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...

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...
