Monthly Archives: September 2025

August 2025 rolled in, and as usual, I took it straight to God, birthday loading! 🥳 Since I turned 40, it’s been my tradition to fast for the number of days leading up to my birthday. It’s my way of seeking God’s face for the new year ahead.

But this time, something different stirred in my spirit. As I prayed, my mind drifted to my upcoming book yes, the one I’ve been writing (or at least thinking about writing) for the past 15 years. The theme? Shoes. Yep, you read that right. Shoes.

Now, before you raise your brow, let me tell you a hilarious and humbling story that sealed the deal for me never to give up on this book.

Flashback: The Great Shoe Disaster of 2017

It was the first Sunday of the year you know the drill. We dress up in our finest to give God our first praise. I had my outfit laid out: beautiful dress, matching accessories, and of course, those killer heels. I was also scheduled to lead praise and worship that morning. Everything was going great… until it wasn’t.

Just five minutes before I was to mount the altar, I stood up from my seat near the front, took a few steps and then snap! I heard a tiny sound… and just like that, my elegant heel betrayed me. 😱 I could barely walk. Panic mode: ON.

I quickly called my daughter, begging to borrow her shoes (as if her size 5 feet would save me 😅). Then I remembered: I always keep a pair of emergency flats in the car. My old, dusty, slightly-battered-but-faithful black flats a.k.a. my “walkabout shoes.” And just like that, those forgotten shoes became my Sunday best!

I wore them, got on that altar, and worshipped like never before. I danced, jumped, and praised with zero care about fashion. That day, I lived the scripture:

“The stone the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.” 🙌

💥 Now, Back to the Present…

During this year’s fast, God asked me to do something wild something completely out of my comfort zone:

“Give away all your shoes… and keep only three. One for church. One for work. And one slippers.”

Excuse me, what?! 😳

You don’t understand I just got some brand-new additions to my shoe family. My closet was beginning to look like a mini boutique. How can they be leaving me now?

But obedience is better than sacrifice.

So here I am about to step into a deep spiritual exercise I never imagined. Starting a week before my birthday, I’ll be posting some of my beloved shoes on my personal Instagram page. Each pair will be prayed over for a minimum of 5 minutes, and each will go out with a scripture card attached. This continues all through the month of September 2025.

It’s not just decluttering. It’s a divine assignment. And I’m here for it.

About the Book

My new book, “Put On Your Shoes”, is finally ready available now on Amazon and Selar. 🎉

In it, I explore:

The different types of shoes we wear (literally and spiritually),

The significance of each one,

And why certain seasons require specific shoes – alignment, preparation, purpose.

It’s a journey through faith, growth, setbacks, and comebacks. And it’s full of stories (some funny, some deep) that will bless you.

So welcome to my next chapter. I’m walking into it barefoot, spiritually speaking, trusting God to clothe me again, one purpose-filled step at a time.

I love you, but Jesus loves you more.

Let’s go change the world, one shoe at a time.
