Double blessings: burden or gifts?

Everyone knows this Gospel Nigerian song (although I'm sure half of us don't know the originator of the song) that goes like this:
'Everything na double double, na double double.' Some people even add triple or fourple to it.. Hehe

I have this pastor that says ' when double wahala comes you people should know you asked for double of everything oh'.. Haha.

Today in church; someone was praying for me, she said ' God would embarss you with blessings, I'm not joking, He would grant you multiple blessings, give you fourple blessings'. Someone over heard this last line of the conversation and said 'like quadruplets'.. I literally laughed out loud, I was like abeg oh.. Then the person said 'ah don't laugh, at least your mommy kuku likes kids, she would help you'. In which I replied and said 'she must be the one that would carry them and nurse them'..

I'm sure you are wondering 'where am I going with this?' Lol. We all want blessings. But can there really be anything as too much blessings? I'm not saying I didn't appreciate the prayer the woman gave on my behalf, in fact I said 'Amen!'. But I drew a line at the quadruplets one. I love kids; but do I want to have four at the same time?. Ah. Even thinking about it gives me shivers. (See me talking like its me that would create my children, hehe).

God blesses you and I in ways we can't phantom, some we didn't even ask for.
In my short years spent on earth, I have come to the realization that God shows mercy to whom He wants to.
So you may think someone is more blessed than someone else, that doesn't mean that they have too much blessing. Its God's mercy radiating over that person or family.

Oya lemme be going.. The koko of my gist is sha that blessings are from God. Take yours and give him thanks.

With love,

Emma Gonzalez

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

Star Struck!

Hmmm… My people, na so I see my celebrity crushes… Na so I stand at attention Na so my mouth no gree move Na so I just dey look Chai! My brain no even boot to take picture… Na so I dull! Ha-ha! I wrote this poem on the spur of writing this post. I should actually give you the gist… Scene 1 I needed to use the ATM, so, I decided to go the nearest one around my office, I said to myself ‘this won’t take time, no need to carry phone’, that’s how I left my phone in the office oh. I got to the ATM, there were a couple of people, so I joined the queue, that’s how a black jeep rolled into the parking lot. Enter Nathaniel Bassey… I opened my eyes with surprise, (if you read my posts, you know Nathaniel is BAE!) and began to wonder why no one was screaming and acting all giddy. ‘Is the ATM working’ he asked. ME!!! He spoke to ME!!! I couldn’t even answer I just shook my head because I was too mesmerised. God bless you, I am...

Society and one of its ills

This post started off as a rant, but then I decided why just rant? Critic the ill, but also share lessons you’ve amassed overtime. Remember, this month is the month of purpose, why rant and not have a purpose? I usually say, ‘everyone has an opinion, all it takes to be swayed to the other side – is good argument. Daz all! I can start a movement on ‘School should be optional, because these days an individual can ‘’blow’’ without the four walls of a classroom’, yes I’ll have followers, but then TeamEducationForAll would rise and protest with their POV, and then the debate would begin. *yawn* it is an endless vicious cycle. Today’s rant is all about Single. Singleness. Single persons. Single not in a relationship. Who dictates social media? People! Societies are made of people. It is funny that social media has a way of dragging one down ehn, but then again, its social media, we still need her (yes, social media is female), ironically I read three different articles...

I'm Inspired...
