#FaithSeries: Don't Leave Me






The Sun smiled gently that morning. The trees and grasses gladly stretched and danced in the wind. The weather was so cool. Jadesola yawned as she got up from her bed and decided to get ready for her virtual meeting with one of her clients, Mr Kalejaiye.

She had snoozed all her alarms so she only had about an hour to get ready for the meeting. “This lock down effect seff” she said, as she squeezed some toothpaste on her fancy toothbrush. As she sat at her work desk to get connected to the platform where the meeting was scheduled to take place, she decided to quickly check her messages on Instagram. “What’s up with the gram today” she muttered under her breath as she minimized the window for the meeting which was to start in about 10 minutes.  

Well, she had no messages and so decided to take a look at some videos. She came across the words- ‘Don’t leave me’ and was curious to find out what it was about. Apparently, it was all about having great ideas from little things around and the other person running after the speaker who had just dropped some words of wisdom. It was quite hilarious. She paused.



The meeting with Mr Kalejaiye was quite productive. They discussed about the upgraded version of his customer care App. There was quite a lot to put in place for the successful operation of the application. She would have to call other members of her team to work tirelessly on the new project.
Later, that evening, she picked up her Bible to read a chapter. To her, doing that would help her feel less guilty and at least have something to say when her Mum calls and ask the one billion naira question, ‘what was the word for today?’  
As she turned the pages of the Bible, she read these words- I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5). Her mind slowly reiterated the words but all she could say aloud was, ‘don’t leave me’.


It’s a two-way street. Jesus assures us of always being with us. He is wisdom personified. So we can always run to Him to draw from Him. But, we also have to make a commitment not to leave Him. We have to stay connected to Jesus so we can move in the path divinely orchestrated for our lives. 
Don’t leave HIM!

WE MOVE

2020! Quite an unprecedented year. I am sure you have stories and experiences that shaped your life this year. I do too. Alot. For some, 2020 was a roller coaster. One minute everything was 'normal', the next minute, there's a pandemic that makes you think twice before hugging your neighbour and which declares a face mask an essential 'accessory'. These persons focused on taking one day at a time because of the unprecedented nature of the year. For others, 2020 was the year of their dreams. They were able to implement plans and achieve their goals. The lockdown helped them reflect on their lives and take the necessary steps in the right direction. Did you  just say 'abegggi'?...hold on! Irrespective of how 2020 was for you; good,  bad, 'in between' (yes, this category definitely exists), accept the fact that we can not go back to January 2020 to change things or re-start the year. The only option is to MOVE forward. Now, in mo...

I'M BACK!

Image
2021 has been an eventful year so far! I know it's been a minute. Errrrr, maybe more than a minute. It's been 11 weeks!😂😂😂  I resumed in January 2021 to complete my training at the Nigerian Law School. The pandemic extended the academic calendar and so, I had to use the remaining time judiciously. Rounded off my bar exams last week. Thank God for everything, honestly. I. AM. BACK. 😊 Watch out for amazing and inspiring contents on academics, faith, and lifestyle. I have plans to share my academic journey from the University to Law School with you especially the lessons I learnt and tips I believe will be helpful for undergraduates and aspirants to the Nigerian Bar and so many other amazing contents. I think the appropriate question at this point is:    Thank you for saying YES! Pheyy. 🤗

#YoursTruly03: OLD PLAYLIST

Image
                      I love music. I think that is an interesting fact about me because no day passes without music being a major part of my 24 hours. I have a thing for lyrics and beats too. Once it blesses, edifies and inspires me, there’s a playlist for it. Some days ago, my entire last added playlist rearranged itself. I was like “who sent this one message” at the beginning because, my newly downloaded songs were lost in the crowd of my very long list. But, I realized that some of the songs I was seeing were my jams back in the day.  It’s a cycle. The least played song on your playlist was once the song on repeat and there was a time when that song resonated with your entire being.                 Infact some songs reminded me of some challenges I had passed through at a particular phase of my life. What about the ones that were always on repeat during study ...
