Yes I had a relationship that ended 1 week to our engagement.
Ever since I shared this, Iâve gotten so many DMs about heartbreak and pain
One said âsis Debby, I feel like Iâve been set on fire. The pain is unbearable. Please how did you do itâ?
Honestly I havenât responded to anyone on this
Because even though itâs something Iâve been through, emotional pain is so UNIQUE.
It affects us so differently
And Iâm no expert on the subject. But Iâve taken time to think about it deeply and consider my own journey to healing in retrospect
So hereâs what Iâll say
đ¤CRY.
Many times people will say
âOh donât waste any second crying.â
âItâs their loss. Theyâve missed out on you.â
âYou donât know what God saved you fromâ
All these is true but I highly recommend you mourn. What this does is that it allows you think and process the sad thing that happened to you.
Iâll describe it like draining pus out of wound.
Donât bottle it up
You gave your love and time and energy. Now itâs over. Itâs sad. Mourn it
Cry very well. Then clean your eyes. And cry some more.
đ¤Prepare for the roller coaster
You would think you have healed. And all its well
And boom. Something reminds you and you feel the ache again.
Itâs ok. Healing is not so linear. Brace yourself
One moment youâre laughing and the next minute, youâre tearing up. Itâs ok
đ¤Itâs nothing you did
Except you have a character flaw and it was pointed out, if your relationship ended because the timing wasnât right or the person just liked someone else more,
Please donât fall into the pit of self hatred
Itâs not because youâre short and chubby and you have acne.
Thereâs nothing about yourself that is wrong.
You just werenât picked. And thatâs ok too.
Youâre someone elseâs spec.
đ¤Knowing why wonât change much
Thereâs this other pit where you start obsessing about the âwhyâsâ
âWhy did they not chose meâ?
âWhat can I do differentâ?
Why this why that
Then you want to call the person. You want to understand why
Even if they can articulate the reasons, what would that do for you?
It has ended. Accept it. Move o
Stop focusing on what has ended.
If youâre a believer in Christ, start asking God âFather, whatâs next for meâ?
đ¤Talk to the Holyspirit
Beliver in Christ? Come close again.
Talk to Him. I mean literally.
Open your mouth and say âHolyspirit, my heart is hurting. Please help me heal.
I promise you, He will do it.
Youâll wake up every day and discover your heart hurts less and less.
I promise you.
đ¤Try again
Men and not scum. Women and not witches
Donât let the devil tell you lies.
Donât start doubting the leading of God either.
God still has a plan for you
Thereâs someone out there who will think youâre the best human being in the world
Who would provide a sade space for you to be loved and to grow and thrive
It will happen for you
I know because it happened for you
And I know God is not partial.
I hope this helps.
Your sister in Christ đ
Dear Holy Spirit,
I think I'm beginning to like this person, I think about him/her often.
Please help my heart, help me not to be blinded by my feelings. Your will is what I want.
You can have this kind of conversation with the Holy Spirit too.
I saw something in scriptures today that that made me understand why God loved David so much
Remember when Absalom, David's son was trying to take the kingdom?
And plotted against his father and chased him out ?
Someone came and told David that Ahithophel was with Absalom
A warning to those who are Christians, who are meant to be and think from Zion, but are still practising tribal divide, judgment is knocking! Repent!! Jesus Christ does not stand and will not stand for such!
Nigerians be at rest, God is involved in this and when He is done-
This week. I pray that God's goodness will run after you. You will encounter new opportunities for financial increase. You are moving from just enough to more than enough in Jesus' name.
Amen!
As the reconfiguration of BVAS has become our watchword today, I humbly appeal to Nigerians that it's time to Reconfigure our own BVAS "BASIC VALUES ACCEPTABLE TO SOCIETY" Have a nice Sunday and may God Almighty bless Nigeria. -PO
Youths in This same Lagos State were killed for protesting peacefully. So many brutalized and dehumanized!!! So many are still in detention!!! So many of us still receiving threats dailyâŚ
So you expect Youths to forget these atrocities in the name of Tribe???
Evil People!!!
