Lucy

I was a bit jealous when my neighbour and some friends (actually her friends i was meant to attach myself ) went for a girly date and i couldn't go.
 The plan was to roam round the mall, watch a movie and head home. But being local girls like myself (No offence ladies) a particular somebody was almost passing out in her heels so they bought dunlop (actually flats), then watched Lucy because her name is Lucy (don't worry, they don't know your surname) and came home.
When I asked about the movie, they didn't sound too pleased (No thanks to iroko and the likes).
 Fast forward a month later and i see free wireless,  and lucy (don't do illegal ish). I downloaded it with mixed feelings

Suddenly the movie started (popcorn less, movie dateless and sodaless), but i was grateful that i wasn't in the cinema. I have not yet recovered  (literally). It brought home a Sunday School lesson (or at least what they had been trying to teach us anyways).

A girl going on her dandy way till you meet someone and something is deposited inside you.
 Initially, your plan was for it to be contained, not contained like hidden in plain sight but you thought it meant editing a fine script little did you realise that you just switched tracks and changed lanes. You were just meant to transport the 'package' from one location to the other, they have nothing on you, you are just the delivery truck.

The calm, happy-go-luck, regular girl became a feisty individual overnight. You really don't look any different on the outside but something has changed in you.
 The more you research about your new life, the better adjusted you are to the change that you are experiencing. This means the better you can handle yourself, you have to learn new life skills so that you can adapt to the new nature that you have received.
The more you interact with this life, the more you feel like an outlier because you don't appeal to the regular stuff anymore. In her case, the evolution was rapid but with most people it takes way longer.
Now let me bring it home, when you hear stuff like
                      'You have this treasure in earthen vessel'
                            'The greater one is on your inside'
They refer to a kind of life that you have received. It cannot be contained, it must change you. The change is not always instantaneous, but there will be change and in the end you will know that it is different. The life you have will consume you from the inside out and you will never be the same again.

My Gratitude Journal

Today I have decided to switch things up a little bit. I want to thank you for testimonies that seem like a lie. All of them are a result of your goodness and benevolence to me and mine. Especially in this season where people are judging the seasons if their lives by what is being said on the NEWS and in the stock market. I judge your faithfulness by the goodness I have enjoyed in and out of season. My cruise of oil has not run out neither has my barn of wheat dried up. You have been faithful and good in every area of my life. This picture depicts the condition of my heart, joy, gratitude and nothing more. God is dependable.

A Long Way From Home (1) - Where is home?

I am learning that God brings you out of your comfort zone and safety net just to have you all to himself. Is it funny?, NOO. Is it Easy?, Not in the least. The longest part is when he is stripping you of you. Try compounding that with becoming a housewife in a new country after being in back to back employment for 10 years. A first time mom with a new child that is also trying to figure out this earth experience with you. There are days you will feel like you are trapped in your home, moving from bedroom to parlor, and back to the bedroom, pacifying a new baby, and looking for a pacifier yourself. Today was one of those days, I had really hoped that I could live a little through the stories of a workday but if wishes were horses.  Then after getting her royal highness to sleep, you have to struggle with a computer screen, at some point, you just drop everything and begin to look inwards. That's right after the filtering noises of a club playing music sounds like an old companion, ...

Love notes to my friend

          First time I crossed from Lungi, a local boat on the shore I have just realised that every time something happens that should give me a reason to be sad, God always gives me an assignment to look forward to. Kind of reminds me of the scripture that says forgetting the things that are behind, I press on to the mark of the high calling. Emotions are not the truth. God's word is true. Know this and know peace. This is me publicly declaring Lord I am grateful for everything we have gone through together in 2021. I judge you faithful because you have helped me and kept your promise to me over and over again.
