A space for you and me…
In this space, I share everything that God asks me to. But think outside of the box with me–if you’re looking for think pieces head over to the Articles category. Short stories? Head to the Short Stories category. If it’s specifically about my walk with JESUS, you want to make your bed in My JESUS diary. Poems, prayers, any way you turn, you’re sure to meet the TRUTH. ✨
God’s grace boggles my mind…
Grace is a beginning. I will not say ‘new’ because I have never heard of old beginnings. Entry #0000007 Grace is God’s gift and like all gifts, all you have to do is receive it.Grace is undeserving. It’s Jacob begging Esau to forgive him even when he deserved justice.It’s mercy when we deserve punishment. Accepting…
Change…
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.(2 Corinthians 5:17, kjv) Today, I listened to the lyrics of Changed by Geoffrey Golden and I remembered the first time I heard this song in my 3rd year. I absolutely loved the song and while I…
How I’m feeling…
I woke up on the right side of the right side of my bed. Entry #0000006 For a long time, I’ve reached out for contentment but my fingers are only long enough to touch it, not hold it. When I woke up today, it was firmly nestled in my palms. I let out the song…
Today, my mother told me I behave like a snake
Current mood = tired. Entry #0000005 Huh? Snake? I was bothered, mainly because I do not take lightly any comparison to the evil one. Lol. Nigerian parents are just dramatic please.But she clarified. My moods have been terrible these past few days; one day I am superhyper and the next minute, my face wears a…
Lord, search my heart
Search me, O God, and know my heart;test me and know my anxious thoughts.Point out anything in me that offends you,and lead me along the path of everlasting life.(Psalms 139: 23-24. nlt) I know You see my heart ABBA, I know that You know me better than I can ever know myself. I know that…
Revival in the place of prayer
“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;”(Luke 18:1. kjv) God says, your human strength has failed you but my mercies abound and my grace is sufficient. For you who has been experiencing a certain dullness to your spirit with no desire to…
Can I be flogged for the Name?
Somehow, I cannot wrap my head around it. Entry #0000004 Today as I studied Acts, I came upon the part where the apostles rejoiced that they were flogged and counted worthy to be treated shamefully on behalf of the Name (Acts 5:40-41). I paused. Flogging? Flog me? I have read about persecution in the Bible…
A prayer for you
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” (3 John 1:2. kjv) This is what I pray for you reading this. I pray that every part of you flourishes in Him, that you never lose sight of His loving gaze. That your eyes are…
I’m a bit worried…
Today I saw a post on social media that did not sit well with my spirit. Entry #0000003 Mostly because something did not seem right about it. It was a picture that looked something like a parody of a painting done by a renaissance artist. The text above it shouted, ‘This is Job. Job’s friends…
So I started working out…
I thought I could do all things until I had to do 50 sit-ups. Entry #0000002 *Chill, my clown makeup has got to be around here somewhere* I started towards the end of October. I was pumped up but despite my ‘want’ for consistency, I’ve only worked out a little above 10 days (ok fine,…
