To say that I am very excited about the new look of my blog, is an overstatement! Actually, that’s not true, because though I don’t exhibit any visible signs of this internal euphoria, I am truly super-excited.
This upgrade of my domain and the effort I have exerted to express myself creatively through this blog symbolizes new beginnings for me.
See, I’ve been told quite a number of times that I do too much or that I can’t be involved actively in all the gifts God has given me. One person actually told me one time that I was finishing activities for the rest to do.
Her exact words were, “If you do everything, what do you expect the rest of us to do?”
I wish I could properly express the laughter emojis that I picture in my mind at this point because her insecurity was clearly coming from a place of not knowing herself well enough, and not believing that her own abilities were enough. A person who is insecure will naturally want to pull another person to the level they are at in their minds.
Thankfully, I paid her no attention.
On a different occasion, I asked a business man for guidance on how to utilize every talent God has given me fully, because I recognized that to those whom much is given, much is expected. Much to my disappointment, despite my desire to steward my gifts well and fully, I was told, “No, it can’t be done.”
Thankfully, I paid him no attention either.
I have continued to do many things and to exploit my creative potential as much as I can. I am not saying that I am perfect at everything, certainly not. I simply seek to give my very best every time. And even when I seek this, sometimes I still fall short. But that’s okay. I desire that when I stand before my God, unutilised potential will not be one of the things I cry over, not that there will be any tears there, but you get my point.
I am presenting myself here in a new light, with all of me, or at least some major parts of me. Some of you might not know that I do some of the things I am sharing on this blog/personal website. And I like that. I like that we are discovering new dimensions of eachother because I am certain that you too are not a one-hit-wonder. God made us all so multi-faceted and we should stop limiting what we expect from ourselves and others.
Allow me to welcome you to Keziah, the limitless creative. It’s not that I have an infinite level of creativity. That’s not what I mean but rather that there are no boundaries to my creativity and I celebrate my limitlessness because I am truly gifted.
Through this blog, I hope to share more of me with you and I am super-excited that I am going to write about more of the Creative Arts than I previously did. The Precious Series which was mainly for encouragement has been superseded by www.keziahelaineayikoru.com in all her fullness, or at least most of it – the parts I will show you.
Stay blessed and remember: we can all be all God created us to be, in the seasons that He has commissioned us to be, and we can do so without apologizing for our light! We are never too much. God made no mistakes.
With love,
Keziah.
P.s. All blog posts from the previous domain still exist here, under ‘Inspiration’ on the menu bar. This is simply an upgrade. Tell your friends to tell your friends. Follow, like, subscribe.
P.p.s. I also have a youtube channel now. See you too on that side.
I share your sentiments Keziah. Thank you for being vulnerable.
Quick question: How long did it take you to be able to do all your activities well?
Like you, I have been advised to be a master of one trade instead of a jack of all trades.

Hi Sheelzie12, It’s nice to see you here. It is constant work in progress. The more I do many things, the better I get at managing many things and the more I need to keep tweaking, learning, unlearning and relearning. So, it’s not a thing that has a fixed timeframe. It’s a lifelong process that you get better at as you continuously clarify your priorities. Even for us that do many things, maintaining the right priorities within different seasons is key. I will do a series on the ‘how’ to do many things.
