Gratitude

Posted on by Cïey Dada 🎨

Hello, how de and how do you do 😁 Well my name is Grace but on the app I go down as Cïey. Unlike an odd number of other girls I do not , no no let me clarify and say I do not imagine and drool over :a dream car, dream house , dream wedding ;dress ;the venue and it’s whatnots but I got dreams just not singled out as above. Don’t get me wrong having dreams and chasing them is a beautiful venture in it’s own timing.

I am probably not the most affectionate person you’d come across yet I got a very huge heart && I am a genuine and compassionate lover.

Anyways today I’mma talk on gratitude 🎨. Given our android generation everyone is *entitled* to an opinion and beyond.

Our God values obedience a lot yes and so much so gratitude as well. Pets show their gratitude by rubbing off their owners , humans we : hug it out , shake hands whilst saying thank you (and the list of these gestures knows no bounds 🙃)

As for this individual {me} I show my gratitude by smiling whilst saying thank you for a good or bad gesture and I take note to pray for the person and my part in the gesture (s) . With the recent pending pandemic I started thanking God for my concerns and troubles more than I said thank you for my blessings because I now fully understood the phrase of there when and where our human understanding(s) and or knowledge comes to an end there that of our saviour takes over and in the end facing whatsoever challenge that came or comes my way had and had become lighter because the Lord who is my shepherd had been holding his hands steady under my feet and pacing and placing my walks and works .

Darlings remember it’s more blessed to show gratitude in times of terror for there and then your strength is built 🌱. Remember if you wanna go fast you go alone but if you wanna go far you run with others , so lemme know what’s on your mind about GRATITUDE because the aim of my blogging venture is for me to grow , for you to grow and for us to grow, grow and grow .

Comfort(er)/(able)

Posted on by Cïey Dada 🎨

Explore with me quickly and try to recall if you ever had to comfort someone about something you yourself are battling with. Like you gotta be strong when the exact same thing is killing you. I’m no genius no but I know exactly from a first hand experience how difficult that is. It’s easier said than done to get 101 odd things done in a world filled with uncertainties

The bible says that all things are vanity upon vanity because not even tomorrow is promised to anybody how much more than is getting out of a situation seemingly difficult.

Taking Covid into consideration it left so many worlds turned upside down. It destroyed so many spiritual strength, killed so many students mentally and left so much despair. In a world full of uncertainty nobody needs to be disturbed by the world’s problems again. People that appear strong are usually the ones life put through the most.

Quick testimony : I had to complete my high school years last year in the midst of the pandemic. The year started off so beautiful and hopeful but in the blink of an eye it all turned bleak and I didn’t know how I was to get through that year whilst academically fit again but then with time and baby steps it bettered for the better. But if you look carefully at it life humbled us and bettered us. We got to discover our strengths , weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Some of us with strong characters became bold , the bold became bolder , some weak became strong whilst some weak worsened.

So I say :right now we’re caught up in chaos. And you know what that is? The little particles that have no direction. Right now we need to pack them accordingly to form a solid foundation so that we continue to build our future and find clarity. So don’t stress about the people who bring no good to you or the environment you’re in. It’s either they rudely awaken and work together to find direction or we tell them “thank you for your time but you have time to sleep my buddy.” Start waking up because the world won’t offer you anything you don’t push for .” 🧚

Intimacy with Christ 🤞

Posted on by Cïey Dada 🎨

Hey , how de and how do you do. It’s Cïey Dada again with another hype named INTIMACY WITH CHRIST ❤️

Frankly speaking relationships are of vital importance be it friendship , blood relation, parent and offspring, employee with employer … and the list goes on and on but as I said in the first line of this bit already relationships are of vital importance and how we maintain it is of just as much importance. With various people and different relationships we transform into various characters that allows us to perform and participate at our very best in those relationships. If we can accommodate others and keep the relationship going especially if you feel it’s one sided then why not do the same and even more for Christ 🤷?

For all relationships started with our Father above then why not fight to have one for and with him. Don’t you think it’s quite unfair that you get from our father above all you ask for whenever you go asking for something but wouldn’t want to have an intimate relationship with your provider . Food for thought for a sec , consider if someone always knows they can rely on you whenever they in need of something and you always provide for them according to their requests and needs yet that is how far your relationship goes 🤔. Nobody wants to be an option to anyone else nor come second best as well yet we do that to Christ. It’s an obvious fact that Christ died for our sins even though it was well known to him that we would choose to go against him yet he still died for us and whilst being crucified he pleaded with his father in prayer to forgive us for we know not what we do yet we still choose to live in denial of our wrongs.

I ask for how long would you choose to live in denial that you using prayer just to put through a request and other than that you are no where close to prayer again. Don’t you recall that your actions have consequences. Don’t you know that the bible reads to not deny Jesus because if you do then in the presence of his father he will do the same 🌘.

Christianity is a relationship and not a religion and that’s why it’s of vital importance we build a relationship with Christ and an intimate relationship at that 👉👈 because life without Christ guarantees 101 ± insecurities and uncertainties on your own. Don’t get me wrong because life with Christ has challenges too but these challenges are different because you face them with Christ and the bible as a guide and in prayer God comforts you. Though Christ had died for our sins and we turn/ed our backs against him he still prays by God’s side that we be given another day on this earth day after day to repent because the fire of hell is as real as it’s said to be even though nobody can truly testify that they had experienced it yet but people who were graciously called of darkness have given an endless count as to how it’s so much better to live for Christ and slip in your sleep of death to eternity rather than live a life of great titles on earth to end up with the flames of hell as a reward .

Absolutely everyone and everybody’s life on this earth has a purpose and one of our primary purpose is to preach the gospel and have people know of God. Your testimony doesn’t have to be wow to be told it just has to have truth in it and glorify the kingdom of Christ in the end.

Everyone has a happy place if not a person where your insecurities do not amount to half the amount of happiness you get whenever you at that specific place or with that specific person at a correct time yet with Christ his words and promises are the most accurate forms of happiness I could ever speak of because the works of his hands always leave me amazed and my tears cannot be withheld not today , not tomorrow nor ever until I slip into my sleep of death into eternity but on those roads paved with gold, joy will be of multiplied pleasure.

That’s a first of my dose with Christ stick around for me so that together we can keep at the growth to grow , grow annnnnnnnnnnnnd grow 🧚.

Closure

Posted on by Cïey Dada 🎨

Hey ,how de and how do you do 😌💕.

Think with me for a sec quickly ,what is closure? Well according to the dictionary definition I came across it says closure is :the feeling that a difficult or an unpleasant experience had come to an end. But then again in my case I say not all situations deserve closure. If that situation had ever cost you your peace then I think “closure” is out of the question.

Quick story on a personal experience level with “closure” … So I dated my first and only boyfriend about 02 years 02/03 years back and it was not cool. I have a habit of of friend zoning males because I relate very well with them but then with Jessé it was totally different. I cannot remember when I supposedly *loved* him intimately or when I said “yes Jess I’d *date* you.

Jess and I started dating on 02 March, had out first *date* on 08 March and we didn’t meet again as partners afterwards. So Jess is 03years older than I am and he is all the way from the beautiful Eastern tribe of Nigeria , the Igbo tribe😍 and I looooooove that tribe , chai shout-out to my Igbo people y’all are breathtaking beautiful people.

Yes , yes back to Jess and I. So Jess and I met at my high school of that time on his visit to the school since he matriculated during my third year in high school and we communicated for about 05 months and more maybe before we *dated*

Fast forwarding things … On our first month anniversary his baby sister Amaka whom we call Ami sent me a text out of the blue reading we need to talk , I stared at that text again and again like thrice before I replied saying I’ll wait for her at the park station after school that day. So Ami and I met up and she said it. Jess had someone else in his life that his mom actually called *my daughter* meaning I had no space in the portrait . As obvious as it is Jess did not appreciate Ami telling me the truth and was sorry I got told , sorry he hurt me or sorry that things did not work out 🤷 … Now that I do not know. … It took me another 16/18 months before Jess and I saw each other face to face again and in all that time I wondered if if I went wrong somewhere, I didn’t ‘know’ him too well and or maybe he was the jinx 🤷

I haven’t given anyone else a chance since then because I’m settled with making myself happy for now 🥑✨ because when I finally saw Jess again and he explained his actions that ‘closure’ worsened instead of healing things

Well Jess and I kept in touch yet I purposefully ignore his texts and calls after I reply “I’m glad you doing well” because I’ve heard his girlfriend awaits for me to step on her toes and and she’ll come for me and all but I just hope they keep looking cute together in the long run 🙃.

Today I can proudly say that as much as I desire closure at times I’d rather wring the ears of my creator with me asking Him for closure in worship and prayer than asking from man🌤️ .

Me ? Intimate? Oh well with my creator yes … Intimacy with Christ ,hummn great title for another post on another day so stay tuned and lemme hear your ones and twos in the comments 🌟so that together we can keep at the growth to grow , grow and grow .
