MY PLAN VERSUS GOD'S PLAN

-
When God does some things, we actually feel or think it's a detriment to our person. We feel dejected, rejected and absolutely neglected. It seems like we are at the end of it all and there is no hope. That's applicable to my story of wanting to be a lawyer and a human right activist. If you check the back of my secondary school notebooks, you'll see the inscription Mobola, the activist. Funny, right? I was so sure of it and thought "nothing could/would ever change my resolve" but lo and behold, God had a different plan. As it is now, I doubt if I'll ever be happy if I had gone into that field. You know why? I didn't really prepare myself for what the job entails - learning to accommodate and keeping a cool head about situations. This girl you see would blow things out of proportion, talk harshly, scream and all of that.

Maybe by now, I'd have broken someone's head or I would have forgotten how to smile/laugh genuinely (lol). Hence, why God skillfully diverted the way. I remembered telling someone I'd be pursuing a second degree in law and the reaction I got left me smiling till date. He had said "You? Law? I can't imagine how strict you'll be".

Apparently, this current field of mine is a way of God telling me
"Baby, you first need to learn self control". I have never been more happy. Yeah the road seems longer but it was surely needed. In all things, trust God for direction. He never leads one astray.

    This is very true. God has a way of putting us on the right path even when. We thirst for what's not best for us. I love this and I've learnt from it. Kudos to the writer

    I remember always being thankful for God's plans over my plans, as it in end you can't help but be amazed of the way his plans always supercedes ours. Thanks Mobola🥰

      I'm glad you can relate. Even though we humans prefer shortcuts but however, his ways are not our ways. His got the perfect plan for everyday.

      Thank you for your contribution.

DETERMINE YOUR CIRCLE

  I was going through my telephone address book dated 2008/2014 yesterday and discovered that I was no longer in contact with 90% of the people I had recorded therein. It is not like they became a bad person all of a sudden but there is every plausibility that we outgrew each other's relevancy. Now this is the real deal. Life is in stages and so is growth and development. Consciously or unconsciously, there are numbers of behaviour cum people you leave as you grow. You are not doing this because you feel you can just use and dump them but solely because you need people who shares the same ideology, dreams and visions with you. The people you surround yourself with goes a long way in determining the rate at which you achieve your purpose. However, I smile when I hear people say they keep small circle because they don't want drama. Of a truth, no one loves drama. Having a small or large circle is not the bone of contention but the value they add to your life.  This is th

FASHION GONE WRONG

Fashion rule says do not over dress or under dress; in all things keep it classy, simple and elegant with the right accessories that blend with the occasion. But we have, at some point, gone against this rule. Today I will be sharing my own fashion gone wrong series. Sit, relax and enjoy. My first fashion gone wrong experience could be traced back to when I was in SSS 3. We all could attest it to it that there is this aura affiliated to being in that class which ranges from being the senior of all classes to the independence that is soon to come. Being a boarder, we had little or no time to showcase our sweet body and fashion sense as we were clad in oversized check uniforms throughout the school term time. So our only escape route was during jamb. Oh yes! Everyone wanted to look peng to the exam hall. Prior to the exam day, we had selected our clothes and shoes, carefully pressed them and hanged them waiting for the D-day. On the eve of the exam day, everyone kept talking of
