Welcome
To TAG your blessings
A weird mix
None of my relatives buy the idea of speaking about Jesus, my Saviour and Cameroon, my home country:
- Both do not match
- You will confuse your readers
- Separate the two concepts
is what they say. But hey, this is who I am, a Christian and a Cameroonian, so this is what you get.
Hence here you can read about...

How it started
TAG your blessings was born on the 22nd of April 2018 as a project to bring comfort and enlightenment to a young Christian audience on Instagram principally, before expanding its scope to all age groups through this blog and a Facebook page in March 2020.
As I actively started Bible journaling, I really wanted to share with the world all the excitement it procured, and also share how practical the Scriptures are in our day-to-day lives.

During my graduate studies in an international program, a lot of projects were based on fixing what was wrong in our home countries.
Been so far from home, the net was my number one source for findings, until I realised there was so little information out there on Cameroon culture and lifestyle. Not even fake news!
Given that I already had a platform to put out my Christian thoughts, I fashioned it to add to it my second-greatest passion, Cameroon.
what i believe in
My Creed
I believe in Intentional Love — the act of choosing to show love despite all odds. Because love is not just a pleasant feeling, but it is manifested in actions taken, even towards someone who is not particularly appreciated.
I believe in justice and equity — no one is higher or more important than another because being different does not necessarily mean being better or worse.
I believe in the weak, the poor, and the rejected generally, and more specifically I believe that good things can come from the young, from women, and from Cameroon.
Lastly, I believe that everything we do daily, big or small, consciously or not, religious or secular is always spiritual. That there is no dissociation whatsoever between our ‘real’ life and ‘spiritual’ life; our job and where we serve in the Kingdom of God, our ‘normal’ life, and ‘Christian’ life. I believe in the dual nature of being earthly, yet godly, and the practicality of our spiritual lives into this physical world.
