Boom!!!!!! Vhrr!!!!! the heart is rumbling, there is a strong shaking and the heart is thumping strongly. With every thump comes a deep pain that pervades the entire body, usually of an unhappy soul. There has been yet another tremor…another heartquake….In my own words and definition, Heartquake is that lethal pain that gradually rips a soul and threatens to snuff out the light, peace and joy of

In recent times, there’s been a consistent nudging in my heart, a voice telling me that I have all I need to succeed and achieve the purpose of God for my life. My heart has been at peace and the way I view life’s challenges is changing. I have radiated a new level of confidence that I did not know I was capable of. Something is changing about me.This change is based on the reality I discovered

For every individual in this world, he/she would likely use the words ‘Forget’ and ‘Remember’ at least once a day. Both words could be expressed in various languages and are often used to explain instances of tasks left undone, uncelebrated anniversaries, unsent greeting cards/notes/ letters, late or missed appointments, etc.Forgetting in itself is not a bad action. Actually, I wish you

My wedding invitation reads thus:It’s Our Big Day!Precisely thirty (30) days from now, I shall be walking down the aisle wrapped in the hands of my father. Thereafter, I shall be joined in holy matrimony to my best friend, brother and lover. I will slide a ring into his finger after he slides a ring into mine as we look into each other’s eyes to see the sparkle of pure love, hope and joy that

I walked into the restaurant, striding confidently and fully armed with the French words I needed for successfully ordering my dinner. I greeted the waiters in French as I walked past a table with a white woman seated with a boy and girl. The children looked like they were between the ages of three (3) and five (5). I quickly took a table close to the children’s table as I succumbed to my

There is a little secret I have kept in my heart for so long. It’s a revelation that is so dear to me and I am willing to guard it's sacredness for as long as I live.My curiosity led me to this discovery. My adventurous heart longed to discover the most beautiful thing in life. At first, I thought it was a baby and then I thought it was a Butterfly; at other times I thought it was the setting of

I have the pleasure of welcoming you into the year 2008. This is a great year. I can see, hear, feel and smell greatness in 2008. In all of my life, this is the first time I’d see a year ushered in with showers of rain in my part of the world. You may wish to interpret it anyway it seems best to you but as far as I am concerned, the rain brought showers of blessings. A sweet relief from the

How many times have you said this famous word ‘Almost’ in a regretful manner? ‘I almost won the race’, ‘I almost got that Job’, ‘I almost bought that house’, I almost did this and almost did that. If almost is a constant word in your vocabulary due to your laid back attitude and consistent state of inactivity, then please check your life to be sure that your life has a direction because ‘Almost’

Your heart holds on to hurts, pains and grieveThe 'pain-afflicter' becomes an effigy that lives in youDaily slapped, cursed and crushedAs your heart becomes a mobile prisonThat takes its prisoners everywhere it goesYou bid evil tidings to your effigyYou are consumed with your worthy causeThe 'pain-afflicter' must not go unscathedJustice must prevailYour face hardens with deep furrows as you

I write with a grateful heart. For the great things that God has done in my life and the joys those great things have brought to me. Since my last article ‘Dare to Believe’ and now, I have been full of testimonies resulting from learning to trust God absolutely. I have gradually dropped my ‘Plan B’ approach to life and I have experienced God in a whole new way. It is obvious to me that God always

There is something I must share with you all. I can’t keep it to myself alone. I know it is meant for someone in particular, so if you happen to be the person, you should simply key into what I have to say.Precisely two weeks ago, someone gave me a book and clearly stated that He was directed to give the book to me. Trust me, I asked no further questions, I simply received the book and started

Today, I was with my friends, way back from college. This month marked exactly 10 years after we met in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife.10 years, 10 mighty years and a lot of water has passed under the bridge........10 years ago, we were young and vibrant, fresh as the dew, ready for life and great exploits. Today, we are still young, vibrant and renewed like the eagles. Still ready for life

My heart goes out to people who are learning to dance without the music. I have a picture in my mind, of a girl who desires to enter a dancing competion. She had tried to dance a few times and became a laughing stock because of her wobbly steps that never matches the beat of the music.She sat down to think of how she could win the dance competion. After considering several options, she decided to

'The truth is relative' that is the simple phrase I associate with people looking for grey areas to accomodate their excesses.I think that truth is absolute for anyone who is bold enough to handle the truth. It's either black or white, not grey. Truth becomes grey when you find it difficult to grasp the reality of accepting the black or white side of truth, so you smartly wriggle your way out

Last published February 7, 2007??? That was the last time I made a post on my blog. No!! Not good enough for a writer who's just recovering from a 'Writer's Block'. I can do better than this, although there is a consolation in that I have been updating my personal journal more frequently than this blog spot.I must keep writing because I have so much to share with the world. I can't afford to die

I woke up this morning with a sudden flash across my mind. The thought came across my mind swiftly but left an indelible mark. It occured to me so deeply that this life is a battle field. For the first time, the scripture that encourages us to fight the good fight of faith became meaningful to me. My life plainly reveals the battles..............The world seeks for my attention by crowding my

It's amazing that my new year greeting is coming at this time of the year. The first month is almost over.Hmmmm........i have no tangible excuse for my delayed new year greeting..........none whatsoever.I have learnt that i just have to do what i have to do in this life, despite all odds against my soul.

There are times when your heart feels like taking a walk on a less soliatry trail. You long for an intimate rub, something tangible that touches your very core. At such times, you may have the whole world around you, yet you feel as lonely as a character in 'Left Behind'. When this happens to a single girl, she begins to imagine a dream lover sent to rescue her. If she's in Nigeria, she might

I had a training titled 'work life balance'. Prior to the date of the training, i was really excited because i felt all my travails had finally come to an end. You'd ask why?? Well, i have a very hectic work schedule and guess what?? The hectic schedule is part of the 'CULTURE' at my workplace. So everybody is a victim. I was really happy that someone had realised that we couldn't continue
