Not perfect but progressing

Forgiveness.... This topic has been on my mind for a week now and I couldn't get myself to write on it until today because, I guess it would have been hypocritical.  For the last week, I woke up with the word on my mind. Yesterday, I was having bible study with a group of friends and someone mentioned forgiveness. Immediately, I was like oh Lord, is this a sign? Do I really need to write on forgiveness?  This morning, I had a dream about someone that hurt me in real life. I woke up thinking about forgiveness and how I needed to get started on my writing. Tonight, I joined this online praise and prayer program and the pastor started talking about forgiving. This was definitely a sign for me to write about this topic, but little did I know that it was also a sign for me to forgive!  As the pastor started to pray about forgiveness, I opened up my heart to the Lord, I wanted to know why the word had 'haunted' me for the last week. The pastor started to give scenarios...

Have you ever heard of Joseph the dreamer? I am Buky the dreamer lol I dream a lot, sometimes in one night I have about 3 dreams. I started taking my dreams seriously in May 2019 - I started writing them in a journal to be interpreted and to go back to them later for reference. Some of my dreams are weird, some are strange, scary and some, so simple that I can decipher almost immediately. Some of my dreams are a snippet into what will happen in the future or near future, some of them are warnings, some are things happening in the spiritual realm and most of them are just God trying to show me how much He loves me. I think the reason I dream a lot is because, I am able to give full attention when i'm asleep  😓.  One time, I had a dream about a king and his mother passing on a procession. The king's mother asked me to sit on her bosom. I found that so weird in the dream that i decided to wake  up (I actually knew I was dreaming). When I woke up, I rolled my eyes an...

The first book of the bible I read after my November 2017 encounter was the book of Job. Strange right? Most people start with the beginning (Genesis) or with the story of Jesus but mine was a bit different and I feel like God led me into studying that first. You see, the book of Job talks about a perfect and upright man that feared God and avoided evil. Job was a man of God but his children were a bit different. Job offered sacrifices to God on their behalf (Job 1vs 5). One day, Satan tried to prove to God that Job will turn his back if all the things he had, got taken away. Sometimes this is true about some of us, we only love and worship God because of the things we have. After reading the book of Job and seeing how he lost everything but still loved the Lord, I felt a knot in my heart. I felt that the Lord was telling me to be ready for some trials. I really don't know why I felt that way but I mentioned this to my friend Sally on one of our drives to Paris. Honestl...

I remember growing up in a Christian home, going to church, Sunday school and 'giving my life to Christ' at every opportunity of an altar call. To be honest, I was more scared of the stories of hell and the threats of my Sunday school teachers, than actually getting to know the Lord and Saviour for myself. I had the knowledge of good and bad but always opted for bad had to 'give my life to Christ' over and over again. I knew God, Holy Spirit and Jesus but to me, I could never have direct access to them because I was not a pastor, prophet or someone with a higher calling. I wasn't a picture of a very bad child but I tried so many things in my teenage years and early twenties. I remember going through a very difficult time in my life (will share this someday) early 2017. Honestly, I cannot actually explain how I felt but I remember I had depressive thoughts, giving up thoughts and also those of being very useless. One day, in my room, I asked the Lord to show ...
