Writing RN

Goals… Hopes… Dreams…

Do you set personal goals for yourself?

I love setting goals. I do it at the beginning of the year and check in pretty much monthly. And mid-month. Also weekly. You get the idea. 

One of my goals was to finish my RN to BSN program this year and I am 5 assignments away from being done! (And also $700 for that last tuition payment lol). The end is in sight. I can’t believe it because it seemed so long ago that I started, and like that degree was so far away.

Another goal of mine was to finish this book I bought by Ursula K. LeGuin called Always Coming Home. It’s a post-apocalyptic type novel but is full of poetry, language, and stories from the people inhabiting the land.

I’m struggling with this one, I must say. 

There are other goals I had too, but then, as it sometimes happens, life and (more accurately) my landlord had other plans. Through no fault of our own, we are being ousted so the owner can do other things with the property, and we have a month or so to gather our things and vacate. 

Now if you’ve ever looked for a place to live, you know it can be, well, somewhat time-consuming and costly. Time-consuming, especially.

So we’ve started looking. I’m looking for the silver lining. Praying a lot. Doing the leg work and letting go of the rest. 

Will I finish that book this year? Yeah. I’ll squeeze in time for that! After all, we still have two whole months left in 2026. But also, more imminently, I will be moving. 🙂 

What are you planning on doing with what’s left of this year?

Thank you for reading on this lovely Sunday eve. I hope that if you are a renter, your landlord lets you stay as long as you wish. It’s fall where I live, which means lots of colorful leaves and windy days. If you have any moving tips, feel free to drop a comment! If you like what I write, please subscribe. Thanks! 🙂

    *THE MINISTRY OF WISDOM WISDOM TO DISCERN TRUTH FROM LIES (PART 4 THE FRUITS THAT EXPOSE EVERY LIAR)*

    You asked for it. This is where we stop praying against liars and start _recognizing_ them

    Jesus did not say pray to know them, He said by their fruits you shall know them Matthew 7:20 A liar can fast, can prophesy, can cry for you, but he cannot fake fruits for long. Time will always expose him

    Here are the 7 fruits that expose every liar, no matter how anointed he looks

    1. THE FRUIT OF INCONSISTENCY He says one thing today, another thing tomorrow
    A truthful man is consistent. A liar has to remember his lies. That is why today he loves you, tomorrow he hates you, without reason. _Proverbs 19:9 says, A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish._ Watch the inconsistency in his words, his stories don’t add up. Today he was in Lagos, tomorrow he says he never traveled. Take note.

    *2. THE FRUIT OF FLATTERY AND HURRY He praises you too much and rushes you too much.*
    A liar knows you love praise, so he uses it as bait. He will call you my destiny helper” after knowing you for 2 days. And then he will say do it now, now, now, or you will miss it. Why the hurry? Because wisdom needs time, but deception expires with time. _Proverbs 29:5 says, A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet._ Real love corrects you, fake love always claps for you.

    3. THE FRUIT OF SECRECY He hates light and accountability
    He will tell you, Don’t tell anybody, it’s just between us. He doesn’t want a second witness. He doesn’t want you to ask counsel. Every genuine thing from God can stand in the light. _Ephesians 5:11 says, Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them._ If he is afraid of verification, he is hiding fabrication

    *4. THE FRUIT OF GREED Money is always at the center of his story
    Listen, every conversation ends with money. Every vision ends with sow a seed or “bring capital You are not a son to him you are a sponsor. 1 Timothy 6:10 says, For the love of money is the root of all evil A true man helps you to grow, a liar helps himself to grow through you.

    *5. THE FRUIT OF NO PAST RECORD He has no traceable fruit, only mouth.*
    Ask him, who have you helped before? Who can testify of your past faithfulness? He gets angry. Because he has no history, only history of stories. _Luke 16:10 says, He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much._ If he failed in small, he will fail you in big.

    *6. THE FRUIT OF DRAMA AND BLAME Everybody betrayed him, everybody is wicked except him.*
    If every ex-boss is wicked, every ex-friend is evil, every ex-church hurt him the common denominator is him. A liar is always the victim. He never repents. Wise people take responsibility, foolish people transfer blame. _Proverbs 28:13 says, He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy._

    *7. THE FRUIT OF NO PEACE After talking to him, you lose your peace.*
    This is the ultimate test. Even if his words sound perfect, check your spirit after he leaves. Did your peace go? Did confusion enter? _James 3:17 wisdom from above is peaceable. 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion._ If you lose peace after every conversation with him God is not in that counsel. Your spirit is detecting what your ears cannot

    *HEAR ME:*

    From today, don’t just listen to what a man says, watch what his life says. Don’t just hear his promise, check his pattern. A man can fake his voice but he cannot fake his fruit for six months

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION OVER YOU

    I anoint your eyes today every hidden liar around your destiny is exposed!
    Your family will not be fed to wolves in sheep’s clothing
    Your business will not be sold to deceivers
    You will not marry a lie and call it love

    Father, in the name of Jesus, give Your people a discerning heart. As You gave Solomon, give us eyes to see, ears to hear and courage to disconnect from every lie that looks like love, in Jesus mighty name Amen
