I Remember

 


I can’t remember


I can’t remember praying for him or my journey.

I can’t remember praying for an excellent service but I remember making a request.

My spirit must have said a quick prayer to the Holy Ghost reminding him of my lack of desire to suffer this year.


There were cries and pledges and requests made to my Heavenly Father in January 2022.

I wiped my tears fast. The days in January became short as soon as I stopped wallowing in my situation like Hannah.


Then My Father in Heaven hastened my days in February.

As usual, He’d seen me enter a pit, I dug for myself the previous month and held me close as I struggled with letting Him work while I rested.

I was nearly disgraced but He didn’t allow it.

Instead, He let my light shine.

He surprised me and my listeners with the words of my mouth and the work of my hands.


He gave me glorious days in March.

I recounted many levels I’d skipped

And just when I got drunk on the levels and His ability to hold me when I fall, I got a caution.

A still small voice telling me; S T O P, S T A Y.


He didn’t call to confirm.

He said yes to all my demands: that’s how you know God sent them.

He waited patiently for me when I got to my destination to bring me back to my preferred abode that evening.


I remember laughing with him as I shared a Marry Me that I’m reluctant to make public.

He wanted to know who and which denomination.

He wanted to fight for me.

Even his beards didn’t turn me off.

I loved that he told me he’s very single.

Loved how he prayed they won’t collect the household item I wanted to send home.

He wanted to buy it.


He was also attracted.

He insisted I stay indoors until the person came to collect the item.

He wanted to protect me from “more trauma”

This was after saying I should experience more trauma to heal so I can be unaffected by terrible events.

He got out and waited for me to ask for help in negotiating.


I really love smart and intelligent men.

There are still very good men out there.

Good people who help not for what they want in exchange.

God must be hiding them from me 

He occasionally releases them to ensure that I value them.

I Am Grateful For My Father

Today, I'm grateful for my father. He made a lot of sacrifices, shielded my siblings and I from the ills of the society till we "got out of hand". Lol. My dad traveled a lot. I'm not sure he had a formal education but he wanted that for all his children and he put in a lot of effort. I believe his experiences shaped him and I am glad that they did. When he saw one/any of us brilliant (in academics), he planned for his/her future. He sold a couple of his lands to further our education. I wanted to travel alone to my home town in 2008, my dad was against it but the adventure in me wanted that experience, I also wanted to see my namesake who was also my grandmother. I know now why my dad wanted shielded us. The truth is in the fact/reasons why people from my place aren't proud of where they came from. A couple of times, he asked me for the magic in remaining employed or changing jobs and I'd laugh. If you are reading this and you don't kn...

Book Review: Born Again by Dag Heward-Mills

Picture from Google Born Again by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is a short but great read. For me, It is great reminder of salvation and that Hell is real. The author explained: What it means to be born again.  What people think being born again is, that's wrong. He explained with biblical examples that the term Born Again means to be re-produced or re-created He talked about the different levels of hell and described hell fire. He said that hell has different stages  citing Deut 32: 22 which talked about the LOWEST HELL. He mentioned the steps to salvation and what to know/do after repentance/salvation. Dag Heward -Mills said we can't remember all our sins but we should always ask for forgiveness when we pray 1 John 1:5-9 I had to check myself again and ask for forgiveness after  reading this book.
