In the past couple of years, I lost sight of who I was, I somehow got caught with the wind and allowed it take me wherever it deemed fit, I struggled with the decision of either moving with the tide or taking control of my life , and the thing is , if you sit with sadness for a long time, it becomes a part of you, as you might have rightly guessed, the tide took me along with it. Well, until I found Jesus last year.

At the beginning of this year, I decided to live my life with this belief that I was a Princess, you see, as a child , my daddy used to call me “Princess Amaka'“ ( yes my name is Amaka), but somehow we lost the plot. I re wrote the plot in January, is it finished ? no but ask me again at the end of this year.

In my last letter, I was a very confident-unemployed-broke babe who believed that she could keep swiping her card without the fear of it declining, the Devil ( and Zenith Bank ) read it and said ,” you? i will deal with you “ , because my dear friend, I eventually lost count of the number of times my card declined !! But do you know who is God’s Princess? yes , that’s right, me. When God said He would supply all our needs according to His riches in glory , He wasn’t lying like that Port Harcourt man that will promise you heaven and earth and would not even give you the barest minimum.

This month, I took one day a time, I rewarded my myself for making it through the week one too many times, did not wake up with headache everyday ( I did on some days ), I lowkey have an idea on what I’m doing , I’m not clueless and I’m not “winging it’ every other day, I struggled with finding peace this month which is pretty ironic seeing as the topic for Bible study this month was ‘The Peace of God’. after so much procrastination,I finally posted a short story, I also got a collaboration invite, extended my reading hours and most importantly, I celebrated my Big 23 on the 23rd and I had the best time ; big shoutout to all who were a part of it ❤️ [ except the photographer].

Overall, I had a good time this month and i hope you did too.

I hope next month is better for you and you get multiple “ta-da’ [‘s] from God.

Love,

Your Friend,
