                                 It's about Staying Married


After school what next? A job, a stable career, I mean, life of purpose and stability but no, in this part of the world all they see is husband. They want you to get married. After college, they want to see The man. I keep wondering when we will get off that ladder? Let me be a woman and let me do my thing, stop ringing marriage into my ears like that's the best I can do for me.



If I want to get married, I will, don't pressurise me to doing that. Don't make me less of me because of  a man. I hate it when cousins come home and start looking at everyman beside me suspiciously. In fact., I don't want to take male friends home anymore. Those old women will keep asking you the same questions annoying, Hello! I am not married for now, Shush please!

Let me pursue something and I can do more than pursing a man.

I can have a good career and live for me

I change this world without breeding kids

And when I want to get married, I will marry...

I will know the right time to do that...

I will know that I am getting married for me not for the family.

It's more than getting married it's about staying joyful married.

     Faith It Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.{Hebrews 11:1} . This we know and how do we act. Sharon played a very vital role in church as the Choir Coordinator. She was also the one in charge of teenage outreaches. A remarkable lady she was and everyone loved her. Sharon is the example of a woman who works in the vineyard with the whole of her heart but Sharon has something she couldn't tell anyone. She had an ailing mother.  A woman who was mentally ill and has been in the hospital for over 2 Years now. She's been praying and asking the lord to touch her mum. No one knew what she was going through because her countenance and zeal didn't permit any deep scrutiny. One day, as she was in service, the pastor said, You cannot be sincerely involved in the business of God and God won't be ready to attend to your affairs. Like a sharp sword, it cut through the veins of Sharon. After the service, she went on her knees and praye

 That Air... That Struggle... That Process Have you noticed how fire burning your heart and body gets after a super conference? That week, you will be on top of your game spiritually, You will want to make use of everything around you. The words of the speakers keep you alert every seconds and then after two weeks nothing comes to your brain anymore. A little test comes to prove us and gush! nothing shows up. We can't even remember a dime, we are back to being our old selves. Can I get a witness? who has been in this struggle or still experiencing this struggle?  This is it: It's beyond the excitement. Yeah, It's good to be excited but it's way beyond it. It requires constant meditation just like we do with our jobs, we want to be the best we constantly remind ourselves of where we are headed and how we want to get there. That's the same way we move with the spiritual. Because you had a brilliant conference doesn't mean your life will change automatically

Dear Brother B, As a christian lady, it's sometimes difficult to see those good, calm, spiritual and cultured guys in the church. It looks like, they have all been married away and the rest of the ones left for us are chaffs. It's depressing when I have to talk and talk to Brother B about simple etiquettes. He doesn't know jack. He cannot even relate with what I want all he does is speak about some irrelevant things and when he asks me out and I decline, they will say, I flaunt a lot. Can two walk together except they agree? You know the answer already. We just want excellent men. We want men that are qualified to stand before kings and not ordinary men. Men with panache with the grace of God oozing out of them. It's not too much to ask for? Is it? Some 'spiritual' brothers will come and all they know how to do is speak with saliva dropping off at every conversation. Oh Days! Can we have some sanity? You don't even know how to speak well, this isn't
