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. […]
Some years back, as I was getting home in the evening, I spotted some of my neighbours. I drove to the front of their house and stepped out of the car to exchange pleasantries. A few minutes into our gist time, I noticed the car began to move backwards. I was surprised. I ran towards it but there was nothing […]
A friend was narrating to her that she had an emergency some days back and sent a text message to some of her friends to kindly stand in the gap for her around 1 am. She then asked her friend, “Why did you not text me also?” The friend told her, “It is difficult to reach you on a normal […]
As the girls were getting dressed for school, Danielle was already fully dressed while Olive was still being playful. I told her to approach Mum so she could put on her pair of socks. At the same time, I told Olive, “Be quick and let’s go to school”. Her response was the shocker I needed for the day, she said, […]
We named our second daughter, Ayoigbala (The Joy of Salvation). My parents named her “Ibukunoluwa” (The Blessing of the Lord). We nicknamed her Olive. Our dear grandfather in the faith named her “Dorcas”. For a long time, a lot of people would call her by either of the first two names or by her pet name. Suddenly, we noticed that […]
We were having an appraisal meeting right after one of our services. I said to the team that “We need to be deliberate about everything even if it is taking announcements in a service”. I then asked, “How will you prepare if you are asked to take an announcement at the Redemption Camp during Holy Ghost Service?” They all looked […]
Earlier in the day as I walked from the living room into the bedroom, I noticed a small eraser on the floor. I had a prompt in my spirit to pick it up and keep it. I told myself “I will pick it up later”. I never did. Later in the evening, Danielle made a mistake in her homework and […]
