The fond memories of Christmas
Dear Reader, Merry Christmas! This year, we’ll go through the fond memories. How was it like as a child? What are the fond memories you have of Christmas? Tomatoes. As a child, most years, my nuclear family and I would journey to Lagos from where we lived in Nigeria. Christmas mornings were dedicated to the […]
Contrary to popular belief
Yesterday, as I watched a book review, I heard the writer say this; Most times, the Holy Spirit gives us actions contrary to popular belief. This line piqued my interest, so I decided to write an article from it. When Jesus was leaving, He promised to send a helper. This helper is the Spirit of […]
Leading to Jesus
On Monday, my friend and I marked the highlights of our year. Humorously, we were going to forget one of the most important events, our graduation. Today, I began thinking about how these experiences led and are still leading to Jesus. How? Why? What? When I started planning my graduation, I had an idea. My […]
How to speak the truth in love
This year has been such a roller coaster of emotions, at least for me. From people speaking the truth however they want, to words being uttered out of context. How to speak the truth in love stems from a place of understanding. Understanding that the truth not spoken in love will not have the effect […]
In case you’re unsure, God can fill the void
In May of this year, I remember crying because a family lost their breadwinner. It was so emotional for me because it was a young family with little children. Although I’d been praying for them, I couldn’t help but think of the void left. At once, I felt the Holy Spirit begin to ask me […]

Are you pulling your weight?
Before this rowing experience, the words “pulling your weight” meant nothing special to me. However, I’m now a changed person and I’ll tell you why. This is the link to the first part of this series. Please read it before you go on. Before that faithful Saturday, I honestly believed I was pulling my weight. […]
Stay Calm
A few weeks ago, I ventured beyond my comfort zone. After some encouragement from my Supervisor, I decided to try rowing, although water and I are like A and Z. Stay Calm is the first part of the takeaway lessons from this experience. As it was my first time on a canoe, you should know […]
Friends not gods
Your friends are not gods. Those were the first words I heard when I woke up one morning. I didn’t think so much of it, until the Holy Spirit began to point me in the right direction. If you’ve been here for some time, you’d have read the article I wrote about having friends you’re […]
