Rejection. No matter the context or situation: whether it's from a job application or a college acceptance it's never fun to go through. As people, we don't go out looking for rejection. But when we do face it, it can affect us in so many ways if we don't know how to handle it in a healthy way. I often thought if there was a right way to face rejection. Turns out there is a way I can use rejection to my advantage, and if this is something you dear reader are finding difficult to handle at the moment please keep reading. Rejection can hit deep. We could be left by a family member/loved one -  it can take so much out of us emotionally and mentally. It can shake us and traumatise us. I know loved ones who are still hurting and bleeding from a rejection that happened to them decades ago. I used to be someone that took rejection very badly. Rejection used to shake me to my core. The reason for this is that I had no stable foundation to stand on, as a result rejection...

Spiritual warfare. Something we often hear in scripture, books, titles and sermons. However, one thing I realised later that I wish I knew sooner was that every day was a battle ground that I had to step on. Not just on a Sunday. Every day we have a choice, to go into the day with the word and worship OR with worry. We can go into a new day with fear OR faith, but we cant walk into it with both. The question is: What are we stepping into the day with? What are we taking to battle? To many people (myself included) the word and praise might seem like the straightforward answer..... but what thoughts go through our mind and reside when we wake up?  Do we wake up with a negative attitude, dreading of what the day will bring before we even step out of bed? What are the first things we say when we wake up? When I reflected on these questions, it turns out I wasn't stepping onto the battlefield with the best armour. In fact, I was equipping myse...

Hey sis, Wanted to share some scripture with y'all today as this revelation blessed me and hope it can be of a blessing to you. Let's go into John chapter 15: “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:4-5). I have read this scripture so many times, and it wasn't long ago I had to ask myself what does it really mean to abide in Christ? This verse says that Christ is the vine, and we are the branches in union with Him who are told to “abide.” A mistake that I made when reading this (and I don't think I'm alone), is I tried to figure out what do I need to do in order to abide, but that we are to receive. What are we to receive? The fruit, the nourishment that is needed for our lives which comes from the vin...

Promotions, engagements, pregnancy announcements, sealing the deal on a new home, relocating to a dream city. All these things were happening to friends and family. Except me. Don't get me wrong, I would be happy and celebrate these amazing things that were happening to my loved ones. But when I got home from that wedding ceremony or baby shower, I would think to myself then ask God "what about me?" I began to read up on scripture regarding joy in the midst of the "waiting" season. I watched some videos from Heather Lindsey and read articles on her blog about being content and having faith no matter the season you're in. I soon realised my mind-set HAD to change, because I would constantly be hitting a brick wall and bitterness/resentment would soon creep in. It took me a while to realise what I am about to share. And if you get anything from this post I pray it would be this: The next "chapter",  my "dream season" whatever i...

Resting in Him and His word today, realizing that He knows ALL my needs before I even speak them. That He is a faithful Father who will take care of me. He will never leave, never disappoint, and never fail. He doesn't change His mind, nor does He take a day off. His love is bold, has no boundaries and is unending. He is working all things together for our good, no matter what the situation or circumstance looks like at the moment. Trust in Him, for He cares for you more than you could ever imagine. Stay encouraged, Chloe @ SheReformed x  

I remember being a new Christian, having my new study bible in front of me with an excited heart to learn all the attributes of God. I began to read up on how He is Lord, sovereign. All the characteristics of who He is to us. The Almighty One, who is all powerful and with supernatural strength and wisdom. Scripture then goes on to identify God as a Heavenly Father. I hesitated at this thought. Unfortunately like many other people, the term and meaning of father has not always projected something positive in my life. When we have a negative experience of a father in our lives, it is easy to think God would be similar. But He is in fact far from it, I just had to find this out for myself. It took prayer and study into the word to separate what I knew about fathers based on what I experienced,  to the Father that God is, and the Father that He wants to be in our lives. I thought to myself how can I connect to Him that way? I had to push past what I t...
