Expecting the Unexpected

-

Hello friends. Welcome back. Trust you had a great week. And as days are going by, I hope you are catching up with your plans and programs for the year. I know a lot has happened this year already and many are still happening. 

But you know what —everything will work together for our good. And the Lord will make every crooked way straight and make lines fall for us in pleasant places. 

I want to share something about expectation. I call it expecting the unexpected. Practically every time, we have some things we expect for the day, for the week or for the year. It is paradoxical to expect what we don’t want to expect, or to prepare for what we are not sure is going to happen. 

However, miscellaneous is part of life and whether we expect it or not, it will happen anyway. Sometimes, this happens in the form of change in our plans, and we know that wouldn’t really be what we wanted but did happen. 

I’m sure you would have had many occasions when something that you didn’t expect or prepared for happened. It could be something good or bad. 

If it is good, you will be happy seeing it and hope for more next time. If it is bad, you will never pray for such to happen again. 

Such is life!

‘Expecting the unexpected’ is a form of preparation, getting your mind set, and your loins guarded with all the essentials. 

It wouldn’t mean to cumber your mind with negative thoughts or be expecting something evil, but to build yourself, grow more and bring good out of life in every situation. 

In my life, I’ve had many unexpected situations. But they’ve taught me important lessons of life. And one thing I know for sure is that, they will come. But when they come, how prepared will they find you?

Have a great weekend!

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

Welcome to 2024, Friends!

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.
