 TRUST! Level up guys! It's a new month! Yippee! With the new month comes a new series on the blog.❤️What do you say? I say it's going to be an enjoyable ride, all the wayyyy. On today's edition of 'Love and Everything In Between', we'll begin with looking at a topic, a word mostly used by people but only understood by few. It's the bedrock of Love. It gives allowance to the growth of love, anywhere, any day. We are looking at TRUST, today. And I trust one of my sisters to do justice to the topic. So... Leggooo! Article by: Sholola Oluwafeyisikemi. When we think of qualities that attract us to a person, we often think of trust. Let's do this. When you hear the word trust, what comes to mind? Let me guess- Loyalty, having confidence in someone, feeling comfortable enough around someone to tell them anything, right? Well, you're not far from it. The dictionary defines trust as a firm belief in the reliability, ability or truth of someone or something....

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

Image
By Blessing Offiong. Listen up! You are not missing out on anything. You just returned from work. Your bones ache and everything screams REST.  As if controlled by a force, your right arm snake out to touch the silver screen beside your pillow.  Bling! A notification. It's Sandy again. The hot, business minded chick you feel a combo of envy and admiration for. She just nailed a 30 million dollar deal, and she's only 22. Your disloyal mind turns back to the meagre salary you are scrapping for.  Slowly, resentment builds. As envy grows, you become dissatisfied with your lot. Beware!! FOMO is speaking. ................................................................. FOMO is a social phenomenon that has exploded overtime.  Once or twice, the excruciating desire for more creeps up on you. This is understandable, because God created you to desire growth and multiply. But where did FOMO come from?  FOMO stems from feelings of unhappiness and discontent.  Unfortu...

COME HOLDING NOTHING

Listen to 'To You' by Maverick City . She had held her palms in fists for a long time, afraid to let go of whatever had entered in.  Sharp edges of broken pieces had injured their previous openness. For her, trust was no more in the dictionary, not to talk of her diary. She stopped relating with such words. Not her. Never would she trust anymore. A little down the lane, her fists couldn't receive. Nothing would come out. Nothing would go in. She was helpless and shut-in.  Just like everyone else who would find themselves here, she met Him.  He was bloody and beautiful.  "Welcome to the way of the cross. I came here before you so you wouldn't bare these pains again. Come near", He said. Like a damsel under an influence, her senses opened. Her heart broke. Her tears rushed. Yet, her fists tightened. His eyes, those beautiful but pain-filled eyes, they stared at her with full accurate compassion. They burned with passion for her return to HIM. HE had suffered for...

  Guys. Guys. Guys. Guys. Waking up this morning was a struggle. Okay. Maybe struggle is a big word. Let's just say I didn't want to go out into that bone cracking, jaw Shifting, teeth shattering cold and I'm not exaggerating. It was sooo cold and my body felt vulnerable to its possible consequences.  The serious cold notwithstanding, I had meetings to attend to and people to talk to. I only had to take preventive measures to guide myself from catching a cold. Although, I couldn't get hot water, I ensured I was properly dressed for the weather. That's one way to protect my health. Well, OLUWATOMISIN, our follow-up doctor has some helpful tips to share with us as regards our health, today. Enjoy! 😉 Health is wealth. Protect your health. I’m amazed by how well we know this yet are still unable to take the necessary preventive measures we need to take to protect our health. A lot of us, despite the fact that we are aware of the basic things that keep us away from th...

Missed me?

Hi, my love. I miss you.  To the oldies, I miss bonding with you, word wise. It's been a longgggggg time and I know it's totally my fault we are having this conversation right now. But whatever, it's totally needed. I miss you and that's it, so much that I don't know how else to tell you I miss you than to say I really do miss you. I feel like we've had so much time apart. But I believe it's not so much that we can not catch up with gists and memories and visions and revelations AND the truth of God's word. Wow! It feels so good to be back. Seriously! And if you're new? I have quite a number of contents you can go through anddddd a whole lot more to come. So, grab a seat, enjoy the ride. Yeah. There's a whole lot to say, to tell you, really. I'd love to talk about how much God has been so faithful even in the midst of my unfaithfulness. I'd love to tell you how the truth of God's word should take root inside of us so that we can actua...

Finding Purpose can be confusing!

So, I had my birthday two days ago -18/03. It was a beautiful experience. Thanks to the amazing people God has stationed around me. I was really blessed. I got thinking about the popular word: PURPOSE. I think I'm not alone when I say finding purpose can be a little bit confusing. Did I hear someone say 'little' is an understatement? Well, yeah, I'm with you. It's a whole different thing to live your life because you suddenly found yourself here on earth together with some other beings. It's on another different level to live that same life in the purpose for which you have been created. Well, finding that one purpose is never easy. Why?  One. It's never easy to find purpose when we tend to forget quite easily whose we are. We choke on the little things that attract us and leave out the One who made us. Two. It's never easy when we deny the reason for which we've been made to chase after more interesting stuffs. I mean, some people DO realise purpose...

Never Stranded (2)

A Short Story Series by MojoyinolaJesu Yewande * Soon after they all had retired for the night, Evelyn was still awake.  She had chatted with Chris on phone for about 30 minutes before they both wished each other a pleasant night's rest. Evelyn remembered what happened barely an hour ago, the conversation with Mr Duro about not staying in the same room with her fiancé.  ------ "You are already engaged to be married, so why not?", their host asked. The man seemed to be trying to wrap his head around what he just heard Christopher say. "Well, it's like you said sir, we're engaged to be married, but not yet married, so...".  Christopher had guessed that he and Evelyn's boundaries to ensure sexual abstinence till marriage would sound absurd too many- he and Evelyn had a fair share of such awkward situations. As opposed to the world's reality of pre-marital sex that it was no big deal for most not to abstain from pre-marital sex, they both felt those ...
