HEART DIARIES WITH TOLU PART 1

-


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 pray that the spirit becomes more real to me than the physical and that God would trust me with his most treasured wishes to be accomplished by me. I love to dwell in the presence of God because I get pruned. I love his presence also because of the secrets he reveals, either through dreams or visions. I also love to speak in tongues a lot. I tongue walk most times. In summary, spirituality is my core and it would forever be.

  •  FAMILY (Includes friends and loved ones)

I am a family person. I would mostly do a lot of inconvenient things to please the people I love. I go the extra mile to ensure these guys are happy. Family is one of the best ways I get my soul moments. I love to gist with my siblings, cousins, and friends. My circle is small but goosh I love hem so dearly and I don’t joke with them. They are my covering clothes. I pick most of my habits from them, so I’m very careful who I have in the circle because of the influence they would have on me.

Family is one of the best ways to keep me indoor. Ones I have my best folks around, forget seeing me outside. You won’t even see my brake light ...lol. They give me the outside energy that I need. I can be with them and not be bored.

  •  IMPACT

This is another value of mine I’m really passionate about. And it is not about who I think I am but who people see me as. Just like Jesus asked His disciple, who do people say I am? He knew who He was but He needs to know who the really thinks He is. The impact is not single-sided. In fact, it’s more on the other side than your side. This is one thing that can also take my time. I remember growing up, I would invite the young children in my neighborhood to teach them about what I know. I started a movement in school called THE REAL YOU… awakening the giant within the 21st-century woman. I have volunteered continuously just for me to impact my world. I remember during NYSC too, I would visit secondary schools and get permission from their principals to talk to their young girls. I love to see my immediate environment do better . Having Impact as one of my topmost values helps me acquire knowledge because you can’t give what you don’t have.

The heart series is just a means for you to get to know me better. If there would be any question you would love to ask me. Don’t hesitate to send me an email at otoluwalopemi@gmail.com or send them to me in the comment section. I would be waiting to read from you.

 

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME.

I’m not a food person, I love good foods, I love to cook. I don’t have a favorite meal, but I love rice, anything rice. And yes, I love Ice cream, Chocolate ice-cream (or chocolate flavor) and chocolate cake. These two make my heart go merry... lol...

Till I write to you again.

Remain valuable and impactful

Don’t forget to like, comment, and share.

All my love

Tolulope.

...HE LEFT ME...

He left me… yeah, you heard right, do I wish he never left? Yes, every time. He left me not because he didn’t love me enough, in fact, he loved me sincerely. He left me because he had no choice himself, I’m sure he fought hard to stay but then he had to surrender, he had to move to a better place called eternity. I’m just left with sweet memories of how he loved and how he cracks me up with his teases and handsome smiles with beautiful dimples. Gooosh …. I miss him so much. I met him sometimes around 2012, he was the best friend to my boyfriend at that time. He was really handsome, he had one of the brightest smiles and dimples I've seen. I saw the realness in his friendship with his friend, I saw his desire and hunger to succeed in life, I could perceive his quest for purity each time we have sincere conversations, he was super friendly with me, maybe because I was his friend's babe, but he always gave me attention and he would whine me a lot till I tear up from laughing s

GOD CAN BE TRUSTED!!!

  Hello fam, I know it's been like forever but I just needed to put this out here, I can't keep it to myself.  I know I've written something similar to this before, but this experience is different. I've tried to give it another title but no other title can do justice other than God can be Trusted.  Sometimes in 2020, when I felt led to resign my job to start Adire(I've shared the story on my blog) I didn't argue but I wasn't so sure how it was all going to turn out but I trusted the voice I heard, some months after, I had my afternoon nap which is so unlike me, I woke up and I heard in this season call me ADUNBARIN (God is sweet to walk with). I held unto that name like I knew no other name, I used it to pray, used it on my status, it soon became my mantra.  Months after I got ADUNBARIN, things became very tough, I was broke, I didn't know how to go about the Adire Business, I had never done it before, didn't know whether to go into casuals, fabrics

I GOT PROPOSED TO ; AND I SAID YES

  Fam, aren't you all amazing? Thank you for all the love, feedbacks and comments on my previous post, I was really elated to read from you all. Thank you for your support and love, it is the fuel that keeps me going. My proposal came not as a surprise, at the same time it was not something I prepared for. I knew something was coming but I couldn't place it, I knew something would hit me that would change my life and cause a rapid shift to my becoming, but I didn't know how or when. In my last post, I mentioned how I started the year clueless without having an idea about how the year would unfold, I was just sure I had God and I knew He would definitely order my steps, I was certain I can't miss it anymore at this phase of my life. So, after I said my goodbyes, I knew it was time for me to embrace the new me knocking at the door of my becoming. I knew I was to accept the invitation, but I also felt I needed certain level of preparation to accept the invitation. One fate
