Everything, from start to finish, is undeniably on point! To think that I could relate to some of the details written here, like how I also went big on streaks, one time like that🥹.

Forever His, that's our reality. 💛

Hahaha! Thanks, sis. I used to write a lot of fiction back in the day, but as the Lord wills, I'm looking forward to doing more of these on here. You're one of my channels of inspiration, you know?🤭

This is very amazing. It spoke to me directly. Even though I'm not keeping a streak but I try so hard to not go back to my old self even with all the temptations. Thank you for bringing this to my remembrance again that I cannot do it on my own and that even if I fail, God is ready to take me back.

Keep it up, keep writing and inspiring us.

With Love ❤️

This is too good and came at the right time. I recently lost a streak too(Bible reading streak) and I couldn’t forgive myself cos I had put in a lot of effort and reading this has made me realize that it’s not the days that matter but it’s our relationship with him. Thank you bola💋

I'm so glad this blessed you, girl. I once also felt bad about a Bible plan streak hahaha, but soon realised it was silly to measure my relationship with God against those streaks (even though Bible plan streaks are helpful in building consistency). Someone once said, “God is my progress.” And that stuck with me! If God is indeed my progress, growing in the knowledge of Him is where my progress lies. In Him. Hope this also helps. Xx!

Faithful God!

This is a beautiful story, Adebola.

The discipline to stand upright in consecration. The ensnaring temptations. The guilt and regret of falling. The ever merciful father. The grace given to help in time of need.

I have been there too and this gives so much encouragement for trying times. Thanks for sharing.
