On trusting God

Hey thereee… Tell me, how have you been?? How’s life been treating you? (In the comments section).


So, sometime ago, I wrote on my phase with trusting God and battling Ovarian Cyst. If you haven’t read it, you can read it here.

I’m here again o, with another of my trusting God saga, because it never seems to end. If I didn’t know better, I’d have said God is trying to use my life to ‘play kite’, but omo… Ion mind putting my eggs in the same basket o, as long as it’s God.

So, last year, I got a mail from Tonye and all I could do was cry coz I felt like God was stuffing His will down my throat. I mean… I love the taste and feel of the choking, but ahah… He shu be calming down na😩

The Gist!

I love to teach, no doubts… But I never experred to teach for NYSC. I wanted to be in a media and communications company.

For the money? Not necessarily. I just wanted the experience, please. I needed it to develop my craft in the media and communications sphere. Naso dem put me for school o. I mean… It’s not bad (thinking of the offer and all) but I just didn’t want it. I preferred a communications company without pay to a school with pay.

So, I began to TRY to work my reposting and all of that. I reached out to companies who promised to get back to me and I was called by one of them, unless I got there and they said they don’t take corp members and interns. ‘So, why did you ask me to come, bro?’I prepared to return to Oyo state, and on getting to Ibadan, I received a call for interview from another company, which was to hold the next day.

‘Ahhhh… Wo, all of you people should just get out of my sight.’ All this while, I’m sure God was looking down on me trying to tilt my head forward, but I just wanted to wander on my own, and he was just there in his heaven and on his throne looking at me, saying ‘When you’re done, come back here’.

I tried all I could to no avail and at some point, I just surrendered. I was tired of praying for God’s will (that was already staring me in the face but I couldn’t see coz I wanted MY WILL that I thought should be God’s will). I was tired of crying and looking like my village people were at work in my life. I became still and then, Tonye sent her mail. 👇🏾

At once, I began to cry and remember when the prayer director at NCCF asked me if I ever pray for God’s will. I sincerely told him that most times, I don’t, but I find myself walking right into his will, because I have surrended my all to him.

Later, I called the proprietress of the school I was posted to, told her I’ll be resuming and all and I felt peace. My heavy heart felt light again and that was it. So, there was CORPER TEETO, who was also a TEACHER. 😂

The day after, a media outlet called me for an online interview and while I didn’t expect that I won’t be asked any professional questions, I was hired on the spot, for a remote job with a good pay.When I asked the CEO of the company how he got to know about me, he said he saw my blog somewhere and thought he wanted to work with me.

God has a plausible sense of humor. Oh boy, he does!Just to show me that his ways are higher than mine, he blocked access to media outlets and after I surrendered, he opened the door.

He wanted to re-explain SERVICE to me and the reason I was contacted for the job lies in MY SERVICE on this blog that he has put in my hands. Isn’t that amazing? Isn’t GOD amazing?

I don’t need to say nothing more. You already know where I’m headed

SURRENDER TO GOD! REST IN HIS WILL!

See ehn… You can’t do life all by yourself, it’s going to be frustrating and miserable because God is supposed to be the GEE in your RACE and that’s why you’ll enjoy GRACE, but if you try to find a solution all by yourself, putting your hand in God’s pot of soup because you feel you’re better than what you’re getting, so what you’re getting cannot be GOD’S WILL… You’ll do yourself pa. Sho gbo?

So, put your life in God’s hands and walk away from it totally. Allow him. Dasol!

Well… That’s all I have to tell you today.
