Happy International Women's Day

 Dear woman,

It's your day today and here is a letter from me to you.

Dear woman, 

I admire your courage and your resilience. Your ability to keep on going for the great despite the numerous heartaches life sends your way.

I see the many challenges life throws your way, from friends and family alike. The demeaning remarks though sometimes innocent and how they throw you off course. I see you trying to find yourself in a struggling world and how desperately you want to hold on to your own belief and stand by it.

It is beautiful that you keep choosing the moral high road, it is beautiful that you embrace your fragility and use it to your good, that you see that even in your weakness, there is strength.

The Bible in 1 Samuel 1 speaks of Hannah, a woman who went through so much ridicule due to her inability to give birth to a child and her despair, the bible tells us that she went to the temple and even there, faced ridicule from the priest but still stood her ground, she did not back down because she knew what she wanted and God heard her. She was a woman of courage. Hannah asked for a Child and decided to lay that child on the line.

Hannah displayed both sacrifice and wisdom. Desperate times called for desperate measures yet even in her desperation, she acted wisely, she gave up her first child but gained so much more. She sacrificed her son, Samuel so that God would use him but:

1- She would have a son.

2- She understood that no-one gives anything to God and it does not yield fruit.


Hannah teaches us that even in our struggle, Dear woman, we should always go back to the source, to our creator. 

The storm would be over soon, Trust the Lord thy God with all thy heart and lean not on your own understanding. Trust him. Trust him, Dear woman. The storm would be over soon. Learn from Hannah. Learn from Racheal. Your sacrifice would not be a waste, you would be seen and heard. Christ will give you life. 

You are held constantly by him. He loves you. He is one with you and He understands. Go to Him.


Happy International Women's Day!

April 2021 - All Hail Omokhuwa: the Hair stylist || The Breaking

I matriculated this month and because I could not afford to make my hair, styled my hair myself in the morning before leaving, my mum really wanted to come for my matriculation but somehow fell sick so my elder ones came instead.  Matriculation connotes something of joy to people but I wasn't really happy, I felt shame and at the same time, I did not post anything because I wanted to keep my life private however, I posted a picture due to my hair, I wanted people to see the beauty but unfortunately, I had not taken any picture without the cap and gown for my hair. The picture I posted👇 This is a spillover for you. 🥰 Despite all this, this was a very depressing month for me, I was going through a lot of things and not talking to anyone about it, it messed up with me a lot, and at times, messed up with my relationship with people. I was reading something into what was not. I had days where I would cry endlessly and it always transited into other ...

February 2021: I have to leave Landmark University! || The Breaking

I had mixed feelings about being in LMU, people would see me as my brother's sister, those who were keen on the information and I would just be Elisha's sister, in a sense to them. A good name makes way, yes but we went to the same secondary school as well.  I had some assignments God had given to me before now as well which was to be online, I had also started a #learndailychallenge on twitter and without a gadget, it seemed I would not be able to do them till much later, I did not mind not having a phone, I just did not know how things will work out.                                         *** Although it was a time of bliss for the two weeks I stayed, I was in pain at certain periods of time in that first week and when I felt overwhelmed, I either laid on my bed and cried or went to the bathroom. I was tired, this was the second university I would be in. The next week, I went to t...

A New Year Push

Happy New Year! 🎊 It's a new year and I am quite sure some of us have written our new year resolutions forgetting the one we wrote last year, 2021, that we could not accomplish. For some people, t hey are still working on their new year plans while some others have decided that New year resolutions are nothing and so they will not plan. A new year means different things to people. For me, a new year means starting a blog.. a new phase of taking my writing to an even larger audience, Jesus advised me to by the Holy Spirit. So, if anything, we have him to thank for this.  I am Omokhuwa, Omokhuwa is an Edo name and it means Child is wealth. I am basically telling you that I am wealth seeing as I am a Child. I am a writer, a student, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a teacher, an influencer and Jesus's Bride amongst other things. Once again, It is  a new year and this new year will come with prophecies as with previous years, prophecies that if not built on, will remain only in a ...
