Pastor Poju said something a few years ago that stuck. If you walk into an operating room in the middle of a surgery with no context, you’d think it was a murder scene. But the cuts are necessary, intentional for healing. Don’t judge as dead what is merely in process. 🙏🏾

Being a single woman in your late 20s is mind bending if you’re from a culture that disproportionately values marriage + childbearing… But there’s a *golden moment* when you cross into 30, look around, and go “well then! Guess I didn’t die!” Hold tightly to that light ❤️

Talk to homeowners before you buy. People who’ll tell you the real. Forever grateful I spoke with my friend Ediri who told me three things that year:
1) Kill that ‘dream home’ shyte
2) Buy where you can rent out at the drop of a hat
3) Buy where property values are appreciating
Not that I regret buying my home, but people really hyped homeownership without sharing the real real

This whole thing about praying before you make a decision? It may be suboptimal. I think Christians are supposed to *stay* prayed up and be so in tune with Abba, that our decisions flow from a place of fellowship and knowing, rather than asking God for go or no go signs.
