For every pain, there is a purpose

Despite our choices in life,

God is always working something out

*             *             *

Pain sometimes comes as a result of bad choices

Other times, it comes to teach us something

There are also times it comes as a result of design;

As part of the piece of a puzzle

For us not to question pain or be too hard on ourselves or ask where we went wrong,

We need insight, foresight or maybe just sight

To be able to see all the pictures

(the bigger picture and the picture right before your eyes)

In all, what keeps us going is faith;

Strong belief in the faithfulness of God and his inability to disappoint us or abandon ship

On him knowing what’s best and working everything out for our good

Isaiah 49:15

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee

Happy Sunday


Love, Deedee

Attending a Festival ALONE? How much fun is that?

Not every time, “Honey take me out na, let’s go for that festival.” “Baby, when last did you take me out?” or Girls’ trip! Boys’ trip! Sometimes take yourself out; go out alone. Reasons why;   It affords you the liberty of doing what you want to do without considering another person’s idiosyncrasies. You’ll have the opportunity to meet new people and spontaneously try new things. It gives you the chance to be independent and enjoy your own company. It’s like walking into a strange beautiful room with blindfolds on….not a dangerous room biko…. there are possibilities of the unexpected which is what life is generally about. It would teach you to stand on your own and be comfortable with your decision and watch the outcomes unfold.This is not really just about a festival. It’s about your life. It can be therapeutic. Can help you find yourself too, in case you are the type that is easily knowingly or unknowingly influenced by your surrounding (friend...

WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?

When you want something and ask for it from the universe, the universe gives it to you alongside a distraction. The universe does this to be assured of what you truly want. The first time I heard those words (paraphrased) were from the delectable female rap artist and poet, Eva Alordiah. I was still ruminating on those words and trying to question the school of thought when it happened to me, two days after. A friend who I just met and who was also my editor at the moment sent me an invite to a literary event; a book review. There were going to be a lot of amazing writers and a guest speaker who was a renowned author. It was his book that was to be reviewed. I had just moved into the city and had dedicated that period of my life to writing seriously. I wanted to meet people in my niche and interact with them, you know, you city, new friends. I wanted that fresh air and vibe for a story I was yet to complete. I had always longed to be in that kind of space. So, getting an invite f...
