December 15th has special meaning for me. It marks the date when God make me a promise that sparked my belief in something I had stopped hoping for years ago. That was all the way in 2019. And to be honest, after a rollercoaster ride, I stopped believing. Somewhere along the journey, my faith dissolved…
A few weeks ago, the Lord said to me: Chanel, too many voices…. At first, I was confused and pondered on the meaning.

I’ve been thinking about writing this post for a while, trying to figure out some sassy wise-assed way of starting and frankly, I’ve got nothing.

I am a water lover with a shameful secret… I can’t swim! Horrible?! I know right?! 😅 I had the below experience a while back… Please turn on video captions, if you are not a patois speaker or can’t hear clearly. I hope you laughed as much as I did when I came across this…
This week has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. In one of the first rounds I experienced, I felt like I had totally lost my footing. My first reaction was to feel sad, overwhelmed and lost.

In preparing for God’s visions for our lives for the year ahead, my church Transformation Church (TC), has undertaken a 21-Day of Fasting.
