The men...

AY came; and then there was Nhyira, then Verone, then came the Pastor and then the other one who always circled in and out.

Ohh... not forgetting the others who clearly had hopes. 

She was in there because they saw her potential.
One was direct, at least: "I see that you are one who is going to go very far in life and I want to be part of it". He said it in another way. It still was the same.

It was either her beauty or the clear sight of her future... she all could tell would be great.

"Who will come to me because he wants to serve me as much as I want to do same for him"
"Who will say both in words and in deeds that he truly cared for her and was concerned about her future and not about what he was going to get in return?"

Ohhh... there was one she didn't include. He.

He had expressed love and care... in words...
She wasn't willing to give in.
She took her mind of it.
She wasn't going to allow herself get hurt all over again.

She loved when they spoke over the phone.
She lit up when she heard him smile or giggle. She liked it.

But the 'circler' was a hard one to forget so easily...

...she was willing to go the extra mile for him.
She wanted to serve him in any way possible...even the unimaginable.
She told God about how she felt for him.
She knew him. 
He was selfish. But, she pay attention to her gut.
He wanted to eat his cake and have it. 
Eventually, her senses came back in good time...

But, she couldn't help being hurt at her own self.
she couldn't believe that she was capable of letting go of herself and her dignity because of the 'circler'.
He played with her emotions. He rocked it like a cradle.
...and still she stayed...

Thank God she left. 

Yet, she was so embellished by this last one that the words "I love you" hurt her and scared her at the same time... even when He told her.

Trust? Her defenses were up. 
She wouldn't dare give herself on a silver platter any more.

Another one? She thought to herself as He came to mind.

She had been thinking about him all weekend. 
He knew she was was a hurting one when they last spoke.
He told her not to dwell on the past.

He reminded her that "perfect love casts away all fear"
What if they were mere words?
What if he has a glib tongue?

Yet, she couldn't take her mind off him.

"Lord, please help me find You", she prayed.

She knew too well that she needed that filling only Daddy could give her.
 "Lord, touch me. I need Your affection"...

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...

Thank You October 2025

 As the minutes draw near to mark October's ending, my desire is to etch these memories in time.  October was tough... financially...  But, October taught me what it means to hold on to the Lord Jesus and His Word.  October challenged me to stand and not look for the easy way out.  October taught me to rest in love and not performance.  October taught me that indeed, help comes from the strangest places.  October taught me that ABBA has not forgotten.  October taught me... all in due time.  October taught me to trust.  October spoke to me.  October encouraged me.  October showed me that ABBA speaks and more importantly, that I hear Him and do not miss it...  For someone who has battled with spiritual inferiority complex due to "church" hurt, October held my heart close and showed me I'm not lost.   October touched my heart... maybe that is why I didn't want to watch this day go like any ordinary day...  Octo...
