Hi, my love.😭
So, I know I didn’t send a letter on Saturday or Sunday, forgive me . I officially started my industrial training, and honestly, my schedule has just been… everywhere. I’ve been trying to plan myself and find a rhythm, and I think I’m just settling in now. It’s been a good experience so far, though. Interestingly, I’ve learned a lot in just a few days — not just about drugs, but about God, and myself. And I’m also learning that my lecturers knew what they were saying, like mad!😂😂
Before I go on, how are you and how was your day?
So, I was listening to yesterday’s 100 Days of Discipleship episode (if you’re not on that yet, please hop on NOW) this evening , and something Apostle Iren said stopped me in my tracks. He said that when you keep seeing proof of God’s goodness, of His faithfulness, of the truth of the Gospel , and you still keep doubting ,what you’re doing is hardening your heart.
My love.
It reminded me of so many moments, like when I was scared for my last semester exams. I remember texting two people I really respect to pray for me and I told them I was just so anxious. They both replied something simple and similar but it’s stayed with me:
“God has helped you in all your previous exams. Why do you think He’ll stop now?”
And honestly? That hit. Because it was true. He had helped me. Over and over. Yet I still let fear take up space.
Then yesterday, something random happened at work. I saw a drug and was just overly curious about what it was used for. I asked a few people around me, but no one really knew. Some said I could check online, but I was tired and just let it go.
Now, here’s the funny part. Today, I got a presentation topic at work. Guess what class of drug I was asked to speak on?
Yes, you guessed right. The same one I was curious about yesterday. And not just the same class , the exact drug I saw was even listed as an example.
I paused and was like, “Ah, Holy Spirit, Oga mi, na so you dey do?” 😭
So, this evening, as I listened to Pastey, everything just clicked:
“This is what I’ve been trying to teach you. These are the signs. These little nudges. This is proof that I am with you.” He said.
And it made me think — how many times have I doubted His goodness or overlooked His presence just because it wasn’t loud or dramatic? How many gentle signs have I ignored simply because I wasn’t observant enough ?
It scared me and I found myself thinking, what if I just keep missing it? What if I don’t read Him well enough? Won’t God just say, “this girl never pays attention, wo, Holy Spirit, leave that side for now.”?
But even in that fear, which is also ridiculous by the way, this moment was a reminder I desperately needed:
That He still shows up. That He still speaks. That the Holy Spirit is still with me and He hasn’t given up on me.
“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” — Psalm 145:18
So yeah, this is your reminder (and mine):
Keep paying attention. Sometimes, what looks random is proof. Sometimes, what feels small is a message. And sometimes, the help you need tomorrow is being whispered today.
I pray that this week, and in the weeks to come, you’ll be more sensitive to the gentle ways God is speaking. That your heart will stay soft, your eyes will stay open, and you won’t miss the little signs that remind you: He’s near, and He’s helping you. May you not just go through the days, but grow through them with careful eyes. And may you never forget: the Holy Spirit is with you.
Thank you always reading!
See you next week, byeee!❤️
