Deola's Diary

Happy New Year, beautiful one. Welcome to a fresh year, a fresh breath, and a fresh invitation from God to live differently. Not louder Just bolder . Not busier Just more intentional . Not perfect Just fearless enough to try again . This year, you are not entering with anxiety. You are entering with alignment. Because you didn’t survive all you survived to spend another year shrinking. This Year, We Are Choosing Bold Bold doesn’t always mean dramatic. Bold can look like: Star

There are no perfect words for this, but let me see if I can try. You feel like a paradox; someone I’ve never truly known, yet somehow my soul recognizes you without hesitation. It’s really strange how I can look at you and feel a sense of belonging, even though I’m still learning who you are. You are both a mystery and a memory, both unknown and unforgettable. You feel like someone I’ve known forever, and yet when I look closely, you’re still a mystery. You’re a stranger in

In the story of my life, I could list all the achievements I’ve gathered up to this point. And honestly? Not to blow my own horn, I can definitely say that I’ve done well for myself. Still I find myself wondering; where are you? What are you doing right now? What are your likes and dislikes? Your hobbies? Your turn-ons and turn-offs? You’re the part of me that’s still missing. The piece that completes the puzzle. So come be who you were created to be. My husband. My friend.

There are days when the weight of the world feels like it’s sitting on your chest. Yeah… I know those days. The kind where everything feels like a little too much, even things that normally wouldn’t bother you. Like you're carrying invisible weights on your shoulders and no one can really see it. It ’s okay to cry. It’s okay to feel. Some days, surviving is more than enough. You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Just breathe. One breath at a time. I feel that pain

This morning, I woke up thinking about how sweet it will be when we finally meet. Or maybe we’ve already crossed paths and you’re just taking your time. How much longer do you need to step up your game? Are you missing me as much as I am missing you? Do you long for me the way I long for you? I’m starting to wonder if you’re as feeling all the emotions as I am because at this point, I’m over the waiting. The lonely and cold nights, the unending thoughts of you, of us. The yea

Sometimes I feel like people have an opinion about why I don’t have a man, as if I’m supposed to just "find" one somewhere, like it's as easy as going to the store or holding an audition. Sigh   It’s like I’m meant to check off a list and voilà, the perfect guy will appear. But here's the truth: yes, I want to get married. Yes, I don’t want to be on this journey alone. But I also need the right man. I’m not searching for the perfect man with six-pack abs, a six-figure salary,

For a few days, weeks or maybe even months, there has been this relentless unrest in my mind. I come out looking well put together and all excited but deep down, there was a waging war of deep uncertainty and fear. I laid in bed most nights unsure of what the next day would be like; it was even hard to pray. I would say a few words of prayers thanking God for waking me up and committing the day to Him but that was all I could do. And in the midst of all these; I still had to

Do you believe that there is no limit on your life except the one you have placed in your mind? You can’t step into what you’re too afraid to imagine. God didn’t create you to just survive. He called you to see , to believe , and to move . You will only go as far as your vision can stretch. Not your age, not your background, not your location, not your bank account; your vision . I hope you know that God is not limited by your circumstances or the situations around you. The l

There’s something comforting about walls. They create boundaries. They offer protection. They give you control or so it seems. For a lot of us, the walls we’ve built around our hearts didn’t go up overnight (Rome wasn't built in a day). The walls were built tile by tile, brick by brick, from experiences, betrayals that we never saw coming, disappointments that has shattered our hopes, moments when trusting others only left us wounded or heartbroken. At first, when you start b

Hurry Up Have you ever sat with your head in your hands, heart heavy with disappointment, eyes filled with quiet frustration and you are just whispering, “God… how much longer?” J ust checking to make sure I am not alone . Because I have. I know for a fact that waiting on God can feel like being stuck in a hallway and every door seems closed just for you because everyone around you seems to be doing just fine and walking through with ease. You've prayed. You've fasted. You've

Think about God as the ultimate investor, who is giving out gifts and talents like a divine venture capitalist. Everybody gets a gift according to their abilities; some get five, some two, and some just one—but here’s the catch: He definitely wants a return!  Not because He’s broke or he needs it because heaven’s treasury is doing just fine, but because He wants to see if you can handle more. The real question is— what are you doing with what He gave you? What Has God Given Y

When was the last time you read a love letter that made you giggle and your heart happy? A love letter that lightens your mood and brightens your day. Not a "you up?" text at midnight or a "Good morning beautiful" text, but a real, heart-pouring declaration of affection. There’s something magical about words crafted with intentionality, and no one has does this better than the Songs of Solomon . This biblical book is not just poetry; it’s a symphony of romance, intimacy, and

Have you ever had a decision stare you in the face so hard that you start looking away, hoping it’ll magically disappear? Recently, I’ve been in this weird limbo where I know what I need to do, but accepting it? Whew. That’s another battle. So, if you’re in that place where the weight of a decision feels like carrying a bag of rice on your head, let’s talk about it. There comes a time in life when you’re faced with decisions so big, so life-altering, that it makes you questio

Once upon a time, there was a little girl; we will call her "Queen in Transition" moving forward and that Queen is you. Her heart was heavy from carrying burdens she didn’t deserve. You didn’t know where to go or who to turn to, so you found solace with yourself. You became a comfort for yourself, your friends and family and even you own hero. And a lot of times, you felt alone, unwanted, unloved, and never enough. But here’s the thing about this queen in transition: no matte

Fear has a way of showing up just when you’re about to step into something new or significant. It grips your thoughts, quickens your heart, and sometimes makes you second-guess yourself. But here’s something you need to hear: the moments when you’re most scared are often the moments you should act the most. Fear isn’t a stop sign; it’s a signal that you’re on the brink of something meaningful. The Causes of Fear Fear doesn’t come out of nowhere—it has its roots. Maybe you’ve

Let me tell you of a love story that is not about fairy tales or make-believe, but about a love so pure, it feels almost sacred. A love so sweet and true, it’s hard to imagine it could exist in a world so chaotic. But it does. I’ve seen it. I’ve felt it. Imagine a love so adorable, so kind, it feels like a melody crafted just for your heart. A love so delicate, yet so unshakable, that nothing can dilute its essence. That’s the beauty of perfect love; a love that transforms y

Every lady is beautiful, no matter her shape or form. Your weight does not define your worth or how you should carry yourself in this world. Beauty is not confined to a number on a scale but is reflected in your confidence, kindness, and individuality. Yet, weight can often feel like a defining factor in one’s life. It’s important to acknowledge that weight is influenced by numerous factors, such as genetics, unhealthy habits, hormonal imbalances, mental health struggles, med

The dawn of a new year brings excitement, hope, and an unmistakable urge to redefine ourselves. As the clock strikes midnight, many of us eagerly pen down resolutions, bold declarations of what the next 365 days should look like. But the truth is, a year is not made by wishes or lists—it is created by action. Beyond Resolutions: The Power of Doing Resolutions are great they signify hope and vision. But they are only the starting point. What truly matters is what comes next. T

Pruning is a term often associated with gardening, but it can be applied to life and faith as well. Whether it's God pruning you, life trimming away what no longer serves you, or you actively pruning yourself, the process is essential for growth. While it may feel painful or inconvenient at the time, the beauty of pruning lies in its transformative power. The Ways We Are Pruned Pruning comes in different forms. Sometimes, it’s external—loss of relationships, changes in career

There’s a unique kind of beauty in waiting for your person—the one who will make your heart laugh and your stomach dance. It’s not just about finding someone who makes the world stand still; it’s about finding the one who makes you feel like you’re the center of theirs. This person, your person, is unlike anyone else. They are the one after your heart, the one who understands the rhythm of your soul. They make even the most ordinary moments feel extraordinary, filling your da
