Art And Photography

An explorer with a love for the creative and created. Each moment, captured or left silently appreciated adds to my life’s song; one that was started by He who sings over me.

Art exhibition @thesp_ce this last weekend. It’s really great when artists get their work out there. It takes courage. It’s really great when artists are supported by their local community to a point where it becomes a stable career and all of the time invested pays off. Support your local creatives. Take time to hear their stories. See how brave they are. • • • • • • #zimbabwe #zimart #zimartist #harare #harareevents #art #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artist #artsy #creative #create #canvas #painting #plant #zimbloggers #exploretocreate #creativebusiness #creativejob #creativecareer #instaart #artsy #artistsofinstagram #creatives #creativity #localart #localbrand #shoplocal #localmarket #localbusiness #localartist

The great thing about having passengers in the car is that you can ask them to take a picture of the beautiful sunrise when you can’t 😉. @byruvarashe did the things. Although I’m not always up in time for them, I love sunrises. It’s almost as though we are given something to see and appreciate as we step into the new day. The harder part is to then appreciate the smaller less obvious things and be grateful for each new thing in that day. The challenge for me often comes when there is a need to Fight each negative thought with a positive one. To always be grateful because there is always soooo much to be grateful for. • • • #friendship #sunrise #beauty #nature #car #window #mirror #view #morning #mentalhealth #roadtrip #earlyriser #capetown #cpt #explorecapetown #explore #travel #wonder #wanderlust #capture #invisibleillness #southafrica #zimcreatives #road #positivethinking #natureappreciation #colour #clouds #gratitude (at Cape Town, Western Cape)

This is my friend @theburgerblogct 😊. She’s a burger blogger so if you need a burger joint check her page out😉. We sometimes have friend dates and try a place one of us hasn’t seen before (usually me lol). I can’t wait for our next one Debs ❤️. Also, you have always supported my creative side in more ways than you know and realize. • • #explore #explorers #explorecapetown #travel #travelcapetown #capture #clouds #ocean #bettysbay #capturemoments #create #creatives #creation #friends #friendship #sisterhood #poser #blogger #foodie #foodblogger #cptblogger #capetownblogger #southafrica #view #mentalhealth (at Betty's Bay, Western Cape)

Sometimes you need to take a step back and let God do the fighting

The number one place I abide in is “God you love me because You sent Your Son.” And it’s the number one place most Christians struggle to believe and receive.

Don’t miss it. Even in the mess.

It’s been a rough couple of weeks and I’ve found myself constantly reminding myself that God is good and he stays good and he is constant. In between that there definitely has been a lot of wondering why more things keep going wrong.

Remembering something from Uninvited(a book I would recommend everyone read); when the disciples were in the storm (Mark6), they somehow managed to miss the miracle in the mess. The good in the time of trouble. Just before that, they had witnessed Jesus feed many, heal many and perform other miracles. In the book (Uninvited), the author calls those moments expressions of God. So they witnesssed the expressions but turned them into personal experiences showing not seen just how great Jesus was and who he really was.

I realised that I, like the disciples in the storm have turned so many of my experiences with God, of seeing him work in me and through me over and over and over into personal experiences. I haven’t always shown that I know that God holds true to his word and he is who he says he is. This is especially in the moments I find myself doubting whether there really is good in the situation. This is my reality on a daily basis. This is why Paul in Romans says to transform our minds. I’ve come to learn that there is a need to do this every single day and it’s not something I can do alone.

Today I’ve realised this and I hope that tomorrow He shows me this and nip the thought in the bud. My eyes are open and my heart is open. I’m not going to miss it this time round.

In the end, worship can never be a performance, something you’re pretending or putting on. It’s got to be an overflow of your heart. Worship is about getting personal with God, drawing close to God.

I never realised how important pain was. How without pain, there would be no joy. I went through life just wanting whatever pain I felt to end. But now I realise, I have to revel in it. Be thankful for it. But never let it win.

Never push a loyal person to the point where they no longer care.
