It’s been 5 years. How have you been?

Imagine making a debut 5 years later. Imagine what 5 years later look like.  That is how long I have been inactive for. Life happens, and it has happened very rapidly for me and you I assume. Covid was like a catalyst for many, I included.  (I am simply highlighting what the last post was here, FYI)

Let’s just say, like what Nigerian movies promise ….5 years has brought transformation. Wifehood motherhood, life-hood and all the hood that is in adulthood.  Let me just pause for a moment and say that God has been faithful. One of my all time verses is 

Psalm 37: 3
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord;
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord;
trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,
and thy judgment as the noonday.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him:


So, I am just making a tiny comeback, with lots of changes but greatly understanding that God is, has and will BE, Constant.  Many things that passed, things good, others bad, some tolerable… But God is truly a constant and consistent in Himself. Nothing highlights that more than TIME. 

So, What are we doing here, you may ask ? We are just going with the flow. Just as we left off, Just being fluid and patient with it. 

I have a question for you, what can you say about your last five years ? What has God been to you ? ( whatever it is, I pray we feed on his faithfulness)


XO, Bellz.

Why the Devil wants You for Dessert ! - On the Menu

Let’s agree to disagree, this year has a point to prove, it’s in a rush. It’s on the run to somewhere; it has to be there by December.     I am not sure whether I am the one experiencing this, but Sunday is such a throw stone away from Monday nowadays. It feels like yesterday I was huffing and puffing trying to get my resolutions together, it’s now July . Anyway I am buckling up and keeping up with the speed levels of 2018.   2018, if you can hear me, I am breaking sweat as well, we shall revisit and settle in December. .................... I love Nigerians, it’s not their Jollof rice or their incredible sense of art, and it’s their oomph! ,   I have a thing for their vigour. I find them so boisterous in their confession especially. You can tell when Jesus said, the kingdom suffers violence and the violent shall take it by force, that was for them.   I have limited knowledge about them but I have managed to gather a few traits here and...

Consider an Oak Tree

 I like to think of myself as a patient yet inpatient person, ( a paradox right?). I am patient towards others yet treat myself with some level of impatience. Self imposed timelines for myself are what  I would consider the yeast to my rising dough.  Something I am unlearning as I grow older. But what stretched this for me is that the older we grow, the more we are inclined to look, feel and be seen to be productive, proactive, securing whatever the bag is. That is why even on social media, it is those that have “results of the day” or what corporate lingo may call “KPI’s” that seem to ammerse a following.  Let’s consider this verse.  Isaiah 61:3  They will be called oaks of righteousness,      a planting of the  Lord      for the display of his splendor. Now let’s consider an  Oak -  “ Oak trees generally take  several decades  to reach maturity, with most species taking around 30-40 yea...

Loving Right and Staying Tight

It’s February, Finally!!   Yeey! And after the intense Part A and B of January we could use some LOVE.     I wrote this post like 5 days ago but I wasn’t particularly sure this was what I want to write on. Anyways, as I was delaying on this matter we had a small ladies random discussion and fellowship with my girls about single-hood, engagements and marriages. That served as   my confirmation that surely the Lord had placed this in my heart for a reason.    Let’s admit, your timeline is full of everyone getting engaged, and it looks like they met yesterday and you have no choice but to like and type (Aaaaw   # goals # Godspeed ), Yes ? . Don’t get me wrong, we are happy for them and wish them all the best, but like everyone else we too, long for our turn when the piece of Pie gets over to us.  Can we have a heart to heart? P.s the post is longer than usual ...Mapenzi Overdrive :)
