We went to check out some work on a project site. Danielle went out with us. First, we had to put on boots that could prevent our feet from harm. Second, we had to keep our eyes on Danielle to ensure she is safe always. At a point, while trying to make our way through some dry shrubs, I stepped […]
Sometimes in the early days of ministry, we were preparing for a major meeting. We worked late into the evening. Someone who has a car had given a ride to those who lived far from the church. There were just three of us left in the church- A Young Man, A young lady and I. The young man lived just […]
In my first year at University, an elderly one came to pick me up from school. He began to complain that it had not rained in Eruwa for weeks and the farmers were not finding it funny. I told him with my loudmouth, “I am Temiloluwa Ola and wherever I go, the wetness of God follows me. That once I […]
As I got to the office that afternoon after stepping out a bit, a young baby ran towards me. He had been playing with sand all along. As he came towards me in my fully cladded formal attire, the grandma said, “Don’t carry him. He is very dirty”. I understood the grandma but the only response that came to my […]
A few weeks after Irewamiri told me “Yes”, she went cold on me. She had come around to see me and we were to have some discussion. But as we had the conversation, I realised that she was not free with me. I asked her calmly what the issue was. She said to me, “You are not my friend”. She […]
Olive picked up a top and tried wearing it. I approached her to help her and she began to say, “I can do it by myself”. I left her to it. After a moment of struggling, she began to cry and throw tantrums. She was struggling with it but could not get to wear it. She got frustrated and threw […]
Danielle had been with mum in the kitchen- clearing dishes alongside. It was a sweet adventure for her. Mum was also making Moin-Moin (a delicious delicacy made from blended beans that taste amazing when cooked in special leaves) and she was helping with the process. At a point, Mum had to relieve Danielle of some of the technical parts of […]
After a very long day, my girls slept off in the living room. Since I knew we would move them to their rooms, I walked into their room to at least make it neat. I needed to lay both beds but I eventually did some shoddy thing in haste. That was when the Holy Spirit stepped in:“Are those girls queens?”, […]
I overheard a “just before school” conversation between Danielle and Irewamiri. Danielle was insisting that she does not need anyone to teach her and that she knew what she was doing already. Her mum said, “At my age, I still have teachers. Your dad at his age still has teachers. You will always need teachers”. That was the end of […]
I needed to use an earpiece. I would normally just use a wireless one for comfort. But I decided to pick up one of the old wired ones. I had not used it in a very long time. When I picked it up, the cables were already tangled. It took a long time to untangle it. It was a burden. […]
