While we aggressively tackle the challenges of today, we must keep in mind and not lose sight of the possible challenges tomorrow may bring as a result of our actions and inaction of today.
@JeremyMaurice_ showing up with provisions & taking turns with @morenike_fo to nurse me back to health after I had 2nd degree burns from a kitchen accident.
Linked up with an old friend on Facebook again this week. We dated briefly and no Mekwe was involved. We went out on dates trying to get to know each other. We lived in Ikoyi at the same time and I stupidly didn’t know how rich they were. She is an only daughter. Spoilt rotten.
Maybe this is ultimately about how we define love. But for me, genuine love is a perpetual warmth; an eternal fondness. It is to always want the best for someone—to see them as God intended them. That does not die.
For me, love is not being together. It doesn’t begin there. It doesn’t end after that. It happens without our consent, and does not die because we want it to. If it does, then maybe it wasn’t love.
Mine doesn’t fade away. I deprioritize my affections perfectly, but how I felt about them always stays true. And it’s not my gift to them; it is I who have been lucky. I’ve not loved a person who did not deserve a small space of permanence in my heart.
A friend and I saw #TheBeekeeper tonight.
All I can say is, it was madddddd…. The trill from seeing #jasonstatham gunning men down ehn.. crazy.
Would I watch it again? Maybe not but it was great in that moment.
Documenting this here for anytime that feeling attempts to resurface and for anyone who is feeling off.
Count your many blessings, then enter into God's rest.
Ps. Happy Birthday to my big brother 🎉
For 1hr 12mins we didn't really say much.. Then she began to look back on memories, recalling our times of uncertainty and lack. Placing side by side our wins and growth. Two mins in, the only words on my lips...see what the Lord has done.
She then goes on to speak life over me; reminding me of my strengths. She says enter into God's rest. The call disconnects but my joy is full.
...See what the Lord has done.
Not the material & physical growth, see the spiritual intimacy with God we are building.
Speak Life | Count your blessings.
For some reason I'm not quite sure of, I found myself feeling abit down today. Quite odd, especially given my high energy, hopeful and positive outlook since December.
I wallowed in bed for most of the day till my sis @o_estee called.
