(This post has been revised) While musing on a discussion I had with one of my readers today, I remembered my past, and how hard it was to hear and obey God in the midst of my own strong desire and passions. I wanted to please God, but […]
I knew it would happen. I saw the signs. We haven’t been happy for a long time. In fact, I can’t remember when we were. We don’t talk like friends. We don’t laugh or play. We hardly spend time together at all. It’s either you’re busy working or […]
I recently concluded a two-volume fictional series called An Emotional Affair, to illustrate how easy it is for such a stronghold to take captive a marriage. It was also to illustrate that God is able and willing to deliver us all, and that we must be as gracious […]
A while back, someone asked me this question, while reading one of my story series. I said I would probably respond via my Reader Questions series…and I feel it’s high time I oblige. It’s not an easy question to answer. It is very exposing, and it is also […]
My answer to this interesting question from a reader was short and sweet. But maybe you might have more insight to share. I think she would love the encouragement, and maybe other ladies facing the same challenge. “Good evening ma. you are doing a great job. more grace. […]
I have modified this Reader’s account, because it was very detailed, but her main points are still captured. Dear Ufuomaee I am a 28yr old a graduate waiting for service,i mean Nysc. A single mum bt still living with my parent due to their love for me nd […]
“Dear Ufuomaee, I need your advice on this issue ma. Last year my husband made a mistake and got a lady pregnant, he begged me and promise to quit the relationship as soon as the lady born the baby, which I agree. But the lady has born the baby […]
What follows is a transcript of a private chat I had with a hurting woman, who approached me for counsel on her marital problems. The issues were so diverse, that I couldn’t select the particular one to focus on for today’s Reader Questions, so I copied the correspondence, […]
This question was asked in a group I manage on WhatsApp. It doesn’t relate to any particular post I have written, but I believe the lessons and answer I gave are important to share. It was posed: This issue keeps bothering through my mind pls i need your […]
My womb doth cry and cry… For the thing that delighteth it so, It did not receive. In the days past, It hath gathereth and prepareth A place so inviting and intimate, Where it may conceive and nurture The seed of a man… But alas, the month has […]
I loved you the moment I knew you were coming. Even before the doctors confirmed your existence, I knew you were conceived. I was expectant of you, hopeful for the joy you would bring… But I was also anxious. I was afraid to dream…to believe that my hope […]
I am just realising how unthinking, inconsiderate and clueless most people are when it comes to babies. So many think that it’s not only okay to reach out and touch a new born, but that it is wanted and good manners! Well, if you ASK first, and WASH […]
I am soooo, soooo fed up with people…even strangers, asking me when I’m going to have my second baby! And I am seriously pissed off whenever family and friends TELL me that I must have another baby, because one is not enough and blah, blah, blah… With all […]
What is the perfect life? I believe it is different for every single person, but the media tries to get us all to want the same things… We are socialized to have certain expectations from life, and follow a specific pathway to happiness. We all know the pathway. […]
Some of you who follow my blog know by now how I struggle with juggling too many things. I struggle with time, and allocating appropriate amounts of time to the things I value and have responsibility over. One of those things is parenting. It may be surprising or […]
