I dedicate this article to all the black sisters out there.
October marks Black History Month in the UK and hence I want to use this platform which God has given me by His grace, to celebrate every black woman in the UK. You are strong, reliable, and full of power. Despite all that the system and society throws at us, God has been our strong support. He has our back. May God continue to bless all our black sisters in the UK and around the world in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen
(Oprah Winfrey Inspirational quotes for black women)
“You will be wounded many times in your life. You’ll make mistakes. Some people will call them failures, but I have learned that failure is really God’s way of saying, Excuse me, you’re moving in the wrong direction. It’s just an experience, just an experience.”
Dear sister-in-Christ don’t stay in the valley of defeat and self-pity, it’s time to arise and trust God to navigate you to the next glorious chapter of your life in Jesus Name. Let’s take a cue from the bible heroine, called Deborah who like you and I faced immense struggles, oppositions but rose above those challenges and flourished greatly in life by the assistance of God Almighty.
