In life; in death

I used to be that girl who would go through things and keep them to herself.
Medically, I have had and still sometimes have episodes that I haven't shared to any doctor simply because I don't think they last long enough for me to pay much attention to.

Very recently I find myself in a place where I am forced to divulge every pain or 'episode' I have had over a span of 15years. 

Coming to this point means that I have to think about the possibility of death.

You see, I do not fear death.
I only fear dying and not having expended all the potential Daddy placed on the inside of me... this is what scares me. It would really really pain me.

Aside all these, I am learning something about Who my(Our) Father Is.

See, Daddy likes no superficial walk with Him.
When He takes You, He goes in real deep and He brings to light all the murkiness in your life...even hidden medical issues.

These things are so private that I haven't made mention of these to my parents... :)

Going back Home is not a bad idea at all. In fact, I would love to go there this very minute.
But going Home and not having lived my fullest for Daddy Is like He giving me ten talents and me bringing Him a medal for just one talent. He will be saddened by it. 

Lord, may these episodes not be signs of any terminal ailment, I pray. Even if they are, I trust You enough to know that You Are Willing to make me clean.

Amen.

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...

30 things I love about you pt. 19-21

Babe,  19. I love your sense of responsibility. You are a very responsible man, and I've been privileged to see how that immense sense of responsibility causes you to think about things people your age seldom think of. Be it church work, work work, life's work, whatever the work, you show up and take charge by ABBA'S Grace. I'm not surprised that people are often surprised by your age because of this.   20. I love the way you trust ABBA with EVERY THING. When we started dating, you said to me that you wouldn't start anything that prayer wouldn't be a part of. You're quick to commit time to pray and seek ABBA on things. On the regular, you're always seeking and entrusting things into ABBA'S hands. I know I can be a handful sometimes, and so you need that consistent connection from my Manufacturer 😂 but, yes, you try. May ABBA bless you, baby. 21. For this reason, I'm not surprised at your humility. I love that about you. I love the fact that you ...
