The eagerness, the anxiety, the pacing around, the heartache, the feelings of doubt… would my time ever come? When will the doctor call my name? When will my name be on the admissions list? When will my bus arrive? When will this traffic start to move? Waiting is not easy. But…

I was speaking to a friend the other day about personal style. Some of us have consciously or unconsciously curated certain fashion pieces that define our style. It’s easy to identify us with these pieces. However, that wasn’t the issue. The issue was in the confidence to pull off your personal style amidst spectators who would always talk. Any encounter with African aunts and uncles will give…

Hello! Welcome to day 4 of our 30 Days of Gratitude challenge. This month has been full of miracles for me. Things I wanted, I received. Even as tiny as a bow hair ribbon I wished for. I have had several reasons to laugh and to testify! This is so significant because less than a week ago I was crying in my pillow about how lost and stuck I felt. I couldn’t see the light. I just couldn’t. But as…

Hello, lovely one! How was your day? I’m glad you could join me on this 30 Days of Gratitude challenge. There’s something beautiful about the way gratitude shifts our focus from what’s not working in our lives to what is working. It reminds us that even though we aren’t where we wanted to be, we realize things can be worse; but they aren’t. We are still alive and with internet access for you to…

Photo Credit: Pexels.com They say the only constant in life is change. Yet, I still cringe everytime the winds of change blow my way. I saddle my seatbelt and hold on tightly to my seat because I have no idea what’s going to happen next. What if what I’m about to face is worse than what I’m leaving? (more…)

Photo Credit: Pexels.com It’s so easy to get lost, To see yourself moving to the back of the line, Because you’re not as pretty, as generous, as loving, as powerful, or as holy as the rest. All you have is God, And even this one thing feels so far from reach. In the multitude, It’s easy to feel unseen, unheard, Like you could disappear and no one would notice, You could be gone without a…

Closer than you know

I picked up my phone in my usual mindless fashion, scrolling through vacations I could not afford yet, and cute puppies doing their cute things. Everything represented a place or state I wasn’t in, but wanted to be in. As I scrolled with increased speed, a caption caught my eye. Yes, Instablog has a way of writing sensational captions that sometimes never relate to the story. This one was…

The quality of such father figures can determine to a large extent, the way the child turns out. That said. Is the idea of your earthly father messing with your knowledge of God? Has he become this person who…
