A few weeks ago I was crossing the road with my friend, I didn’t know when I started shouting “please hold my hand”. She was puzzled and told me to calm down that she was watching too. I didn’t doubt anything of what she said, it was when we got to the other side of … Continue reading Free

I rushed from a meeting on Sunday evening to join another online. As soon as I joined, I heard someone say “Rubie please take the minutes for the meeting”. I was tired from the previous meeting and I was late to this one so I had several resisting thoughts that were about to be vocalised … Continue reading Roller coaster

I sat through a 15 minutes prayer session last Sunday with some members of my church and the person leading us to pray led us using Matthew 5:14-15 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a … Continue reading Building blocks
New realities
When my dad suffered a stroke in 2016, while he was in a coma after his surgery, I remember my mum having several meetings with the neurosurgeons and cardiologists so often. We were already on edge due to the nature of the situation so whenever I spoke to her, I’d always ask what the doctors … Continue reading New realities

I got so used to it, … Continue reading We’re here.

It gets even more worrisome for me to realise that the 8 comprised of himself, his wife, 3 children and 3 daughter in laws. There was no other outsider. Not even extended … Continue reading The other family
Death sounds better…
I love encountering Christians that are brave enough to ask the questions that the majority of Christians shy away from. The ones who have become comfortable in their salvation and know that they won’t be guilty of blasphemy for saying things how it is on their heart. They’ve come to understand that reverential fear of … Continue reading Death sounds better…
Positioning taking priority
Reading about the life of Jesus will have you in awe of the kind of fearlessness Jesus displayed, in His words and actions. I read a scripture today and after getting an understanding of it, I thought to myself, “wow, the fearlessness of being Jesus”, and the Holy Spirit corrected me and said “no, it’s … Continue reading Positioning taking priority
The Wise, the Foolish and the Loved
Few things make me cry like an atmosphere filled with a tangible presence of the love of God. It’s so tangible you might be able to literally feel a presence around you. First time I experienced this was the afternoon I gave my life to Christ, the time I committed to walking intentionally with God … Continue reading The Wise, the Foolish and the Loved

Growing up in Nigeria and hearing people speak Hausa often around me, it was inevitable that the language will crawl up on me at some point, and it did, because a good portion of learning is subconscious. Hence why they often tell parents to be careful what their children are exposed to, because the environment … Continue reading Free extras
