Stand Right... Start where you stand, Never mind the past,  The past won't help you in beginning new,  If you have left it all behind   Why, then do you want to go back to your past You're done with it,  You're through;  You are in another chapter of your life, Another race that you have planned,  Don't give the vanished days a backward look,  Start where you stand.  The world won't care about your old defeats  You need to start anew and win The future is your time, and time is not by your side There is much of work and strain and stress;  Forget the buried and dead past   Here is a brand-new trial right at hand,  The future is for her who does and dares,  Start where you stand.  Dear sisters, Old failures will not halt To-day is the thing, To-morrow soon will be;  Get in the flight and face it unafraid,  Leave the past to ancient history, What has been, has been; yesterday is gone  Take coura...

One day, it just occurred to me and in the bus, I looked and watched how people were gently seated, watching how the driver was driving the bus and I thought about it and how much about God. How much can we be patient, watching God drive us even when it doesn't look comfortable? How much can we be willing to trust God to drive us to the proposed destination. No matter how rough the road is? There's going to be porthole (trials and temptation) but how willing are you planning to avoid all that so as to get a smooth journey to your fulfilled destination? Ladies,  We need to follow and trust God. He is the driver and He knows how to get us through a smooth and perfect destination. Ensure you trust God and allow him take the lead. It might not be easy but we keep running after Him Sometimes it might get weary but we know He is pulling us through. The journey isn't for the week but for the strong in hearts and to those that trust God and allow Him lead us right.. I pray God hel...

BATTLE 30 *A CRY FROM THE SOUL* Trapped with nowhere to turn,  Everything is changing, Life is changing beyond my control,  causing this deep ache in the bottom of my soul. Someone else is pulling the strings, I want to dig myself out,  filled with despair, filled with doubt and uncertainty. I have been mute not able to express,  this gnawing pain and feeling of relentless distress. Tears that are not visible to the naked eye,  Silent screams that no one can hear. I try to speak but nothing can express,  this feeling of sadness and worthlessness. Emotional pain,  Walks with me through the day,  and sleeps with me through the night,  leaving me depression with no strength to fight. Anger for not having the courage to turn things around,  keeping me anchored to this remorse,  Not able to untie the chains and change my course. Tempting words, Always there to whisper in my ear. Time wasted, Lots of hurt,  Lots to repent. Solace, pl...

BATTLE 29 *BEFORE* I tell myself that everything's going to be ok, that there is no reason for all this pain. The time it took to change, the time it took to see all those mistakes. The life I had, I can't have back.  The choices I made, affected me, The mistakes I made have not been forgotten. The tears I shed, the sounds I made, the feelings  that left me feeling in a different way. Yet I can't see why these tears feel so unreal. I'm not the same,... It hurts to know that I'll never be who I used to be. The one that would always laugh, the one that you knew would always be strong. The feeling is real, the truth is sealed. I cry in the dark, The scars are real, but the wounds in the heart are another mark. If you only knew what I've been through, or maybe you could take a walk in my shoes. I'm not faking it, I just don't think I'm the same in any way. So where did my soul go? What happened to me? The one that could make you laugh, the one that would...

Does everything have to go this way.  I am trying and putting in my best everyday yet, nothing seems to be new about me. Would I ever be heard? Is my life meant to go on this way? I know there's something great in me, Sometimes, i struggle to find myself for days and months keep passing. As I lie here, stuck in my own mind. Always looking for ways to improve myself but I struggle to take that first step. I often wonder if this is it for me or if I'm stuck in my regret. Something I don't know, if that's the right thing and I can't still see the right thing. I try to hide my insecurities because the worry is just too much, But everything end up going by, without having to achieve anything. I don't even know what I live for. So today I am tired of this life routine because it seems I am at dead ends and I don't know where to go again. Any words of wisdom Could help my soul someway. I need to find myself" Doris voiced out. I know life can be challenging, co...

BATTLE 28 *WHERE WERE YOU?* I do not want your counsel and advice. Where were you all when I was enduring hunger? You were not there when I was thirsty and searching for someone to quench my taste When I was having financial problems, You did not assist me in my hour of need. I thought I could depend on you, When I was in pain but, You were not around to sympathise with me. I needed the comforting words of a friend but, I did not see you... I felt that I was going to succumb to my illness. And I had nobody to call out to for help. You did not even try to find out about my condition. I knew that you could not cure my illness, But your presence would have lifted me. Now, I see you do not really care about my well-being and yet, you make me think you will always be there You led me on that, I should depend on you but you let me down This is not the right way to treat someone... Dear Sisters, I know how you feel and I understand you. I know you might feel disappointed because those you thi...

Some days ago, I was feeling bad about me not attaining a certain goal because I had been occupied with many things I guess I have been feeling lazy or No, Laziness isn't the right word... I have been feeling tired about taking the next step But, just when I opened  an app and I saw the opportunity I missed out on, I had a reset and I realized I had opportunities but I didn't make use of them. I was focused on one thing and I forgot the main aspect of me  But guess what, The girl is back Revival is back Dear sisters, Whenever you realize you  have been doing something but you stopped That moment is not to wallow in self pity but, Get yourself back in order. I know sometimes it might take time to realize but, The moment you realize, Don't just feel bad. Sit up Dust yourself Pray to God for strength And focus on it. Ensure a day don't pass before doing something related to that which you have once abandoned Have you stopped writing? Get back to work Have you stopped singi...

BATTLE 27  *CAN YOU HEAR ME?* "Can't you hear my silent screams? They are so loud and behind this face that carries a smile, Lies a mark that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear these silent screams in my mind? They can't hear my thoughts if I keep telling them I'm fine. What can I tell them? These silent screams has no words. It's just feelings of sadness and darkness. How can I explain, so people understand this? It's like walking around without any direction  I can't explain how this feels; it's so extreme, So I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams and let nobody know about it" Adeola said Hmmm... What have you been hiding? You can hide from Men but not from God that sees all your pains and struggles. If you don't let out what you have been going through, how do you expect the generations placed on your shoulder hear your voice. I know i...

I am tired of living a real life socially and yet, My life isn't progressing.

I know you can be in a situation where you don't understand what is going on or don't know the right words to pray with. I know it can be overwhelming and sometimes, you just find yourself crying and telling God to help you, whispering the words "Help me lord", with tears dropping from your eyes and you feel sometimes, you can't go on Sometimes, the words feel heavy and you just wish that season can pass away but nothing changes. You can go further and tell Him, Jesus, some days my world seems to be spinning out of control. There are days where I long to just throw in the towel and say, "Enough." Where can I turn? Who can I talk to? You're the only one I know who will truly listen, Lord and I know you have the answers but, i can't seem to find them. I long to see a little clearing in this tunnel. I need a little hope, Jesus. Your Word tells me I can come to you for that hope and you won't disappoint, that your load is easy and your burden lig...

BATTLE 26 *TEACH ME HOW TO DO IT* Tell me how do you do it? How do you stay happy even in the midst of it all? Tell me how to respect someone who doesn't deserve my respect. Tell me how to trust someone who betrayed me so badly. Tell me how to care for someone who never cared about me. Tell me how to speak nicely to someone who only spoke down to me with bad words. Tell me how to get along with someone who brought me nothing but endless tears. Tell me how to get close to someone who caused me so much pain. Tell me how to forgive someone who hurt me so severely. Tell me how to open my heart to someone who broke it to pieces too many times Tell me how to deal with pressure  From everything Teach me how to stay happy How do I so hopeful in This hopeless situation" Boriola said as she cried Dear sisters, Nobody can teach you how to stay happy or overcome hard situations.  They can only tell you how to deal with it and Not to affect your day to day activities. You can't fully d...

For a very long time, I have been finding it difficult, To let go To find myself again I have belittled myself So much I feel like a loser now but, I don't know how to go about it. Deeply within me, I know there's more to me but, How do I start? I still remember the words from people, That hurts me I have many experience with people, That they look down on me There's no morale  How do I start?  To everyone going through this, Forget the memories that make you weak and sad, but not forget the memories that are an anchor to your strength. Forget the people who caused you pain, but not forget those who were with you through the storm  Forget your past, mistakes, and regrets, but not forget the lessons you learned from them. Forget the days when you cried silently, not aloud, but do not forget days that make you strong. Forget the old you, find yourself and explore, and emerge and shine as never before... YOU ARE MADE FOR MORE. YOU ARE MADE TO SHINE. If you keep getting worri...
