Image
Hello family, You all are family to me now. I always feel happy, blessed and obligated writing to you, so I ensure I give you the best of myself. I want to start a series called heart diaries with Tolu. Here I get to express myself, share my intimate personal journey with you, and bring you into my space. Today I want to share with you my topmost values in life. Values are beliefs that we hold unto dearly that sharpens our life and affects our daily actions. I would share my 3 topmost values. SPIRITUALITY. This is like my core. If you are looking to get my personal attention and energy, just involve me in conversations about God or any “God” vibe. I’m always in. I also ensure I drive most of my conversations towards God. I love Him so much; I am an addict worshipper. One of the best ways to see my crying is when I’m in a place of worship. Just saying thank you Jesus gets me teary. I get teary easily when in His presence. My uttermost prayer is to live like Jesus lived. I pr

ACCEPTANCE SYNDROME

Acceptance Syndrome is the characteristics that an individual exhibits to be accepted. These are traits that a person has to ensure he/she is validated and accepted. We all love acceptance. Everyone loves the feeling of validation. No one wants to be alone and do life alone. We all want people’s attention. We all are attention seeker, our craving for acceptance and attention just differs from person to person. I got into the university with the confidence that I am a brilliant girl and in fact one of the top 3 graduating students in my days in high school. I thought life in High school was the same as university life. I wrote my first exams with the assurance that I would have all As especially because of the way I prepared and the people that I read with. In fact, I had finished my syllabus a month before the exams commenced. By the time the result was out, hmmm… guess my grades? I had a GPA of 1.71 with two carryovers.

I am the second child of four. growing up, I visited the hospital more than any of my siblings, I took the most injections. I became so used to injections that they no longer need to hold me. I just stay still and allow the nurse to perform her duties. I became the doctors’ friend because of how I frequently visited the hospital. Each time he sees me, he says to me, my friend, you are here again…lol… THE BEGINING I just had different ailments per time, sometimes it was malaria, another time it was typhoid, another time my PCV was low, another time it was a skin reaction that requires that I take injections for close to 21days.

MY TESTIMONY I would like to share a particular testimony with you, my friends, this one blew my mind in a way because it was completely obvious that it was beyond my effort. Sometimes in 2019, I think November precisely, I knew in my spirit that there was something big coming my way, I know that the father was setting me up for something big. I didn’t know how, but I took a posture to receive and I became hungry for the more. I stepped into January, hmmm… guys, everything changed, even I didn’t understand. (Gist for another day). I started receiving strange instructions and visions. Instructions like God telling me to wake up at a particular hour to pray and declare the word. The Sunday after, my spiritual mother set up a small group in church and in a way, made me like
