It is at that particular moment that the lioness inside of me was awakened.
Suddenly just like waking up from a bad dream
I shook my head as I realised that I wasn't just an ordinary girl.
Yes, I wasn't just an average girl, mother or wife
I wasn't just a high school or college girl trying to get good grades
I wasn't just a working lady trying to earn a place at the big corporate table
I wasn't just a mother trying to raise her kids
I wasn't just a wife trying to keep her marriage intact.
I was more than that
There was more to me than meet the eye.
My dreams and purpose went beyond that.
I was a vessel of honour
Placed there for a season and reason
Placed there to make a difference
Placed there to raise godly kids of destiny unshaken by uncertainty
Placed there to birth a marriage that preached the second coming of Christ
Placed in the business world to call for godliness and need for Christ even in success.
My purpose kept calling me to run away
To run away from seeking validation
from people who did not understand my calling
To run away from people who are so earthly
whilst seeking things which are above
To run away from people who looked and judged with mere eyes
whilst my spirit convinced me not to look at the things which are seen
for they are temporal but to walk by faith not sight
It convinced me to persevere
and like Apostle Paul hear God saying
My grace is sufficient
To run the race just like Apostle Paul says
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run
but only one gets the prize, therefore as to get a prize.
For I remembered that at the end of it all
no one at my funeral will say
"she was a slay queen, had a nice car or had a good paying job"
but character and substance is all that will matter
My works, not earnings will follow me
So I will never forget this day
for it is on this day that I turned my back on earthly things.
I walked away and never looked back
for I remembered I wasn't just an ordinary girl
but a ROYAL DAUGHTER.
