It has been almost three years since I wrote on here, and I feel like I am learning to ride a bicycle, and that’s odd because I cannot even ride a bicycle. I know! I know!! How come? That’s another story to be told another time.

I tried to look back at December 29, 2021, to reflect on where I was in life and what was taking my attention, and I remember. I remember I had just been called to the Bar in August 2021 and was aggressively job-hunting. In fact, on December 29, 2021, I was reeling in the joy of accepting a job offer with a start date in January 2022. I was ecstatic to say the least. Job-hunting is not fun, but job-hunting after the pandemic has become a Herculean task, and I was glad that job-hunting phase was over… Well, so I thought!

It so turned out that I had that job for only a month. By mid-February 2022, I was unemployed again. I think the kicker for me was that a few days before I became unemployed, I joined the Halleluyah Challenge hosted by Pst. Nathaniel Bassey and he had released a prophetic word on people getting promoted and you can believe that my Amen broke the gates of brass and cut the bars in sunder.

Can someone tell me why I was unemployed a few days after engaging the promotion prophetic word? I was out of it. I don’t think I was even disappointed. I was numb – I felt nothing. My state of mind was ‘Here we go again!’, ‘Can I just catch a break for once?’. But I should have known better that – God’s ways are higher than mine, and if He said it was time for a promotion, He meant it. God cannot tease me with a lie. What am I saying? God cannot lie, it is not in His nature to.

In hindsight, I was being ushered into a promotion, but physically – with the eyes of the flesh, it felt like I was thrown to the back of the line. By May 2022, I was employed permanently – at a place where I had applied to before the January 2022 job. I got impatient with waiting to hear back from them, so I petitioned Heaven to move on with me, since God was moving too slowly for my liking with the May 2022 job, and I only had the Ishmael for a month.

In The Middle – this title was purposed to provide a bridge from my last post in 2021 to today’s post, and if I am being honest, a lot has happened in the middle. A post cannot capture every tear, joy, laughter, pain, triumph and being that the last three years have borne, but I am back to taking up my position on here as God has asked me to again and again.

So what should you expect? You should expect to read from me once a month [for now]. You should expect a deeper level of authenticity and vulnerability. Has the vision changed? Not at this time. Have I changed? Yes, I have. I have evolved with and in God. I have cowered and been bold. I have been silent and spoken up. I have given up and pushed through. I have fallen and gotten up. I have cried and laughed. I have feared the worst and had faith. I have evolved a lot and I pray that the light of the work of Christ in me is reflected in the penning down of the words you will read from me. The goal still remains to reflect the heart of Abba to you through my words.

So, I welcome you to this new dispensation [and the Nigerians on the web chuckle]. It is my desire that we make room for what God is about to do with Precious Thoughts, and I should also let you know that I started another expression called #ScriptInMyHead. #ScriptInMyHead is another outlet where I create scripts that mirror the essence of different scriptures in a relatable manner. You should follow @scriptinmyhead on Instagram to enjoy what God is doing with that platform too.

Until I write to you again in a month, I pray that the peace of God will be your umpire, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I would love to read about your ‘In the Middle‘ story – what’s one life-changing experience that has influenced your relationship with God?

Love and Light,

Princess!
