What do you PRAY for?



Happy new month!!! 🎉 Trust you have been good since my last post.

I woke up yesterday with the brightest of mood... might be understandable because it is a new month and the start of the second-half of the year 2020 but in introspect, I realized we get so caught up with so many endless life's activities that we underrate or neglect the "seemingly small blessings". We consider it a right and not a privilege. We stay focused on how, where and when we would receive the "big blessings" without realizing that's not even our place to start with.

After all these thoughts, realizing through it all, especially in this pandemic, I can still be  in the mood of thanksgiving!... my excitement increased. Even my mum had to ask what the good news was and I couldn't think of a better response than "... is my life not enough good news to you?"😅

So yeah, I was on facebook for the first time in a while and thanks to Facebook memories, I was reminded of a post I shared sometime in 2016.  I read it and figured it is still very much valid. Here it goes;

"As each day comes to a close,  I pray life becomes all that I envisaged it to be if not more but most importantly that God's special will and purpose play gloriously with me... that my goals and aspiration stay big, my fears and worries remain small.

I pray that I never need to bear more than I can hold and I never need to hold on to what was never meant to be mine.

When confronted with choices to choose from, I pray that my sense of discernment never fails; that I should be able to differentiate a favourable choice to an unfavourable one.

When it is cold outside, I pray that I will have the grace and strength to show to everyone the sincereness and warmth of my smile.

 I pray that God continues to show His Grace towards me.

I sincerely pray that I do not forget those who helped and encouraged me in my down times.

I pray I would always remember that people love me and want the best for me.

I pray that God keeps directing my every step whenever it seems I am going astray.

I pray that I forgive whoever made me feel bad at one time or another and that I get forgiveness from whoever I may (have) offend(ed).

I pray I always remember that patience is a virtue and that I do not need to run faster than life itself.

I pray that I am always surrounded with good friends.

I pray that I always be the best I can be even when the chips may be down.

I pray that when it comes to things I cannot get nor situations I cannot change that I always remember to "Let go and Let God".

And above all of this,  I pray that God never leaves me nor all the people and things that concerns me and that His purpose be forever made manifest in our lives.

What is your prayer???".

That's it and I sincerely hope this moved you to always stay thankful even for the seemingly small blessings and to say a word of prayer today.

Until next time, I'm sending my love and everything nice your way!. ❤💫

Have a wonderful month!🌸

The transformation to a Beast!

Photo   credit :  Google   images My name is Damilare and Uncle Seun turned the beautiful soul in me to a beast... Who will save me now?. He (Uncle Seun) wasn’t exactly my “Uncle”. He was an orphan who Daddy employed to work for the family and I grew to call him “Uncle”. I mean, he thought me all I needed to know as a child from helping with school assignments, football, play station, prepping me for school and the likes. I believe he did that job well. Whatever he did for me and to me was very much commendable. He did it perfectly well. The five-year old me idolized him as my mentor. He was everything to me. Well, my parents were never available. They were all up for travels and business meetings. I remember, I used to miss them initially but as time went by, the love I had for my parents was quickly replaced with the love I found in the comfort and happiness Uncle Seun provides. He was my happy place. My sixth year birthday was coming up soon...

A letter to my Older self.

Dear Catherine, You have no idea how excited I am writing you this and it's not because it's Christmas today. I have been wanting to do this for the longest and today just seemed right!. Also, I have seen posts from a few people writing to their older selves and I figured you deserve one too. You think so, right?. Indeed.😊 So, how are you?... uhmm, first, hollup ! I will need you to take a deep breath before answering. I'm curious to know how my older self is faring. Tell me...don't hold back...let it out and be honest. How are you?. I want to know everything! * rubs palm* Currently... I think you are a sweet soul. You love a positive atmosphere. You love good music... it doesn't matter if you don't understand the lyrics but good music always finds a way of lifting your mood. You sing the loudest even when you are sure of not getting the notes right. You are focused yet nonchalant and playful. You are a loyal friend. In friendship, you appreciate honesty at its...

The KEEPER'S words...

Have you ever been in a situation where it feels like there is a battle between your mind and the voices in your head?. It's like a supremacy battle. However, you want to be careful to follow the right voice, lest, you may stumble. You know that moment when you really want some 'quiet' inorder to take that next step... you can hear the voices in your head screaming in support of what it is beckoning you to do but the mind says otherwise and you wonder why can't these two agree! Why do they have a mind of their own?.  You say to yourself " I am in charge " to the point that you now totally believe you truly are but are you truly in charge?. You actually look helpless😏 In a way to caress your ego into believing you are indeed in control, you run straight to your arsenal (forgetting to say hello to the one who is in charge of that arsenal). You pick up all the necessary weapon you figure you might need for your show of power. The funny thing is, now you have the...
