LET ME SEE YOUR HARDWORK

Hi dearest, I’m so delighted to have you here, I hope you have been well. Well, in this post,I’ll be sharing with you my personal story and I hope it sparks up something in you. Enjoy……….

This is very funny, years before I got into the university I had this feeling that university students do not have to read, well, my bubble was burst when I realized for myself that it was a different ball game entirely. With His help I always did very well in my exams and then in my semi final year I had so much responsibilities, my time management skills became very poor as a result I had less time for my books and then I must confess I became lazy. Then it happened…………

All through the semester, second semester to be precise, He kept telling me, "D, I want to see your hard work”, “I really want to see your hard work”; Stubborn as I was, I still was too busy to read as required and my aim was to hit a first class grade. Exams came as they will always do, I did them, and results came afterwards. Guess what? Well, that was the worst result ever in my university days.

Funny enough, I did not feel too bad, cause I heard Him tell me clearly that if I do not work hard, I will fail, so, I knew that to a large extent I had a major part to play in what happened.Yes, it was the worst result ever in university days but there was no carry over.

Final year came and I decided within me that He was going to see my hard work, I put inn my effort, via reading, tutorials and I certainly put Him inn. Now guess what? He gave me a beautiful result that semester. Well, nothing to hide you are my friend you know, {lol}, He gave me a first class result that semester.

I was filled with joy when I realized that it was the result I always wanted, and I knew that inasmuch as He loves me, He hates me being lazy. He wants me to reflect Him in all I do, He is a hard worker then I must be too.

Dearest, know this, He is more than able, it wouldn’t take Him anything to make you the most outstanding in any field but trust me, He wants to see your input and that’s exactly what He blesses. No matter how little, show Him your work and watch Him crown your effort with mega success. I look forward and I know I will hear your greatness story.

Loads of Love,

ALLOW ME.

I was very eager to serve my nation. Eventually,when the posting letter came I was very excited because I knew I was going to make a whole of impact there. Way before I served, I had always prayed to God telling Him that I wanted to be posted to town, a good organization, lovely accommodation, interesting pay and all of those. One thing I kept emphasizing was that I never wanted to be posted to a school. After being in the orientation camp for three weeks, letters were distributed stating everyone’s place of primary assignment. I couldn’t wait to get mine to know where I was posted to for my primary assignment. I couldn't believe what I saw, I was posted to town, in fact the central of the town. Oh my! God had answered my prayers without any man’s help, you can imagine how excited I was about being in town.

I had to report as soon as possible to my place of primary assignment in TOWN. I went to the organization with excitement but soooner than I knew, y excitement turned into a sadness that I did not envisage. What I found there was very horrible, it was so obvious that I wouldn’t be happy there nor would I be able to fulfill God’s plan for my life there. At some point, I was advised to leave town and go to a village to serve my country, that I will be better in a village than in a town. What!, how on earth could living in a village be better than living in a town? To be honest, I never wanted to leave town, but somehow I had no choice than to leave town. I was very sad but I realized that all through that period in as much as I was sad, I had this very strange peace in me and I just knew that God rather wanted me in that village than in the town. I obeyed and went to report in the village, as a TEACHER. Yes, what I was running away from became what I found myself in. My service year was the most amazing year in my life ever, I was able to do things that I wouldn’t have done on a normal day, God used me greatly to affect the lives of those students. I had a splendid time in the village living life at its fullest, being so excited all of the time. Up till this time that I type these words to you, I am still shocked on how I was able to affect the lives of hundreds of the village young adults within that space of time. Anytime I see my colleagues, they always look at me and wonder if I’m really serving because God’s glory, beauty just keeps shinning in my life. I was living the life. It was in that same year, serving in that village that I was able to organize a programme for all the secondary schools in the local government and it recorded a huge level of success, with different organizations coming all the way to partner with us.

The long and short of the jist is this, I know you have something in mind that you want or love to do or have, but trust me, God knows you better than you know yourself, so why stress yourself?, why not leave everything to Him and let Him do the thinking and arrange everything  for you beautifully. Just allow Him do whatever it is He wants to do, and you'd be amazed at the places He'd take you to.

SHUSH!!

Hi dearest, I’m so glad to have you here; I really hope you’ve been great. Just relax and enjoy…………..

If you have a house or better still if you have somewhere to lay your head, then lift your voice and sincerely give God a bear hug, a broad smile and a big thank you from the depth of your heart. I couldn’t believe that getting somewhere to stay and call mine could be a great challenge, I had to serve my country. Somehow along the way, someone who didn’t know me from Adam decided to let me inn; so I was there for some time. At some point, it was very obvious that I wasn’t going to be settled properly, because there were so much arguments in relation to who was going to take over the accommodation when, the real occupant left. There were days and even nights I would just keep thinking of how I was going to cope.  a ,particular night when everything seemed not to favor me; I wanted to kindly request someone to  allow me just occupy the accommodation as soon as the real occupant left; suddenly I heard a sharp “No, You are not begging anyone for anything”. That was a strong caution from my bestie; I decided to obey. Few days after the real occupant left, I could not explain what happened but the  other person changed her mind and just let me stay,  I was alone in that room, having fun, praising God and just living life at its best.

Dearest, there are some situations that may want to push you to meet people for help but whether you are hearing it or not God is saying “SHUSH”. Why don’t you tell God instead and watch Him touch the person and move him or her just as you would have wanted.

Dearest, could you just shush and let God do all the talking.

Loads of Love.,
