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.

WAITING

I have been a mom for two months and I think my greatest challenge has been waiting. Waiting during the pregnancy period and wondering what the baby would look like,  what delivery will feel like,  will the things I bought be enough? Then the child comes and everything is meant to align to her timetable. Sleep when she is sleeping they say, do they remember Deborah has a work deliverable waiting on you? Sleep when she is sleeping they advise, that is except you are preparing their lunch, then you can stay awake, finish cooking, serve and clean the kitchen. Then there is the ministry of helps that you are not sure how to receive. They can only help you in their convenience which is kind of confusing because you do not really need the kind of help they are offering and the next thing you hear is "Use all the help you get" After some time, you get to a point where you are in a rhythm you don't know how it started but it doesn't reflect what you do and you are focused on ...

Chronicles of a love walk 1

Lagos Sunset (@b4best 2015) Hello Everyone. I have been going through a lot lately. As an individual, a budding career person, a friend, woman, sister and really I am learning that it is necessary for me to put to use all the learning, training and experiences that I have inside. I have been learning and growing painful sometimes, but i know that at the end of the day I win and come out on top. I have had a Myles Munroe's snippet on my phone that I play every morning as I commute to work:  "Everything that I need to be great and awesome is in me,  the tools are ready, the future is ready, the execution is up to me." We hear of a refiner's fire and I for one thought it was probably just a buffer cousin of cooking fire with a few burns and scrapes we will be fine, but I am learning that they are not even neighbours. Even though as I type this, I am grateful for God's mercy because if He decides to blast out everything once, I do not think I would ...
