Instructions & Obeying


On the 13th of March, after church, we held hands and prayed. 
The week before 13th, I got the instruction in Church that we should always pray when we get home after service. So that's where this after church prayer originated from.

Back to 13th of March, my 6 year old son went first. He prayed beautifully if there is anything like that. He thanked God using clear and meaningful words, to be honest it was better than the way his brother prayed. Even though after his prayer, he started kicking his brother but at least we got that win. 

I believe one of the reasons this was possible was because of an earlier instruction I obeyed in the last quarter of 2022. The Holy Spirit told me, 
"Take my children to church". "The boys need to start going to church".
Ah tor. The die is cast. 

For the past 9 years that I have worked shift, going to church for me hasn't been consistent. I had sunday off days once in 6 weeks. I am either working morning or afternoon shift. And even then covid made things worse. Going to church became non existent. We would go only once in 6 months after covid. I didn't like it but I didn't know what to do and how to change things. 

So I told my husband, this is the leading I got, you need to take them on days I am at work. 
Thank God we have been consistent since then. 

My point is, Ore didn't like church. He Point blank told me it was boring and takes too long. He just didn't like it. He would not even want to pray during night devotions. 
But God said, I will be their teacher, I played my part and God did the rest. 

I was so happy when after a few weeks they both had great feedback about church. They were happy about going to church and even looked forward to it.

So what has God been telling you to do? 
It might be so minor, you may want to dismiss it, please don't. Stay with God. There is a plan for everything. 

Bonus: I was promoted in January after 10 years at the same role and now I work Monday to Friday. We attend church services together as a family. Won't God do it?

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...
