practical Solution To Reading More of Your Bible

At the beginning of the year, I decided I wanted to read the entire Bible - for the second time - in a year. (I also started using these amazing reading plans on my even more amazing Bible app, YouVersion. It's awesome; check it out! )  My aim is to get more of God's word into my head, mind and heart, and as a result, get to know Him better, as... "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was  God." (John 1:1) Simple, yeah? If God and His Word are one, then by getting to know one more, I get to know the other, right? But to achieve my goal, I obviously had to carve out more time to read God's Word.  Now, truth be told, I often find reading the Bible a little bit tedious (I'll have you know God appreciates my honesty), ESPECIALLY when it gets to certain, not-so-Jesus-loves-you-you-can-do-no-wrong-everything-is-all-GOOD chapters like Numbers, Leviticus and a few others (let's cut them some slack, shall we?). But I rea...

Let's Talk About Time: Where is Yours Going?

I've come to a stage in my life where one of the top 3 things I am most passionate about is how I'm spending my time. Why? It's one of the greatest gift God has given us - and a lot of the time, truth be told, we squander it. How you spend your time is a reflection of what you really care about. When you find that hours on hours are lost on online shopping, scrolling through Instagram, watching your favourite series, complaining about everything that's wrong in your life, it shows that's where you're truly most invested. It's where your heart and your mind are. Aside from chasing our passions and 'living our best life', how often do we remember that we are called to much more? That our lives are not just for chasing pleasures and being comfy? That we were created neither to just pay the bills or make loads of money? What are you doing with your time? It's a question I now ask myself everyday. It's so important to me not to go thro...

What Does it Really Mean to Have an 'Anointing'?

Isn't 'anointing' just one of those Christian words that tends to be used a lot but we generally don't really understand? I listened to a fantastic podcast by Joyce Meyer (Ministries) today, Don't Be Led By Your Head . Along with several amazing lessons I picked up from JM (who I looove ), she said something I believe everyone should know: an anointing is simply God's power and enablement in your life to do something. We all heard this word so much from our pastors, preachers and reverends growing up and it just seemed so fancy, no?! You think of 'the anointing' as this precious, fragile thing that only 'God's special people' (like those mentioned above) have access to... something so far from your reach. But do you know every Christian has the anointing of God in different ways and different things? Let me just clear something up: this doesn't have to be singing in church or being a home fellowship leader . You could have an anoint...
