My Thoughts. My Faith. My Stand.



Many have denounced their faith, many have reshuffled and 'slim-fitted' some of the core values of Christianity to fit their preferences. Many are operating on the 'my faith, my way' pedestal.
Some say it is important to be exposed, 'get some education!' they say, and 'oh! going to church has become a religious activity I can no longer stomach abeg. Is it compulsory?'

The focus has shifted from genuine faith in God and its accompanying impact to the faults in some of the vessels that propagate the message.
The association of 'Assistant Accusers Of The Brethren' is growing remarkably and their 'fault finding ministry' is expanding daily; Nit-picking all those popular and rich pastors is the new cool.

I am just thinking out loud, grateful that I am still standing.
By God's grace....'No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
'
Amen.
The conclusion: Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14.

  I’m not really keen on the nitty-gritty of storytelling or creative writing, so I’m pouring this straight from the heart onto these pages. A Rough Start to the Year 13-01-2025. My life as I knew it changed forever. It was a rough start to the year, as my very dearly beloved Daddy passed on. I had wanted to put my feelings—my hurt, grief, and confusion—into writing for a while now. But I was filled with dread and, might I add, a sense of cowardice. Everything felt like a dream. For the past three months, I’ve daily wished it was just that—a dream. In my head, writing this would jinx it. It would confirm that it’s not a dream at all. And that would mean it’s real. That my perfect gentleman is really… gone? I wasn’t ready. Am I now? Maybe I'm expecting some kind of cathartic effect by doing this. I’m not sure. But here I am. I’ve written bits and pieces about my parents before, so I’m kind of glad this isn’t the first time I’m singing my Dad’s praises. It’s not just because he’s p...

  “It’s not really my thing.” This was my response to my husband, who, for the second time that week, was nudging me to consider joining the league of lifestyle vloggers/bloggers. “You can do it now,” he encouraged me. But I have since learned that having the ability to do something doesn’t always translate to the desire to actually execute it. I said it wasn’t my thing because that path requires being comfortable with a tell-it-all approach to personal storytelling. I’m not exactly a private person, but at the same time, I tend to worry that starting something like “Keeping Up with Buki” vlogging or blogging would leave people saying: Cue track 1—Title: “Who Asked?” Artist: Nobody ft. It’s None of Our Business. Lol. However, I’m making an exception here. I don’t know why, but I just feel like sharing what life has been like over the last 12 to 14 months to commemorate my second son’s birthday.
