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!

The Season of Loss

How do you handle Loss? The Bible says, 8 " O my people, trust in him at all times.    Pour out your heart to him,  for God is our refuge". (Psalm 62: 8) (NLT).  As we face inevitable losses in life, we need to remember that we have the ability to pick up and put ourselves back together, and begin to get on with our lives once again. When we experience loss we may get these feelings: fear, depression, worry, guilt and anger. If these emotions are ignored, it may take longer to recover and move on from your grief. This is why it is healthy and okay to experience all these emotions, some people experience these emotions at once, others may be staggered. Everyone goes through them, in relation to Loss, no matter what they may say. People who deal with grief and pretend that everything is okay and that life can be lived as normal, will ultimately struggle with the stress of many emotions. This struggle can last for months or years and y ears to come. Jesus said, 4 "...

Conflict... Resolving conflict

How do you resolve conflict in your life? 15 " A gentle answer  turns away wrath,  but a harsh word stirs up anger."  (Proverbs 15:1) (NIV). Why is it that when someone gets angry we also get angry, when people raise or shout at us, we usually shout or raise our voice back at them. By mirroring their actions, you are allowing the situation to escalate ad get out of hand, soon it becomes too late. " When other people raise their voice, lower yours — in your marriage, in your parenting, in your friendships, and at work. That’s called strength under control." (Pastor Rick Warren). When you oppose to what someone has says, take a step back and reevaluate the situation for a brief moment, come back, and handle the situation in the best way. This could be done by simply walking away. This deescalates the anger. The Bible declares that, 4 " If your boss is angry at you, don’t quit!  A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes." ( Ecclesiastes 10:4) (NL...

Bad Company Corrupts Good Character!

Yes, there is a need to avoid Bad Company. 1 Corinthians 15: 33 says this " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.” (NIV). Do your friends corrupt your morals? Do you allow your friends to corrupt your morals?  It is important to choose wisely who you allow to influence you. We are humans and are easily corrupted by the company we keep. We need to prevent others bad influences from causing us to become a bad influence on ourselves and others.  Friends can either help us or harm us. Only You can choose the company you keep! God made the statement in His Word, the Bible, which proclaims " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.”  (NIV). This statement reminds us that we are a building board for Jesus and we must not Waiver and stumble off the path that God has set for us. Bad company can have a great influence on our walk with God. It can trick us into thinking that we can keep the wrong type of company and continue o...
