WE ALWAYS RISE - Elvira Jordan





WE ALWAYS RISE - Elvira Jordan


Good Morning Beloved! 😊


I was having a conversation with someone and it’s funny how I was pondering on similar thoughts before her messages came in. 


I was reliving some aspects of my life and I honestly didn’t have anything to say to myself. Just me and my thoughts going back and forth, examining some of my decisions, things that have happened and how they should have happened. Just my tonight’s. 

 But when someone else shared a very similar story, one full of regrets, shame and loss, I could understand how she got to such state of mind, one that I don’t entertain for myself or anyone around me. As she shared her story, clarity came to me as I also poured out from my own well of strength.


Far from living in the past, sometimes we just can’t shake off the urge to look back into our past and identify areas where we have made mistakes, opportunities we have lost, decisions we took that went south and how much time we have wasted. 


One who is honest with themselves will know where they may have had it wrong, and only such honesty can propel us to the necessary changes we need in our lives.


However, for my friend who chatted me up to offload her issues, it wasn’t a problem of the past, it was about how to move forward after time lost and years wasted. As I spoke to her, it came to me, I also spoke to myself.


If we could go back in time with this knowledge and maturity we have now, we probably would do things differently. But then, we would have lost the good-bad experiences and missed out on the lessons learnt. We wouldn’t really be the people we are today.


How could we have known what was the right step to take, when we are not sooth sayers, neither can we predict the future? If we were born with a manual, a text guide or maybe terms and conditions of life, we would have all lived excellently. 


We would have been able to adjust our actions based on the outcomes we already know… In a game where you can always go back and undo mistakes, we will all be winners, won’t we?


And if we received “terms and conditions” before coming to earth, a lot of us would have willed not to be here at all. Then how can we experience life as it is?


Now that we are here, we have to take advantage of it and make the best that we can. Every wrong step and poor decision we have learnt from has pushed us to another stage where people who have never fallen may never reach.


If we fall 1,189 times, we will get up 1,189 times and keep moving. We don’t have the time to sit around and weep over the loses of the past. We are done licking our wounds. 


We will rise up and keep going.

It is only by moving we get to our destination.

No time is too late to start.

No fall is too severe to recover from.

No step is too big to take.


We face one day at a time, every day with a new resilience, strength from our previous falls, wisdom from our experiences, and a tough skin from all the bruises we have healed.


These will be the food to our body, fuel to our engine, bullets for our guns, fire to our souls and ink to our pens, with which we are rewriting our new stories.


Don’t waste another time on the ground by asking the ground why, or wondering how you got there.


We keep rising.

We always rise. 

We keep moving.


BIBLE VERSE: Psalm 37:23-24

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.


PRAYER: Dear Lord, we declare today that every positive word, action or effort we put into our lives will yield goodness, prosperity and success. Amen 🙏🏽 


Do have a Blessed Monday and a Successful Week ahead.

TIME IS NOT IN A HURRY - Elvira Jordan

TIME IS NOT IN A HURRY - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved! Have you ever been late for work or an event and you’re trying to meet up by doing everything in a hurry? You will see that as you’re trying to comb your hair in a hurry, the brush will fall off a couple of times for you to pick it up and continue. You may wear your jacket the wrong way and be forced to take it off and wear it again. All this will make you late the more. We must have experienced this one way or the other. Yesterday, I realized that we have just 4 months till the end of the year and I just shrugged it off because even though the year ran fast, “What Will Be Will Be”.  This realization may be triggering for some people, especially those who have grandeur plans for the year, lists of achievements, things they want to accomplish in 2025 and things like that. If you haven’t done what you think you need to do, the rush of the year may actually mess with your mind, making you feel like you’re being left behind....
