Hello and welcome,
My name is Takiyah, which means Poise and Righteousness and after months; yes, months of trying to find a name for the blog the Lord laid it on my heart to use the meaning of my given name hence the name of this blog.
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Poise as “a stably balanced state: equilibrium. Easy self-possessed assurance of manner : gracious tact in coping or handling. A particular way of carrying oneself.”
Merriam-Webster dictionary also defines Righteousness as ” Morally right or justifiable. Genuine.” Synonyms include all right, decent, ethical, good, honest, honorable, just, nice, right, right-minded, straight, upright, and virtuous.
I wanted to create this blog about my life that express who I am and my experiences in everyday life. Prayerfully this blog will bring God glory and encourage others along way as I continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18)
I am married to a wonderful man, we have two dogs both German Shepherds, one male and one female who are both spoiled! I have been a registered nurse for nine years working in both inpatient and outpatient settings and love it. I truly believe that nursing is a calling from God, and it is a gift and blessing to be able to be a nurse to care for others.
I enjoy reading, shopping, purses, and shoes just to name a few things about me. I also enjoy spending time with my family that includes my parents, mother-in-law, brothers, sisters & brothers-in-law, grandparents, nieces & nephews, and host of other family and friends.
One of my favorite bible verses’ is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” I hope that this verse brings you comfort and peace as it does me, when we rest on the promises of God, He provides peace that surpasses all understanding.
Sincerely,
Takiyah
