HAPPY NEW MONTH

 Hello, and happy new month. I am sad to announce that I failed the first attempt of my first-ever timed challenge, fair and square. But I'm only human after all. Yesterday I was so tired, that I passed out while writing the blog on my phone, I was exhausted. I had so much energy during the day. In an attempt to be better than yesterday, I decided to do all the tasks I've been holding off for the past few weeks. I  washed my shoes (about 13 pairs), made lunch, and also made dinner as well. If you saw me, you'd swear I was high on drugs.

Today I am back to typing on my laptop. I received my monthly data allowance yesterday. Since I failed the first attempt of the 365-day challenge, I am deciding to restart it. I am restarting the challenge from day 1. Every day when I blog I will indicate in the first paragraph how far the challenge is going. Today day 1/365. This is nice because now I can start the challenge on a brand new month. Let me mention that my mother and my eldest niece were born in June. My mom's birthday is in a few days and I have no idea what to get her, I still have a few days to figure it out though. 

If you're following the blog, please expect the first and last blog entries of the month to be longer than the usual length. On the first and last day of each month, I am going to be doing some reflection about things that happened in the past month and also things that I look forward to in this new month.

3 lessons I have learned in the month of May:

1. Avoid distractions as much as possible. Every time I feel like scrolling on my phone, I read my bible instead. I have downloaded a women's bible app on the Play Store, it has reading plans available. I have started a 365-day reading plan. this is going to help keep me more accountable in reading my bible and studying the word of God.

2. I am actually good with computers. Most times when my mom needed help with the laptop, I navigated through everything with ease. I have been contemplating registering for a short course in IT, coding, or something in the field. But I honestly might just consider it.

3. I am learning to trust God more. I cannot do this life thing alone. I realised this lesson on the smallest things like praying before I cook, or even do a simple task, it has been very peaceful 

Life is an everyday learning journey. So I can't say I have perfected any of the above-mentioned lessons in the past month.

2 things I would like to do more of in the new month:

1. Go out of the house more often. Believe me when I tell you that the last time I stepped outside the yard was on Wednesday. So I definitely need to go out of the house more often. Take a walk from time to time, visit the library nearby, and climb the mini-mountain close to my house, there are quite a few things to do outside the house.

2. Take better care of my hair. Washing my hair is one task I have been putting off for too long. I would definitely like to wear my afro out often.

2 things I am looking forward to in the new month:

1. My mother's birthday. and my niece's birthday as well

2. Seeing the growth of my blog, and my relationship with God

That's all for now, remember to engage, follow, share, and watch out for my next post.

Remember I love you, and Jesus loves you more

A moment of confusion: story of my life

 Today I would like to talk about something that I have been thinking a lot about lately. This involves someone of the opposite gender. Ever since I have given my life to Christ and actively sought Him, my perspective on romantic relationships has shifted drastically. Here is the story, grab a chair, it's quite long... Let me give the guy the name K. K and I have known each other for about 5 years now. We tried something back when I was in high school. It wasn't really a relationship, but at that time, it was the closest I had to a relationship. This was because was unavailable most of the time because of my strict parents and also because we lived far apart, and could only see each other whenever I got a chance to go to town, which was not very often. So most of our relationship was on the phone, basically, our relationship deepened on the phone.  Things were going smoothly until I lost my phone at school, we didn't communicate for about 3-4 months. I could only contact hi

Happy New Week

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today is day 10/365 of blogging everyday for a year. My life is so boring, I have no idea what I will be blogging about in the next 355 days, but please bear with me, because God is good.  Remember the things I said I am looking forward to in this new month ?, they're currently stagnant. But I have a small amount of hope that things wiI start moving. I haven't left the house since this month started. It's been quite a while since I stepped out of the house, the idea of it kinda scares me now.  I am dedicating more time to reading the Bible and spending time with God, and this 'boring' phase in my life is exactly what I need to focus on myself and my relationship with God. As I mentioned some time ago, I am taking a break from social media(Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), for some time. I have made an exception with YouTube, I will only allow myself 3 videos a week max. This break is going to help me reduce external voices and/or influence in my

Being a student/ learner

 What does it mean to be a student? Is it only going to school and sitting in class? Let me tell you what I think. Being a student is about being teachable and willing to learn new things or to learn old things differently. I believe an old dog can be taught new tricks, no one is ever too old to learn anything. At the end of the day, life is the greatest teacher. So as long as you're still alive, make every day an opportunity to learn something new. There was a point in my life where I felt like everything was going south, I kept asking myself "Why is this happening to me ?" and someone said to me "The question you should be asking is "What can I learn from this ?" That response forever altered my thought pattern and my overall perception of life. This helped me to get out of the victim mindset and actually learn from different situations. The same applies in school if you fail a grade, you will find yourself repeating another year in the same class, with d
