God’s Grace

-
Hi Guys, so I finally did it. It took a lot of self encouragement, encouragement from friends, bathroom talks and well,  good internet connection to actually pull this off but mostly it’s all by God’s grace.

God’s Grace!!! What does that even mean? I used to ask myself this exact question a couple of years back, I remember asking myself this during one of our morning devotion . My mum kept preaching and emphasizing on how God’s grace is the ultimate, the key to success... and I remember thinking to myself “🙄, like God’s grace would work without hardwook.” Silly me!

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like nothing is working out in your favour? Ever gone through an heartbreak and felt like ‘ damn, I’m never going to get over this’ ? Have you ever lost someone and it hurts so bad, you think you would never be able to smile again?
How did you come out of these? Guess you will say ‘time heals all wounds’ yea? Well, yes it does but not without God’s grace, never without God’s grace.



So I’m not going to go all spiritual on you cos well, I’m not all that spiritual myself , I wish I was. But it felt right to make my first post about Him. He’s the all knowing, the sufficient, ever loving, ever giving God. The God of impossibilities, the God that was, that is and that will be.

Ok, enough.. will continue my bragging  in the other room. Lol.

P.S - I’m open to criticism, constructive criticism though.. don’t come and kill my self esteem. Lol
        Y’all take it easy on me kk, I’m only just learning.
         Grammarians in the building... how far na.. take it easy on your sister oo

WHAT TO EXPECT-  hmmm. To be honest, I have no idea. However, I’m expecting it to be a mixture of whatever thought creeps into my mind plus previous and current experiences(both mine and others).

    Hello J. I.

    It has been a while, indeed! I assume all is well with you? I suspect yes.

    So, with the pleasantries done and dusted, lets get to it, shall we?

    Your application of the word, "Grace", captured the true essence of its definition as it applies to man, woman and child.

    It is a divine influence which operates in us all, "some more than others".

    To inspire virtuous impulses of strength, endurance, individual excellence and "all that other good stuff".

    Your contribution was a good read, cheers!

    Beautiful, I will be around this summer; will we meet? Now that's the million dollar question.

    You know me, I know you. Your secret admirer online.

HOPE ALIVE!

Lately, I’ve been feeling so unsettled. Feels like I can have a conversation but not for too long. I can be around people but not too many, or for too long, else I get irritated. I can laugh and smile but not too often, not too much. Not too wide. Because.... Just because it doesn’t feel right. It’s been a while since I saw him in my dreams, i used to see him in my dreams everyday and that gave me some sort of solace, some sort of hope that he is fine and that he will be home soon. But for months I haven’t seen him, I haven’t heard his voice in my sleep. I can’t shake away this sick feeling that something might be wrong. Is something wrong? Is everything wrong? As his birthday grew closer, the more difficult it was to shake away this feeling. With this pandemic spreading round the world, I can’t stop thinking about where he could be. Is he safe? It’s been five years and sometimes I feel like my life is out of my control , as if I was a character in some cruel writer’s novel. K

2019...

Hey Guys. So it’s been a minute since my last post. I have been pretty occupied with life and I’ve really struggled to find the time to any any extra activities for myself. I promise to finally find that balance and do better this year.🤞 Well, I’ve come to realize that at the end of every year,  we begin to crave for closure, we draw conclusions, add full stops, analyze facts, look back, and then make efforts to move on. We work on unfinished projects so we can move forward. Or so we believe. Or so we believe because we want to try hard to make plans with an eye to the future about which we are honestly uncertain. Because we never know where the present is going to take us in the end. As 2019 ends, I’ve decided to make my closure too, I am not an exception afterall...I remain human, I guess. Hmmm. This was a strange year. I spent the first part of it motionless, letting the waves of this ocean I sometimes call life hit me hard as I battled against it and everything. But I did

THE BEGINNING

i was 7 when I first felt the touch of a man. At the age of 9, I knew what sex was. Though I had never experienced it at the time but I was well aware. Sunday’s were considered play play day for me and my siblings, we stayed in a face me I face you compound somewhere in Lagos and on sundays my parents would go for their Sunday meetings after the morning mass. Sunday’s were my best days because I was so sure my parents would come back home with lots of  goodies, mostly biscuits and groundnut at the time. My dad sometimes came back with garden egg and fried chicken and I and my siblings would fight for the larger share. My parents were very well known in their meetings, they must have been a part of three or four different meetings at the time and they both held positions in most of these meetings. Sometimes, they would host meetings too at our house and i loved that the most because my dad would buy lots of drinks and mumcy would cook very delicious meals. Oh how I loved Sundays. Th
