It’s Time to Clean Up

-

So much sun this summer. Thank God for His grace and goodness. How are you friends? Hope you are doing well and enjoying this summer.

Today, I’m discussing a title – it’s time to clean up. Perhaps, you are someone like me who likes to sometimes do some clean up in my house. I like to look into my room and see something to change, something to fix, and something to clean up. I have had several occasions when I found things in my room or house that I didn’t need. I packed them and gave them out.

Sometimes, it could be when a need arises from outside or someone asked me for something that I’ll remember I’m not using it, so I’ll give it out.

A lot of times, we have more than we need, and we still feel we don’t have enough. It’s like that, as humans. The 80/20 rule states that we use only 20% of what we have 80% of the time. In other words, there are only few things we use most of the time out of what we have. And that calls for some clean up!

When we have a lot of things in our room, it may look so clumsy, jampacked, and stuffy. We may find it difficult having space for important things, while trivial things litter everywhere. This is similar to what we have in our mind.

At times, we may have thoughts that are unimportant littering our minds and give no space for important ones. Our minds may be so congested and overwhelmed with petty insignificant thoughts, and that disallow us from being productive and effective in our lives.

It’s important we do some clean up. Starting from how our room is, to how our mind is. If you have something you are not using, and you feel someone else needs it, you can give them out. And if you have something you are using, and you think you have more than enough, you can share with those who don’t have. That is a generous spirit!

If you have thoughts in your mind that are not adding value to your life, you should let them go and receive better ones. 

It's time to clean up your mind of bad thoughts. It's time to clean up your life of bad habits. It's also time to clean up yourself of bad past, bad relationship, bad connections and so on. 

There are many important things to do in this life than to be dwelling on bad thoughts. I believe you will keep getting better as you take time to clean up your mind and rid it of bad things. 

Fill your mind with your purpose. Fill it with your future. Fill it with God's words and promises; His word will come to pass in your life and you will have a great testimony. 

I see you making progress in every area of your life. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful 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

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.
