“I LIKE YOU, GIRL, IN PARTICULA” Call me crazy, but I felt this was God singing to me through the song ‘Particular,’ by Major Lazer running up and down the stairs of our house in Nigeria this morning. The love and attention I’ve been feeling from Him has just been indescribable. Like He is intimately …
DO I USE GOD AS A WAY OF COPING WITH MY TERRIBLE LIFE? (REPOST) I share my ups, downs, disappointments, frustrations, joyful and happy times, problems and proud moments, stresses and anxieties, weak, strong, brave and courageous moments to hopefully portray the fact that I’m going through this human experience just like everyone else, where …
“I’M GOING TO LAY UNDER THE TREE AS YOU GUYS’ CHRISTMAS GIFT!” That was my joke to my family that they didn’t find at all funny! Ember asked if I came with a receipt so that she could return me. Haha! But this year has taught me that it’s not what’s under the tree, it’s …
“GOD LOVES ME TOO TOO MUCH!!!” That was me bragging to my husband this morning after a day where God showed His invisible Presence with me THE ENTIRE DAY yesterday! Here’s how those God winks went down: The day before yesterday, I entered our showroom, and there was a couple there buying a car. I …

And that’s what I want us all working on, by God’s grace, being the WISE mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sons, daughters, friends, relatives, employers, employees, and …
“STILL FIGHTING MY DEMONS” That was my WhatsApp message to my siblings yesterday. To become better, we must address our weaknesses, and I know I have some evil demons within me that are always trying to get the best of me, but I’m fighting them. They go as far as waking me up in the …
“MARRIAGE IS LEARNING TO PUT UP WITH SOME STUFF WE DO NOT LIKE” (REPOST) I said this to someone over the phone on Saturday. After that conversation, in thinking about it, I said to my friend who I was with, “I’m going to make that the message of my next post.” I figured that if …
‘GOD, MAY I PLEASE STOP THE BLOG FOR NOW?’ I kept asking Him earlier this year when I felt stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, and like I was on the verge of losing my mind. No joke. It was a lot. But He kept saying, ‘No, Nik, the work for Me continues.’ Every day, I did my …
