He Loves Me, He loves Me Not (Part 2)
Guess you were shocked or you probably had a good laugh while reading my chronicle in part one (http://www.hersingledays.com/2018/12/09/he-loves-me-he-loves-me-not-part-1/ ). That was me “a few years ago”! I am a living testimony of 2 Corinthians 5:17 (Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new) I still cannot believe today I can pass by a “fine Brother”, and probably acknowledge that he is wonderfully and fearfully made without assuming or guessing if he is or isn’t my Boaz. I was literally living my life for the “Boazes”. I made an idol of relationships and marriage. Presently,…

Who is your Storyteller?
I grew up in an awesome and closely-knit family of 7. I am the third of 5 children. I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers. In my precautious mind as a child, being the middle born meant I was hidden or sometimes overlooked. It also meant that when there was an extra piece of ‘sweet’ (candy) it was either given to my elder or younger siblings and I was forgotten. I felt like I was not counted in for any special privileges. I had 2 elder siblings to respect and 2 younger siblings to take care of. Fitting in was so difficult for me! Amid my sisters, I felt like…

Let God Drive your Sex Drive//Break the Silence! (Part 2)
I trust that the first part of this series blessed your heart! Today, I would be sharing a brief sneak peek into my testimony. Just like God has assured me, I believe it would help someone finally break loose from the shackles of sin, shame, secrecy and silence so that they can come out of hiding and receive love, healing, restoration and wholeness from our heavenly Father! I have been a single Christian for almost 30 years of my life. By God’s grace, it’s been an awesome journey thus far. I grew up as a Pastor’s kid in a very orthodox church. For obvious reasons, there were so many doctrines…

Tough Trust (Part 2)
I believe you were blessed by the first part of this series (http://www.hersingledays.com/2018/12/09/tough-trust-part-1/ ). As you were reading those words in part 1, You may have even given up or you are thinking of throwing in the towel. But I urge you to hang in there. Let Faith begin to rise in your heart and soul! God says the plans He has for you are plans of good and peace to give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11) the waves may be big, but GOD is bigger! He has said He would take you to the other side; trust His word and His timing. Trust the process! Anyone who puts…

How Shall this Be?
The year is pleasantly wrapping up. I can already feel and perceive the sweet aura of Christmas in the air! It is no surprise that this season always comes with an amazingly cool breeze of love and joy because it encapsulates and announces the birthday of our saviour, Jesus. However, amidst the jolly, we often have a certain proclivity towards reflection. Whether consciously or unconsciously, we reflect on the entire year and how much we were able to glean from it. Some people like me, even go back to their list of goals, prayers and expectations to take stock. Even though I am still yet to do that this year,…

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (Part 1)
Have you ever been in a “relationship” where you were not exactly sure whether you were loved?? Have you ever unconsciously found yourself suspecting every man that comes around you is your ‘Boaz’?? My answer to this is YES!! However, regardless of your answers to these questions, I am writing this post series from my heart to yours. This is to encourage and remind you that even in the midst of the wait, we can rest securely and absolutely in the Father’s Love. A few years ago, I was in this “friendship” with a guy (we’ll call him Nick). Nick was a “good person” and a “good friend”. He was…

Tough Trust (Part 1)
In 2010 pain and her retinue visited my cute happy family. Just when we thought our boat was sailing smoothly a sudden storm hit our tribe. My Daddy was diagnosed with a rare nervous system disease, Motor Neuron Disease; a condition that affects the nerve cells and leads to a progressive weakening and degeneration of all the muscles in the body, which eventually affects the ability to breathe. Things happened so fast, yet in slow motion. After a bit, we watched my super Daddy go from limping to being carried, and finally to being paralyzed and permanently bed ridden. He was put on a ventilator machine to supply oxygen directly…

You’re Better Than This!!!
Lately, I’ve seen how many ladies get themselves all messed up in the hands of men they’re not supposed to be with. Misused, taken for granted and dragged into a pool of shame and hurt. And the question I ask myself is; “doesn’t this lady know how much she is worth?” And the sad thing is when you ask them why they are still there, they either tell you that they “love” him, or that he is God’s will. Excuse me, God is your Father and He wouldn’t subject you to someone who will hurt and maltreat you, because He himself will not do so to you. You are a…

Building Your Godly community (Part 2)
Last time we met, we came to an understanding that having a community, a Godly one, is vital to fulfilling purpose. If you haven’t read it, you can do that here (http://www.hersingledays.com/2018/11/05/building-your-godly-community-part-1/) Today I want to show you 3 simple and practical steps to building your Godly Community. I am not a preacher or a theologian, but I am speaking from experience, that’s why I believe God lets us go through somethings, so we can come out on the other side stronger and help others. Before we dive right in, I would like to share a scripture that reiterates the need for a community and that is in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12…

Redefining DESPERATE (Part 2)
Desperate comes from a Latin word “desperare” which means “despair”. I was so stunned when I saw the definition in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: According to it’s definition, desperate means: Having lost hope, giving no ground for hope, moved by despair or utter loss of hope, involving or employing extreme measures in an attempt to escape defeat or frustration, suffering extreme need or anxiety, involving extreme danger or possible disaster of extreme intensity. Wow! Too much negative emotions in just one word. You can then begin to imagine what a desperate person would look, sound or act like. The system of this world is filled with a lot of things to…
