Small steps, Giant strides

Written on August 19, 2026

It's 7:05 on a Tuesday morning and I have been up for over 3 hours. I spent about an hour in my gallery and kept scrolling through old videos.

I had no idea that I was one to document memories, 5, 10, 15, seconds, a minute.....I didn't watch them all but I am so grateful to myself that I was intentional enough to store up and preserve little fragments of myself from different stages of my life.

It was beautiful to see the pieces add up together, it gave me so much up and assurance that noting indeed remains the same forever. I may be where I am today, unsure of where to go and what to do next, but one thing is certain that as long as I keep moving and giving life my best there really is only one outcome- Me coming out at the top.

I started studying English with little idea as to what the course entailed and what was demanded of me. As I kept progressing, I gracefully by the help up of God was able to meet up with the demands and kept striving towards excellence and I scaled through, In fact, I more than scaled through. I emerged one of the best students from that graduating class.

A little drop of water indeed makes a might ocean and the great news is that there is more than a little drop of water on the inside of me. There's a river inside of me and out of me shall it flow. I am an exceptional woman who is going to do exceptional things.

All I have right now is a big picture and multiple checkpoints, I don't know exactly how I am going to my destination but I am not bothered. I didn't know where the road i was taking 10 years ago after secondary school was going to lead me but I walked the path, I was faithful. I believed in God's word and in his promise, I learned and I grew and I am nothing but grateful for how everything turned out.

I know without a doubt now that if I keep on in this same Spirit and attitude without all that has been added to me in this past decade there is only 1 possible outcome and that is SUCCES!
