My salvation is not debatable, neither should yours!

One of the things that kills us faster as humans is trying to get validation from others to know if we are living our best life or not.?
I still wonder why this is still so even when we are so engulfed in information that shows us every day that your life and existence are a gift that should not be controlled by anything or anyone.
For TRB, what you choose to believe and accept is fine as long as it gives you peace and connects you with your source.
Until you know who you are and how precious it is to be alive, you will use every second to do better for yourself. and I always say, it doesn't matter what my journey looks like on Earth, when it's time for me to go, I will return to where I came from. This is my reality and my salvation is not debatable.?
You can sit down to judge and analyze my life but that is your problem. I didn't get this far to still be worried about how to please you when even God said he repented to have created humans.?
So, this is for you who still feel overwhelmed with trying to live up to people's standards and expectations. You will not survive it and when you die...life will go on with or without you.
If you cannot afford a trip with your peers, cancel it, and the world will not end. If you cannot afford Aso Ebi, don't borrow to pay for it. you cannot buy synthetic hair, tie your scarf. I have started tying scarves since late last year because I chose to go with my definition of style and beauty. I can be anything I want to be and it doesn't change the fact that I am Aderonke and I am loved by my creator.

If there is one thing I will want you to do to have a more enjoyable year, it is not to allow anyone to debate your salvation or how you live a life that aligns with your truth. No one should dictate your peace.?
However, for you to live your truth, you must ensure you do not intentionally cause harm to anyone. Of course, some people will feel pain for not being able to control or stop you from being you, that is their self-inflicted pain and you have no problem with that. Just do you and be you and watch how your life will only get better.
See you at your best always!

10 个月Mine is not I assure you sis ??Aderonke Adeyemi -Ayeni, arpa. I am 51 and, i have the blessed sweet experience of God being merciful enough to walk with me every single step of my life. Must have been even before I ended up in my ma's womb. I know that for a fact. Anyone who truly knows my life would know that without the shadow of a doubt. I have been through something of the darkest and most desolate of places in my life and, I came out more powerful, stronger and, bearing more light. I shall give up anything and anyone before i compromise my salvation. That is why I proceed cautiously and, warily. I am not deluded that I shall live forever in this physical world. I know beter and, I have not deadened the voice of my conscience which reminds me of that so that I can "enjoy" what the world has to offer in a parody of the injunction, "When in Rome...". I tell yo sis. I am good. How else would I have been able to remain sane in a world that's become increasingly degenerate, depraved, perverted and foul? it is because even though I am here, I am not of it. I know who I am to an extent that'd shock others if they new. Once again, to the Glory of the Most-High, I say it again, I am good. Blessings always ????????.

10 个月An exceptional reminder... What stuck out to me is not to do pass myself, the fact that my God loves me where I am hence the fact that I do not need validation from anyone. Excellent read! ?
