To the One Who Doesn’t Feel Enough: Just Obey
One early morning, I was listening to a message from a popular preacher. He shared a story I haven’t been able to shake off since. God had given him a simple instruction: Go to the hospital and pray for the sick. Instead of obeying immediately, he called his friends to fast and pray with him. […]
The Quiet Presence on Noisy Days
I used to think I had to go away to find God. Go to the mountain. Go on a retreat. Check into a quiet room. Fast from all noise. I always looked forward to those times every year. A few days before my birthday, I would withdraw from everything. Phone off, no work, just me […]
To the One Who’s Strong but Tired: I See You
There’s a kind of tiredness that sleep can’t fix. The kind that sits behind your eyes even when you’re smiling. The kind that makes you put your phone on DND, not because you’re busy, but because you’re overwhelmed.Everyone calls you the strong friend, the dependable brother, the praying woman, the fixer. They all turn to […]
Layers of God’s Mercy
Do you remember the story I shared about my missing passport? If you haven’t read it yet, you can find it here. Today, I want to take you behind that moment, to show you another layer I like to call the mercies of God. On the day I found the passport, I needed it for […]
The Conversation With My Therapist That Changed How I Pray
I walked into therapy thinking I was there to “fix” a specific issue. I left realizing God had brought me there to expose a deeper truth. By my third session, after I had finished explaining the pressure I felt to hold everything together, my therapist leaned back and asked: “Do you pray from love or […]
Becoming the Woman God Saw All Along
There is something about endings that makes us look back differently. Not because we want to stay in the past, but because reflection has a way of revealing what constant movement hides. As I sat down to write this final letter of this series, I found myself remembering prayers I had forgotten praying, fears that […]
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.
