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)

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...
