The Word of God Gives Peace!

Hi guys, how are we? How is the whole Val’s aftermath? I hope you all had fun and were genuinely happy because really, that’s all that matters and I hope that you’re not saving up all your love for next year again because love is an every second event my darlings. Anyway, speaking on love, today I’d like to talk about the greatest of all; God’s love and specifically His Word.

Over the years, I’ve struggled through dark times and it seems to get more intense as I grow older. You realize you’re grown up and you’re practically accountable for yourself and all your actions. There’s no adult to call on or to blame because you’re supposedly adult enough to handle whatever the situation is. People expect you to know it all and when you fail, you’re scolded and judged by the world, including those who know you and those who don’t. Yes, it sucks but it is life and we can’t control what people think nor can we tell them how to react to things. However, we can talk to one who understands and when we can’t find the words to spill out our hurt, we can simply listen to His pure love as it heals our broken hearts.

Let's Talk About Love

Sooo, in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about love. I mean the pure kind, the kind that we should have for one another, not the epileptic kind which seems to have polluted the world today.

I always say, love is hard work! Don’t get me wrong, love is sweet, amazing and the best gift ever. 

However, when love is tested, it feels like a huge rock placed on your chest, or is that only me? No? Anyone? I know I have partners in this feeling. Now, love is not the enemy here, as people like to bitterly and I must admit poetically write about. Love in itself is amazing but the instruments of love; you and I, are humans bound to make mistakes in life and sometimes these mistakes cause pain to our loved ones. Many times, we really do not mean to but alas, it happens. 

I’m not about to go through the painful details of what we do with love or shall I say the consequences of love. I’m only here as a reality check for us all, to remind us of the ups and downs of human relationships and to reassure us that Love is eternal and Love has got us and I’ll summarize them with a few of my favorite love quotes below: 

My God & Me

Hi guys! How are y'all doing? 

I mentioned a few new changes to the blog. Yes, the look and now, a new very important section; My God and me. 

I’ve been meaning to add this section for quite a while now but for some unknown reason(s), I’ve delayed for way too long. I’m here now and glad to be alive to do this so hey, welcome to my very imperfect journey as a Christian. 

This section will cover my walk with God; I’ll be sharing things I learn, testimonies of how God has saved me and keeps saving me and others, hope in this dark world we live in, struggles, etc.  I hope you stick around and most importantly, I hope somewhere, somehow, the words here would save someone. 

Always and forever, love and light to you and yours.

Happy New Year!!!

I know it's kinda late but still... Happy New Year Everyone!!! 

It's been forever! How was your 2017? I don't know about you, but I'm super excited about 2018. Okay, okay, a little bit of fear and a truckload of excitement. I can't wait to see how the year goes. I'm very optimistic and I'm trying to put in all I can to make sure it goes the way I want it to and I advise you do same. No more, laying around wishing for good things, we're getting our asses off the couch and getting what we hope and pray for.

As you can see, I switched up the blog look, tell me you like it😊. There will be a few more changes soon. I just came to drop some love and wish you a wonderful year ahead. May this year be your best year yet!

Always and forever, lots of love💝!

The Great Nigerian Jollof Rice

Hi guys, how are y'all doing? I hope way better than the last time we spoke.

I don't know about you but I have missed talking about food and sharing delicious recipes, so today we're going to be sharing from our favorite food blogger, one of Nigeria's favorite dishes - Jollof Rice! Yeesss! Have all your jollof rice attempts turned out sad? Get in here, learn a trick or two today. I am proud to say, I've been told I'm a badass at this and I still learned a few more tricks in the last year from following and paying attention to my hardworking and blessed Nigerian cooks on Instagram. Learning new recipes is one of my favorite things to do, even though I'd rather someone else goes through the stress of making all the ingredients available. Now, buckle up, let's take your Jollof rice game to another level.

Hey guys! How’s it going at your end? Trust that you’re doing the best you can. Hang in there, it’ll all be great in the end.

I had planned a different topic to share with you today but this just popped into my head for some reason, and I really don’t know what brought it up. As I like to go with my heart sometimes, let’s talk about this then, shall we?

Did You Know About Diastasis Recti?

Hey guys, how are we all doing? I hope your energy is still very high and you're channeling it into the right things, people and places.

Today, we'll be talking about a health issue I recently learned about. I'm still wowed at the fact that I'm just learning about it. I mean, this is something I feel I should have known especially as it affects pregnant women a lot. Pregnant women/pregnancy is "my thing". At some point in my life, I wanted to be a gynecologist, that didn't work out, thankfully, but still, I like to know all I can about it and I keep learning from the blessed ones around me. To think that no doctor has mentioned this to any of my close mothers, (and please note that I have a lot of babies so many mothers, new and old and relatively old) is quite disappointing. Let's not dwell on that too much, let's go straight into the education for the day, shall we? Let's learn about DIASTASIS RECTI.
