A Christmas Reflection: Make HIS birth count!!



 

Tis the season to be jolly

Fa la la la la, la, la, la, la, la

(I can’t remember the verses again) 👀😂

Tun tun dun dun tun dun dun

Fa la fa la fa la laaaaaa

Play on repeat  in your head😊

 

Merry merry merry Christmas in arrears everyone!😎💖 (This is a case of better late than never😁)

Christmas is my most favourite season of the year, it is a truly beautiful time of the year!

Even the government recognizes this and puts out all those Christmas décor and light and give out Christmas pro-bonus 



 So many things makes it beautiful, talk about, the giant red bows on the gorgeous Christmas pine trees, the small and big golden bells, the colourful lights, even the white lights looks absolutely stunning, the adorable baby Jesus,, Mary and Joseph, 3 wise men mannequins.






Can we talk about the Christmas food and visitors, there’s always lots of good food and o yes! Junkssss around on the table, even if you didn’t cook so much at home, there’s a good chance that a family friend might just send some pounded yam or jollof rice over in the spirit of Christmas.

 



For people like my sister and I, it means lots of visitors which translates to lots of errands and loads of dishes to be washed, though sometimes it can be exhausting, the thrill is usually worth the run. At the end of hosting some "Christmas visitors", some might  be kind to give you some "Christmas money". After they leave you need to see how my sister and I will be jumping out of joy, don’t judge us, who doesn’t like some extra cash

How can I forget our Christmas clothe(s) a trip or two to the tailor’s shop, searching for the trending styles on Pin interest and Asoebibella or even going through the numerous screenshots of styles taken during the year that didn’t go into making.

 


One thing I particularly find funny during the Christmas season is the increased number of programs at church, almost everyday there’s a church program. There will be a church carol service, a conference carol, a Christmas eve service, a Christmas day service, sometimes a boxing day service. It can be exhausting. The best part of services like this, is the Christmas hymns, they give me so much joy



The most awesome thing about this time of the year, is the gift of Jesus💓 we get to celebrate with all the love, sharing and caring in the world. We take time to celebrate the decision God made to send his beloved son, the mediator and negotiator of a new agreement to us for our reconciliation with the father and our freedom. 

 Imagine there is no Christmas, definitely there will be no Easter, how sad will that be; which means no Savior, to deliver us from ourselves and others; no celebration and  holidays to look forward to after a wonder- full year like 2020😓😔, no beautiful Christmas trees and lights, just years of garbaging in and out of a year😭😭, that’s even if the world  hasn’t gone on a self annihilation

.



Basically what I am saying is, Christmas  is a whole lot more than eating fried rice, wearing a beautiful dress, travelling or relaxing, it is very easy to get lost in the celebration and forget why we are celebrating . Christmas is about Christ that was  born because of us, it’s about the love of God made flesh, he gave us love so we could love others. If you didn’t show love to anyone this Christmas, you’ve not celebrated at all.

Stop celebrating  as a stranger or a run away friend at Jesus's birthday party(Christmas), he came here for you and wants to be your best friend, getting to know him makes Christmas more meaningful😊.




Make his birth count for you not just at Christmas but everyday.

By the way how was your Christmas celebrations? I hope they were fun and love filled😊 as for me i slept almost throughout Christmas after eating all my stomach could take😅😂😂 then I woke up to do all the texting and calling to wish my people Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas in arrears, I love you!

My Friend

My friend  A guardian of my interests In clarity and  uncertainty. A light in the darkness Situations may cast. A shelter in times of hurt Even when the wounds are invisible. A companion with whom I share belly laughs A confidant who has witnessed my tears As they cascade down my face. A soul who comprehends my silence As deeply as my words. A person with whom I can be completely and securely myself. My Friend  One I can trust to tell me the truth   And set me straight  The one who prays with and for me  The one who loves me  And reminds me of what’s truly important in life. My friend Without you Life with all its joy  Will feel incomplete  Life with little sadness  Will be utterly devastating My friend  You're a spice as well as an essence of life. Ifedolapo

Imposter's Syndrome: Stop feeling like a Fraud!

I started my blog officially on blogpost about a year ago but kept it to myself for so long because of what I later discovered to have suffered from “the imposter’s syndrome”. I mean, who knew there was a term to describe my feelings of inadequacy to be myself, to start a blog, to be the lead singer for a performance or even to state my opinion in a public gathering? I didn’t know! Maybe if I did I could have snapped myself out of it and my blog will be at least a bit popular by now and maybe an artiste could have signed me up by now (two years of professional singing no   be beans na)  lol. I am in no way saying I don’t experience   it from time to time now because sincerely I do and the funny thing about it is that, it finds a way to resurface when a big opportunity presents itself. This ordinarily should be a giant red warning flag but most of the time, my attention is focused on that inadequacy, that tiny inadequacy and beating myself up to bits mentally because of ...

FROM SCRATCH

In almost a whisper  Out of desperation  She uttered “Please come by the apartment tonight” "I’ll wait by the window to let you in" He looked straight into her eyes Said nothing in affirmative  And walked away With part of her heart in his pocket. The rest of the day went by in a blur  Like the light of the sun that gives sight has been snuffed out of day and  given to the night. As the night was the only thing she could see  And Look forward to.  Night came  So did her anxiety  With full force.  Paces back and forth  Hour after hour  Time was ticking but not fast enough  Sighs upon sighs  She seats on the window pane  And he’s still not in view Her night as dark as ever. Finally she settles on the  White two seater couch  And rests her head on its arms  As her body was catching up  With the tiredness her heart felt. “It’s raining there’s no way He would ride all the way  On his bicycle t...
