Documenting 2025

It's day 362 of documenting 2025. 3 days to 2026! Well, today's a Sunday. And not like the typical Sunday at home or in the hostel. Twas a Sunday that didn't feel like a Sunday. So, about how it went... I woke up much earlier than usual and I turned on my phone...to listen to music while I prayed. My tummy trouble wasn't as troubling anymore. I slept afterwards and woke up by much earlier when it was daybreak. Swept, mopped, cooked and washed. I also ate a little portion of food between tasks and when I was done, started on my assignment. In the process, I munched on "sugar free" soda crackers and they didn't disturb my belly at all. Thank God 😌 I finished one part of the assignment, not wanting to rely on or use AI, which could have made it easier. I chose better. The day wasn't as interesting...except for the fact that my aunt was all on bling before she left for church. Her bag, shoes, clothes and wig cost up 100k in naira. Me, my cous...

It's day 355 of documenting 2025. 10 days to 2026! Well, today's post would be the last of the special series, "Episode With E". And with all that happened today, it's going to be a long one. Okay, let me start from this morning. We had part two of the spelling competition by 6am. Quite early, I know! I actually thought it was going to be finalized last night but it wasn't. Anyways, it was time for me to start spelling. A word would be pronounced and I was to spell it. I wasn't feeling tensed until I heard a word that sounded confused. My first guess...I failed it. Then we had to use "the other method" to get the correct spelling. Then I got it. Two rounds and 10 words later, we were done. An email was sent that I should relax, as the results were being analyzed. I used that time to prepare for the service where I was to sing as part of the choir. I was also intentional to pack my things...as I was going back to the ho...

It's day 348 of documenting 2025. 17 days to 2026! Happy Sunday! ☺️ This is definitely another overdue post, but you get to read it anyways. And there's good news... It's the last week of lectures! So, today was another laid-back day, due to the fact that it's my time of the month. I just didn't feel like going anywhere, not even church...and when I called my dad, he said it wasn't necessary to force myself to go. Besides, my roommate was all on my case, trying to command me to go to the fellowship with her, like I used to do before. I didn't go....mainly to confirm a suspicion I had, as well as to do my weekend laundry. I didn't miss out on spending time with God. I read my Bible, worshipped through song and stayed off food till afternoon. I didn't do it to appear more righteous than those that went to church. I just did it. And then my suspicion was confirmed when my roommate came back with her friend. I was doing my afternoon Bible stu...

It's day 341 of documenting 2025. 24 days to 2026! Happy Sunday ☺️ It's the first Sunday of the month...and I thank God for bringing us into this new week 🙏 I was home today. I didn't just want to go anywhere, largely because of the strenous activities of last night...and the fact that so much of my tasks are left undone. But by the end of today, I was able to do my laundry, set up checklists for the whole of next week...and most importantly, rest up. I also learned the importance of God's Word in elevating my life. More like, I was reminded... It was like Myron Golden's video was strategically placed in my way. I actually made a mental note to watch it, and I did 😌 Anyways, I feel like I'm about to get a lot busier. With my new engagement as a representative in the royal family, I'll be called for meetings, and I was told I would have to buy a particular fabric to sew my official attire. Man! I didn't know what I was getting ...

It's day 334 of documenting 2025. 31 days to 2026! Happy Sunday! 😊 This is definitely coming on as a late post. But my Sunday was a good one. I went for service and then came back to work on some assignments, which I didn't actually finish 😐 Well, I called my dad and then his friend who I usually call my aunty. She tormented me. (Well, not really...) The thing is, I don't usually speak my native language, Igbo very well. It's largely due to the fact that I was born and brought up in Lagos, a Yoruba speaking state. She knows that, but now that I'm in my home state, she now makes it mandatory that I speak Igbo anytime I can her. Are you kidding me? I really forced it...and then she asked to talk to my roommate. How embarrassing! 🙈 I get her point tho.... And I believe that with time, I'll be speaking my mother tongue fluently. My roommate didn't mind talking to her and after a few minutes of communication, in Igbo...I got back the phone and afte...

It's day 327 of documenting 2025. 38 days to 2026! Happy Sunday 😊 It's the start of another week and this post won't be complete if I don't share a testimony of God's grace and love towards me. So, this happened last night. I was frustrated because of the thought of low funds in my allowance. I have digital products that I've created and I thought to sell one of them. I was supposed to go to bed earlier, but the thought of how I would manage myself didn't let me. So I messaged someone I just met recently, who also happens to be a writer. In my desperation, I told her to just give me 5 minutes of her time, that I wanted to sell something to her. Can you imagine? 😏 Anyways, I made my pitch...about how I created a product and that she should check out the page. Unfortunately, she couldn't open the page and I had to describe the features of the product. Then she said she couldn't get it then, and that she wants to teach me something. I was ...

It's day 320 of documenting 2025. 45 days to 2026! Today was a good Sunday 😌 It started with service in the morning, during which I dozed off occasionally. Oops! I did it again! But it wasn't like the former time, when someone had to wake me up. I guess the dozing factor is decreasing. I got back to the hostel and ate my first meal of the day. Bread and butter with groundnuts. Then ended with 3 oranges 🍊 Pretty okay. Sometime later, I fell asleep and woke up to someone calling me. It was a coursemate who borrowed  my note from class. She came to the hostel to get her shirt from me as well as to return my note. I helped her get it yesterday on a delivery. After seeing her off, I went upstairs and changed from my Sunday dress, which I still had on. Then I went to help my roommate as she cooked and it was wonderful to discuss lessons from scripture and share stories. Later on, I called my dad and we talked for a while. As always, it was a wonderful time spent on the ...

It's day 313 of documenting 2025. 52 days to 2026! Happy Sunday 😊 It's a new week...and I had a new experience today. The first time I went to church! Fun fact is, before I resumed to the hostel, I met someone at a webinar who recommended a specific campus fellowship for me to attend. Turns out, my roommate attends that same fellowship! This morning, she took us to where the fellowship was held, and we had the service till 11am. It was nice to be around other people...but I was just dozing off. Not so good for my first service 😒 But I couldn't help it. I woke up early this morning....around 3am. I knew it was God that woke me up, because I had asked Him to wake me up earlier. Then I went downstairs to charge my phone, because it was almost dead. Then something happened. I met a girl. She was playing tunes on a guitar. A guitar! 🎸 She was also charging her phone by that time...and we got to talk. I learned her name and the fact that she was...

It's day 306 of documenting 2025. 59 days to 2026! Happy New Week!  It's an adjustment week for me, as I'll officially be by myself for the first time in my life....very soon. For the record, I won't be alone. I've got Jesus with me 😊 Alright, alright Today won't be the usual gist, because it was another random day in my aunt's house. The last day actually...but nothing eventful took place. Today was just a day to be alive and grateful 🥲 In that light, I'll just share today's highlights....as well as a chat I'll have with ChatGPT. It would actually be based on what I'm thinking about, so we're going behind the scenes on this one.

It's day 299 of documenting 2025. 66 days to 2026! Wow...the days are counting down real fast. And it's the last Sunday of the month. Happy New Week, friend ☺️  I wish you a wonderful week ahead. Well, it's a late night post. So where do I start from?  I think I would just start by saying that I'm so grateful 🥲  Grateful to God for the kind of understanding He gave me and the wisdom to act accordingly. It's actually wonderful to walk with God. And I think I'm not so new to it anymore....but at the stage where I'm learning to recognize Him in my thoughts. At the stage where I'm learning to work with Him and actually do what He tells me to do immediately. I fumbled in that aspect today. At a point, I was thinking that my own will could be trusted. He showed me that it's otherwise....that none of what I do would make me "good" before Him. I just have to yield to Him....and surrender. I actually learned a bit about the Holy Ghost as well. It...

It's day 292 of documenting 2025. 73 days to 2026! How did my Sunday go? Not so happy 😪 Why? I didn't start it with Jesus. I'm kinda new to walking with Christ..and so far He has been very patient and understanding with me. Some days, I would be so connected to Him and the day would go well. Other days, He would show me just how much I need Him. Today was one of those other days. It's a very long story... And it started with a phone call. One that I now realize, I wasn't supposed to answer. So, this morning, the guy helping me with my admission documents called me. I knew why he was calling, because he disturbed me as well yesterday. The call woke me up....and that was the first thing I did. Answer a phone call, instead of spending some quiet time with God. Then I had to go out on an errand. As I was walking, I talked to God. I apologized for not praying like I was supposed to. Then something happened. After I said, "I was too tired to pray". ...

It's day 285 of documenting 2025. 80 days to 2026! It's another Sunday in October! Happy New Week, my friend 😊  I'm grateful for how last week went, and hopeful that this week is going to be even better. It's actually a few minutes after 11am right now...not much has happened yet. I'm at home with my family....not in a church like many people would think. It's not that we don't like worshipping with others on Sunday. It's complicated 😏 Well, the atmosphere is cold here in Lagos because of a windy rainfall hours ago. And in other news, I visited my old Instagram page last night. Yeah....I could talk about that 🙂 Now I can't actually remember why I decided to check out that page.... Okay, okay!  I was actually helping someone out to create a new Instagram page and it wasn't working. He later decided that he would create it himself. Then I was like,  "Where's my old page at?" By the way, the Instagram interface has reall...

It's day 278 of documenting 2025. 87 days to 2026! It's another Sunday. Apparently, it's my last Sunday in Lagos. I'm trying my absolute best not to overthink about the days ahead. So, I just think on God's Word and find comfort. And the rain came down 🌧️  As opposed to a sunny day, it was a downpour. All morning!! In the afternoon, I was just overcome with the need to sleep. Took a nap and as usual, it lasted 3 hours instead of 1. It was all good tho...as I'll probably need all the rest I can get before the rigors of this week. Alright, let's see today's highlights and I'll share more thoughts. No hiding this time....because no one's reading anyway.
