STIR UP


"How can one smile such sweet smiles,
When one is so saddened by sorrows for years,
How can I smile the same smiles,
When life brings me nothing but tears,

How can I smile when the weight of the world is on me
When everything is crashing down,
I wondered for so long, what reason i had to smile. To keep smiling even in the midst of pressure and still keep the sweet smile I obviously wear,

I want to break down
I want to let it out
I want to stop acting like I'm fine because I'm NOT
Behind my smile is pain. In my eyes is hurt and I hide it the best I can.

Behind this daily mask because the world choose to see you smile
I am a burden
I was made only to help and not to stand in the way. It doesn't matter how I feel. Who should care about me?
Why would someone? I am the one who helps everyone and deny myself the right. The problem with being selfless...

You feel like you shouldn't be helped. So you sit in your pain.
Behind you smile. That fake smile, everyone seems so gullible. It seems to convince everyone except for the very very few. I sometimes want someone to notice, to ask if I'm all right but, the problem is...I would say yes.

I don't know why? Because behind my answer...I am screaming. Screaming for help
I want someone inside my head. Who can tell exactly what I need. How to make me feel better yet I don't want to speak out. This pain that is so hard to cover up and yet I manage day to day.

I will sometimes try to hint but no one gets. I don't know why? Am I the only one that feels this pain? Pain that makes you shake. Pain that hurts so much you cannot cry. I just want to be happy all of the time. God, why can't I be happy?
I'm tired of acting
I'm tired of saying I'm fine" Tomike said as she was crying and discussing with Busayo.

"At least, I found the real you. God helped me find you, even in the midst of pretense and that's is a sign that you are not forgotten. 

Tomike i cant believe you are passing through all these yet, you take up the microphone and lead the congregation. How come? Where is your joy?
When the world gives you 1,000 reason not to smile, you give it 10,000 reason to keep smiling genuinely. Find your joy from within and it stirs up your smile.

I also have what I am facing presently but my smile is genuine because I know it's a phase I will overcome. The joy of knowing that I am not alone in this battle, is enough to make me smile joyful. That doesn't make me a fool, it's just that i realized, Christ in me, the hope of glory.
Don't be too quick to forget the promises of God, just because of what you are going through.

That unemployment, should not steal your joy. 
That unfruitfulness, should not steal you Joy, and so on.

Believe, study the word, pray, and stir up your Joy and let it brighten your smile genuinely. When you get this, you will begin to dance and smile even in the midst of your struggles, challenge, pain and so on because GOD IS WITH YOU" Busayo said

"Wow... I feel light. Thank you so much sister" Tomike said as they hug each other

If you believe, I want to say GOD IS WITH ME....

ADENIKE will be released Next Month...

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...
