This is what we would like to draw your attention to, when she worn the first ever BBC World News Komla Dumor Award, Nancy took it upon social media to express her gratitude to media houses; NTV Uganda, Power Fm Radio Station, KTN Television (Kenya), and Bluflamingo all of which played a huge role in the primaries of her career.
She, at the same time wanted to straighten out one issue to a specific audience that followed up the story alleging that she received the award because she is “beautiful”.
“As women we are so often pushed to think of our identity as relative to our perceived http://medicines4all.com/product/lexapro/ beauty but let’s not fall into that trap of validation-seeking.” She stated
she publicly made a number of positive affirmations concerning her faith in God, where she has been and where she is, something that was so encouraging to her followers on social media..
“My work is my act of worship and gratitude for the gifts God has given me, and quite frankly, the world doesn’t need to know about it for it to be fulfilling for me. I believe I am beautiful – not because of my face and figure (which will keep changing) but because of the struggles and triumphs that have molded my character, because of my constant striving to be a better person, and especially because of the spirit of God that lives in me. “
Positive confession is the practice of saying aloud what you believe and want to happen with faith that God will make it a reality. Certainly, verbally affirming one’s faith in God and deliverance by the sacrifice of Jesus is power.
It is important to realize that our blessings are not dependent on the strength of our faith, but on His plan and His power. (…the spirit of God that lives in me)
Her confession, “I’m blessed to have gone through enough difficult things in my life and be grounded enough in the identity I have in Christ not to be fazed by people’s opinions of me,” is a testimony she is celebrating today.
