Serenity in a noisy world

Hello guys. My post today is kind of spiritual, but work with me here. I have a good platform here and we are called to spread the word of God as children of God, thus this is me here sharing some wisdom I got from mass yesterday. 

We live in a truly noisy world, do you agree? Especially us Africans lol. I often ask myself if God speaks to us like in the days of old. I envy the close relationship he had with David, Moses, Abraham. At one seemingly low point in my life, I could boast of such a closeness. I could just sit, and feel God's presence giving me joy! But I graduated and got immersed in a busy hard world and let's just say it wasn't easy to keep up our silent conversations. I was either to busy, tired or frustrated with what life throws at me. But yesterday I was reminded that in a noisy world such as ours, if we could at least set aside a little time to just sit quietly either for 30 minutes or 1 hour. In the presence of God, or just in our rooms, blocking out all the problems, troubles and noise of the world and just focus on God. But where we miss it is that, we are always busy, talking, telling God our problems, we never sit and ask God to speak to us. We don't listen to what he's saying. We are trying to speak in tongues, be in the spirit, shout our prayers, we don't remember that we need to listen to God's answers. I was super excited at hearing this. I mean, God has something to say to me? It's pretty amazing to know that my mighty God wants to talk to me. He also wants to talk to you to. So maybe sometime instead of shouting out prayers, blaming God, and complaining about things we can do nothing about. Why don't we stay quietly in his marvelous presence and say "speak to me lord" you just might be surprised.  

 My outfit is pretty straight foward. I am dressed in a sweater worn backwards. I needed to give it a different spark, because I love this sweater so much, and have worn it the same way, it was refreshing to style it another way. Also, the peplum belt was made for my Ankara gown, which I rocked to a weeding. (Find it on my Instagram page @hifashiononline) I decided to add it up to make it much muchier. My necklace is normally doubled up. So I let it drop at the back to add a bit of Zhou Zhou . Lol. Have a fabulous week ahead, stay fab, stay classy, stay stylish. Stay quiet. Lol

Be fab!!!
