Whew!! It's been a really long while time :) .I've been quite busy with school:) So I came across one of the posters from  mygracecards  (a facebook page I created to express the chronicles in my mind))  and I realized how true it is for you and I.  Very subconsciously we have believed in ourselves to be able to get things done. I say subconscious because sometimes we just do things and it seems like the norm; we let it pass, giving no meaning to it.  The truth is,some of these things are what count in our days of despair or when we need to encourage ourselves.  It's important that you find the value in what you have gone through and let it propel you to a greater height. Sometimes we have to take a look at where we are coming from(where we have been) and we will have an idea of not just how much we can do but how far we can go. :) I hope you find strength as you take a look at your life and see how much strength you displayed in certain situat...

Preparation is one of those words you've probably heard a thousand and one times. I want to point your attention to something interesting about preparation that I realized. Especially when God drops somethings in our hearts.. I was thinking some days ago about how God drops certain things in our hearts and sometimes we don't really get why He is asking us to do such things.Or maybe we get why but we just can't bring ourselves to do it. Here's ' a why '- He always wants to prepare us for what he has preparing for us somewhere in the future . Most of the time,what he expects of us may be  things we are not so used to or would sure hit into our regular kinda life.You most likely would have an internal struggle and maybe,procrastinate/try not to face it. I am one of those people who can try pushing aside what God would have me do.But I came to realize that my prayers would require actions that probably only God can give a specific leading. And also...

Its 4 days after my grad from the uni today. It was such an exciting day for me.Took lots of pictures and still trying to collects them together. :) Here are some of them if you care to feed your eyes: Yeah,thats me :)  This is Korede and her sister Busayo. They are like family to  me :).They are siblings by the way and yeah,she(Busayo) bakes heavenly cakes.  The official pose..  I'm so excited about this particular shot! I look so excited..lol  That's Korede and Busayo's Aunt and Uncle. Reminising on how the years have gone by and how i have had so many plans and aspirations through my years in the uni,I though it would be a good point to write on. Its amazing how time goes by. The question I have for you today is- would you have done all your heart know you should have done within a frame of time that you have in a particular place? Especially as a child of God,who has desires placed in your heart by God. I say this because ...

*Laziness inspired*-My laziness inspired this!! I am a very huge fan of been yourself. This is because i believe everyone has been created uniquely to fulfill God's purpose for them on earth. I deeply believe that anyone can become whatever they set their minds to doing. And truth is that no body can do thing like someone else. I mean,people may be up to the same task but they will carry out the same task differently and can come out with both results been excellent. This is because everyone has been wired differently. So also everyone has a space they have been created to occupy on God's earth.  I believe that God has given us thought patterns and ways that we can get things done. The things is,you have to give yourself to growth.i have to give myself to growth-the right materials,challenges etc.These things will influence our way of thinking,doing things and even presenting ourselves.Thus,when we live this way,we would have lived out the life God intended for us t...

Growth is in loops. Its a cycle. What really does it mean to be willing to unlearn and relearn? To unlearn is to undo what you have always known and to relearn is to take up a new knowledge. Its to be willing to do away with what you have always known and be willing to get a better understanding,knowledge of something. The fact that one has learnt something once doesn't mean one knows it all.That one learnt something doesn't mean one can really apply it right.That one learnt something doesn't even make it the right thing. Especially because things always present in different forms and ways. Everything(people,society,etc) is changing everyday,so also are the dynamics of things changing,though,principles will remain. I realized that to do this effectively,I have to pay attention to details like I wrote  here . Through it all,I realized that I must be ready to unlearn and relearn some truths so I can grow and keep growing. Unlearning will require you to give other peop...

This word,as simple as it sound is so profound. One of those school days I remember stopping twice along the way just to take a better view of the road and figure out how to pass through;simply because the road was messy and I had to be very careful else I raise dirt on my clothes. These two pauses reminded me of how important it is to take some time out,every once in a while to make plans on how things should go. Have you ever had an idea,spoken to in fact several people about it and then end up not doing it? Its usually because of one of two things-you didn't have a plan or something else got in the way and choked your plan. A plan is simply a road map you have for what you are all about per time. One of the reasons I believe people do not plan or find it difficult to plan is because we always want to be doing something!  You get so used to doing so many things that it gets uncomfortable doing nothing. To plan is simply to pause and deine how things should go. Though...
