30 Things I love about you: pt. 1-3

Dear Semenhyia, the benefit of choosing to do life with a writer is that you must be ready to be bombarded with a lot to read… oftentimes about you or to you. As you enter the 3rd floor, I want you to know how happy I am for you and for this milestone. To me, it is a big deal; one I will not take lightly. At alllllll, by ABBA’s Grace!

To mark your 30th birthday, I am sharing with you and the world 30 things I love about you. To be honest, when the idea came, I asked myself if I would be able to find 30 different things, I love about you. But, to my surprise, there are more things I love about you. Chale, I am not surprised. I will keep treasuring them till you hit the next milestone, in Jesus’ name.

As today marks exactly 10 days to the big 30, I will share 3 points for each day. So, here we go:

30 things I love about my Semenhyia.

1. I love how gentle you are with me.

Babe, I love how gentle you are with me. I love how you talk to me. Thank you for being tender with me. You are intentional about this, and I am grateful. Thank you for holding my hand every time. Thank you for how you treat me.

2. I love how you correct me.

ABBA knows how stubborn I can be sometimes. Whenever I falter, I love that you are firm with me. The thing is, by ABBA’s Grace, you don’t correct me to tear me down. And in instances where I have felt broken after being corrected, you are quick to mend, all the while being firm. I don’t know how you do it, but I pray ABBA’s continued blessings over you, babe.

3. I love how you push me to stand up for myself.

Before you, I was the type who would allow myself to be treated anyhow by friends and loved ones. I didn’t know how to say no or to stand up for myself. I am thankful to ABBA for how you’ve pushed me to have a voice and insist on what is mine. I still have a long way to go but by ABBA’s Grace, I see how far I have come, and I know you have been a key part in this.

I will come your way again tomorrow with the next set of things I love about you. I am excited. Are 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...

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached. My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?! Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes...

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing, especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely. After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means: if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure. I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be...
