International Womens Day 2020

-

Hey ladies,


I just wanted to write a bit for International Women’s Day 2020. March 8th is a day where we remember the struggles that women around the world have undergone to gain equality and rights that we can enjoy today. It is also a day where we acknowledge the challenges and obstacles that millions of girls and women are facing today.




What can we do on this day?



Watch some documentaries. Girl Rising is a fantastic documentary that came out a few years ago that tells the stories of nine girls from different parts of the world who face heartbreaking injustices such as arranged marriages and child slavery.








You can find out more about the work behind the movie by visiting https://girlrising.orghttps://girlrising.org






Read up on the lives of women today who are changing the world with their voice and their actions.
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading Malala Yousafzai’s inspirational biography “I am Malala”. Years later this is still one of the most inspirational books I have ever read and Malala continues to fight for women's right to have education and using her voice as a catalyst for change.














There are also some amazing charities and organizations that are all about helping women who are in need. There is an amazing charity in my city called Ubuntu, which is a women shelter that offer a variety of services  which include hosting, referrals and advocacy are designed to meet the unique emotional and psychological needs of women excluded from homelessness and welfare services and housing.

Happy International Womens Day! Here's to strong women!

Dear Girls - A letter from Steven Mcleish

Dear girls, I have something to say to you:  the stuff you're listening to just isn't true  and I hope this gets through to you. You are not ugly, dumb or unattractive you need to take every thought captive because you captivate.  You are not just another stereotype and as you type your status know that you are more than your status and likes. You say you're fat and ugly but that is not what you post to be, a princess and daughter of the KING is what you're supposed to be. You are beautiful, unique, one in a billion, one of a kind, awesome, brilliant, creative,powerful,stunning, smart and a woman after God's own heart. And whether you think you're fat or thin just be comfortable in your own skin. And next time you think of the word beautiful don't forget to count yourself in. You are precious, a trusted diamond, boys who don't wait for you are not wise men because you are one of the most valued commodities there is.   And know you will never look like th

LEARNING FROM SEASONS: MALACHI 3:6

Hey sisters, Hope you're all enjoying the festivities that come with this time of year! Ok ok I have to admit, I'm such a winter baby. I'm all about the cooler weather, winter fashion, the aesthetic and of course CHRISTMAS. One thing I also love about this time of the year is the transition of season from winter to spring; flowers blossoming and the change in weather. It has always been a reminder to me of seasons of life. Life consists of so many seasons, some good and some more difficult. One thing we can be certain of however: Seasons change, the world is changing everyday but God NEVER changes. He is true to His word and His promises. He is the One that remains above all. “I, the Lord, do not change” (Malachi 3:6) He was mighty yesterday, is today and will be tomorrow. I wrote a post earlier in the year titled the best foundation - and it links with what was on my heart to write today. When we stand on the word and promises of God it becomes our

KNOWING HIM: DELIVERER

-
I just love reading about the different people in the bible that God delivered from all sorts of complex, difficult situations. For example, there was Paul and Silas who God delivered from prison (see Acts 16:23-26). There was also Daniel in the lion's den, whom God delivered from certain death by keeping the mouths of the lions shut! God also delivered David from afflictions; to be precise the mouth of the lion and the paw of a bear! (see 1 Samuel 17:37). These are just some of many stories that you can read about where God came through and brought them out the other side.  God is indeed a deliverer. Just like so many people in the bible, we will all face affliction at some point or another. Where we are hit with a brick wall and we think "now what?". There have been many times in my life where I was stuck in the lions den, the enemy would have loved so much for me to just bow and give up then and there. There is something we can do however: we can withstan
