Sometime ago in school, my biggest challenge in nursing was bed making. Throughout the years, it have evolved from that to giving injections to setting IV line to suturing. Now, I'm more experienced and my worries are different. One thing this experience has taught me is that everything is figureoutable . Nothing stays the same when you put in the effort and practice. Going forward I am armed with a new perspective whenever I am faced with a skill challenge; " I don't kn

A friend opened up to me about something months ago and in a bid to comfort her, I threw one of these cliche things we say at her. “Julie, that's not helping”, she replied. Ouchhh, that was honest😅. I appreciate her 100% for giving me feedback. Fast forward to some months after that, I also experienced a setback. “I don't even know what to say”, she said. I was surprised by how that little statement touched me. The honesty to admit her helplessness in that situation was admi

C- content  O- organization  E-expression M/A- mechanical accuracy For as long as I can remember, these initials were always present after essays were marked. Teachers would allocate marks against each criterion.  Content, Organisation, Expression, and Mechanical Accuracy (COEM) are the core criteria used by bodies like WAEC/NECO to grade English essays, assessing if the writing has relevant points (Content), a logical structure (Organisation), clear language and style (Expre

A few weeks ago, I heard a song in an IG reel. It sounded great so I thought I'd check it out. Went on YouTube music, sang the tune and saw this obviously AI-generated image appear. Still wanted to convince myself that maybe just maybe this artist didn't have any professional photos of themselves so she used this image. So I opened Google app and typed in her name. My brothers and sisters, I finally found what I was looking for.  That voice didn't sound familiar so I was expe

“Don’t wait for the government “ I've heard this statement countless times and anytime I hear it my feelings about it doesn't change; I hate it. Last month, someone I respect repeated this statement. I cringed just a little bit but I fixed my attitude fast fast. I know you might be wondering why this didn't yield the same effect of disdain. First reason is that my bias was active.  Yes, I was being selective with my reactions. I was surprised by the sheer audacity of the firs

For a world obsessed with speed and fast paced living, slow living is rebellion. In a generation where everyone is a founder, an owner, a facilitator, a host or something of that sort, choosing to live an unambitious life can be branded as abnormal. In a world where everyone is running around, being still sounds crazy. We claim to “want to do the will of the Lord” but what if the will of the Lord looks like being a faithful wife and mother of kids. What if the will of the Lor

It's January and I welcome you all officially to the Great Lock-in. The season where most people are excited about making sure that the new year is their best year yet. A lot of activities will be recommended, two of them are fasting and to disappear from social media. I wonder who started the trend of fasting in January. It is understandable though. What better way to start the new year than to deny yourself of food and draw closer to God. This phenomenon, spearheaded by som

It's very interesting to have a favourite blog post when every single one has been a personal blessing. But I figured that today will be a good day to highlight a quality that was the sum of my 2025. My favourite blog post of the year has to be "Praying like Elijah", you can read that here; https://julianaofjehovah.wixsite.com/website-1/post/praying-like-elijah-waiting-well It was something I had studied weeks prior and had little to no intention of sharing but had to because

Today's post is basically a rant. There are dreamers- people with all the ideas and then there are doers. Dreamers are plentyyy, have all the good ideas, have researched it but never do anything. At the end of the day it's the doers that win. It is the people bold enough to walk on water. Those who regardless of their fears step out and do. I'm tired of hearing people talk about their plans, I actually want to see people who do their plans. Wait, let me rephrase that, I'm tir

Ever wondered whoever came up with the concept of a year. Like whose idea was it to segregate the days into years? We could have just been living our lives everyday, getting older but without an accurate measure of how time is flying. The concept of a year is a very wise one in my opinion; a good indicator of how fleeting time is. Instead of dreading the passage of time and irreversible aging, why don't we take responsibility and make good use of it. Why don't we learn from p

ART for the purposes of this post is every expression of a person towards their divine purpose. Even in conventional terms, art doesn't have a fixed meaning, it is a fluid expression of human thought and emotion. So when I mention art here, don't let your mind drift only to the Monalisa or one of Beethoven classics, think about the work you have a sense of purpose towards. If you are a small business owner, a little social media influencer, a budding philanthropist, a dilige

I wish preachers would spend more time preaching the Word than telling us their experiences. This is a slippery one because I think many of them genuinely have good intentions and are just trying to make sure that whatever point they're making is practical to their audience. But you'll look back at a 2 hour sermon and there's one solid hour of “when we were in school”, “there was one time”, “I remember”. Then it begs to ask, is this a personal story telling session or a place
