FIRST TIME

First timers...

There's always a first time for everything and for everyone; it is such a phenomenal thing in one's life to the extent that it marks the beginning of many things that will probably have no end; some are life changing others nerve wrecking, some are a change in lifestyle or even an adjustment to the norm...whatever it is there's always a first time!
The first time you smiled, laughed or cried you probably cannot remember or the first time you ate…lol. Your parents or guardians will remember when you took your first steps, your first word and your first favorite food before it became shawarma…lol, and they will remember most of your firsts.
Our first times can be very exhilarating or even overwhelming, like my first time of posting on the blog…it was such a big deal; going over and over my lines, the format, the content etc but I got through it and I’m better at it a few posts down the line. Some of the things I did that helped me through the process were:
-        Pray about it. I had to be sure that I needed to take that step, make that change.
-        I thought it through, weighing all the different sides to it. (Meditate and search scriptures)
-        I asked questions…lots of questions
-        Took the first step…
-        Learn all the way…no regrets!

Change should not be a difficult time in our lives as we have the ‘unchanging changer’ always with us. He said he will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5, 1 Chronicles 28:20); He is steadfast so we can lean on him through the changing times of our lives and you should be rest assured that God is on your side. They say change is constant right…guess who is with you right through the process of change – GOD! So speak with him through prayers and He’ll speak to your heart as you pray and meditate on his word.
Asking questions helps with clarity, clearing uncertainties but you must be sure that the people you are asking have like faith with you! Don’t ask a Spartan to teach you how to make the Nigerian egusi soup, ask a Nigerian and make sure it’s a Nigerian that knows how to cook it!
Take the first step…just move! As long as you have settled with Baba God that it is okay to go, just go! As you are on your way, He’ll continually lead you in the right path Genesis 24:27. Even when you fall, He’ll pick you up and put you right on track don’t regret anything…you’re led by God himself!
Anyways, we (believers) are like our father God and the Bible tells us that he is the First and the Last (Isaiah 41:4, 44:6, Revelations 22:13). God also had first times; when he created the earth, when he created man, when he issued out the 10 commandments, the first time that he died…which will actually be the last! So trust him, even with the most intimate steps you want to take He will see you through it. Don’t be afraid but believe that God loves you and with Him on your side, everything is alright! (1 John 4:16 – 19)

What was/is your most amazing #firsttime? The one you were so eager to make that you even wouldn’t wait for the day to dawn. What was your most hesitant first time? The one that all your human senses said NO to but only the nudge in your heart gave you the green light. What was your most annoying first time? Lol…this one is the type that is obvious to you but you are reluctant to make it. There are so many and I would like to hear your first time stories too as amazing or annoying as they may seem, comment below or send us an email on iamachurchgirl@gmail.com
Have an exciting day and be nice to somebody.
Cheers!

NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT

Are there are times when you start to think about your life, about how far you have come but not really making a head way, who you started your journey with and how far they have gone and how you have not gone that far? "Chai...what kind of suffer suffer life is this?"  "How can this even be possible? Can you imagine? We graduated together oh, 1st class sef and she's working with a multinational company, married to an amazing man with 2 well spaced kids and in all that time I can't even find me a man to call my own.'  "Why is it that I can't get a job? Am I that much of an olodo (dunce)? Every interview they will say they will get back to me but I'll never hear from them again, how will i get the experience? Is it not when i actually work? Abeg I don tire to dey try and even when I decided to follow my heart and I started doing my craft, it was as if they have banned the purchase of my products. What kind of thing is this...God what is happen...

HAPPY 2020

Hey Y'all, So my daughter had a meltdown yesterday! Her insides were literally melting and running out through the entry and exit points and I was stunned by how fast her strength was deteriorating, her movements were becoming slow and how my bubbly, smiling, in-charge ‘Jesus-toddler’ was changing - and for not so good – right before my eyes. I was quiet. I watched. I held her and I rocked her back and forth and watched as at intervals her body rumbled and rejected the very things that give it vitality and strength. I was quiet! I was listening, listening for my heart but while at this, my deceiving ex was whispering, coaxing and even shouting at me, telling me the things that were wrong with my child but I was quiet and I listened. Then I heard it! I heard it over and over again by the friendly familiar voice and He said “STAND BY YOUR SACRIFICE…” At that point I knew we were under attack and I was being instructed by our Captain how to...

BE ENCOURAGED!

It's absolutely amazing to know that all you ever hoped to be, do or have is already in you. it's true and that's as plain as it gets..."Christ in me the hope of glory..." Sometimes we feel like we need to study more, acquire more knowledge and insight to prepare and equip us for what God has put in our hearts to do but guess what, all that 'equipment', resource, skill, talent, flair, gift that we need is already in us and what we need to do is STEP OUT!! Step out in faith on God's instruction on what he wants you to do. Don't wait to have an exclusive one on one interview with @tarafeladurotoye or @moabudu or any of your own mentors/role models to understand how they became who they are before you step out. Those opportunities are priceless and I advise that you jump at an exclusive chat with any of your mentors but don't seat on your bum and just wait! You'll be waiting for a long time but once you step out, I guarantee you that yo...
