SHARING LIFE

Hello guys, before I get to today's post, please accept my deepest apologies for not sharing life moments with you in the past month.  I am learning that if I choose to wait for the perfect moment or setting to get important things done, I will never get around to doing anything.  I am a work in progress and I recall something Pastor Benji said some years ago: we don't have to start afresh; we continue from where we left off.  So here I am, continuing from where I left off, and hoping you can forgive me too...  So today's AC-BC post, here we go...  This morning, something interesting happened in the bathroom.  I was reflecting on something I had done when I was in secondary school.  I remembered how some seniors and even classmates would hear my name and say, "that girl" or something unpleasant about me.  The moment the thought crossed my mind, the question that sprung up in my heart was, "Was that before I knew Christ or after I met C...

Hello, Sharing Life fam! I hope the week has been eventful as mine has.  Last week, I spoke about community and how we ought to keep in mind that our lives are for community. I recall my last words being:  And, a part of community is in understanding that your life isn't just for you only .  I was pondering on what this week's post would be when Holy Spirit brought to my attention an experience I had had in Kumasi when I was in KNUST.  I was on my way to campus from town and to get a bus that would take me to my hostel, I had to climb the overhead bridge to the other side to get a bus.  In normal fashion, I ran up the stairs.  When I got to about half the steps, a woman I had seen on the staircase ( obviously catching her breath ) said to me in twi ( which I will type in English ): I was waiting for you so I continue.  This got me thinking: how many people in my life are waiting for me to take a step so they do? How many people around me need my courag...

Oftentimes, we live our lives thinking it is just us and no one is watching... or maybe, even taking notes. We downplay our worth and importance thinking that there is nothing about us and we have nothing to offer anyone. Some years ago, Holy Spirit taught me a lesson on one of my trips with my dad, which I want to share with you today.  We were on our way to Anomabo ( in the Central region of Ghana ) and we got to this Kasoa-Buduburam stretch which, if you are familiar with that road, has cuh_razy traffic! And because we were behind time, we knew we had to use different routes to get ahead. So this is what happened:  Because we weren't familiar with these diversions, we knew the best thing to do was to tail the public buses that were plying the route. Free advice: if you don't know a route, follow a "trotro" 😄 On this particular day, I don't know why all the bus drivers were driving so fast. After a while, we lost the bus we were following and we had a private c...

Two weeks ago, I published a post titled, " Cornerstone " and in that post, I shared how Holy Spirit had thought me about what it means to put Jesus first in seeking Him.  I talked about how by prioritizing time spent with Him, it meant that all the other areas/facets of my life would find their alignment from this one choice.  Today, I bring you updates from this post and a few things to share.  Before I get to it, let me say how grateful I am to God for the Grace to remember this truth and prioritize Him. Honestly, to God be all the Glory.  Last week, I was reading the book of Daniel and in chapter 1, I saw how Daniel and his 3 friends chose to prioritize their devotion to God above what the Babylonian king wanted them to do.  In the chapter, we see how ABBA made them 10x better than their contemporaries.  So today, I want to share Daniel 1: 17-20 "17   As for these four youths,  God gave them learning and s kill in all literat...

There is this thing about the cornerstone of a building that ensures that every other building block is aligned well.  The cornerstone is built in such a way that once it is in place, it serves as the map or reference for the laying of all the other stones which make up a building.  Today, I write to those who easily get overwhelmed because they are juggling so many things from career to family to love to business to their personal lives... I am so thankful to God that I currently find myself in a space where I have come to realize how impossible it is to get through my day without Jesus. Literally.  I know that in the Bible, Jesus Is referenced as the "Stone the builders rejected which has become the cornerstone". That is true and this has become my experience.  Today, I woke up tired, not feeling too well but having a lot on my plate to get done. I was late, behind time for a meeting and just not prepared for my day.  So when I woke up, my first instinct was t...

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...

Hey fammmmm! Welcome to my birthday week! ( yes, I just had to add that somewhere.😅 ) Confession time:  In October of 2020, I resigned from my job. Not that of myself, I would have done so but it's just that I was put in a position where resigning was the best thing to do. Certainly wasn't expecting that but it was what it was, really.  When this happened, I was optimistic that I would find work in no time. Well, that didn't happen. So, I prayed... and I prayed and I prayed.  There were times when I was so sure of an open door coming my way. There were also those times when an unexpected call from someone would come, telling me of an potential job offer or something. Feeling hopeful, I would wait and suddenly not hear from them. Chale...  So believe me when I say that I know what it means to wait for that "phone call".  ...that feeling when an unregistered number shows up on your phone and you find yourself wondering which company the caller may be ...
