I trust to keep sharing as God places in my heart. A note may have to be shared soon.
If you are new here, there are more than 200 posts to read. Free books to download. Fictions and Poetry to purchase. Podcasts to listen for free. All of this can be assessed from my homepage or the MENU button.
The reason I am recently mentioning when my posts were initially written is because:
As at the time you are reading the post, it is not my current deposition. Therefore, the tone of the post is specific for the time I wrote and not a current tone.
I hope I made sense.
Common Phrase
Believe in yourself
But what does it mean?
There are days I am full of energy and content with myself and the things I am doing.
There are also days, when I do not feel confident of my abilities. I feel like I am not doing enough or I am not doing anything well.
More like not proud of myself in anyway
In these moments, I am either content and happy or discontent and unhappy.
Fluctuations
I know I am not the only one who feels this way sometimes.
Motivation
As much motivational words have become a norm and to an extent trivalised or even ridiculed, I still find them important.
There are times the words you thougjt you never needed will become an important push to help you continue your life journey.
You understand what I am saying
Pride or Affirmation
What is affirmation?
I have heard people say that you should stare at the mirror and say words of affirmation.
One of the ways I often interprete it is looking into the mirror and somewhat chanting words to yourself..
🤐
Another way is that it an intentional action to remind yourself of the beautiful things you can do and not focusing on weakeness.
But weakness is true strength
Don't hate weakness
There are times, I perceive these affirmations as words of pride.
Like why are we sometimes obsessed with ourselves
Are we doing it because we need to encourage ourselves or because we just want to feel good or because we want to feel better than others?
Why?
Weakness is not bad because it reminds you that you need help from others.
That you need help from GOD
Do you still hate weakness?
Why?
N. B
Weaknesses are relative. Some are simply destructive to us and others. Some are unintentionally part of our lives. Some are things we cannot do much about.
What to Believe in?
What do you believe in?
Where is your hope placed in?
Do you know?
Or is your answer a cliché that you have said multiple times until it lost it’s meaning?
Have you taken your time to know?
I believe in the word of God. I believe in Jesus. I believe in the Holy Spirit. I believe in God.
Simply call me a Christian 😊
And my belief is the main source of my reflections. It is the place I turn to to navigate my high and lows.
It is my reflector
In the times when I feel excited about the things I have been able to accomplish, my first reflector is my belief.
Is God pleased with what I have done?
When I am downcast and do not think I am doing good enough, my first reflection is my belief.
What does God think of me?
These thoughts have helped me and they would keep helping me.
Amen
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (King James Version)
Understand that I do not need to only believe in myself but rather I need to believe in God first and through His strenght, I do all things as I should do.
Therefore, my victory would not be solely for my glory but they would be to the glory of God who is exalted in every part of my life; high or low.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (King James Version)
Amen
😊
If you have not seen this note in a previous post, I share it for you.
I started an art series on Instagram recently. All of the art works are handmade and not digital like most of the ones I have shared on this blog.

Somewhere down on this page, my Instagram and Twitter icons are placed and by clicking them you can easily check out my page.
I trust God to complete the things I need to do.
I should have put this under MOTIVATION but I did not want to distract you 😊. If you are yet to download the collection of inspirations that is free on this blog. You can simply download it here.
You should be used to this by now. I mean the preambles.
As usual, the purpose of this part is to ramble properly before I write what the topic is about. This topic was supposed to come afterwards, it pushed the original that was supposed to occupy this space but it would not leave my mind, it persisted more than the original topic, and maybe just maybe it was meant to be first.
You will know the topic that was supposed to occupy this space in the next post🙂
THOSE MOMENTS😶
There are moments when nobody acknowledges your super powers
There are moments when your shouts are whispers
There are moments when you feel smaller than a dot
There are moments when doubt is stronger than faith
There are moments when you are not a believer in yourself, when you dismiss your existence
There are moments when you wonder what you are doing….
There are moments when everyone you know is doing better than you
There are moments you wonder if you will ever win
There are moments you wonder if you will ever wake up from your dreams……
In those moments, your illusions are stronger than reality and I will tell you: Those illusions may become reality…..👻
WHEN ILLUSIONS DEFEAT REALITY
Those illusions can defeat reality.
The reality that you can overcome.
Those illusions may sink you in the mire of never-land.
The illusions may become your life drive and soon reailty becomes an untold story…
REALITY🌈
Truth is: you are a step ahead of yourself.
You are where you are supposed to be, even it seems backwards….
Let me rewrite that…..
Where you are may be where you should be and if you decide to remain in that spot then maybe you are meant to be in that spot……😶
Reality is: You are better if you want to accept
Truth is that you have hope since breathe exists in your nostrils, in your trachea, in your lungs, in your red blood cells 💅
Truth is: You have blessings that no one can take away from you except you….
Truth is: The world is waiting for you
Truth is: You have time if you are alive
Truth is: You can do what you can
Truth is: Everyone may never hear but some will be interested
Truth is: You are original and if you want to do it, it can be different. The driver I talked about in the previous told me “If you wan do am, even if many people dey do am, your own go different”😊
Truth is: Somebody likes you
Truth is: It is not only you
I AM PROUD OF YOU🙌
In the moments that I feel less of me, I will remind myself of my achievements. The ones that many people dont know.
In the moments I realize I have gotten older and some of my childhood dreams are still there, I remind myself that I have taken steps that was part of the dreams
In the moments I feel I am a dot, I remind myself of how much I am grateful to be me.
In the moments that the doubts reappear, I remind myself, I tell myself: I AM PROUD OF YOU
I am proud that you have not given up even when you dared to
I am proud that you remember that you have super powers
I am proud you are still existing
I proud of the kind of soul you are..
THE NEW ANTHEM🏳
Expect these precious moments, for they will come.
And when they do, remember I told you
Reality is what you accept it to be…..
Are you proud of you?
If your answer is no…..don’t worry you will get there🔜
It is more than a week my birthdate passed, my 365 days. It has been adventure being alive, an experience I am grateful to experience, not because I wished for it but because my life was spared to experience.
There are special times that prayers are needed like crazy, like the way you scramble for crumbs after starving for days without any meal. I really missed sharing words. I still have more than 10 posts waiting for me. More than 10!🤒 This is my favourite month because my day is in it, and because it is a four letter word, and because June sounds pretty, and because June is June😇😘
But then, this month did not allow me express but I still love June like the way I love cats even after they try to scare me in my sleep😂😂. You can call it true love😂😂💝💝
You will need prayers, and someone would be praying for you. The times when you are weaker than you could imagine, strenght would come because someone is praying for you. This topic is two months old but how beautiful it fits now. At this moment I am typing it and at the moment you would read it.
How beautiful are prayers, hearts in beautiful tune with maker, words that maybe no one can hear reaching the heavens. How beautuful it is to just pray and talk to God. I am listenely to Even when it Hurts by Hillsong, and it fits beautifully. You can say that everythings is fitting beautifully when you surrender to God. When you surrender to His tender arms. How beautiful is the peace that flows after the tears are shed. How I love being there, in God’s presence, knowing He wraps me well. I speak of what I experience. I share what I know. I share what has been real to me. I share as it comes because it comes from a real place. Somebody is praying for you when you cry, when you worry. Somebody is praying for you when you doubt, when you are tired of life, when there are no answers to your throbbing questions, throbbing pain.
The song playing now is With Me by Gil Joe and Nkay. I love the song so much, like the way I love cats💝💝
Just as someone is praying for you, I hope you are praying for someone. They must not know because that is part of the beauty in praying for others. Now playing Confident by Stefanny Gretzinger ft Bob. I love this song the way I love quietness. The way love peace.
I hope to post soon. I miss posting. I hope you are doing well.🌿🌿
Philippians 1:4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
