This past year has been a difficult one for us all and one of the things that I always think brings us closer together is the art of music. Today since it is the beginning of a new work week, I wanted to share a few Christian Artiste’s that in their own way, have impacted how I spend my time with God and of course, my friends and family in those moments.

I would be lying if I said that this woman has not changed my life. I would be lying if I said that my worship life has been the same since being introduced to her music randomly in a group chat. I would be lying. It is actually even more emotional for me because before writing this blog I was actually listening to some of her music and reflecting on where I was at that time versus now. I do think every time I need to get myself back in to a posture of worship, her worship sessions contribute to me being at that point. I also connect with her because I’m a cry-errrr. I cry a lot. I cry when I pray. I cry when I worship and I cry when it comes to God and people and everything really. I was exposed to a level of worship that I knew existed but felt to awkward to express because everyone worshipped way differently from how I truly wanted to, but this phenomenon woman really made me appreciate being a different worshipper and embracing it.
I initially intended for this blog to be about a few more person’s but I needed to really reflect in this moment and look at the mirror.
For years one of my biggest struggles was really worshipping in public. I don’t know what it is or what contributed to it but I would freely do it after church on my way home or even at home when I had a whole church service to do it. This has been something that I have been dealing with since I was really young and since quarantine and being introduced to this intimacy with God, there was this scale that was removed. The heavy weights and chains of trying to sound perfect versus meaning the words dissapeared and my focus really became having the right heart posture.
I know for a lot of people that means getting out of a comfort zone but when I tell you strongholds and breakthrough comes when you worship, I AM NOT CAPPING.
There were a lot of things that I saw God do the moment I gave it all up in worship. I- I’m thinking of doing a blog on worship because there is so much to unpack and discuss. I know that this really is not even for me to say, “oh I love her” but it also is for someone that really needs to see that their worship experience is not something that is restricted to the 5 songs we sing and rinse at church and then carry on with the other items but it is where we dine with God. We forget about everything happening around us and we really zone in on what God has done for us.
I do hope that just thinking about your personal experience in worship was refreshing, because I stan someone realising that they are not the same as they were last year!! I do hope for those who have never even heard about Steff, be blessed in her ministry, and it leads you to intimacy with God – that is my passion for everyone; to have and experience INTIMACY WITH GOD.
This is me dragging myself now but, not me just finding out that she preaches as well. I’ll definitely tell you guys about it. I’ve only watched part of a video on Intagram so far and I must say, I stan a crying prophetic worshipping Word deliverer.
Do tell me which song is your favourite from her. For me it’s these three…
