“With so much God gave me, I did so little. I wasn't a good steward of my time, giftings, resources and relationships. Although my devotion to God didn't take the backseat”
I find this so beautifully written. I totally agree.
We’ve gotten to a point where we’ve prioritized God (and it’s not going anywhere), but the other areas in our lives may suffer.
I actually read this immediately it dropped. I knew Pharmacy school had to be the culprit especially since you'd mentioned it earlier on my blog. The fact that you can even be active on this newsletter while in pharmacy school is commendable. Well done! Trying to remember what extra curricular activities I did while in Pharmacy school but I can't seem to remember a solid one at the moment so I'll just pass. I think I was just too nerdy during my time lol.
I just want to encourage you that regardless of everything, you'll come out stronger. Back then in school, it felt like my whole world. I remember the days and nights I cried, but right now, I wonder why I worried about those days. If only I could see that there were brighter days ahead. God gave me a word back then during my final exams. It was 'God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind.' One secret I learned and still learning when tension and fear is about to knock me out is to just relax in the arms of grace. You'll just see yourself remembering everything you learned through the help of the Spirit.
As for my November, hmmn, I look back and all I can say is thank God. For being God. For taking care of me. I mean literally. I'm learning to see God as a Dad in this season and enjoy our moments together. A lot inbetween, but all that matters is that I'm alive and thriving because God is good. I'm glad you're thriving too. I mean, see beaurrry!! c'mon! I don't think I had time for this kind of beauty back then o, so shine on my sis! Hehe.
Okay let me be going. This comment is already too long. Xx!
“The thing about being in a state of autopilot is that existence feels more mechanical than spiritual. What it does is that it makes you, a being of life, feel more like some machine lacking the essence of lubrication. Life, that's supposed to be lived one day at a time with eternity in view...” THIS IS IT!
It’s good to have you back, Debola! All the best in your exams
My sister!!! E no easy😂😭😭. This is me living in the light of a profession I spoke into existence at 12 years old🤣. God is good regardless, and I know he will continue to help me! Thank you for your feedback/counsel/encouragement and prayers. Feels good to have you as a big sister on this journey! I'm glad November was all that for you, sounds like a very significant month in your walk with God. Your path shines brighter, sis. Thank for the long comment! You know I always enjoy reading you😂💛.
It's good to have you back, Sis!
I missed your letters.
This was such a beautiful read and thank you for the vulnerability!
November has been a lot for me.
In November, I have learned how to depend on God more, God has been teaching me how to run to him and not to my thoughts.
God has been teaching me how to die to self.
I would check the book out, thank you for sharing!
You are maintaining the beauty very well oo!😍
Be encouraged and receive strength!
God bless you!❤️🤗
Wow! Thank you for sharing, sis. Amen to your prayers. God is helping us💛. I gatz to maintain the beaudddy lol😭😂.

To be very honest I still find it difficult to believe that tomorrow we're entering a new month,
That 30 days passed by like 30 hours..
That I didn't really achieve all I aspired for..
That the sophomore life wasn't as soft as I envisioned..
That yet again I keep getting inspired but I never seem to take actions..
But as the saying goes it can only get worse before it gets better
So dear, if you ask how the penultimate month of the year was, I can only say I wish I had made the most of it.
Thank you so much for this, it goes a long way 🤗.
Thank you for reading, Jude! I hope you're encouraged to keep going. God's got you 💛
