 Hey guys welcome to the blog. I'm sad today, I recently played house guest to a friend and her brothers, they were nice and generous with me. Today, one of the brothers is no more. A friend of mine had once said, "the price of living in Nigeria is our lives", and I didn't dwell much on it till this morning.

Let's talk about anxieties… The bible encourages us to be anxious for nothing and I am a Bible believing, tongue speaking christian yet, I am anxious about almost everything. Hi, keep in line, I'm not nearly holy enough, saved not perfect, and progress over perfection. Back to anxieties, how do you deal with them? My birthday is in two months ish, and I am already overly demeaned by self. A year older what have you achieved? Why do you deserve to be happy and celebrated? What are you thankful for? What has changed? Yo it's a hassle. I often say that I am my biggest critic, do you get these talk down from yourself too? I wonder how the revelation, 'be anxious for nothing came about'. I mean, God do you not see that people are winning in different spheres of life and all I'm doing is existing, like???? How is it that the only...
