You have probably noticed that there are a few things we can do to maximize the opportunities on any given day. This could mean sleeping the recommended number of hours so we are well-rested. It could also mean creating and keeping to a to-do list, prioritizing our actions and tasks, amongst others. In recent years, […]
What is God saying?
I think it’s a given that none of us has life all figured out. We are often grasping at straws trying to connect the dots and fix the square pegs in a round hole(or however the saying goes). Recently, I was in a shuttling quagmire (please forgive my English, not sure what’s going on). I […]
Would you change your marital status if you could?
“She is woman, clothed in ivory, beautiful and purposeful but all they see is the ring on her left…” Can you imagine a world where one’s marital status was not an issue? Where a single or married woman could live her life fully, without stereotypes or misconceptions? This is not a riddle nor a contrived […]
Four thoughts on hearing the voice of God
For many of us, the last few months have been a hodgepodge of good and bad during this unexpected pandemic. Our plans for the year have likely changed and we are not sure of how to pivot or adjust. Perhaps, you’re now trying to figure out what God is saying about your situation. I can […]
What do you do when you’re ignored?
I had poured out my heart, bared my soul … my words were emphatic, persistent. I had highlighted salient points, starting from the very beginning, all the way to the end. It was a message that had it all. And after I sent it… *crickets* Not a single response. No one said anything. Not even […]
What I didn’t say about justice
There are a few things I haven’t said about justice. For one thing, justice is often elusive. It is the farthest thing in some trials, like the proverbial fountain we all long for but can never reach. And then comes the hopelessness, the loss of faith in a system that should uphold truth and […]
The Skin on me
The skin on me has nothing to do with you, it is not yours to play with or redesign. The skin on me has never been black, a medley of browns, blues and dark chocolate. With each layer against the blistering rays, like a pigment of life steeped in the sand. But the eyes roamed […]
Her lost dreams – Seun’s Story, Part 2
Read Part One of the story here… Driving back home, Seun is torn. She had promised God that she would tell her parents about her plans if she got accepted into any of the schools. She could no longer keep it from them, but she also wondered if it would be worth the drama. […]
Her lost dreams – Seun’s Story, Part 1
“I’m not doing it”. Seun says curtly refusing to look at Ify. “What do you mean you’re not doing it?” “Ify, I just can’t. I will be 30 in a few months. How will it look if I say I’m going back to school? Who goes back to school at 30?” Seun turns from her […]
The best relationship advice I’ve ever heard
The best relationship advice I’ve ever heard was to: ‘go straight to the source.’ This probably seems abstract and a little bit weird and I wouldn’t blame you for not understanding it.
