Day thirty-five: What do you do when your mind is filled with so much?

I had myself in a state where it seemed like everything in my life was craving my attention... all at once.

I mean, how do you cope when you have so much going on and it seems like you just don’t know what to do, where to start from or where to turn? Actually, that is not true. There is a solution on what to do and there is a place you can turn to… Jesus Christ. You start with Jesus Christ.

Beloved, there is a truth about the Secret Place of the Most High...and it is REAL !!!

I noticed that the reason I was struggling was because I hadn’t sought the Lord in that Secret Place. The more time I spent outside the Secret Place, the more I lost clarity on a lot of issues, the more I lost sight of what mattered most and the more I lost myself trying to put all the pieces together.

You see, after you have tasted Jesus Christ in His Secret Place, it is impossible to carry on in life without it. The point is, the level of peace and wholeness you receive in the presence of Jesus makes all the difference. I haven’t seen His face yet but I do know that the more I seek Him in that place of solitude, the more our hearts are joined together.

It is a beautifully unexplainable thing…

There is an intertwining of my spirit with His the moment I seek Him in the Secret Place. I begin to seek His will and I lose sight of what I thought was important.

His interests become my interest.

My soul enters a state of wholeness I cannot explain. The moment I lose that connection by making other tasks and people priority, the more I lose myself and the more things become a mess. Oh Lord, have mercy!

So beloved, whenever you feel like your mind is filled with so much, ask yourself whether you have sought the Lord in His Secret Place. You will be surprised where my Secret Place. But my friend, it is better to have one than not have at all.

Jesus Christ IS Home. Indeed, Home is truly where the heart is.

I love you and God loves you greatly!

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...

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...

30 things I love about you: pt. 7-9

Happy Monday, baby! Can’t believe we are a week away. I am nervous… in a good day. I pray you have a great day on that day. 7. I love the way you pray for me Baaaabe! Thank you for always praying for me. I get to see your heart every time you pray for me. On the hardest days, you are there to cover me in prayer. On the happy days, you are there to thank ABBA with me. Thank you. I love it when you pray. Bruh! You pray so well, by ABBA’s Grace. I love you. Thank you. 8. I love how you seek opportunities to correct my childhood traumas. I remember that one time I shared the story of how we used to manage food in my home as a child. I told you about how our stew was always little with a lot of rice or yam or whatever. I remember how on that day I shared this with you, we were having lunch at your parents’. I recall how you went to the kitchen and fetched so much stew for me. It meant a lot and on so many occasions, I have seen you seek opportunities to correct ...
