Hi lovelies!! Happy New Month. It's our month of PRODUCTIVITY at Father of Light Ministries so yes #iamproductive

Initially, I was going to title this post, 'Mid-Night Ramblings' and then I noticed that it was my 100th post and ta-da, here we are.
Not so much has been going on with me lately. 

Yesterday was the first day of clinical practice but I didn't go. (shh! don't tell my dad) I'm just not in it at the moment, waking up in the morning is difficult enough. I'll go today tho.

I've been really lazy when it comes to writing poems. I just seem to be losing touch with my creative side.
My excuse has been,
It's not like being a waiter is a bad thing in itself but well, I call myself a 'writer'. So, let's see how many pieces of art I can create this July.

One of the many things that have been giving me joy is my hurrrrr. Yassss! I am obsessed with it and all. I may have commitment issues with a lot of things but not my hair. I mean, I am so dedicated to it. If I were that dedicated to my life. smh! vain human! jk!!
Honestly, though, I love the growth, fullness and weirdly enough I love the shrinkage.

One thing that has been on my mind is getting back to making YouTube videos. Writing makes me happy but I am my happiest when I'm making a video. I am camera shy though but just seeing myself create something that inspires or motivates someone or even just make someone smile, makes me excited.
That said, keep your eyes open, I will see how I make YouTube work.

Lastly, if there are topics you want me to write about or make a video about, be sure to leave them in the comment section.

Raise your hand if you ever put stuff, preferably a pillow, under your blouse, dress, etc, to pretend like you're pregnant. Okay, yeah, all the ladies, put your hands down. Haha

If you know me, then you know that I am obsessed with babies. I am definitely looking forward to the journey of raising my babies. Now everyone knows that before the babies comes the bump or, wait, you get me, huh!

I follow this page BABYOLOGY and one of their posts was about two friends who had different sizes of baby bumps.

Everyone's bump is different, some may be huge and others a little smaller but the fact that our bump sizes are different doesn't change the fact that we are pregnant.

Sometimes what we do to ourselves is go around and compare our bump sizes and because you're not as big as someone else we beat ourselves up. 
We compare our lives, the rate at which we grow, develop, bloom, with everyone else.


No dear, we are all pregnant, our babies are growing. Just nurture and groom it and enjoy every bit of the growing process.

Your bump is beautiful, big or small.

What's up lovelies!!!!
It's finally summer break.
Exams are finally over!!! I can finally sleep. Yes sleep is all that matters as far as my summer break is concerned. lol.



Asides sleeping, summer is a time where you can invest in yourself, develop your skills, learn a new skill and overall be a better version of yourself.

This however can be difficult since there is nobody pushing you around and really no incentive,
It takes a lot of planning and discipline to get the best out of it.




For me, I'd be reading a couple of books and I'm starting with Steven Furtick's 'UNQUALIFIED' and then Sarah Jakes Robert's 'LOST and FOUND'. They are both favourite speakers of  mine and I hope to both enjoy and learn as I read their books.

What are you doing to bring out the best version of yourself?
Have a wonderful summer break!!

p.s Guess who got a makeover? :D What do you think?

Growing up I didn't watch a lot TV. However, seeing kids about my age on TV was a very huge motivation for me. There was this kids group that I loved, to that little me, their songs were 'badass'. They were #goals.

At the begininng of the year, I decided that I wouldn't allow the enemy steal my joy. It started off quite easy, based on all the hype but after a while it became a tad difficult.
One thing that has kept me going is my dependence on God.
The joy that the Holy Spirit gives is indeed overwhelming. His peace is beyond comprehension.

I'm surprised at how fast time is flying, just like that we are in June. God has being faithful and I am sure that He will remain faithful to His word.

One word that has held me up is Jesus' words to His disciples. "..in this world you will have many tribulations but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world"

In JUNE, no matter what comes your way, BE OF GOOD CHEER.
Lemme take this minute and preach,
'Come on now, touch you neighbour and say, 'Neighbour! Be of good cheer'.
Tell three people next to you, 'Be of good cheer!!!'.
The truth is that trials will come, people will step on your toes, life will hit you hard, mess you up and things may not go as you plan but you've got to cheer up.


Now, you may ask me, 'why should I be of good cheer when life is hitting me hard?' Jesus already said that He has overcome the world. When you come to realization that the ONE living on your inside has already overcome the world, when you begin to see how much more than a conqueror you are, your perspective changes. You cheer isn't determined what going on around but from within you, from the conqueror on your inside.

Stuff may happen but we know that ALL things work together for the good of they that LOVE the LORD.

Since we are still on the growth series, one way to grow is to not just depend on your ability and your strength because they can wane but to depend on He who is stronger, the overcomer!

Have a CHEERFUL June!!
It's Kaydo

I just got back from 'Cell Meeting' and I'm feeling really pumped.

After attending a one year old's birthday party and singing a ton of Sunday school songs, I now have a playlist of 'children's' songs playing in my head. I kept thinking of the 'perfect' introduction for this week's piece but all I got was a Sunday school song.

Read your Bible, pray everyday
Pray everyday, pray everyday
Read your Bible, pray everyday
If you want to grow.

I probably stayed too long in Children's church. Haha
Well, since we are treating the theme GROWTH, I decided to write on growing spiritually first. 'Growing spiritually' kinda sounds weird in my ears, I prefer to refer to it as growing in your relationship with God.

Firstly, if we are going to talk about growing a relationship with God, it only means that you have a one with Him. Just in the case that you don't have one, you can start one, better put, you can respond to His request. (that just sounds cheesy).
The christian walk, is one that is based on relationship with God.

Sometimes, as Christians we make it look vague, abstract, like God is just some guy in a far away land, the 'guy' upstairs, but the truth is that He is right next to you, His Spirit is within you.
Growing a relationship with God is just like growing a relationship with anyone else.

One of the basic truths about growing a relationship is that you have to be INTENTIONAL about it. It takes your conscious effort, your dedication to make the relationship work.

Your being intentional about this relationship is what moves you to devote time to the study of the word and prayer.
Understand that studying the word gives you insight into who God is, you see His character, His ways, His power. It also begins to reveal to you who you are, who you can be and then a transformation begins from your inside out, there's the renewing of your mind and a metamorphosis into the person, God designed you to be.

Prayer is simply communication with God. God isn't just interested in the big things that concern you, He is also interested in the seemingly small details of your life.
Some people have the idea that prayer is just you saying a truck load of words to God but that isn't entirely true. It also involves the act of staying still and listening to Him. He doesn't just want to hear you speak, He wants to speak to you too.

I have come to learn that prayer isn't something that should be reserved for a specific time; maybe just when you wake up. It is a conversation with God that should be kept all day long. Living with the consciousness of God's presence leads to our constant conversation with Him.
Do not be deceived and think, oh no, God will only speak to my Pastor, He will speak to you too. All you have to do is listen for His voice.

The christian life is one that is of faith. It is by faith that we receive salvation and it is by faith that we live. Every step that you take should be one that should be guarded and strengthened by faith.
"..for without faith, it is impossible to please God.."

God loves you and He desires that you grow deeper in the revelation of who He is. He is not far fetched, He is waiting on you to take that step and walk close to Him.

Growing, we do it everyday,

There are moments in my life that I'll love to live in forever. Periods that I'll love to freeze and float in, people that I definitely want to hang on to, I mean, probably in just a certain time frame.
The smoochy feeling of temporary happiness and the overflowing satisfaction of serotonin flooding my veins and arteries giving me 'high' and laughter; I'll probably want to live in those moments forever.

BUT

If I stay there forever, I'll never see what tomorrow holds or feel the happiness that tomorrow brings. The 'high' I felt yesterday would be the highest 'high', I'll ever feel. And though, the future beckons me that there's more 'high' to be achieved, I'll never believe them because, I'll be stuck in a 'high' that is stale.

She can be loving and all smiley (wait how do you spell smile-ly), huge snob, friendly, talkative, quiet, weird, collected, depending on where you know her from, how you met her, when you met with her and ummmm 'other' factors.

Lately, I was beginning to think that I was getting a hang of who she was but well, not really. The other day she went all motivational on me and she began to show me things, whisper thoughts, create pictures and draw images of things we could accomplish.

Next, she came off with her, lets-do-nothing ideas and the lets-just-lie-in-bed is a huge classic of mine.
Well, the one that has become hugely accepted of late is the lets-just-stare-at-the-computer-all-day. Dang! That one is a killer. I mean, it just wraps its fingers around you and really don't have to do anything much to keep going. All you need is a warm blanket, a continuous supply of food and drink and trust me you are good to go.

She is me and I am her but sometimes she does not know her.
Dear Lord! What am I saying?
She and her are mixed as one to create the perfect me. And, though she's both fun and not, and her time is 'perfectly' managed, she and her make a great team.

Honestly, she can be a little confusing sometimes and I'm still trying to get her to introduce herself to me.
I like to believe that I'm  pretty much not alone in this and just in case, you've got 'someone' like her that you're still trying to grasp, I wish you success in your journey.

Discover you and all of your faces.

Don't forget '..today belongs to YOU'

Growth is undeniably an important aspect of life. The truth is that once a living thing stops growing, chances are that it begins to die.
Physical growth may seem normal, and like the usual thing to happen but we have come to learn that a couple of things influence physical growth. Because physical growth is one that is very obvious, we tend to pay quite a lot of attention to our bodies and when we discover that we are not growing at the 'normal' rate, we often step in, try to find the cause and provide a solution.

Our minds are a part of us that is quite easy to ignore. Because we live in a society that tends to place a lot of attention on how you look on the outside rather than what is one your inside, we often take more time in caring for our bodies than in developing our minds.

I like to think of the mind like the computer, it can be programmed, deprogrammed, and it eventually gives out what you have put into it.
To see the reflection of your physical body, you look into a mirror. To the reflection of your mind, you listen to your SPEECH; not just what you say but how you say it. The words you speak and the way you relate them to people is a reflection of what you have been feeding your mind and how you have programmed it to respond.



As much as the mind is grown and developed VERY consciously, there are a number of SUBconscious factors that influence the mind.
