The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me!

Everyone has a story……these are mine and God is still writing, hope mine brings hope and happiness to many. For many years I saw living as a disease but grace found me and now I call living “My Journey of Faith”

I grew up in Lagos, Nigeria in a Christian home, with my parents as strong believers in Christ, they thought me and my four siblings how to pray fervently and always to choose right from wrong. I had a wonderful childhood except for one thing that I have always known to be true since I was eleven years old, I had a part of me that no one knew about and I thought it was okay, though I knew it wasn’t normal, I was constantly afraid. I can clearly remember being changed from one secondary school [high school] to another four times in total because my parents thought it had to be the boarding schools but I knew it was the Fear of being away from home, that made me so unsettled.

In those days no one talked about Anxiety, so I spent pretty much half of my life living in an anxious state but not depressed, I tried constantly to pray my fears away and use scriptures to suppress my feelings but the thoughts and worries would always come back, it was just one worry after another, if you have been or currently are in this state you know it can be exhausting.

I am blessed with my childhood sweetheart, I met him at seventeen, we dated for six years and now married for fourteen years, we have three beautiful children. My husband has been my confidant and the one I tell all my scary and sometimes hilarious thoughts. Together we have prayed and found ways to deal with my Fears. As I mentioned, I will be sharing my stories and life experiences with you of how I discovered and received the Peace that passes all understanding and how I keep growing in Faith.
