Living my best life

"Give me husband or I die" I said to my mother as I placed the bottle of otapiapia (rat poison) on my lower lip and prepared to gulp it down. My mother was confused and began to wail begging me not to take my life. Just in the nick of time, Ehigocho came in. Seeing the pandemonium, he offered himself and said the words "Here I am, I don't have money but I will marry her". He thus became the sacrificial lamb that stopped me from dying and married me.

This was somebody's version of how my husband and I met. She gave the gist as though it was first hand information and she lived in the same home with me. I laughed it off and did not bother to offer the true version.

I do realize that my purpose is way bigger than I am. My personality will have me hide away in a corner and fade into background but somehow at every point, I am sought out. I decided to stop running and face the fact that I am a force to be reckoned with. While I would love to wait and correct every wrong impression of me; I simply cannot. The tasks ahead are enormous and I must keep moving.

So instead, this is what I do- I live out my truth and audaciously live my best God given life. What this means is that...

*I am blessed on every side
*My husband and I are not poor and will never be.
*God has blessed us on every side. Our children surround our table.
*Our name and fame is travelling around the world. Domestic and international doors are opened unto us.
*We are instruments in the hand of God. We will bring about the salvation and deliverance of many.
*Our gifts will make room for us.
*We will die empty. Every potential God has deposited in us will used.
*We are chopping life. We will visit the most exotic places and enjoy luxury.
*Our names will continually be on the lips of many because we cannot be ignored.
*Our love is waxing stronger on a daily. God looks down on us and He is so proud of us.

These are my truths. What's yours?

When you do God, the world will eventually adjust. X
