- March 09, 2024

A very happy Sunday to you, dear friends. I hope you had a great week, and everyone in the family did. This past week was when we celebrated women internationally. I celebrate all women out there. And I pray that may we continue to be the joy and pride of our generation, and may we continue to flourish in all good works. God bless you.

- March 03, 2024

Happy Sunday friends. Glad to come your way again. Hope you had a great week and everyone in the family did. Today, I want to share something about growing your own food. Growing your own food can be a rewarding and sustainable practice. I do it myself, and even at this time, it is more important than ever as there's food scarcity in many parts of our countries and the food prices are going beyond the roof. We've got to secure our own food and create a sustainable means of feeding. There are various ways to do so, ranging from traditional methods to more modern and innovative approaches. Here are some of the different ways of producing your own food: 1. Gardening: An old practice but not out of fashion. Gardening is a good way to grow your own food. It involves growing your own plants, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and even flowers in the backyard, balcony, or any small piece of land around your house. It can range from small-scale container gardening to large vegetable patches.

When Life Seems Difficult and Hopeless

- February 17, 2024

Happy weekend, friends. It’s always my joy to share these writings with you. Hope you had a great week and everyone in the family did. Today, I want to share with you a few words of encouragement. Perhaps, you might be going through something difficult and life might seem hopeless for you. You might feel frustrated and overwhelmed by what you are going through. Each of us goes through trials. And even though they may come in different ways and vary from person to person, they are essentially all challenges. It’s one thing to know that what you are going through has a solution. But it’s another thing to be able to find the solution and work things out. Most of the time, it’s not easy to navigate difficulties or challenges. Your mind is consumed by the issue at hand, making it difficult to focus on other areas of your life. I understand. It’s the same for many of us. But you know what? We have hope assured .

There are 8 ways I want to discuss. And these are easy steps that any of us can incorporate into our lifestyle and make a meaningful change in our finances. Let’s look at them. 1.

With a budget, we can see where our money is going and how to make sure we are using it in a way that aligns with our priorities. I know we have a lot of things to spend money on, but that’s where saving money starts. It helps us to stay within our capacity without overspending. 2.

Glad to come your way again, friends. Hope you’re doing great and everyone in the family. It is well with us in Jesus' Name! Today, I want to celebrate a dear friend. There are a couple of things we are grateful for in life, and among them is good friendship. I’m thankful to God that I met my friend and her family. Her spirit, her cheerfulness, her humility, her love, her sacrifice, her commitment, her consistency, and her service to God and humanity (the list can keep going on), are beyond measures. I thank God I met and know her. On January 20th, 2024, she and her twin sister celebrated their 60th birthday. I am grateful to God for keeping them alive to see that beautiful day. The celebration was truly grand, with people coming from all corners of the world to join in the celebration. Needless to say, my friend is a person with a beautiful spirit.

How to Deal with Delays

- January 20, 2024

Glad to welcome you back, friends. I’m always excited to share things with you on my blog. Hope your week has been great, and everyone is doing well in the family. Today, I want to share something about dealing with delays. It’s still the beginning of the year, and it’s good to share some refreshing ideas that will help us navigate this year. Life is full of surprises, and one of them is delays. Delays are like unexpected guests that decide to stay longer than expected. We all face them at some point in our lives. And they can happen in any area of our lives. From our personal plans to business, family, relationships, career, and different aspects of our lives that we might engage in, we see delays unexpectedly. For me, I’ve had several moments of delay in my life. And I can’t imagine how much change they’ve brought into my life. When we encounter a delay, it can be frustrating and disheartening.

At the beginning of the new year like this, I know we’ve heard a lot about making plans for the year – setting new year goals, making new year resolutions, dreaming big, and so on. While all that is good, a very important thing I would like to share with you is to see how we can make a meaningful change in our lives. This is a year where so many things will change. And we’re already seeing some of the changes – change in technology, economy, jobs, government, climate, artificial intelligence, business, culture, values, and so on. With all these changes, there are new sets of threats and opportunities . Are you prepared for them? Are you ready for these changes? This is a time when we will have to be flexible in our minds, learning and unlearning some things. It’s a time when we will understand how to make change before the negative change comes. The point is – there will be change, anyway. Th
