Yay! Yay! Yipee! Hurray! *Ye da Nyame Ase o!*

Today is a good day, people.
Thank you all for the support.
You guys – and girls – are amazing.
Thank you for being amazing.
And oh, did I mention you were amazing?

We hit 500+ reads today!
I should drink tea to celebrate. You should share the link to celebrate. *insert winking emoji*
You rock.
Seriously, you rock.

P.S: On a more serious note though, thank you all for being so nice to me. You deserve a giant hug.

And, if any of you is dealing with any difficulty today, please remember that there is a time and a season for everything under the sun – Ecclesiastes 3.

Don’t forget that the Lord will never leave, nor forsake you, but with the temptation and/or trial, provide a way for escape.

Trust God.

Believe God.

He’s never failed, and he sure won’t start now.
Pretend I’m not low-key quoting Oceans right now ;)


Proverbs 16:3-4
“GOD made everything with a place and purpose;
Even the wicked are included – but for judgment.”


I have been through so much these past few days, and I have cried till my tears refused to flow anymore. I have questioned God – his existence, and why he stands by watching all these things happen to me.

But if there’s one thing I’ve learnt today, it’s that everything has a purpose, and all that has a beginning will have an end.

The tears won’t last forever.

You will survive, you will thrive.

WE will survive. WE will thrive.

New Rest

-

Entering into a season of rest. These few weeks have been stressful; truth be told they have been a bit more than I can handle, and then some. I have walked away from relationships, left home, and tried this whole "Adulting" phase by myself.   It has NOT been easy, and constantly I am forced to consider the decisions I have made. All this change because I had lost my peace, had disappointed the people I loved, and thrown a wrench into the unit I called family.  I was beating myself up over mistakes I had made when I was much younger, and more stupid, and now I was learning that people do not forget, and that very few people forgive. I had walked away from my past, but it still followed, and nothing I could do could change the me people saw.   I was in dire need of peace. Rest from it all.   Suicide and depression were calling all 4 of my names, and God knows how many times I tottered over the edge of that cliff.   One Saturday I couldn't ta

FLAWS

 FLAWED I am irresponsible and that is just me.   I like to blame my thoughtless actions on other people, because that’s just me.    I am often selfish. And when I make sacrifices for other people, I like to think about my goodness, and how saintly I am; to be doing this or that for the other person. I gloat. And dwell on the amazing abundance of my heart, the goodness that flows from within. Simply because I spared that fat woman in the *trotro* an insult, when she accidentally stepped on my purple sneakers. I am a monster. And that is just me. When I am angry, There is no calming, no peace, no intervening. Because I will rant, and shout, and cry, and throw things, and hurl insults; firing guns with my mouth. Because I will storm out and curse all that is beautiful and pure. I will look at the skies, and curse God, saying “You think you’ve done something aama.” “The sun is too hot, and it’s giving people cancer. C

The Heart's Content

The thing with hearts is that they are rebellious. They simply won't sit still. They defy time. And space. And gravity. Hearts are deceptive. Hearts are loud. They make like hail on tin roofs, protesting peace of mind with a frightful racket. The heart is a rebel. Which is why she still thinks of him years after he's gone. Why he still goes through her Instagram feed and pretends to himself he doesn't care about the men crowding her comments with compliments. The heart tends to get what it wants, This is why I don't like to eat oats. And why I pick every single green off my meal. Even though I know within my iron-deficient self that's the one way I'll grow. The heart is treacherous, Why even while yelling to everyone willing to listen, "she's a closed chapter in my life" - it's not the slightest bit convincing. And we all know he's lying to himself. Do what your heart says, they tell
