The Greatest Love Story Ever Told - By Fisayo Agunbiade

You can be cooking and smiling at yourself. Dressing up and laughing at yourself. Getting to work and swing your hips from side to side because you know you are happy. You feel happy and you know it deep down. As a woman, feelings are like second nature. You call a woman fat or skinny and it hits a nerve immediately. A fuss could be created or a tear could be shed but essentially it all boils down to feelings. 

Women nowadays go after their hearts and guts and that's the way to  finding oneself. The best way to go is to lean on those little voices that direct you to matters of the heart where empathy lives and love is created. Little wonder why women do so successfully in fields of medicine, academia and social sciences. It all boils down to what matters most; the issues of the heart. 

 But consider all that love of finding purpose, finding true love, finding God and not actually finding oneself? Apologies to oneself is already in the works if the realisation that all the things you have been loving for weren't things meant yo determine you. You, are the woman and you need to be found as well. 

Beauty explains this, and even after finding the mysterious treasures of life and you can't find beauty, the work has not been done. You have not been found. "Experiencing beauty is like a smile, an energy, a feeling that takes you over completely." 

So, why don't you love yourself today and let go of all big things down to the little details and experience that beauty that will bring the best out of you. The beauty you will forever be proud of when you no longer have to steal a look at the mirror, but this time around, linger a little while longer because you have seen that beauty and that beauty is magnificent. You are the greatest love story ever told.

Let's Talk About Time: Where is Yours Going?

I've come to a stage in my life where one of the top 3 things I am most passionate about is how I'm spending my time. Why? It's one of the greatest gift God has given us - and a lot of the time, truth be told, we squander it. How you spend your time is a reflection of what you really care about. When you find that hours on hours are lost on online shopping, scrolling through Instagram, watching your favourite series, complaining about everything that's wrong in your life, it shows that's where you're truly most invested. It's where your heart and your mind are. Aside from chasing our passions and 'living our best life', how often do we remember that we are called to much more? That our lives are not just for chasing pleasures and being comfy? That we were created neither to just pay the bills or make loads of money? What are you doing with your time? It's a question I now ask myself everyday. It's so important to me not to go thro...

Why We All Need To Stop Feeling Bad About Our Bad Habits

Growing as a Christian and getting rid of bad habits is hard. Growing up, I always struggled with a bad temper and angry outbursts. I was simultaneously a great lover (of people) and a great fighter (my secondary school friends can testify so well to this!). But around 19 years old, with determination in my heart and God’s ever-present help, I was able to contain my emotions relatively well and hardly lost my temper any longer.  All that time, I didn’t realise how much God had worked on my heart, until about a year ago, when I tweeted about my anger issues as a teen and a former colleague replied, “Really? I can’t even imagine you being angry, Kunmi.” I literally LOL-ed. Girrrl, if only you knew! But recently, I’ve had to face my demons again. There’s something about being in such an emotionally-invested situation like marriage that can sometimes bring out things that have long been buried in you, or things you never even knew were there. When I got married, I found that I ...

Are You About to Lose the Gifts God Has Given You?

My brother and I, who interestingly have a 10-year age gap, are constantly teasing, play-hitting or sharing a joke and a laugh (or ten), but on the odd day, we have important conversations about important things. One such rare day was yesterday when we went from gossiping (oops) about specific family members, to talking about gifts.   He opened up to me about how he used to dream a lot when he was younger, where God revealed lots of things to him. But when – as a lot of us tend to do – he failed to take the time to sit with God and work on interpreting those dreams, they soon stopped. However, he found that when he takes some time out to fast and pray now, the revelations through dreams come back.   Then, he said something which really caught my attention. It wasn’t something I hadn’t heard before but it, all of a sudden, sounded fresh in my ears and almost undoubtedly seemed like it was a message targeted at me. He said, “That’s the thing about your God-given gifts. ...
