Hello, welcome to my Blog!


My name is Tomi. I am a 23 year old South Londoner. I am excited you are here!!

Get to know me a little bit more and find out why I began this blog.

Why did I create a blog?

I created this blog because I hope to share with you how I have found Peace, Happiness, Joy, and Serenity through God's Word. I hope you enjoy my posts. Please go ahead and Subscribe, Share and tell your friends and families so that they may also know how Amazing, Awesome and Great God truly is!

About this blog:

The purpose of this blog is to share daily encouragement, motivation, and empowerment, using the word of God. God's word cannot only be used for healing, reflection, prayer. Not only during difficult times; it is the means by which we, God's Children, encounter Him; to get to know Him, enjoy Him, His divinity and His glory. These are some things that will be discussed in this blog. If you are intrigued, please do keep reading.

Why 'Let Your Light Shine'?

You are probably wondering why the title of this blog is 'Let Your Light Shine'. This title comes from Matthew 5:14-16 (NLV) and in it reads, 14 "You are the light of the world. You cannot hide a city that is on a mountain. 15 Men do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. They put it on a table so it gives light to all in the house. 16 Let your light shine in front of men. Then they will see the good things you do and will honour your Father Who is in heaven".

To me, this passage says that I am a light of this world that cannot be hidden. I am 'LIT' in God and nothing and nobody can ever dim my light or put me out because I have been made to shine, to be LIT by God!

Maintaining Balance in Our Lives! Managing Your Time!

Do you experience pressure from friends, from family, or work which disturbs your peace of mind? Have you felt that there simply isn't enough time in the day to do all that you would like to do? Do you feel like you simply can't manage/balance your time because of so and so? Many people do find it difficult to do this. This is completely normal because we do live in a hectic world. Countless people seek complete serenity and balance in their lives. Some struggle because they are trying to find the balance, peace of mind, on their own, but it is merely impossible to go through life trying to solve your own issues and situations. It is accepting to seek help. Help from God! With God The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit you are never alone. When the feeling of overwhelmedness exhausts you, you need to begin looking at your relationship with God and also your faith. Do Not allow your Faith to become less because of your temporary feeling or situation! Instead, let your Fa

Contentment... Are You Satisfied With What You Have or Do You Always Want More?

In life, we must be more  Grateful and Thankful than anything else. This is because everything that is given to us is a Gift and a Blessing from God. Every breath we take is a gift given from God and we would not be able to take our next breath if God didn't give it to us. Ecclesiastes (6: 9) states, " Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless—like chasing the wind". (NLT) Do you compare what you have to what other's have? Why? What causes the feeling of envy? Do you find yourself competing with others and what they have? Why? For instance, do you say to yourself 'I want that handbag, it looks good on her. I want one for myself'. Or 'Why does she have a boyfriend/fiance/husband and I don't'. Or 'Why am I going through what I'm going through. Why can't I have a life like hers/his?'. Why did she get a better grade and we completed the assignment together?'.

Having a Better relationship with God

"They were to look for God... and find Him because He is not far from each one of us. It is in Him that we live and move and keep on living". Acts 17:27 (NLV).
