Say YES To Life!

-

Recently, I was talking with my son. He told me about his projects and things that he’s doing and all that he had to do and how he’s so worried about all the processes involved and the stress that he had to go through and so on. I noticed in his words that he was so interested in the result, not the process. He wanted something that could just take away the process and give him the result. I felt like that sometimes ago, too. I later learned that it is the process that makes the result. And we cannot have the result without going through the process.

Saying YES to every bit of the process is what guarantee the result.

When we say YES to life, we will begin to enjoy life. We will appreciate every bit of it. Saying YES to life is accepting and appreciating everything that we have in life. Not just taking one part, and ignoring the other part.

Remember what Jesus said- "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."   

God has given us an abundant life that we should say YES to. It is an wholesome life that has different moments, stages and experiences to it. 

There was a time when our mothers conceived us. There was also a time when they gave birth to us. There was another time when we were infants, children, teenagers and then became adults. We couldn't skip any of these stages, because they're all part of life. 

Saying YES to life would also mean being grateful for life. Appreciating every moment that we are opportuned to live and breath and move on the surface of the earth. 

When I heard my son, I quickly understood what he was talking about. To say YES to life is to be comfortable with going through the process, knowing fully well that every part of it is necessary to build us up and strengthen us.

When we focus too much on our needs, we live in the shadow of life. Our attention is off life and we’re focused on the needs. But if we say YES to life, we will take full consciousness of it, we will take every moment of it. 

We would have peace in our minds and our productivity would increase. Because shifting in our thinking will take away negative energy and fill us up with God's energy. The end result will be happiness. And we would continue to live a fulfilled life. Have a blessed week people of God.

Turning 60 – How It Feels Like!

Welcome back friends. Thanks for stopping by. I’m so excited to share this moment with you as I celebrate my 60th birthday. I’m so grateful to God for making me see 60 good years on the land of the living. This is a lot and it’s a big deal for me. I have seen the Lord’s goodness, His mercy and compassion. I have seen the hand of the Lord in every area of my life. When things were difficult; when life was turbulent, the Lord rose for me, He stood by me and made Himself a shield for me. I can’t start counting all the goodness of the Lord. They are so innumerable and unquantifiable.   I thank God for my dear husband (of blessed memory) who served the Lord all through his life and left a great legacy behind. I thank God for my children (both biological and adopted), my siblings, my extended families, my friends, my colleagues and everyone who has been of great blessing in my life.  I can’t count all the people I’ve met in my life – all the people who have been so great and loving, kind and

Embracing A Journey of Resilience And Gratitude

Glad to come your way again, friends! Trust you and your family have been doing great and having a great week. Today marks the 7th year anniversary of passing to glory of my dear husband. It was just like yesterday when the whole incident happened. I thank the Lord who has kept me and my children, and has led us, and continue to lead us in the way of life and fulfillment. I met my husband at my workplace in the year 1990, and ever since then, it has been a journey of love and fulfillment. I knew my husband (Joshua Adeyemi Olojo) as an honest, meticulous, diligent, caring, loving, and God-fearing man. He was someone who loved the Lord wholeheartedly and loved people also. He instilled the habit of serving the Lord in his children, and made it a family tradition for us to always have daily devotion and go to church. On September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked by the Islamic terrorists, my husband was caught in the building, and he nearly died in the incident. Thank

With so much gladness in my heart, I welcome you, dear friends, to the New Year 2024. This is a year that we've all been expecting, and thank God, we've entered it. Thank God for His goodness and faithfulness. Where shall we start? Is it to recount how the year 2023 was spent or to plan for the year ahead? I know that at the beginning of the new year like this, many things go through our minds. Questions like – How will the year look? What will happen? Won’t what happened last year occur again this year? And so on. But God is faithful. He will grant us wisdom and understanding to navigate this year. We will receive direction and clarity. We will not be confused or frustrated this year. For we know that all things work together for good for those who love God and work according to His purpose. For this year, we know it’s our blessed year. It’s our prosperous and glorious year. We will not lack any good thing this year. And the Lord will be our sufficiency and provider this year.
