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...

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...

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...
