30 things I love about you: pt. 4-6

Hiii! It’s me again. Now to the next set of things I love about you: 

4. I love how you push me to not allow people rush me. 

I remember that one time in Papaye Osu when I had not yet made up my mind as to what meal I wanted. The lady at the counter was calling me to place my order because I was the next in line to be attended to. I was in such a rush to order just anything because I felt I was delaying the lady. Just when I was about to say just anything, you held me and asked why I felt compelled to place the order. I told you it was because the lady was slightly getting impatient. You pulled me to the side and said to the lady that we weren’t ready to order and so she should go ahead to serve those after us. You admonished me not to allow people rush me into things when I know I am not ready. Since that time, I often have that moment in mind when I feel like people are trying to rush me with their timelines.

5. I love the way you see me. 

I love the way you see me. I love the fact that you don’t only see me in the now but in the future as well. One of the things I love about you is your deep sense of awareness of who I am. Sem, believe me when I say that most of the men who came into my life were mostly concerned about the value I brought into their lives. They wanted me in their life because of what my presence in their lives would do for them in business, life, career, ministry, etc. No one ever said to me, “I see who you are and who you are destined to be, and I am committed to partnering with the Lord to bring it to pass.” No one. Thank you for exemplifying this, babe. 

6. I love your friendship. 

I love the fact that I knew you as a friend first. I truly appreciate those moments when I have said to you, “I need my friend” and you have put your “friend cap” on for me. I appreciate the fact that I can talk to you about everything and anything. Yes, I want you to be pleased with me but there is no reason to hide anything or to put up a front when it comes to you. Thank you for being my friend. 

I pray ABBA’s continued blessings over you, babe. I love 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...
