1/8 Green leaf, free flight

Touch down, KNUST.

I was glad to have gained admission to KNUST.
I prayed about my roommates and I got the very best of them. I loved my bed. It was a top bed. I loved the position because i had the opportunity to post items on the wall and use my wallpaper too.
I really had some great laughs in that room...hahaha...some really great laughs.

I was making new friends...of course, I realised most people liked me because of the nature of my hair and the haircut. #CurlyHead
I realise that I was so free to the extent that I wasn't exercising some level of restrain in my dealings with the new friends I was making.

As soon as the realisation came, I quickly enrolled in the 'Life in the Spirit Seminar(LSS)' organised by the Catholic Charismatic Renewal(CCR) on campus.

The lessons helped a great deal and I found myself back on track.

I was very passionate about spiritual things. I joined the drama and dance ministry of the CCR because I was good at the two and I believed I would be useful there. I had a few ministrations while in the ministry.

But then, there was this prompting I couldn't shake off. I had a very strong leading to join the music ministry. It wasn't a leading I loved.

Let me tell you about my singing life.

Yes, I sing. I joined choirs where I sang from tenor to alto to soprano. Aside that, I mostly sang in the bathroom.

In St. Louis SHS, I was asked to chant the Psalms during Mass by a Reverend Sister who heard me sing and believed I could.

Well, after that time, all the Psalms I chanted for Mass were serious burnt offerings to the Lord. I remember how the entire student-body most times would laugh at me. At one point, even the sisters couldn't stifle their laughter anymore.

And here I was, in Uni and Daddy was prompting me to join the contemporary music ministry where there was a high probability of me leading a song someday.

Well, I told my drama Head about it and he offered to help me in prayer to know whether indeed, Daddy wanted me to...

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...

An Invitation to Intimacy

I gave my life to Jesus in St. Louis Senior High School. I am very sure I had gone forward for altar calls many times before that. But St. Louis was different. I was conscious; I was aware of myself and my environment. I knew I needed God in my life. To be honest, the issues of life drove me to take God seriously. A friend had had a dream about her and me and the moment she shared it, I knew I had to let go of the old garment and take on the new. So, I joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) meetings and that was where my life changed. That encounter led me to a great relationship with the Lord. I read the Scriptures (my favourite was the Book of Psalms because I used that to pray a lot). It was in St. Louis I learnt I was never alone (why do you think I support Liverpool FC so much?). I learnt to rely on Him alone. When I entered the University, I realized a newfound freedom and observed (by the Grace of God) that if I didn’t take my spirituality seriousl...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs". I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit. Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...
