AS WE LOSE, WE GAIN MORE

As we lose, we gain more
As I went on Christmas holidays, I realised that we lose A LOT of friends as we grow older and gain a few good ones that last for a life time. Back in high school, I thought the friendships I had would last forever but somewhere along the line those tiny bits I still held on to just fell apart and I found no connection between I and some old friends. Some stopped trying to keep in touch while
some just left. For some, it may be because of differences in our dreams or maybe we just outgrew ourselves. For some of them, their departure from your life hurt whole for others it feels almost unnoticeable.
The thing is your life is a story. There are different characters in stories. For some, their roles are short. Some are longer than others while some characters stay till the end of the story. So when people walk out, don’t go out chasing them. Let them go because they create space for others to come in.
As bishop David Oyedepo said, “20 children don’t play together for 20 years”
You don’t expect to remain close friends with the battalion of friends you had in primary school. I guess as we grow older, we realise that it’s not everyone we have in our lives that is meant to be there. Grow and allow people that have grown with you to find a place in your life.

This is a continuation from yesterdays story “but I was just 14”. After the tests, I sat at the reception with my mother. All through, I didn’t say a word. It was just mother that was sobbing and saying things like “Olorun, bawo lo se ma fin mi ni omobinrin eleyi?” (Meaning dear God, why would you give me a daughter like this). People coming in and going out of the hospital kept looking at mother and at that moment, I was glad I didn’t sit close to her. The doctor came out with a few sheets of paper in her hand and called us into her office. She started by saying I was clean and free from any disease and infection that usually accompanies sexual intercourse. When she started talking about anti natal care and how a teenager can

Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ''Jeremiah, what do you see?'' and I said, ''I see a branch of an almond tree''. And the Lord said to me ''You have seen well, for I am ready to perform my word'' 💓 Image Credit: Google  I see God's peace in the chaos and anxiety I see forgiveness, even when guilt tries to overwhelm me I see God's plan even when life goes off track I see God's hand even when my plans fall through I see the gift of eternal life in life, and in death I see joy even when my heart aches I see God's wisdom even when I make mistakes I see God's promises amidst it all I see my season, I see my future I see the branch of an almond tree I see the gift of salvation The almond tree is the first fruit tree to bloom in all of Israel, and the last to bear fruit. The owners have to wait for a bit more to see the fruits, and eventually the fruits come, they take it to the market and sell for good pri...

Embracing the triumphs of the feminine               Spirit Episode 28 Send it to voice mail! I’m sure we have heard this “when the past calls, send it to voice mail; chances are it has nothing new to say. Exactly! Many at times, we ladies go back to past relationships immediately our exes call saying they miss us. Ohh it’s so flattering right! The thought of being missed and the feeling of being wanted by someone is so good and we can’t resist it! We go back and the things that made the relationship go wrong in the first place would appear again and you come out with a more broken heart than you had before. And though it was going through a healing process, the wounds open up again and you start hurting afresh. See ladies your ex calling back to
