2025: The Year of Pruning, Positioning, and Refining…

2025 EXHAUSTED Me…It EXPOSED ME to ME..the parts I hidden, the WOUNDS I ignored, and the STRENGTH I didn’t know I had…It EXPOSED the TRUTH about those who said they LOVED me but SHOWED me their LOYALTY had LIMITS…


It REMINDED Me that not everyone who says “I LOVE YOU” MEANS it, and not everyone who LOSES You deserves another CHANCE…I LEARNED that LOVE isn’t proven by WORDS, but by WHO STAYS when it’s no longer CONVENIENT…

2025 BROKE Me…but the BREAKING was a BLESSING disguised as EMBARRASSMENT…

It wasn’t until I YIELDED that 2025 became a year of HEALING…a year of great PURGING, REDIRECTION, and ALIGNMENT and a year of TRUE DELIVERANCE from things that had held me CAPTIVE for years. But I found My TRUTH, GROWTH in DISCIPLINE and GRACE in OBEDIENCE…

It taught me TRUE INTENTIONALITY…to move with PURPOSE, not PRESSURE…


It taught me the ART of ACCOUNTABILITY and the CONSEQUENCES of DISOBEDIENCE…


It taught me REAL SURRENDER…I had to BELIEVE He was working even when I couldn’t see it…

It redefined my PURPOSE for GATHERING in God’s House, shifting my focus off of people and placing more REVERENCE on God…I learned that excuses from a HURTING place can make you feel UNSAFE even in SACRED SPACES…Because excuses are often just COMFORTABLE HURT…a way to PROTECT what needs HEALING…My FEELINGS were very VALID, but when PAIN became My LENS, even what’s SACRED can start to look UNSAFE…

So it taught me TRUE HONOR…how to SERVE from WHOLENESS, not WOUNDS…


It taught me how to FOCUS on ME and to SAY NO without guilt…

It taught me how to GET TO KNOW ME…how to TRULY LOVE MYSELF beyond the version I thought I had to be to please others…

My WORTH spoke LOUD…I don’t have to be TOLERATED to be ACCEPTED…


It taught me how to CUT OFF ACCESS to ME when My Mental Health demanded it…So in BOLDNESS and with BOLDNESS I CHOOSE ME unapologetically understanding the value of PEACE and PROTECTION…

I now know the HEALTH in AUTHENTIC LOVE, because My LOVE never held LIMITS or CONDITIONS…


2025 I became more TEACHABLE…

2025 made me more MATURE…


I became VULNERABLE to God and My SECRET place became more SECURE…


It taught me SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY and how to SHOW UP with PURPOSE…


2025…FEAR had to LOOSE ME…I was reminded that there is no FAILURE IN GOD and that TRUTH gave me PERMISSION to DREAM again and FINISH what I STARTED…

2025 was a year of STRETCHING…I fought God but I also fought for WHERE I AM TODAY…

2025 was a year of PROCESS…I couldn’t take NO DETOURS. Every detour I tried to take, reminded me how dare I keep STEPPING out of the process just to PLEASE my FLESH…I had to accept what I couldn’t change…It was a season of RESTORATION and REVELATION…a PROCESS that demanded my SILENCE without LOSING my VOICE…I knew when to SPEAK and when to be SILENT…I TALKED less but CRIED and PRAYED More…

2025 was a year of RECOVERY…Quietly reshaping my life through CONSISTENT INTERCESSION and SURRENDERED PRAYER, REMINDING me that intercession is sustained by consistency and prayer by PROPER POSITIONING…

I was DISCONNECTED from what DRAINED me and RECONNECTED to what RESTORED me.


2025 TESTED my FAITH but PROTECTED my POSTURE…

I learned what to ENTERTAIN and what not to…
I picked my battles WISELY, if it didn’t EDIFY, I left well enough alone.

2025 OPENED MY EYES…

Nothing was WASTED…

I am not the same person I was a few months ago…Months ago, I was just SURVIVING, Now I’m choosing to be SUSTAINED…My YES said YES…

2026 I Stepped into a YEAR of BECOMING…

Another LEVEL…

A DEEPER PROCESS…

AND an I PRESS…

This year 2026 I’ll SMILE and LAUGH more than I CRY and if I happen to CRY, I won’t CRY HARDER than I PRAISE…

I feel more WISER, more AWARE, and WAY MORE DEPENDENT on God… 

Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭13-14 KJV‬‬

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭


Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭KJV‬

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”


‭‭‬
Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
‭‭

Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬

“being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”

Consistent Struggle

We Become

What We Want To Be

By Consistently

Being What We Want To Become Each Day!

Richard G. Scott

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

— Oscar Wilde.

Welcome to Oglatha’s TIE (Truth, Inspiration, Empowerment). I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

I titled this “Consistent Struggle” because how committed are we to staying in a struggle we was never designed to stay in. We are suppose to be the PRODUCT of deliverance and freedom. We have become comfortable in the Consistent Struggles of Life when everything we need is right in front of us telling us to go back to school, apply for jobs we don’t qualify for, sign up for classes, get starting writing the book, go get our credit worked on, SAVE, stop settling, etc.

We have to stop being COMFORTABLE in the CONSISTENT STATE of BEING and doing enough to just get by and or being satisfied in the struggle, waiting for God to do something He’s already equipped and paved the way for us to do.

Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, season after season we PROCLAIM, DANCE, SHOUT, PRAY, YELL, etc. over the same CONSISTENT STRUGGLE without ever really UTILIZING the Gift God’s placed in us. God has already given us the GREEN LIGHT better yet He’s given us the tools, strategies, knowledge, and YES as He did David in 1 Samuel 30:8 “Pursue and Recover ALL.”

The question to pardon on:

Will You Stay CONSISTENTLY STRUGGLING?
