Hey friends,

So, I promised myself I’d write at least once every month, and here I am, a little late with my February post—but hey, better late than never, right? I promise to do better moving forward!

February kicked off with a real sense of victory for me. Another academic journey began back in 2021, driven by nothing but faith and a whole lot of “Just Do it.” It was a bold start, but along the way, I lost focus, hit some bumps, and honestly I felt stuck. Doubt started to creep in, and for a while, I couldn’t see a way forward. But you know what? Sometimes storms hit just to help us refocus, and those storms brought me back to God. It was like the scales fell off my eyes. Suddenly, I was thinking, “Why didn’t I see this before? Why did I let myself be stuck for so long?” I didn’t hold onto regret, though—I just embraced the lessons and moved forward.

As soon as my perspective shifted, the Holy Spirit began guiding me with fresh ideas, and within two weeks, a problem that seemed insurmountable was resolved, effortlessly and quickly. Things that would have taken me months to achieve came together in just a matter of days. It was truly miraculous, and I couldn’t help but marvel at God’s faithfulness.

I couldn’t even share everything with my classmates as these blessings unfolded because they were so personal and awe-inspiring. I just watched in amazement and kept praising God through it all. The final victory for me came when I was supposed to receive my certificate but wasn’t physically there to accept it. Instead, one of my loved ones—someone who had doubted the entire process—was the one to receive it for me. That moment? Pure sweetness, e sweet me. It reminded me that God’s faithfulness isn’t dependent on anyone’s doubt, even if that person is you, the “Main Actor” in your own story.

One of the biggest lessons I learned from this journey was to stay calm and not rush to react. Yes, there were moments filled with anxiety and worry, but every time, there was this quiet whisper telling me to hold on. And just like that, Olugbeja Mi (My Defender), showed up. No sweat, no stress.

Also in February, I learnt about ‘Ethical Leadership,’ which made me think deeply about the kind of leader I want to be. I’m not sure what the future holds, but I’m choosing to trust the process. I want to make a meaningful impact on my community in Nigeria, in Africa, and across the world, no matter where this journey takes me.

As for March, I’m calling it my “re-activation” month. I’m ready to take on every opportunity and territory that God has set before me leaving no stone unturned.

To everyone reading this, I pray that you find the strength to keep moving forward, the joy to be content in your unique journey, and the peace that comes from being rooted in God’s love. If you’d like to share your own “Becoming” story with me and the Dife Community, feel free to reach out via the comment section or mail—I’d love to hear from you.

One of the songs that marked my February 2025 is Ekele by Mr M and Revelation
