Dear old friend,
So sweet Holy Spirit has been harping at me to blog for the past two weeks — for those wondering the secret to my consistency, you have your answer. It’s the shout of the Holy Ghost 😂. The problem is not because I don’t know what to write, it’s just the time to. Apparently, UI…

Here I Go Again
My friend suddenly got sick yesterday. Really sick. And as out of the blues as out of the blues could ever be. Earlier that day, we encountered a young boy who was begging for money. He had been having issues with his lungs and he needed a particular amount of money to do a scan.…

Friends; The Desserts In The Buffet Of Life
I read the above quote in one of my now favorite novels. And I gatta say, it hit home. Yesterday, I woke up feeling lightheaded and sour. Really sour—not physical ache, I mean more like soursop kind of sour, like grouchy bear kind of sour. I had a class by 8am. After class, I told…

Legacy : Faith Of Our Fathers
Growing up, one goal beat deep in my heart. And that was to so make it in life, have plenty money so that my children can never lack for anything good. Growing up in an averagely financially stable family, this goal subtly creeped under the skin of my mind and burrowed deep that it became…

The Aftermath
It’s been eight months. Eight months of living my life without waking absurdly early to attend classes. Eight months since the ASUU strike put a pause on the academics of people. You must have heard all about it. You also must have heard about it being called off on the 17th of October. It came…

You Shall Receive As You Have Believed
I attended a spiritual meeting few days ago. This meeting was quite different from those I have always attended. I mean ah-bsolutely different! It was so easy to get distracted by curiosity. I kept finding myself during prayers with my eyes opened, watching the service with fascination. However, one thing remained with me, even after…

Faithing It As We Go
It is funny that I am writing on this topic. Until recent times, somewhere in the back of my mind, I longed to have enough faith. To build so much faith that nothing is impossible to me. To have my faith increase. Whenever I hear the words “just believe”, I wondered if it was that…

Trusting Good Ol’ Peeps
I wrote a story recently inspired by a picture I took while trying to capture some goofy pictures with my friend. That day I was hungry, tired but happy. Why? Because she was walking with me. I used to be that girl that thought she could do without a lot of people in her life.…

Writing: my sounding board
Just to give you a heads-up, this post is as much for me as you. For the past one week, I have been feeling really, really raw. I feel jagged inside. Like the roughened and crass tips of a blunt tool. Or a desert mountain (honestly, I have no idea how a desert mountain looks…

Innocence
What is the color of innocence? Is it white? Blue? Baby blue, perhaps? What shape does it take? Is it the face of a new born baby? Or the trusting eyes of a two year old? When I was a little girl, I was always sent out of the room whenever my parents or aunts…
