Shhsshh!
I want to talk to someone who is ready to listen.
I mean, really listen to me and understand what I am talking about.

Understand my pain, understand my heart, and understand everything I bring out from my mouth!
When I come to you and say I have a problem, I want you to listen and not try to solve it this time.
When I come to you with my heart and tell you what’s going on in it, I want you to relate with me.
It’s not like I am helpless or I can’t help myself but maybe
I just want to share it with you. Maybe I just need a listening ear; maybe all I am keeping inside of me is eating me up and choking happiness out of me.
I don’t need you to tell me what I am doing wrong and neither do I need you to advice me, I just want you to listen.
Please, listen to me. Sometimes, when I tell you stuff, I don’t want you to try to fix it, I just want to let it all out, I just want you to feel my pain, and I just want you to cry with me!
Listen to me. Wait! Just hold up and let me talk and when I am done, I’ll listen to you, I promise.- Kelly Praise

Sometimes, we need to listen more to people and not quickly cook up advice each time they come running to us. We need to identify with feelings sometimes and not try to solve them all the time. I think the reason why God gave us two ears and a mouth is because he wants us to listen more to people. You mustn’t always be eager to offer what you think is the solution. Sometimes, we just have to listen.

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
