81 months later, she smiled, crossed the finish line, and became everything she worked so hard to be. I’m so proud of her.🥰

For residents and consultants on the timeline.
I have a simple words for you. You may say my own is too much but please listen.
The way you treat your juniors, especially House officers and new junior reg right now is extremely important.
You may think these people are too soft and that medical training is supposed to be tough and they're supposed to suffer.
But please know that they're keeping scores of how you're treating them.
Every toxic remark.
Every request that is denied.
Every extra work given to them.
Every extra call.
Every roasting in morning review.
Everytime their confidence is shattered by that comment.
Everything goes on record.
You may think you're building their character the way yours is built.
Nah.
Newsflash, you're only cementing their resolve that residency is toxic.
I know a big teaching hospital with 11 senior registrar and only two junior resident in the whole of internal medicine (yes SR now sleep overnight).
Same hospital has just 6 junior residents in surgery.
This is a center that has over 40 junior resident in surgery alone a few years back.
This is a major center in a big city that caters to millions of people.
I know you can't change the system, but remember the system is made of individuals.
By doing what you can to be nice to those beneath you, you're contributing to changing the system.
This is just my two cents, as unpopular as it may seem.
Some days ago my mum called me
And when she heard my voice she just laughed and said
“So you people are just waking up.”
She went on to say “we here we have gone to work and come back o”
Then she said something else
She said “I always forget that our time is not your time”
After the call ended, the Holyspirit reminded me of those very profound words
“Our time is not your time”
And so here was my mum in the middle of the day according to her own time, having gone out to work and come back home
But for me, it was just the break of dawn
Can you imagine if I was going to work at midnight because my mum was going to work at her own early morning?
Even though she is my mother, our reality is not the same any more
Her time is not my time
You can’t say I’m lazy when she is working because it’s afternoon in her own reality
And me I was sleeping because it wasn’t day yet
Is anybody hearing me at all???
Who told you that because you’re the same age as your friend you’re operating in the same time frame?
This is where we get the concept of early and late
You don’t know Gods blue print and design for my life
Because you married at 23 does not mean someone that married at 29 is marrying late
Your time is not my time
Our destinies are unique. There’s no where in scripture where it suggests that two people have the same exact destiny
It’s ok if you go ahead. I’ll clap for you and celebrate your dawn
My own dawn will come. And when the day breaks for me I’ll stand up and go out too
Dear child of God, walk at Gods pace for your life
Trust that your maker is ordering your steps and it will happen for you when it’s time
Remember “He makes all things beautiful in His time”
Your time is not my time
When it’s your time, your day will break
This video brought joyful tears to my eyes this morning.
Two years ago, my nanny decided to leave abruptly.
I was rotating through general surgery with heavy patient load, frequent calls, and needed to stay in the hospital for several days during unit calls and patients that required us to operate till 2am.
My husband had just closed for the year. So I had to drop our 10-month-old with him for about 3 weeks before I got another nanny.
He bathed her. Fed her. Washed her hair. Spent quality time with her while I was at work.
I didn't have to choose between my career and my child because he stepped up.
This morning, that little girl, now 3 years old, knocked on my door and said:
"Mummy, open the door. I want to greet you and Daddy."
Oh, my word!
Fully cohesive.
Fully intentional.
I can't believe how much she's grown.
People talk about "having it all" like it's something you do alone.
It's not.
You can be an excellent surgeon AND an excellent mother, but not without a strong support system.
Who you marry matters because they hold the line when you can't.
I'm grateful for this man. And for the bond he built with our daughter when I couldn't be there. I can't even be jealous.
Partnership isn't about splitting tasks 50/50.It's about stepping in 100% when your partner needs you to.
Enjoy your weekend 😘

Recently someone hurt me
Omooooooooooooooo
This hurt was bad. Like it hit me like a wall of bricks and my heart broke
I’m not sure why this hurt me so bad
Maybe because I actually love this person with all my heart
Maybe because I’ve never done a single thing to hurt this person
For all these reasons and maybe more it hurt
What was worse?
I was struggling to forgive. Like I was struggling to forgive so bad.
I thought that I was a pro in forgiveness untill this happened and I found myself flailing and struggling so bad
Well, I went to God. I went to Him and started asking questions and trying to figure out this whole forgiveness thing again because apparently, I still have a lot to learn in this syllabus
Here are a few things I learnt:
- The fact that you still feel hurt does not mean you have not forgiven. Forgiveness is a conscious decision and not a feeling
-You might still feel pain in your heart after making the conscious decision to forgive . It doesn’t mean you haven’t forgiven. That’s just your broken heart being in pain.After Jesus forgave those who crucified Him, He kept bleeding on the cross
-Never look at the reason to forgive as them being sorry. Forgiveness is a gift you give people. They don’t have to deserve it before you do.
-The first reason why you forgive is that Jesus forgives you. This is the most important reason why we forgive
-When you forgive because of Jesus, you’ll find out that there’s nobody you can’t forgive.
-The pain you feel will ease with time. Like all wounds, when properly treated, your broken heart will heal.
Blessings!
My Bro/Sis, you see that thing you’ve been waiting on God for and almost thinking it would never happen, eh? very soon, much sooner than you think, It will happen. And you will come back to this particular tweet, to say “IT HAS HAPPENED.” IN JESUS’ NAME.
You are blessed !
