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 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...

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...
