Little Pieces

I really love avocados — but they don’t grow overnight. They start as small seeds, hidden in the soil, watered, pruned, and patiently cared for before they ever bear fruit. That’s how life works too.   Fruitfulness takes time. There are seasons that feel slow, quiet, and even boring. Trust me, I’ve had days where everything felt the same, and I just wanted to move on to the “exciting” part of life. But God reminded me — nothing is wasted. Even the quiet seasons matter. To grow, we need to stay close to Jesus. That’s how we learn, grow, and become fruitful. It starts with obedience, even when it’s not easy. So instead of just waiting, prepare.  God is already working — even if you can’t see it yet. Don’t rush the process. You’re becoming something beautiful. “Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit…” — John 15:5 ESV ——————————————— Felt inspired by this post?

“No way!” That’s honestly how I feel when God answers a prayer I’ve been holding close. It just hits different — especially when it’s something I’ve fasted for, cried over, and prayed about for so long. This blog? It’s one of the ways God has shown me He truly hears me. When I asked Him to show me my purpose, it didn’t happen overnight. No loud voice, no sudden revelation. Just small steps of faith. But now, looking back, I see His hand all over it — and I’m completely speechless. Sometimes I don’t even know how to say thank You the way I want to. Because this isn’t the first time God has shown up for me — and I know it won’t be the last. It’s those moments where I find myself crying, smiling, and thinking, “Is this really happening?” You know it’s God when it’s so good you can’t even explain it. In Nigeria, we say, “this one na finish work.” That means it’s completely flawless. Because when God does it, He really leaves no crumbs. Was waiting easy? Not at all. Was it worth it? Absolut...

It’s easy to feel the pressure to settle — especially when loneliness starts creeping in. Honestly, sometimes I just want to connect with someone without overthinking it. If they seem kind and fun, why not just be friends? But the truth is, our hearts are precious — and worth protecting. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to guard our hearts with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. That means we can’t afford to be careless with who we allow close. Not everyone who smiles at you has pure intentions. Some people speak well but act differently. And that’s why we’re called to look at the fruit (actions) in people’s lives — not just their words or appearance. If someone is always discouraging you, seems uneasy about your growth, or isn’t walking with God — it’s okay to pause and reflect. This isn’t about judging them, but about being wise with who you give deep access to. Friendship is a beautiful gift, and it's meant to be mutual and life-giving. I’m still figuring it out too — ...

As a child, I was always fascinated by stories of wealthy people — bold, brave, and breaking limits. I’d hear how they built empires from nothing and think, “Wow, I want to be like that someday.” Eventually, I learned something deeper:  Wanting wealth isn’t bad. But wanting wealth without God? That’s where the problem lies. See, it’s not money that’s evil — it’s the love of money that is. (1 Timothy 6:10). Chasing the bag without first chasing God leaves you empty, even when your hands are full. So yes, it’s amazing to dream of success — just make sure God is your starting point. When God is first, He gives you divine ideas — what I like to call "Billion-Dollar Ideas." Ideas that bring glory to Him, bless others, and still build you up. Remember, The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. (Psalm 50:12). That means there’s plenty to go around — and God wants to partner with you to steward it well.  And here’s the good news: You don’t have to do it on your own. The Holy ...

This time last year, I was worried sick about your special day— Hoping to see your smile lines grow wild on a summer day. It felt like heaven’s gift just to see you, To feel your warm touch. I gave myself up for you. I would’ve handed the stars as a present to you But all that would’ve still not been enough. If only you knew the weight I carried— How your words pierced deep into my veins, How I held back tears wrapped in silent shame. I begged for your love in quiet groans, Wishing you could hear beyond my perfect grins. But it was all a fairytale. The scars on my heart cut deep— Deeper than the oceans' deep. I still wish you understood. I still wish you remembered my special day. I wish I had meant more to you. Maybe then, I would have stayed. But I’m glad I flew away. The Master says I am beautiful— That I am meant for more. I do not have to stay Where I’m neither valued nor appreciated. I am not a slave. I am worth loving. Like honey, I am the Master’s delight. So I let the memo...

I graduated from secondary school on July 23, 2023, full of big dreams and expectations. I had plans—solid ones. I wrote JAMB in 2024, praying and hoping to get into the university that same year. You know those prayers that sound like, “Lord, let your will be done”? Well, I prayed that too… and let’s just say, when God starts killing your will, it can sting. I cried—a lot. I studied so hard, spent hours reading, waited one whole year after graduation to write JAMB, and still didn’t get admission. It was heartbreaking. And as I write this, I still haven’t gotten in. But even in the middle of the waiting, I’m learning to say: Thank you, Jesus. Looking back, I now understand that God was reworking my plans to align with His. Maybe I wasn’t ready. Maybe He was protecting me from something I couldn’t see. But one thing’s for sure—His timing > mine. During this season, I’ve grown so much. I’ve built important skills and, most importantly, deepened my relationship with God. That’s a major...

I grew up seeking love and acceptance. I people-pleased the ones I called my friends. Still, I felt neither appreciated nor valued. When I was bullied, body-shamed, and pushed to the ground, nobody stood up for me. Nobody came to pick me up from the dirty floor.   The same friends I poured love and support into laughed and talked over me when I needed them most. So, I picked myself up, wiped my tears again and again.   I was cold as ice to myself but warm like the sun to others.   I laughed while I was hurting. I gave support while my heart bled. I was too scared to stand up for myself. I didn’t have the heart for revenge, so instead of punching my fist into the faces of those who had hurt me, I punched the wall.   I verbally abused myself while using my words to soothe the souls of others. Pain made me self-defensive and cold-blooded within.   You could never catch a tear on my face. But behind closed doors, my tears could crack glass. ...
