“LET ME ORDER THESE PARTS BEFORE YOU GO LOOKING FOR THAT PERSON’S WIFE”
Was me having some fun with my husband after he complained that he wished I was more like a friend’s wife who was very on the ball with helping him purchase needed items. At first, I was very hurt. Especially after an evening out with the kids and my husband gave them a whole speech …

‘I NEED A WIN RUN’
That’s the name of the excellent run I did for three miles yesterday. This life will try and get us down, but we have to keep reminding ourselves that we’re a part of God’s WINNING team. Heehaw! Despite the setbacks and challenges that want to get in our way, we can break through them or …
I’M LITERALLY AFRAID TO HIRE ANOTHER HOUSE HELP!!!
After the last EVIL experience I had with my cook, I’m scared to bring another new person in my house again. She came on a mission to destroy my home and don’t think I’m being dramatic, either. Stay alert! And stay close to God! The devil comes to kill and destroy. And like I always …

“I’LL NEVER TAKE THAT FROM ANYONE”
That was from one of my daughters this morning when we discussed a character from a movie we watched yesterday. So, I gave them one of my talks about how I want them living life from a perspective of: “God, what would YOU have me to do here?” I know they are so tired of …
MY JOY IS GONE
My housekeeper, Joy, that is. Unfortunately, we MUST hold everyone in our lives with OPEN HANDS because no one will be with us forever. WE CAN BE SURE OF GOD, but when it comes to other people, that’s a different matter altogether, let me tell ya. But Joy has left me with lots of lessons. …

“MOMMY, I HATE YOU! I ONLY LOVE DADDY”
That was from my wonderful son, Emmie, the other day when I accidentally mentioned something about his younger brother, Joshie, as if I was comparing the two . Then, his sister, Ember, jumped in saying I do the same thing with her, scrutinizing her against her sister Julie. So, I’ve been the hated mom of …
“YOU’VE BEEN A GREAT ADVISER!”
I said yesterday to a person God Himself sent my way! I was calling to say thank you for being my sounding board on a critical issue I had going on that ended up turning out so well. Out of 180 million Nigerians, God connected me with her, and my life has been DRASTICALLY changed …
“YOU PRESENTED HIM AS A HORRIBLE PERSON…”
“…You don’t even seem to realize you did this. Nobody is going to admire a man who insults his wife at a party. If you want people to admire your husband, you need to tell a different story about him.” I LOVE THIS COMMENT because I’m going to use it to be very REAL with …
