Out of a Grateful Heart

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 KJV




These are the things I am grateful for this year:

● Waxing stronger in spirit
● Waxing stronger in spirit
● Waxing stronger in spirit
● My journey into God


2023 marks the second year I joined the online space. And that year, I had to let go of hopes I was holding onto due to the fact that I didn't like the way things were going for me and felt if I worked harder and "blow" and "become popular," things would get better for me and my family. I was working really hard, doing the multi-potentialities duty, and still wasn't satisfied. In late May, I received an instruction to let go of all I was doing and give Christ my full attention. It was quite hard at first (I would have to let go of bearing the titles I had earned, "professional ballet dancer, writer, brand designer, artist, campus journalist").



 Things weren't getting any better, so I gave in  the long run. I can tell that this is the best decision I made this year. I have peace like never before, and I no longer worry about tomorrow. I have placed it in the hands of the one who owns it. One thing is for sure: if God is in it, it'll unravel beautifully. I no longer worry about my end (I know someone who has seen the end ahead of time; He gives the leg for the end). I can tell how God is so intentional about me; each step of the way I keep seeing contents that are aligned. The best part is that He surrounded me with really "beautiful people".



This is just the beginning, and I am super excited! 🦋

This is the testament that "GOD CAN BE TRUSTED"

🍓 Your Favorite Bible Prescription  🍓  And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD  had visited  the children of Israel, and that He had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. Exodus 4:31 KJV This was one of the Worship chants I played when I was in a very low moment last year. All I could do was  thank God, I was practically out of what to pray for that all I could do was to give thanks. I knew I was not just giving thanks because I was tired of waiting but because there's so much more God was preparing me for, and there's a greater weight of glory (Eternal Life) that He could give me.  I would cry and cry and listen to the songs all over again and again each night.  El ROI, The ONE that sees me, God saw me right at that moment even if I felt I was alone. God saw me. Just like when the Children of Israel were in Egypt lamenting and calling on God to look upon them, not knowing...

Letting Go For Something Better

  Your Favorite Bible Prescription : Haggai 2:9 "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts." NKJV 🍒                      🍒                        🍒  Heyyy friends, it's been a while, I knowww  Trust y'all have been well?  The past few weeks, I have been brainstorming how I can make my audience (you) more about this blog. Why, because?  My audience is my priority and voila! I came up with this topic, which led to an interview session with a personality chosen by my audience - to - be.   REWIND : I conducted an interview with a personality from the student clique of life and here's what he has to say Oladokun Dammy is year 4 student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria, studying Agricultural Management.

 Lately , God has been teaching me what it looks like to really submit, versus what we have termed it to be. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV In January 2022, I was in search of where I'd stay for school because I didn't get a bedspace and going from home wasn't an option (it is quite a distance, apart from the odds of sitting in traffic for hours, daily stress, and headaches). I had already explored all my options with negative responses here and there before I remembered that I didn't put God as my number one option. Yes, I had prayed, but I still put the other options ahead before turning to God. I asked everyone possible if they could help, but none came.  Not until I was just randomly chatting with Victoria Adenuga (who is now one of my best friends 😌), I can remember that I was crying vigorously when I was typing the mes...
