 *OKIKIOLA'S STORY*


Everyone warned me. My friends, pastor and sister cord but I didn't listen. I thought they weren't seeing what I saw in him but unknowing to me that what they saw was different from what I saw.


What else was I looking for in a man that Lekan didn't possess. I crushed on him for a very long time before he came to me for marriage. That day, I felt like the happiest lady in the world and I gave him my response the next day. I didn't want to loose him because I loved him.


The following week, I told my sister cord as I was smiling stupidly. She asked me series of questions and I lied as my smile gradually fainted. She saw those look I gave her and urged me to speak up but I put on a fake smile and lied that I was telling the truth but deeply within me, I knew I was wrong. Then, she asked me to go.


I left sluggishly feeling unhappy. Immediately, I got home my friend noticed my countenance and asked what was wrong with me. I told her everything instead of her to support me, she shouted at me. I felt left out and I asked myself, why am I not seeing that they are seeing? While I was still in thought, a message came in from my pastor. He said he wanted to see me.


I couldn't meet up that same day. The next day, I went to the office prepared for whatever question he wanted to ask. As I opened the door, I saw him and the Sis cord sitting and my heart beat increased as I sluggishly opened the door and sat down in front of them.


Still with the circumstances around me, I already planned that I won't take it easy with them but it's as if the pastor already know what was on my mind. He started by asking me of the things I liked about him and I was happy and more interested in the questions. I started telling him without stopping. Then after, he moved on to the next questions after getting my attention.... What do you know about his salvation experience? Is he identified with Christ? Who is his mentor?


He asked as I couldn't say anytime but I loved him was all I could say as I was crying.


To every OKIKIOLA....

I know the anxiety and joy of finally getting to be in a relationship with the person you love, irrespective who he is.


Beyond asking of the physical questions like Genotype, blood group, fertility test, etc. You need to know his spiritual background. Some of the guys are in spiritual bankrupt because of their belief, etc.


Beyond knowing when/where to marry. You need to know and watch who to marry. You can't just marry anyone as God's princess. It has a lot of disadvantage for your growth in all ramifications, vision, etc. So that it won't be a problem in the future. 


Marriage is to be enjoyed and not endured.


God bless you!

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
