Dear Lord...

Lord in you I have found refuge and solace even in times of need. I am amazed at how a big God like you can care about an infinitesimal minuscule like me but You do because Your word says so and You honour Your word higher…way higher than Your name! I was created in Your image and You inscribed my name on Your palm. Now that is amazing Lord especially when I know the earth is Your foot stool…I can’t begin to imagine what Your palms are like… You loved (still do) so much that You sent Your only begotten son to die for my sins…now that’s major! You love me so much that You care about every tiny detail that involves me…as a matter of fact, a strand of hair can’t leave my body without You knowing about it…Lord I’m amazed… So I know that nothing ever happens to me by mistake; it is all working together for good. Though I can’t physically see You, I see You around me…I see Your goodness and I see the reality of Your love all around me…only a fool will say there’s no God…or how else can one e...

When love hurts

The ones with the power to hurt you most are the ones you love most...now I'm not talking about the relationship between a man and a woman...I'm talking about the usual philia relationship between friends,siblings etc. When I say you are my friend, I have exposed a part of me that I won't normally show the whole world and that in itself is deep. It takes a lot of trust in you to make me call you my friend...only a friend knows the "best" part to stab you...that'll hurt deeply... sometimes, we fight to deepen our relationships and sometimes...the fight only helps us to realise this relationship was for a season... sometimes...it takes the agape kind of love to make me want to relate with you regardless of what you've done or... said ... Right now...I need a long dose of agape...Jesus take the wheels!!!

How to say no "nicely"

My people see me see something o! Please how do you tell a guy NO and mean NO in a very nice way? Seriously o! When it comes to guys and relationships…one thing I notice I lack is “TACT” as in I tell it as it is…I don’t care who’s ox is gored! So for instance if a guy walks up to me and asks me out etc…once I’ve said no, I expect the guy to step aside and let me be…and if he persists…kai…that is YAWA! ‘Cos I’ll give him his life history and even lecture him a bit about his future! Well this has been the case till I became closer to my maker and I realised I needed to be relatively “civil” to people If I want to lead by example… So that’s where I’m at right now…I don’t want my faith to be questioned at all…but if this guy can’t understand the simple plain ole English I’m speaking to him… Meeen I may have to resort to proper jungle language…unless I get a line that works from you guys...

Growing a business...

I got a mail from a friend and it showed the interior of one of the Google European offices. I really don’t know how true this is but…I was flabbergasted! It got me thinking about doing business again! I just thought to myself my goodness…when/how will I ever be able to build a great organisation like this? I know it is good to start small and think big (cliché!) but how does one get to this point? How does an individual start a business that will outlive him/her? Any takers in the house? P.S I’ve been trying to upload the pictures that left me gobsmacked forever but I can’t seem to get a hang of it…either that or there’s a restriction on my computer(am at work!).

Understanding the Enigma Called Me

For a very long time, I saw myself through the eyes of others. I saw me the way they saw me…I never disappointed; …They say she is crazy…then I act crazy… They say she is blunt and daring…then I act blunt and daring… What a fool I was! ...” Confident fool ” as the Amplified Bible will call it. So I decided to go on a journey… A discovery journey to understand who I am and what I’m about. But then, I realised I could only know me through the one who made me… So I resorted back to the manual of life…to give me direction … I am still on that journey and everyday has never been the same. Slowly but surely…I am getting there.

To be...or not to be?

Sometimes I wonder Lord; Am I in the right profession, my heart yearns to be an entrepreneur but my body can’t seem to make the move to be…what I desire to be. People talk about the “great potential money” to be made as an accountant…especially within the financial services…but when I hear this all that goes through my mind is…is it worth it? Is it worth giving my whole life to an organisation and getting paid a large sum of money that I won’t even have the time to spend? Is it worth it not having a life for a very long time (probably for as long as the span of my career) in the name of having a J-O-B (just over broke!). Is it worth the hassle, toiling morning and night at something you know will never be yours regardless of what you do(even EDs are sometimes forced to resign)? I keep saying I want to be an entrepreneur but the fear of the unknown alone will not let me lift a finger in that direction. And the: what ifs…yes what about the ifs… What if it was a big mistake? What if I ca...
