Faith in the Roller Coaster

My people! How are you doing?

It feels like I haven’t been here in a while - and it’s only been three weeks! But a million things can happen in three weeks, I tell you.

My life lately? Picture a roller coaster… with a wrecking ball swinging at random. But through it all, God’s got me! That savage wrecking ball has swung more than once, but with God’s help, I’ve dodged every single blow. Hallelujah!

So tell me -  how’s it going with you? Did you finally do that thing you’ve been planning? Did the big job or promotion come through? Have you had any wins worth celebrating lately? Or has it been more about artful dodging on your part? If so, here’s a thought: you didn’t take any hits — and that’s still a win!

Over the last three months, I’ve been doing my #60Seconds videos. I had no idea the same advice I was giving to others would come back to challenge me directly. Thankfully, I wasn’t saying anything unrealistic. The past few weeks have forced me to revisit my whys, remind myself that my whats matter, and hold tightly to God’s promises. I’m so thankful I have Him to depend on. Unfortunately, I had to put a stop to the videos. I just didn't have the time or the presence of mind to continue. I'm more settled now, and plan to resume the videos real soon. 

This is a short post, but I need you to hear this: You are not the challenges that come your way! You can rise above them. Don’t let the weight of your problems hold you down.

I hope to see you at the top as always.

Sincerely,

Emaleecious

"Distrated"

Permit me to use this new word coined from Disappointed and Frustrated. Thank you. And no, I don't feel this way right now at all. Far from it. On the contrary I am on a high. *wink* Ok. I promised to do a post on my jewellery project, but I'll still get to do it. This story has been pushing itself to me since yesterday and share it I must. There was a Retreat for some of my colleagues  in May, and I was to be a part of it. Notice for the Retreat was rather short and it actually conflicted with my brother-in-Law's (BIL) wedding. Well, the retreat was in Benin for Tuesday to Friday, and the wedding was in Kwara State for Friday and Saturday. This meant I had to pack a suitcase for the 2 events, right? Well, my MIL had graciously sent me the fabrics (Aso-ebi) for the Traditional and Church wedding, and I still hadn't found a tailor to help me make something really nice. (I wanted to dress to impress my would be in-laws). AS time was running out, I ditched...

All of it...

Hello lovely people of blogsville!!! I hope you missed me half as much as I missed you? :) I am seriously clearing cobwebs, spiders, bats and all from this blog.  So I am married now shaaaaaa...after what, 3 years of dating this guy? God has been faithful, that the only thing I can say. I really want to thank you for all the congratulatory messages, tweets, love and all. God bless you all. You know you and you know I know you too. lol! Thanks a lot for still sticking to this blog, It honestly means a lot to me. To all my new followers, I appreciate you too! Ha, I went to the moon to "drink honey", and I am back to reality real time. Its been like 2 years since I took a break from work, and it was a beautiful experience (the honeymoon and the break from work) I tell you. Not that I haven't been entitled to a break, but I always tie them down to events, exams and what not, so I haven't really rested per say. I fear I have so much to say that I don...

Little clusters

I have been feeling out of sorts of late, not illness, not depression, just a bit detached from everything. I have no reason to feel this way, things are going well in my life, but there is just this ...thing I can't actually place my hands on. I know it's there, at the back of my mind, but I have decided to leave it there, at the back. I won't give myself headache for something I can't control. Why should I worry? My God is there to deal with it anyway! Its amazing how far a kind word, thought, deed or prayer will go. In this my "undefined" state, I suddenly saw a notification on my phone, it was a direct message on twitter by @gbemisoke, and she said a word of prayer for me. I can't express how I felt, but it was a word in season. I almost cried when I saw it, and I felt like in the whole universe, God had put a spot light on me. At the same time, I saw that a friend had changed her DP to my picture and her PM was "Friends are an important ...
