I FINALLY SAID GOODBYE

-



Goodbyes are always hard, especially if it's something we love or someone we are used to. But sometimes it's the beginning of a new journey.

I started January very blank, didn't know what to do or what to expect. I didn't have any goal, no expectation whatsoever. The only thing I was sure I had was God, family and friends. I didn't know how I was going to navigate through the year, I didn't know what to pray about or even prepare for. I was sincerely clueless but I had an open heart and I was sensitive to hear what the Spirit was telling me. I didn't even have prayer point to pray, I remember me telling God to put other people's burden in my heart so I could pray for them... Lol..

As the year unfolds, I was expectant, I knew I had baggages to drop, my business wasn't going as I expected, I had bills piling up, funds were not coming from no where, I knew something has to change but I didn't know what exactly. Then sometimes in February, I started to feel an unease like something was about to shift. I stayed sensitive, I began to yield to some of these things.

The first thing I did was to release myself to exposure, I dropped all I was doing at that time and decided to be discipled by my mentor. I observed, went to places I've never been, attended meetings I wasn't invited to, started to watch keenly, volunteered and I saw how my mind began to open but I realized that, it was just a part of my mind that was ready to embrace the whole change that I saw was good for me.

The exposure continued till June and I realized that there needed to be an alignment between my thoughts, prayers expectations, imaginations and my mind. I can't be praying and imagining contracts when I don't have a registered business or a business account. I can't be praying for a new home, when I haven't started to search for a house. I can't want to tour nations and not have an international passport. So I began to align my heart, mind, body and soul.

I made up my mind to say goodbye to my old limiting self, I embraced the new journey of growth. I wrote a sincere letter to myself and I closed down that chapter of my life. I'm ready for the new me. I've always being afraid to get dirty with my hands and go extra mile, I made up my mind to seek help by speaking Up and I realized that everything we need is right beside us. I'm so amazed at the resource and help I've received just from saying good byes.

I'm so excited about the new me, I still have somethings I'm laid back on but it's better, I'm no longer rigid.. I'm so excited about this new journey. I would gist you about the updates. I wrote this to also stay accountable.

Your story may not be like mine, but there's always a new you always ready to emerge, be ready to say good byes and receive help. The help you need is not far fetched. Infact, when the student is ready, the teacher would appear.

Trust this blessed you? Don't forget to comment and share.

All  my love,

Tolulope

    What resonates with me from this piece is that we need to take steps in alignment with our goals/dreams. If we keep holding on to the old, then we will never be ready for the new.
    The familiar needs to be jettisoned if we are to conquer new territories. In fact, that's the whole concept of faith: to act as though we already have what we hope for.

...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

  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
