Balance

Hey Sharing Life fam! 

Legit, I think I need to find a cool intro for you all. I almost always struggle to find the words. But, vim dey!  

Today's post is me thinking out loud... you know... 

I have seen that in life, if I don't make a conscious decision to focus on the things that truly matter, I will live but not live at all. 

I must admit, and thank God I know, that for the longest time, I have been the girl who can easily put her plans and pursuits on the side burner while actively pursuing another person's vision.

I have noticed that if I do not properly and intentionally balance the various facets of my life, I will be a success on one side and not do so well on another side. 

Yes, God forbid, we rebuke it and all but the thing is, there is or are actions to be taken in order for these things not to happen. 

Trust me, a good number of people will hardly tell you to get a life or to find balance especially when your "imbalance" favours them. That, my friends, is the unfortunate truth. 

So, what am I saying? 

It has become apparent to me that I must come to terms with this: life is moving; so long as I keep growing, there are going to be responsibilities and things calling for my attention. Sadly, it isn't going to get any less busy. This means that the sooner I start prioritizing the things that serve purpose and help me respond to the call of God for me, regarding purpose, the better. 

Then again, I'm wondering: is this just me thinking out loud. But, I want to know: is it just me who is experiencing this or I'm not alone? Let me know...

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. 10-12

Hi babe,  6 more days to go. We thank ABBA for everything.  10. I love the way we resolve conflict. I truly appreciate the posture with which you approach conflicts. Thank you for showing me that your posture is always to do what is needed for us to move forward. Thank you for showing that your goal isn't to find who is at fault and then crucify the person but rather to identify how to build from there and keep building. It took me a while to know this and thjs knowledge gives me the peace to resolve issues with you. I pray ABBA'S blessings for you, always. 11. I love how you give me room. You don't hold me back. You push and keep pushing me to strive for excellence and to be the best. Thank you for pushing me to start Doux! Thank you for pushing me to take my place. I encountered a man, whom I thought I loved, who was more concerned about me putting my ministry and dreams aside to pursue his. He never encouraged me if it didn't fit his "ideas". One of the mai...

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 ...
