Judith's Insight

I’ve heard the word “tenacious” a number of times in my lifetime but I don’t think I have ever truly delved (I promise this is not AI-generated 😂) into what that word entails.  Recently, I was in a Bible Class and the teacher talked about “tenacity”. After that teaching, something dangerous was ignited in me and I would like to share it with y'all too. (I know, I'm very generous😌) To be tenacious means to be dogged or better still unwilling to yield or give up. A tenacious person to me is like a crazy person who despite all odds still goes for something. A tenacious person will say “regardless”, “even though”, “upon still”. I will explain this in a religious format because that’s how best I know how to explain it. The Bible says “Ask and it shall be given unto you". When you ask and it’s not given, tenacity is not stopping there, it is seeking, you seek. When you seek and you don’t find, that's a clear indication that there’s an obstruction, a door, so you knock and ...

What do you do to calm yourself in anxious seasons? I say seasons because I don’t mean short-term anxiety. I mean anxiety that runs for days and sometimes months. Where or who do you seek comfort from? I hope you don’t take on bad habits👀.  Well, this is about me so I will be talking about where I seek comfort when I’m in my anxious season😗. As a Christian, I know the broad theory is to seek comfort from God -remember not to bother people too much with your problem because I heard a saying not so recently that “If you tell me all your problems then what will you tell God”. I was shocked at first when I heard that because ahan people can be so unprovoked but there’s some truth to it because truly if you discuss all your life problems with a mortal man what will you tell the immortal God? Yes, we seek comfort from God but there are means to seek his comfort, practical means and I will be sharing two of what works for me. Firstly, I find comfort in the scriptures, the Bible. I coul...

Do you guys know what’s worse than being deceived by people? Yes, you guessed right. Self-deceit. I don’t mean the kind of self-deceit where you actually know what you are doing but them nosy people go “You’re deceiving yourself not me”. But in the real sense of it, you know your truth and you’ve accepted it, but for some reason, they refuse to accept it. 🙄 I’m talking about actual self-deceit that you are sometimes aware of. Being “ delulu ” but the harmful kind of delulu . I sometimes have an argument in my head about which is better, ignorance or knowledge. Honestly, I’m still a bit confused, but I sometimes lean towards ignorance, and I will tell you why. Most times, I mean like eighty per cent of the time when I do or I’m doing something I shouldn’t be doing, I do it with the knowledge that I’m not supposed to do it or be doing it. The feeling is so awful because there is a certain type of guilt that rushes in.  Let’s say I know I should read my bible but I don't read it and...
