Diary of Ige

We have all been trying to figure out the impact this Covid-19 has had on us all, I mean in terms of health, work, lifestyle, family, education, just about everything. For weeks, it was all I thought about, or should I say worried about. Anything else in the news seemed less important and honestly there isn't much else in the news. I have focused my prayers mostly on health and safety, praying we all come out of this pandemic ok, also trying not to think too much about having to live with it, if it doesn't go away totally. The world is filled with lots of uncertainty, pain and hurt and seeing people hurt each other is just so heart-breaking. We must learn to love one another; the sky is vast enough to allow all types of birds fly without colliding with each other. The earth is the fullness of God and all that is in it, You and I, everything around us. We have everything we need to survive and the wisdom to manage all those resources wisely. Why do we have to live in fear of o...

Writing is an outlet for emotions, I know most writers will agree with that statement. It's a way to capture an idea,intention or point or even convey a message and depending on your flair,build around it and decide to share this creative piece with people if you so choose. I have never seen myself as having any sort of skill in writing, not in any way but my earliest recollection of writing was when I was about 8 years old, I loved to create my own comic magazines, adapted from favourite ones I read of course and I would also draw my characters; reading was my thing then and still is. Does this ring any bells? I loved reading comics such as Beano, Asterix , Dandy, Archie etc as a child, they were my brother's but I would of course sneak into his room and read them, as fast as I could ( I have already suggested these to my children by stocking up their bookshelves with it!), these were my earliest inspiration. I did entertain, briefly, the aspirations of becoming an acc...

" And this is the confidence that we have towards Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him." 1 John 5:14-15 (English Standard Version) Hi everyone, it's been a while since my last post. I have been well which I am thankful for and I pray you and all your family are doing great as well. I found myself thinking about prayers recently; the importance, frequency and especially what we pray for. I know a lot of people struggle with the verses above especially if a desired outcome to their prayers are not forthcoming. They question if God really hears them, then they begin to question the existence of this God they do not see which then starts them on the journey to losing their faith. I have never had to question the existence of God and believe me, I have weathered a few storms myself, even from a young age. I started this month of M...

So, I finally got to it. I don’t know if I should thank my furloughed situation, though my procrastination was still in high gear for a few days or maybe this is just the time when this was meant to be. I am a firm believer in everything following God’s appointed time. There are a lot of people that inspire me and it will be a honour to share their stories on my blog, from my own perspective of course, looking at how it has influenced me and the lessons I would want my kids to pick from it. I have enjoyed over the past years telling my kids stories upon stories about my Mom, the most amazing woman to walk this earth. Hearing them laugh and seeing the incredulous looks on their faces brought me so much joy and I realized how hilarious most of those stories were, (I promise you if I decide to share any, you will doubt the realness of some!). Well, they told me I am a good storyteller, so I am blaming this blog on them! Honestly, I can’t say I have any writing skills, I don’t. As ...

Finally got round to creating this blog! Get ready to be refreshed with lots of uplifting contents.💯
