Life has felt like a blur lately… fast changes, good changes, holy changes, changes I could have only previously dreamt of … and in it all, I will forever say “if I don’t have You Lord Jesus, I have nothing at all” ☁️

This week has been a “pinch me” week 😭 from answered prayers to creating Scent of Heaven’s first major custom quasi-commission to SHAKING KING CHARLES’ HAND AND SPEAKING TO HIM ABOUT SCENT OF HEAVEN?! Only God could write a story like this out of a candle business that hasn’t even hit its first year. Grateful to be Christ’s. Grateful to be Nigerian 🇳🇬. Grateful for Scent of Heaven. And forever a huge thank you to @kingstrust and my wonderful mentor, N, for this opportunity 🥺✨

Nepo baby because my Father owns the entire universe 🥹🌍

And the most FLABBERGASTING part about all this, is that… it just takes belief in Jesus, and living out faith in Him to become right with God; “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”… For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” (Romans 10:9-11,13) What GOOD NEWS in a world of performance and burnout 😭 I highly highly recommend making the decision for Jesus today; if you don’t know how to do so; dm me and I’d be beyond happy to help! #jesuslovesyou #christianity #truth #gospel

an ode to the annual trip 🤲🏽🌸🩷 hang out with ya friends. it’s fun, fun, fun.

following Jesus? best decision ever. 10/10, would do it again.

Master’s degree in the bag ✨Still feels surreal but all glory to Jesus! Swipe to see my peopledem and my dad being extra as usual 🥰

Seasons are a part of life, and when we try to operate in a new season as if it was the old one, we can become unhappy, discontented, bitter or sad, and that’s not how God wants us to treat our seasons! Instead of “ugh, I used to be like…” or “I wish I still…” try “God, what are you trying to teach me in this season? Where do you want me to go? Who do you want me to speak to? Do I need to rest? Do I need to do better in this area?“ Use your seasons, not as a time to pick at your flaws but as an opportunity to grow and thrive 🌱 📸: team effort by @duplemon & @a.nathan__

The plant going in and out of focus is meant to represent what happens when we move away from our source [God] and still think we can be self-sufficient (regardless of the ways in which that might be expressed in our lives) In that weakened state, too many people get to the point where they feel purposeless… and some think that life is not worth living, but it so is because God can redeem anyone ❤️ I hope my blog post lets you all see clearer into this topic and helps anyone that might be struggling/facing this right now (link in bio)

Storytime: When I was getting ready to move out for my Masters, I had my heart set on living in the exact same house I’d previously lived in. After all, I knew No. 5 like the back of my hand. I knew the structure of the home, the living room, kitchen and bathroom. They weren’t as big as I would’ve preferred, but what did it matter? I was familiar with it. I was so set on living in this house that I prayed to God and asked Him to keep the room for me because the date to apply was the 19th. At this point, I was nervous but trusted that God wanted me to patiently wait till that date. I did do little checks on the room I wanted up until 2 days before I had to apply. Yup, it was still there. I just KNEW the room in this house would be mine, so you can only imagine how excited I was to run to my laptop on the 19th... only to find out that the room was gone. I was literally devastated and started saying “But God... I thought You said...”, to which His reply was to lead me to a house with the same company but this was bigger house, with a bigger kitchen, a bigger living room and a nicer garden. I don’t think I’ve ever lived in a place that fits my aesthetic so well & I wake up everyday feeling blessed 😭 What’s the point of my story? So many times, we make all these little plans for our lives but don’t realise that God has something way better for us but when things don’t happen the way we want, we sulk, complain & blame God. Some people even walk away from Him completely. One thing I’ve realised though, is that when we let Him lead, He shows off how great He is, leaving us with the same “woah, this is better than I expected!” reaction I had when I first walked into my new home

I have no words to describe this weekend of going deeper with God; of crying (a lot); of strangers coming up to me to pray with/for me; of seeing the Christian heart for the world; of being reminded of God’s goodness; of new connections & friendships; of wild dancing, laughter and joy; of brotherly/sisterly love that was so tangible you could feel it in the air; of letting go of old wounds and giving them to God; of realising how blessed I am; of resting in the fact that I lack no good thing in Christ. In summary, God is SO good & I’m so blessed to be part of the best love story ever told 🥺💛

Finally ready to share something I’ve been working on for a while (link in bio) 🥺 I had a blog a couple of years ago but when I look back on what I was writing/writing about, it’s so obvious that I was confused and lost 😂 While walking with God, I’ve had lots of highs and some lows, and I can’t wait to share the never ending journey via writing (one of my favourite things to do)😛 For those that aren’t readers, I’ve recorded each post as a podcast episode ✨ Hope you all enjoy the stories about my wild and rocky life 💛
