The Christian Woman And Her Hormones…

Ladies, this one is for you so lads you might want to skip this one or keep reading, I really don't mind. But this is coming from a woman's perspective. Girls, we have all experienced this before - where you've spotted a good looking guy in the corner of your eye. You quickly turn away…

#SoloStaysWithSatbo Edinburgh

As part of one of the few things I wanted to challenge myself to do was solo travel. I don't know why I have this fear of travelling alone. It isn't an irrational fear though, I believe it is a fairly rational one. For some reason, I have this fear of dying abroad which makes…

Welcome to Her Own Magnificat!

This is the official post signposting a new beginning on this blog. Previously known as Ephphtha Heart, I opted to change the name of the blog to Her Own Magnificat with all new logos and header. I felt like Ephphatha Heart as a name had served its purpose and truly 2018 was a year where…

A Letter To My 15 Year Old Self…

Dear younger Satta, Whew chile, where do I start? You won't realise this but life is sweet! Don't let Skins fool you. Life after GCSEs moves mad!

The No-Testimony Testimony

Hey guys! It has DEFINITELY been a while! I’m so sorry! Summer kinda got me carried away. That saying that goes, ‘time flies’ is so accurate. It was July yesterday and now all of a sudden, it’s now towards the end of August. But I hope everyone is well! I recently was just thinking about…

Gideon And Insignificance – Part 1

Has anyone read the story of Gideon? You know the one - the geezer who, with an army of ONLY 300 men, destroyed - no - OBLITERATED an enemy described as 'a swarm of locusts' and their camels were like 'grains of sand on the seashore!' There were too many of them to count! Absolute…

Seeing Yourself In The Light Of Christ

Before meeting Christ, how you see yourself is like looking at yourself in a mirror in a hot, steamy bathroom. You can’t see yourself clearly. The steam fogs up the mirror and you can only see a blurry version of yourself. The steam is a metaphor for the things we tend to put our identity…

Suicide Before You See This Tear…

Suicide before you see this tear fall down my eyes... (Shout out if you know where this lyric is from!) But it is the very motto people scream in the quietness of their hearts. They would rather die than let someone see them cry out of the pain they feel, or just be vulnerable. It…

#PainLessons By Joseph

I’ve been trying to do the Bible in a year this year and January went really well. And I’m quite behind in February but doing my best to catch up. In my catch-up time, I was able to read Joseph’s story, pretty much all in one go. One thing that I took from his life…
