Musings Of A Five Year Old; Let's Rock & Roll Episode 2.


'Amen' 'Amen' 'Amen'
My then two year old now five was saying Amen in response to my prayers. But the most surprising thing is, I wasnt praying in actual words. I was speaking in other tongues and we were in the bathroom. So it wasn't like I was alone somewhere in prayer mode. I was shocked to say the least. 

PRESENT DAY
'Mum are you praying'? 
'Yes I am' 
'Can you teach me how to pray like that'?
I was taken aback again but I said yes then proceeded to lay my hand on his head and pray for him to receive the power of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues.

I am sure you are wondering why I would do that and how did I think a 5 year old will be able to speak in tongues? I don't know how too, but mine is to obey, because the Bible says out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, God has perfected praise.

In this journey of intentional parenting, I have learnt to take advantage of the seemingly innocent and carefree moments I have with my kids. I have come to realise that they are more receptive at this time than when you are correcting them for bickering or for not sharing.
The conversations I have with my kids during bath time or at times when we are just relaxing always leaves me in awe.

I hope you find my post refreshing and inspiring as always. ❤❤❤

I Did Not Kill My Mother!!!

'So my children can not kill me' I don't know whose Mum never said this. It's even sweeter when its said in Yoruba. For real though! That's how I felt tonight. This post is a testimony and a recount of the antics of Mr 4. If 'Drive' was a person, it would bear his name. Or even 'Persistence'. Photo credit @pexels.com Some mornings ago, I told the boys if they follow me to the bathroom immediately, I will let them watch something on my phone for a bit. Even though I was still pressing my phone and not ready to get up. This is a tactic that always works and allows me have peace for a bit. Lol. Judge not! We all have days like this. Before long we noticed Mr 4 was no longer in the room, we found him in the bathroom already with his bathing bowl, sponge and soap making a lather and splashing suds everywhere. Fast forward to last night, hubby went out and brought suya along. I don't remember telling this boy anything about bath...

"Stay With Me" says The Lord.

I will stay with you Lord I will trust in you  I will hope in you only To perform your word I will stay with you Lord Even when it looks weird And things may look awry I will not be dismayed I will stay with you Lord It's not laziness Nor is it procrastination  Your plan is perfect I will stay with you Lord I will only go where you lead I am tired of shooting blanks I will not write that Linkedin post if you don't lead it You have the best plans Plans of good always So I will stay with you To know your plans I will stay with you Lord Even when it does not make sense Even when I may look crazy Staying with you is worth it I will stay with you Lord You alone satisfy my soul You alone are my desire You alone do I long for. I miss these deep writings, where I can express myself to God without cover or performance.

The Power Of A Beam

Today is Date night with the absolute love of my life and I am so excited. It's been a while we went out alone what with having two kids and no help, its being mission impossible but this weekend my sister is home from Uni and she looks forward to spending time with the kids. By 4pm I had completed all my tasks for the day at work and I was packed and ready to go. I was even contemplating going to meet my line manager if I could be allowed to leave 1 hour early 😂😂. We were going to this restaurant I and hubby had heard so much about from our friends and I wanted to take my time so I could look my best. Femi one of hubby's friends had gone to celebrate his girlfriends birthday there and he had only good things to say about them. Meanwhile the girlfriend turned fiance that night with a dazzling huge rock on her finger. Femis' fiance told her sisters about the oh so amazing place where she was proposed to and so they planned a family dinner, needless to say their experience...
