Do I love people, or do I love what people can do for me? (Jesus, the prototype) Gorgeous... If you read Part One, you would remember that we were pondering if being an island isn't better than being in a friendship or relationship that constantly drains you. ( READ HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T) Well... In this part, there is another question I think we need to ask ourselves. Do I love people, or do I love what people can do for me? ────────── Sometimes, I wonder why I meet some particular kinds of people. I usually tell myself it's because maybe God wants me to learn something from them, widen my perspective, or whatever the case may be. Honestly, I don't really know. But I know this much. As someone who values her privacy to the core, I also enjoy having people simply "be" around me. Not necessarily to get or gain anything from their presence. Sometimes, I just want someone around to talk to once in a while. That is how I have always been... Until I met s...

Is Being an Island really so bad? **** On a normal day, I love love. But I do not know why people get married. ────────── One thing that I feel is unfair, but very much needed, is the fact that we cannot read minds.  We cannot truly tell what people think of us. We can only presume, interpret, or speculate based on their words and actions. And sometimes, even those can be deceiving. ────────── They say man isn't created to be an island. But what happens when the people who come into your life only take from you? ────────── Sometime ago, my mentor ( in the Lord, and in the flesh🥹, "Merrrrrr" if she ever reads this, Hi! Merrrrrr! My mentor, my life giver 😩😂🫡), and I were having a conversation. It was a long one, and we spoke about different things, but she kept saying some things that really hit me. These days, life seems to be all about struggling to make money. Very few people really want to simply live. In fact, very few people can even afford to live nor...

I shiver very easily. I mean, I could be feeling so hot, and you put on the fan or AC for me. Within minutes, I'll be shivering. The longer I stay under that cold, the deeper the shivering gets, until I'm practically shaking and my teeth begin to chatter. 😪 People say it's low iron. But I say maybe soft life just doesn't want me. I mean, how was I expecting to live in Finland when I can't even survive an air conditioner? 😪😂 But Gorgeous, today's article is more than a fun fact you probably didn't know about me. It will be a long read, but please, come, be patient. Let me show you something. ────────── Sometime ago, I started noticing something. There seem to be so many churches being established everywhere. Sometimes I pass by them physically; other times I see them on social media. And if I'm being completely honest, my first thought used to be: "All these people starting churches... who sent them?" "Do they even understand...

There is this young boy who comes to the house to keep my mother company while we are away. He is the son of a family friend, about 9 or 10 years old, or thereabouts. One day, I went home and my mother told me she had asked him to do something, but he was so glued to the television that after repeating herself almost three times, she quietly went and did the thing herself. She wondered what was so intriguing about the cartoon he was watching that nothing else mattered. It was as though he had been tucked into the television. I laughed. And then I remembered... Once upon a time , I used to be glued to the television like that. I used to be the first to run to the parlour to watch Tom and Jerry at the first beep of NEPA light. I was always ready to "stab" my siblings for the remote. I would use my last-born privileges to cry whenever they beat me to it. Oh, how I used to fight to watch television! Now , it has been over two years and even though every day I wal...

Dear Gorgeous, Before we head into today's write-up, I would love, just as an ice breaker, to share some things that crossed my mind during these two weeks I was away. I had a heavy writer's block. Not that I didn't have things to say to you, but I just couldn't seem to write them out. The ideas would come, but I would feel too lazy to pick up my notepad. Then they would go, and I would be blank again!😂 So, as I mentioned earlier, as a way of easing myself back into this, here are some of the things I saw, thought about, learnt, or simply couldn't stop thinking about: • The colours green and blue.  • The book of 1 Timothy.  • Love and sacrifice.  • A meme online that said: "After just a few days of creation, God saw that Adam no fit do anything, so He jejely went and created a woman to help."😂  Major roast alert!🔥😂  • Someone said to me, "Omo, true true, you are a writer," because I sent them a "very brief" 300-word gist...

Dear Abigail, "Hold on to loyal love and don't let go, and be faithful to all that you've been taught. Let your life be shaped by integrity, with truth written upon your heart. That's how you will find favour and understanding with both God and men—you will gain the reputation of living life well. Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on Him to guide you, and He will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with Him in whatever you do, and He will lead you wherever you go. Don't think for a moment that you know it all, for wisdom comes when you adore Him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that's wrong. Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for. Glorify God with all your wealth, honouring Him with your firstfruits, with every increase that comes to you. Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontainable source ...
