EP: How Marriage Changes Your Friendships ft. @hayleymulenda
#ToMySisters #ToMySisterhood š
Seasons change š
In November 2015, I prayed that the next man God would send me would be my husband. I didnāt think it would lead to me being single for 7 years, and whilst it wasnāt always fun, I learnt to be content.
Through prayer, conversation and study, I grasped that marriage was not a reward, but a divine institution God put imperfect people in to make them more like Christ. And that singleness was not a punishment but a unique opportunity for complete devotion. Both seasons requiring a person to depend totally on God.
Iāve travelled, studied my passions, used my gifts, served my community, lived purposefully, and found joy in my friendships. God used each to nurture, heal and refine me. And when commentary produced comparison that led me to consider compromise, I remembered my convictions. That I would not settle for anything that could not rival the beauty of this season. So I waited for the one who God would send - then He sent you.
Your care has comforted me.
Your words have encouraged me.
Your service has challenged me.
Your sonship has inspired me.
Your prayers have covered me.
Your friendship has softened me.
And your character has impressed me.
My love, Godās son, you have loved me #InTheMostBeautifulWay š«¶š¾
You were never meant to carry all that weight sis.
In my latest YouTube video I got really passionate and started speaking to the women who are carrying too muchā¦
Iāve been there. When youāre mistaken service for false responsibility and now youāre being crushed under the weight.
The whole video reminds everyone - but especially women - that even Jesus, the sacrificial lamb, lived His life in a wise, sustainable, and intentional way, so that He didnāt burn out whilst loving others.
Thereās so much we can all learn from it. The first is that the human body has its needs and limitations.
YOU ARE HUMAN.
You are not limitless (sorry if it ruffles with your affirmations) š
You are a system that will burnout if you pour out more than you fill up - itās that simple sis.
One of the most dangerous things about being consistently mishandled is that, over time, it can make you forget how valuable you truly are.
But hear me clearly, sis:
Other peopleās inability to recognise your value does not reduce your value.
Your worth has been determined by God. Your value defined by Your Creator. Others may have mistreated you, but your worth has not diminished.
Remind yourself of who you, and whose you are, and move forward in confidence.
There is nothing glamorous or virtuous about BURNOUT!
I just posted a new YouTube video š¤ and I got really passionate in this one.
You know you canāt pour from an empty cup, but youāre still only refilling when youāre closed to being completely drained š
Iāve been there. Losing yourself as your pour into everyone else. But you canāt afford to live in that state constantly.

This episode is for the woman who is done playing small and ready to play smart. š”
Our good sister and the mastermind behind our latest rebranded episodes, @reginaquartey_ gets into how powerful women truly elevate and the moves most people never talk about. She opens up about what it truly takes to build influence from the inside out, the moments that shaped how she moves, and what she wishes more women understood about owning their position in any room they walk into.
If you have ever felt like you were doing everything right and still not being seen, this episode is going to hit differently. š

I wouldnāt be the woman I am today without my motherās example š¤
Happy Motherās Day to all the mamaās out there. Whether biological, spiritual, adoptive, waiting, expecting, all of it - you are pillars.
Our personal obedience is not up for public vote!
Donāt get it twisted, you need wise counsel in your life, but the purpose of wise counsel is to help you navigate how to carry out what God has called you to do, not negotiate whether you should do it - thereās a difference.
One welcomes trusted voices into your life to help you pursue who God has called you to be with wisdom, and is rooted in your own spiritual maturity and commitment to God.
The other is a way of seeking permission to become what God has called you to be. Itās you outsourcing your decision-making and commitment to spiritual maturity by being more dependent on peopleās validation than you are following God.
The latter coddles fear. The former births leaders.

This one hits hard because it makes you confront the āpeople pleaserā in you.
But people pleasing will put you in bondage. Itās a snare (Proverbs 29:25)
The problem isnāt being considerate of others, itās prioritising human approval over Godās standards.
Peopleās opinions will control your every move and divert you from purpose, impact and calling.
Free yourself from the fear of being misunderstood.
