When the Sky Forgot to Rain
Chapter One: The Beginning of Almost Tunji never thought heartbreak could have a taste, like warm honey cut with a pinch of salt. He’d always been the boy who thought love was an open field: wide, free, something you run through barefoot. Until Jade. They met on a Tuesday, the kind of day […]
To the One Who’s Praying and Planning: You’re Not Crazy
For the longest time, I thought I had to choose. Either surrender everything and wait on God to “do it all,” or grab the reins and hustle my way through with strategy. But then God handed me an assignment that shattered that false choice completely. It was a few years ago, an open door […]
When Faith Looks Like Structure (And Why Rhythm Can Be Holy)
After my engagement ended, my faith life felt like scattered pages in the wind. Some mornings, I rose ready to pray like a warrior, pouring my soul into heaven’s hands. Other mornings, I stared at my open Bible while my mind scrolled through my to-do list, my phone, or my worries. I loved God, but […]
When Healing Looks Nothing Like You Imagined
I once believed healing meant strength disguised as silence, a tearless face in public, a pillow soaked in private. Faith, I thought, was plastering over cracks with a smile and calling it surrender. But the truth? Healing came the day I stopped pretending. It came when I allowed the tears to fall where others […]
The Love You Never Forget
The Lagos sun was rude that day, pressing its full weight on the city as if determined to prove a point. Charles was already running late for a meeting, tie slightly crooked, phone buzzing nonstop.

Let me tell you a small story with a loud echo. It started the night before a big visa appointment. The kind you prep for like a military operation, documents printed, forms uploaded, outfit chosen, bags packed. You know, everything in order. Or so I thought. Then out of nowhere, my passport disappeared. […]
When Heaven Re-directs
Let’s talk about Divine Detours, the kind that don’t announce themselves, the kind that make you sigh, shake your head, and say, “God, what is this now?” Only to later realize, it was never a setback. It was a setup. It started with rain. Not the soft, cozy kind, but a full-on Lagos downpour. […]
A Letter on Opposite-Sex Friendships (From One Woman to Another)
Hey you, Let’s talk, woman to woman. Lol (Don’t panic) We’ve all danced that delicate line with male friendships. You know the one: where things start out casual, maybe even innocent, until one day the air shifts and suddenly, it’s not just jokes and shared playlists anymore. There’s a look. A moment. A […]
A Letter From the Slow Lane (Where God Waits)
I didn’t know it then, but I was sprinting through life, chasing meetings, chasing purpose, chasing the next “yes”… while somehow still feeling like I was always a few steps behind… Until one day, somewhere between a cancelled flight and a painfully long layover, God leaned in, gently, firmly and said something that stopped […]
