3/8 RELAPSE

I got the chance to work for a minister I met in the course of my Songs of Solomon era.
I was kept close to Daddy(God) by work.
Yes, I was working for him and for Daddy but my heart and my mind weren't settled.
I was there physically but spiritually absent... I was doing my job.
I came across a book whiles going through my boss' books. It was titled, 'The dangers of premature exposure'. 
'Could this have been what I went through?', I thought to myself.

Yet...

... I was hurt.
I was furious.
How could he have done this to me...

Anyway, I vowed never to look in the church to find love.
I retreated from the CCR...although I was going to church.

I was no longer passionate about the things of God.
Prophecy was far far from it.

I joined a group on campus... I liked the group.
It pushed me towards the path of liberalism.
I was influenced to be very open-minded.
I realised that I was flowing with the tide.

...care free...

The world tugged at me.
I went for a drink up and I was my old self again...grinding with the boys.

...it was a dark place...

My old self came knocking.
"return to us", she said.
I was in a wrong place.
The inclination to return to the world was so high.
I left campus.
I went to family.
I was scared to take a shower or be left alone in the room.
"Come to me", she said. I almost did...but for one friend, Mr. Theophilus Tuffour who was adamant.

Going back wasn't impossible.
But the emptiness.

I could have returned to the world.
But the fear of the emptiness that would lay it's filthy hands on me held me back!

The emptiness...i didn't want to go through that hollow again...

So I chose to stay.

Well, to stay in the light but not to be of it.

I met this guy in the group.
He was good-looking... the ladies' man.
He had two personalities... I was becoming like him. #lukewarm

The advice from friends to stay away was a lot more than I could fathom.
John said, "Mary no no not this one."
But my attraction to him was great.
He was a bittersweet pill...

The group took almost all of my time.
I was determined to succeed there.

I partially left the music ministry.
I wasn't ready to go back there.
I didn't want to.
(Well, I didn't want to do a solo too...'all the better', I thought to myself)

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes

February 17th - ...but We used to be friends....

Have you ever felt tears well up in your chest so hard and heavy that you know you could easily burst into heaves of tears in any given moment? I had one of such moments today.  The first reading at Mass today was from the Book of Jeremiah 17:5-8 and there is a portion that talks about how accursed is the man who puts his trust in man and in his own strength. It talks about the dryness such a man encounters and how this man will never see prosperity.  I was convicted by this Scripture because it showed so clearly that the condition of my heart has been like one of such a man. Why am I saying so? Aside getting my second degree, I am trying to be intentional about my Spiritual growth and about music ministry in church. Basically, I am trying to be intentional about becoming.  ("Becoming" is the expression I give to my quest to attain my fullest expression as His daughter).  ...but that has just been the problem... "I am trying to become"  Having th

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing,  especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely.  After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means:  if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure.  I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be unable to repay us
