The Esthitude Place

After spending almost a year in this community and in a situation where I never thought I could cope, I deemed it necessary to share with y’all some of the lessons I’ve learned and techniques on how to survive if you ever find yourself in such a situation.

Here was Jonah in the belly of a fish (I can’t even fully picture this), yet he was alive. ‘Cos it was recorded that he prayed and in his prayers, he cried and God heard him.

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

I’m writing this to encourage young people out there, those who are scared and think that their dreams are bigger than their age, and the older folks that think they’ve wasted the fertile part of their life on vanity. There is a reason for you being where you are right now. No matter how old or young you may be, you can still make the best of the rest of your life.

Hello dear readers, just some dose of motivation to get you going this week, enjoy each tip.

I am Grace Okoli, God’s chaser and favorite daughter, a trained but not practicing Medical Microbiologist, an entrepreneur and the present CEO and Organic Formulator of Shanyi Organics.

In movies, you sometimes see a scene with someone burning from head to toe, screaming and trying to fight the flames. It happened right in front of me. Everyone ran back trying to figure out who it was and how to put out the flames, shouting advice from a safe distance. It took me a moment to realise that it was mum. I stood glued to the spot, watching her burn.

On a calm Thursday evening, I took a stroll down my street holding nothing but my journal and a pen. I found a bulwark to sit on and enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounded me.

So dear friends, welcome to February and the stark realisation that 2017 is already beginning to fly away.

I’ll like to tell you a story about a lesson life taught me recently. If you’ve been following my posts (especially the NYSC category), you should be able to comprehend this story easily.
