Still Standing…

October 31, 2016 by Esther No Comments

So for a few days now I have been contemplating on taking a break from my writing because I have been trying to figure a few things out that I have been struggling with for sometime now.

I really do find it hard to fight this battle because I feel like every time I try, I sink further. I was asked this question a few days ago “What is the one subject you know about the most, the one you can talk about even in your sleep; the particular thing you know like the back of your hand?” I stopped for a minute to think really hard and the answer that popped out of my mouth sent me into tears. Brokenness  and Pain. I know them like the back of my hand.

Just when I feel like I have gotten my life back on track and I know where I want to be, the mess comes back harder knocking me off my feet. It is easy to deal with a mess you know you created but when you happen to find yourself in one that wasn’t created by you, you lose track of everything. I hurt! I hurt badly.

A reminder

October 24, 2016 by Esther 1 Comment

I love watching the sunset, going for walks exploring the woods come rain or sunshine. I have been blessed to live in a place surrounded by nature places and in those walks I meet and discover the beauty of God all over again.

I found myself in a messy situation that I didn’t create. All sort of questions were running through my mind. In those nights, I cried myself to sleep praying, worshipping and asking God to come through for me. Sometimes I believe He listens to me other times I feel like my prayers reaches the ceiling and bounds back down.

I decided to go for a walk to listen to nature talk to me and remind myself that God has got this; after my walk I didn’t feel like I had God with me. I sent a few messages to my friends to join me in prayers concerning this situation. One particular reply reminded me of the faithfulness of God.

My Crossroads

October 17, 2016 by Esther No Comments

My week started like every other week; I speak positive things to myself and also in my week. I had a lecture on Monday that left me feeling not very confident: I ended up speaking to a friend who encouraged me to keep my focus and everything will work out fine. I got a text from my mum asking me to find a document that she needed which was in my possession.

That night, I started going through all my documents and I came across one quote I had written on a piece of paper

When you reach a point where you think there’s no way, there in lies the way.

I stopped and tried to remember what season I was in at that time 5 years when I wrote it. I had just had a terrible break up and at the same time, I had some family issues to deal with. I remembered that I found the way through God.

still looking for the document required by my mother when I came across one of my old journal from 3 years ago. I was having a browse through the book when I stumbled upon a quote that made me jump

Only when the way ahead seems impossible, then you have found it! That is God’s way- Oreoluwa Esther

My Tradition

October 10, 2016 by Esther No Comments

I have been thinking about this topic for a while now, probably because growing up my family never had any to follow or show me. I met people that have traditions for Christmas, Easter, birthdays and the list goes on. When asked what traditions do you or your family have? I reply none and honestly I didn’t like traditions till recent; in fact I didn’t know I did one until this year.

Now that I am old enough and started having a few traditions, I have realised the importance of them in my life. The things I call traditions have become a critical piece of my life and are forming the structure and foundation of my life and the society I am building around me. They are helping me celebrate the things that really matter in my life.

Beauty- A Lesson

October 3, 2016 by Esther No Comments

Sometimes I see beauty sometimes I don’t

Sometimes I get caught in the beauty of material things and take for granted the most precious and beautiful things around me.

Sometimes I complain and groan about the things/place/people around me and forget to see the beauty in them.

I am used to seeing these things there so I get blind-sighted that I miss the beauty in them.

I see beauty in them but I am not looking at the beauty.
