30 things I love about you: pt. 4-6

Hiii! It’s me again. Now to the next set of things I love about you: 

4. I love how you push me to not allow people rush me. 

I remember that one time in Papaye Osu when I had not yet made up my mind as to what meal I wanted. The lady at the counter was calling me to place my order because I was the next in line to be attended to. I was in such a rush to order just anything because I felt I was delaying the lady. Just when I was about to say just anything, you held me and asked why I felt compelled to place the order. I told you it was because the lady was slightly getting impatient. You pulled me to the side and said to the lady that we weren’t ready to order and so she should go ahead to serve those after us. You admonished me not to allow people rush me into things when I know I am not ready. Since that time, I often have that moment in mind when I feel like people are trying to rush me with their timelines.

5. I love the way you see me. 

I love the way you see me. I love the fact that you don’t only see me in the now but in the future as well. One of the things I love about you is your deep sense of awareness of who I am. Sem, believe me when I say that most of the men who came into my life were mostly concerned about the value I brought into their lives. They wanted me in their life because of what my presence in their lives would do for them in business, life, career, ministry, etc. No one ever said to me, “I see who you are and who you are destined to be, and I am committed to partnering with the Lord to bring it to pass.” No one. Thank you for exemplifying this, babe. 

6. I love your friendship. 

I love the fact that I knew you as a friend first. I truly appreciate those moments when I have said to you, “I need my friend” and you have put your “friend cap” on for me. I appreciate the fact that I can talk to you about everything and anything. Yes, I want you to be pleased with me but there is no reason to hide anything or to put up a front when it comes to you. Thank you for being my friend. 

I pray ABBA’s continued blessings over you, babe. I love you.

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher.  It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on.  Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me.  And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth.  After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times.  I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all f...

Daughter of the King by Jamie Grace ft. Morgan Harper Nichols

[Verse 1: Jamie Grace] They tell me I'm too young Tell me I'm not beautiful I'm not good enough I'm not worth anything at all They tell me I dream too much I got my head in the clouds Maybe I'm just hoping For something better than what I see now A world where every girl knows [Chorus 1: Jamie Grace] The Maker of skies, the Maker of seas The Maker of every beautiful thing He made you, He made you too The mountain high, the river wide He tells the sun when to set and rise And He made you, He made you too You're a daughter of the King So tell me, what does that make you? [Verse 2: Morgan Harper Nichols] So put your shoulders back Don't you know that you're beautiful You don't gotta tell 'em that, no Just walk around like you know And if you see our sister (if you see our sister) Looking like she forgot Like her dreams got crushed You better remind her [Chorus 1: Morgan Harper Nichols] The Maker of skies, the Maker o...

Day six: The perfect start

Waking up to pray has been extremely hard to do in the past few days. For some time now, I wake up in the mornings feeling more tired than I went to bed. And so although my eyes are open, it is a real struggle getting out of the bed. Initially, this morning, I was feeling bad about it. After a few minutes, I resolved to pray from my bed. I did that… and ended up sleeping at a point . It was better than nothing. That moment taught me that the perfect start is the one that happens from exactly where you are. There is a reason why God wants this relationship with us: aside from the fact that it is a love thing, God also knows that we truly and sincerely cannot make it in this life without Him. He Is not looking for a perfect daughter neither is He searching for a perfect son. He Is perfect and His perfection is enough for all of us. I remember those times when I would tell my spiritual father I was struggling to pray. He would say to me: Why don’t you ask the Lord to help you? Why d...
