Times Change... for real.

Today, I am working late.

Honestly, this is not how I anticipated my day to go.
At the same time, I am not surprised because I have realized that on the days I purpose in my heart to close early, those are the days "something comes up".

Anyway, it is all good. Like I keep saying, we prayed for this and so we will not complain. 

I was looking at my laptop's wallpaper and that got me in the right wavelength for today's Sharing Life moment. 

My wallpaper is a picture of my nephew (Chairman E) and me. It is a picture that was taken when I went for a tv interview for last year's Women In Worship concert. That day, I wasn't happy at the fact that I had to send my nephew to the TV station. But he was my responsibility in that season and so I didn't have a choice. 

I just remembered how in that season of not being employed, I would pray and wonder when this door of employment would open. 

Now, here I am, so employed to the point where sometimes, I pull late-nights just to get stuff done. 

Today, I just want to say to whoever is praying for that next chapter, next phase, next open door that, it comes. The times change and the seasons shift. 
When I celebrated my birthday 2weeks ago, I marveled at the pics I took. Just a year ago, my hair was unkempt, I wasn't employed and I didn't have any serious birthday plans. Now exactly a year later, the story was completely different. 

I just want to let you know that things don't stay the same forever, especially for those of us who are in Christ. Our end is His Glory and regardless the turbulence, uncertainty or concerns which may exist now, rest assured knowing that they won't last forever. 

And trust me, the change happens so fast. 

So rather than sitting idle, asking yourself and God, "When?", get ready. Build yourself. Prepare. Because when it is time, it is time. 

Like my Father in the Lord shared, better to be prepared and have no opportunity than to have the opportunity and not be prepared. 

God bless you, beloved, and I am looking forward to your testimony💃. 


Resting in His abiding love, 
Mary Magdalene. 

PS: Hey! thanks for the prayers, love and well-wishes on my birthday! God bless you!!!

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...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs".  I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit.     Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...
