AM I NEOPHOBIC?

Hello everyone!

Compliments of the season to you all. I am certainly sure that you all had wonderful time during the holidays; I did too. It was an all-rest and all-God holiday if you know what I mean..

I also deem it fit to apologize for the silence of many days, please find it in your beautiful mind to forgive me.

So to the gist of today, I resumed work at my new station last week. I have this phobia of going to new places. Reason is I do not get to know those places immediately until I visit the same place at least twice. Whew! You know, if I have my way, I would prefer not to go to new places alone; I would rather go with those who know the destination well.

I had left my previous work station to resume the new place. Getting the bus to convey me was a big challenge. After I found myself a bus, my eyes were widely opened(I find sleeping in the bus very interesting, lol!) so as not to sleep and go past my destination. I alighted from the bus shakily, not sure of where I was heading to. Amidst my confusion, I asked the next person for where I was headed, got the description and started the next journey.

I told the driver the street I was heading to, not knowing that it is a very long street. All my thought was I would alight at the gate gently. I didn't know that there were many routes to this same street. Instead of asking the driver for where I was or even telling him to drop me, I kept to myself and assured myself that the last thing that would happen is that the driver would drop me at the end of the street. You know, I had been to this new station sometimes last year, the only landmarks I pinpointed was the the way the roads were tarred, and the way the pedestrian walkway was built. I know you may be wondering why I didn't look out for my landmark; of course, I did, the road and landmarks just looked so alike.

The long and short of it all was the driver dropped me at another place very far from where I was suppose to be. When the driver parked, he gave me a questioning look that said "What are you still doing here Madam?" I pretended like I didn't understand the question and asked if we had gotten to where I was headed. Immediately, the guy knew I was a JJC(Johnny Just Come) Lol! He of course lambasted me, and I humbly took it in and drank water on it. In his good decision, He dropped me off at the beginning of the very long street I was headed. Then I started to trek from house 1, I was heading to house 148. No one advised me before I boarded another vehicle who dropped me where the previous driver turned into the street. Of course, I ran late and I overspent that particular day.

Stop fidgeting guys, confront your fears so that it won't cost you more than you've bargained for.

I am learning how to ask questions and confront my fears, don't be left behind.

Watch out for the gist I have for you tomorrow.

God bless you richly.

I am Busolami.

PLEASE ADVICE ME

Hello, Good afternoon to you. Trust you are fine. I'm sounding formal, right? Lol, don't mind me. Something happened in my office today. I've been out of mobile data for some days. A senior colleague here in the office volunteered to get lunch for us on his pocket. My Best Friend suggested that I declared that I was going monetize mine, but I was shy! By the time the Office Assistant returned with the meal and balance for everyone, it is the exact amount I need to buy my data. Now I'm thinking if anyone would buy the meal from me. It pays to listen and obey when the Holy Spirit talks mehn! Sighs. I wish I obeyed my Best Friend, He is the Holy Ghost. You know, there is this friend of mine, I'll call him Dez. I met Dez last year March. We started on a good note and became really close as a result. Honestly, from the start of the friendship, Dez made his intentions known to me. He pointed out that he wants a relationship that will lead to marriage. Of cou...

MOUTH ACCIDENT.

Hello everyone, trust you had a great night. I thank God for keeping us all through the night, He is worthy to be praised. Clears throat! So I went for a carol service in my mum's church yesterday, and trust me, I had a good time(lol). I felt at the time I joined the service that God planned it for me as a gift specially from Him to me,don't be jealous; ask for yours too. Earlier yesterday, my mum had sent me two songs to listen to and know word for word(musically, we call that scoring a song). Honestly guys, I didn't score the songs as I was supposed to. Reason was I had my hands full at my desk, what I did was just to listen to one of the songs so as to be able to sing along. I wasn't self aware that my mum was serious when she told me that I'd be a guest in her own church, and would be leading the two songs(oops!). Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours and finally, the awaited time came. We got to the Church about 30 minutes into the programme a...

SPINACH.

MY CHALLENGE WITH EWEDU! One of my grandmothers calls me "omo oniye n'po (The child that has so many mothers)," of a truth, my mothers are plenty which transcribes into having many grandmothers. So to the gist of today, I was at one of my grandmother's place yesterday to spend the night after work hours. I noticed that most times I see grandma, she always wants us to take amala and ewedu with stew(Yam flour and blended or mashed spinach) for dinner. For this reason, I always pray in my mind whenever I am going for Grandma not to suggest amala and ewedu with stew; of course, the prayers goes unanswered. I guess God wants me to take more of carbohydrates for such a time as this, lol! As a result, my mind made me think that having a food restaurant where I manage won't be a bad idea. Did I mention that I am the one who prepares the amala? Oh yes! I have a professional degree in cooking amala, and it was conferred on me by my mum; smiles. The first day I mad...
