TGIF… Let me share this with you… I woke up this morning, had my devotion and afterwards headed to the kitchen to prepare the food our children would take to school. I was about to head to the bathroom so that I could get dressed and take the children to their school when I […]

Be Careful What You Wish For
I had my legs stretched out on the couch and then called my husband’s attention to how smooth they are. He reaffirmed to me how he just loves my legs and trust me, I was feeling on top of the world. 😂 Shortly after, I asked him if he remembered the prayers I told […]
Know Your Blood Type (group, genotype, rhesus factor)
During my PhD research field work, one of the children that was a subject in my clinical trials was very sickly and wasn’t responding well to treatment. The infant was subjected to a blood test and that was when it was discovered that the child’s genotype was SS. Right there in the hospital upon […]
Loved Though Messed Up
It was a Sunday evening… It had been a really tiring day for me because I had been up to several things that day while trying to get things sorted in preparation for the new working week. After I finished with all I needed to do, I returned to the living room and laid […]
The Push
I once lived in a house where the bathroom design had a little hitch. The problem was that whenever I had a bath in the bathroom, the water would not flow towards the drainage; the bath water usually gathered at a particular spot without showing any intention of flowing towards the drainage. I usually used […]
God Or Gold?
One day, I walked into our family doctor’s office shortly after the release of my first book, THE BEAUTIFUL BRANCH and I am reminded of an incidence that occurred that day. He had requested some copies which he intended giving out as gifts to some of his church members and I had gone to deliver […]
Who Do You Let Into Your Ship?
While running my Master’s degree programme, I lived in one of the school hostels. The block adjacent ours was occupied by some guys. There was a particular room on that block, where the occupants were always blasting music anytime there was electric power supply. One day, I just started humming one of the songs […]
Communicate and Take Dressing
I will like to share with you two incidences that occurred in my marriage; to let you know or further reiterate to you how important communication is in relationships and how you should react to sensitive issues when raised. The first incidence: There was a lady who was really close to my husband. They’d been […]
WHATEVER THE CASE
Reading the book of Philippians this morning brought great encouragement to my heart and I thought to share with you something from my gleanings. . . In the fourth chapter of that Book, Apostle Paul recounted how he was familiar with living through lack and plenty. He had learnt to manage the high and low […]
My PhD Experience
Just a few days ago, another one of my dear sister friends asked me a question I have been asked on several occasions . . . She asked, “How were you able to combine all the stuff you did while running your PhD program; being a wife, mother, blogger and obviously committed to church and […]
Words At Work
I had a chat with one of my daughters a while ago and our discussion really got me thinking. I listened as she recounted how her father told her countless times that she was useless. She unconsciously began to believe what her father said about her. This affected her for a very long time. She […]
False Health
During the course of my first year in the university, I fell ill and some of my roommates ‘dragged’ me to the University Health Centre for treatment (I didn’t want to go there). I was told that I was down with malaria and was given some injections and because I had an exam the […]
Whether You Are Caught Or Not
I remember back in high school how some students would take other students’ water in the hostel because there was water scarcity and rejoice that they were able to do so without being caught. It was called tapping… They would say, “Tapping is a game until you are caught, then it becomes a sin”. It […]
I Remember When I Was An Honourable
I want to share a part of my life that I remembered few days ago and which left me reeling with laughter; and thoughtful after my laughter session. I am actually thinking that I should be referred to as Honourable Omolola yet again😁 For real, I was an honourable back during my University days. You […]
Brush Swap
On Sunday morning, I went to clean the Church and as I swept the floor with the brush it occurred to me that if I turned the brush 180 degrees to the left and tried sweeping with it, it would feel weird in my hands. Aside from that, the brush didn’t seem to catch […]
BEYOND THE SURFACE
I was scrolling through Facebook News feed a while ago when I came across the beautiful picture of a beautiful woman, posted by one of my friends from way back. The picture had no caption and I had almost clicked on the LIKE button when I decided to read through the comments section first. […]
The Reverse Gear
On a certain morning just a short while ago, I went into the kitchen after our devotion to pack up lunch for everyone. Our daughter came in just a while later and said, “Good morning mum. God bless you in Jesus’ name”. I felt I didn’t hear her well so I asked what she had […]
Living With The End In Mind
I have a great desire. . . . . . To relax with my children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren at the end of my journey on earth and say to them like Apostle Paul said to his son Timothy, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have […]
Increase Your Capacity
The other day, I heard the Holy Spirit minister to my Spirit these words: “Many people pray that God should bless them when they are not ready to take the blessing” Let me expand this to you: If blessings or increase happen to an unprepared person, he will definitely fumble because he has not the […]
Dare Your Fears
Today, I want to share with you two major experiences I have had with FEAR. . . I had this terrible fear/hatred for dogs that lasted so many years. It all began when I was a young girl. I had lived with a dog owner who treated us (human beings in the house) badly because […]
