Baby, Relax!


I’m no saint so I can’t brag about my love for God but I can definitely brag about His love for me. God truly sees our thoughts and knows our needs even before we ask. He knows exactly what we need and how to give it to us. I think and worry too much maybe even more than the people I know and what result do I get? None. I only end up making the situation worse than it was already. You know, I feel like God calls me baby because I can hear it clearly when I feel He’s  telling me to relax because He’s got me.

To know the extent of how much I over think, let me give you an example. I’m the kind of person that might want to visit someone and be planning my responses mentally. Planning how to seat, whether or not to eat and many minute arrangements in my head that eventually doesn’t go as planned. Even after I take my leave, I analyze my actions there wondering if I said the wrong or right thing. But this voice in my head keeps saying “baby, relax”.

There are lots of times when I need something maybe not life threatening like food, money, perfume etc and God will just provide out of the blues, I mean doesn’t He own the blues? I remember going to school for plenty registration and knowing that the staff there were naturally aggressive, slow and time wasting, you can queue for hours and the staff will end up walking out on everyone at the slightest provocation which means time and energy has been wasted and no result to show for it. I remembered this and it was a cause for concern so I told God to please make it stress free for me. That day, I didn’t spend up to five minutes for something that would have taken hours.

This God listens. If He can do little things, He can definitely do big things. He reminds me of promises I don’t keep and I make amends as soon as I can. Just yesterday, I was analyzing my income and all the expenses I have. You know how a lot of people think you’re enjoying because you seem to look fresh and you don’t talk about your problems, that’s what I’m talking about. After thinking back and forth, I told myself “Aanu, you worry too much” and I heard again “Baby relax, I got you”.

I know that you have problems and you wish you could wake up one day and they’ll be gone. Sometimes you feel that if suicide had no consequence, you’d have committed it long ago. Some of us don’t even know what we’re living for, we’re just there. I can’t make your situation better right now but all I know is that if you believe that God exists, he hears and knows your heart desires. He’s telling you to relax. Stop thinking for a moment. Eat something nice and try to look good. Sleep well. Just relax but don’t stop there. Keep trying your best. Put in your best efforts and leave him to it. He’s got you bigtime. 

You’re his responsibility and he’s a good father who wouldn’t turn a blind eye to his children even the most prodigal of them all. He can cause your enemies to bless you and give you your heart desires so just chill man. Don’t think that you’ve sinned so much that He doesn’t care about you anymore, He definitely does care and he’s working on you gradually to give you that expected end. Why not relax? What would you rather do anyway?

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still...

Life after Death...real or not?

Life after death....hmmmm      I know we've all heard or read stories about people who lived after they died.      I'm not talking about reincarnation this time, I'm talking about people who were confirmed dead but were still recognised elsewhere alive, hale and hearty.      Okay, there was this lady who resided close to my house diagnosed with tuberculosis or something related because she was drying up real bad, might have been Hiv too (just saying), she usually patronised my shop where soft drinks and snacks were sold. She usually bought only pepsi or 7up, as the spirit led her I guess.      I was very young then and observant too as always so one day she came as usual, bought 7up and left. Not long after she left, I heard that she had died the previous day.      I wondered how someone could be dead and still buy her usual the next day, I thought it was a strange thing so I never told anyone.   ...

My End Of The Year Note

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we? I'm very fine and I can smell 2016 already afterall it's just some hours from now so I guess I'd just use this medium to say merry Christmas in arrears and happy new year in advance. I hope we all "shouted out" to our uncles and aunties, class teachers, lol, don't mind me. I'm sure we remember those Christmas funfairs where kids shout out to their loved ones where some even cry while talking, it's very hilarious watching them. Okay, now to the reason we're here. This year wasn't so bad for me though it didn't start so well but I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm going to share them with you. Let's start with the negatives so the story can have a good ending. For about half of the year, I was jobless which means I was frustrated, broke, you know the drill. Recently too, I lost my school's Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Esther Tchokatcheu who played a very important role in the process of my being a gr...
