I went to visit a friend who just had a baby, and her house was in that exact state that only people who’ve been through the postpartum trenches can truly understand. She had a C-section and told me, almost apologizing, that she didn't even have the strength to get up and throw a diaper away. So, I put the baby to sleep and told her to go take a long, uninterrupted shower and wash her hair... While she was in there, I gave the house a quick reset.
Just to be clear, if my child goes out with y’all and y’all return and my child is nowhere to be found, and there’s no answer in sight, your moms are going to be just as sad as I am.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
I need a scientific explanation for why some married women dress so luxuriously while their husbands dress like they are about to paint someone’s house😭😭😭
A girl was giving a guy her number as she got off, but he missed the last three digits. He panicked and shouted, “What are the last three?!” By then she was already outside, so without even thinking, the whole taxi shouted, “700!” 😭
I was feeling very down. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I had lost a big opportunity, and I was beginning to doubt myself.
That morning, I woke up with a heavy heart and decided to take a walk just to clear my head.
As I was walking, I saw an old woman trying to cross a busy road with her heavy basket of vegetables. Cars were speeding past, and she looked scared. I quickly went to help her. I held her hand, carried her basket, and we crossed together.
When we reached the other side, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, “Thank you, my daughter. God will always send helpers to you too.”
That small act lifted something in me.
I continued walking and later stopped at a small provision store to buy Fanta and bread. The young boy selling there looked familiar. He was the same boy I used to buy sachet water from years ago when I was still in school. He recognised me and smiled brightly. He told me he had finished secondary school and was now saving money to learn a skill. He thanked me for always encouraging him back then. He refused collecting money for the things I bought
By the time I got home, my mood had completely changed. I didn't know what happened but I know that day felt special and it made me so happy. Infact it has been one of my happiest day up until now.
Has anyone ever felt like this, or I was just being weird to have felt like that?
Something powerful happens when we have the boldness to say, “God, I know You approve of me because of my faith, so I approve of myself.” We’re not approved because we’re perfect. We’re approved because we are children of the Most High God. God’s still working on us.
Choose well, marry well… it’s a beautiful experience to be with someone who chooses you as you do them… they see you and make the little moments remarkable, regardless
Think about how God has freely given us His grace, forgiving and covering all our sins and mistakes. No matter how many times we fail and mess up, God never gives up on us. His amazing love never runs out.
At some point, you’re going to have to disappoint people in order to live a life that is honest to you. And that’s not selfish… that’s necessary.
People-pleasing will drain you. It will have you abandoning yourself just to keep others comfortable. And that’s not what God called you to do. You have every right to set boundaries. You have every right to choose your peace. You have every right to walk in obedience even if it doesn’t make sense to everyone else. You can disappoint people and still be a good person!
Stop betraying yourself to keep others happy.
Choose alignment. Choose peace. Choose you ❤️
The year my mom passed, her things were brought from Abuja back to the village. While going through them, I found a copy of a letter she had written to my stepfather.
She kept it… almost like she wanted me to see it someday.
In that letter was the truth about how she was treated. But more than that, it felt like a quiet warning to never settle for less.
It’s been 26 years, and I still have that letter.
I cried the day I found it. And even now, whenever I miss her, I read it again…and cry.
A relationship isn’t 50-50, it is 100-100.
But some days it can be 30-70, or 70-30, or 45-55, even 90-10. It has to be flexible, and both parties have to be ready to compromise.
Friendly Note: In a healthy relationship, your partner hears you when you're upset, and their priority is to make sure it never happens again, not debate whether you had a right to be upset in the first place.
