Quit Trashing!

Yunno, being kind and not necessarily harsh helps most times as you never can tell how God can use it to favour you.

Why this?

Sometimes ago, I boarded a bus, and the bus Conductor just kept toasting me.
For a fact, I hate explicit talks like that, especially with bus drivers/conductors. But that day I just tried calming myself down, by laughing/smiling along.

He kept talking and talking right from iyana Ipaja to igando and I kept smiling until I got down from the bus. Getting down was so relieving. But after that day, I realised something.

Anytime I got to the busstop (iyana Ipaja) extremely late, and his bus was next to load, he always gave me that preference.
Days when t-fare doubled and buses were few,  he'd secure me a space and  tell me not to pay as I wasn't a new person to him. But my conscience never allowed me enter without paying (even if I had to pay the original amount).

But today, there was no bus to igando at all. All the bus drivers were shouting "ikotun" "ikotun lon lo". Then he sighted me and said "customer you dey here?" And I was like no bus ni o...then he said "ha, I no dey go igando cos of holdup. But because of you, I go go".

So he spoke to the driver and luckily for me, the driver agreed. He then opened the front door for me and that was how I got a free bus to igando😭 (no no, I still paid him. I insisted😂).

But all this while guys, do you know he never brought up any dirty talk again?😁.

My point guys...show love to people around. No Matter how insignificant they seem. Be slow to trash people or speak rudely.

Thank you for reading my story. And to anyone who didn't, I love you more than you love yourself☺❤❤❤.

What A Journey!

I thought hard and long about what this article should entail. My head failed to come up with a lovely post, but an excellent mind came up with some soothing words. Here is a beautiful piece from a friend and devotee. LOL . I'm sure some of us can relate to its content. Kindly read aloud on your beds, savor each paragraph, and be strengthened. " On your mark Get set Go! These words were not spoken to me before I chose to pick up the baton to run this race. I kept running without looking back, still am. But I haven't stopped to wonder what type of a race this is. I mean, what type of a race validates a fall but rebukes a retreat, at the same time mandates its participants to uplift lagging/dropping mates right on the journey? What type of a race encourages its athletes to run, not for the medal at the finish line but a love for the journey What type of a race mounts up hurdles that limit its athlete's speed but strengthens their zeal ...

Wait on The Lord

How does it feel to be left on 'hold'  by God? Depressing? Fraustrating? Draining? Unproductive? I know just how you feel in case you're there right now.  We're together my dia! I know how useless you feel seeing people you're "better than" making progress. Not because of envy or anything, just that in your heart, you know you ought to be above your current level. You feel you're lagging behind and you have a lot to catch up with. You feel the enemy is after your soul, and the people from your father's side are possibly 'doing you' lol . No, my love. It just might be God telling you to hold on. You might be running too fast and He needs you to slow down. He has a plan for everyone, and in his mapping, there's a place for time.  The Bible makes it clear to us that there's a time to give and a time to refrain from giving. Also, a time to build and a time to sit back, and calculate the cost of building, before executing. For now, you...

Gratitude

I hope I get forgiven for being so far away, yet very close?🥺  A lot has been going on in my head and I promise to share once I can fully comprehend them. But before then, I thought to drop this here, and I hope it helps someone. I Got up to read one of my favourite devotionals this morning but when I saw the topic " Gratitude ", I just felt there really wasn't anything new to learn. Notwithstanding, I read it but definitely didn't study it.  Fast forward to me going about my daily activities with hindrances everywhere.  First, the cooking gas finished just in the middle of preparing breakfast, then many more annoying events occurred. At some point, I got really irritated and angry that I punched hard at a wooden door and flung it open (I still don't know how that door didn't come down, because the force I used on it ehn😂). I had a lot of frustrations that I had been suppressing, and the stuffs going on in the day were not helping matters.  Sadly, I took out...
