Sisterhood is one experience I thank God for all the time...it's simply the best experience one could have growing up. My life as a little girl was wonderful because I had five amazing girls to share it with. Oh, how I remember when we all eat in a tray and mark territories inside the tray; when we would exchange meat for the other persons egg or fish; how we would create amazing but foolish games and feel so happy about it; or the times when we take turns to wash the dishes that heaped like mountains; when we'll sing together under the trees at night with our beautiful voices (minus Eva, she sounds like a male frog when she sings); playing under the rain (yes oh...I'm not ashamed); acting storyless dramas that'll always end in a fight; when you borrow and share dresses and shoes...Oh! I miss some of these moments  Not forgetting my little brothers, they are my everything. Sisterhood extends to them too. Whenever I see them, my heart is filled with joy and happin...

For a long time, I have been unable to do some certain things. I thought it was normal I'll get back to myself in no time. But i noticed i was becoming worse, I'd start things and not finish them, procrastinate some of them I'm yet to start. I was becoming disorganised!!! After a couple of weeks, I still hadn't noticed what was happening to me until just recently I realised I had been lost. I was empty. It felt okay at first but when I began to put some pieces together, I realised I had lost my center. Losing something is so easy, the hard thing is getting it back. And one worse thing is when you don't know exactly what's missing. Getting it back is one very difficult task because you don't know where to start from, you just know something's missing and you need to find it. What is one's center? It is a place where essence is drawn from. When I realised what exactly I lost, i was stuck. No one understood what was wrong but then I set out to fix my...

I really do not not get scared much being the kind of person that analyses everything I come across. When I find myself in situations that may seem to be a bother, I don't even think about them much, I just pick one of the first two ideas that pops in my head and I'm good to go. I love my self so much, the way I do things and the way I think. When I do some things, they are so odd to people but hey! I am Lisa not your clone. People expect so much from others when they do little themselves. Well, back to the real issue. Fears!!! We all are afraid of at least one thing, I am afraid of more than one. Sometimes these things keep me awake at night, or make me act crazy in the dark especially after a horror movie. Jesus, I hate those things, they just don't leave your head for a very long time! I don't know about you but even if you give me a million dollars I don't think I'd want to watch one...*coughs*. Apart from being scared after watching a horror movie, ...

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men - Titus 2:11. It's been a while I worshipped with my brethren, Church was awesome today...the atmosphere was filled with Minshe (happiness, joy). The house of God is a place where one can find peace, love, joy, happiness and all the great things you could imagine. I always emphasise on Grace because I understand its importance in my personal life. I was glad when my Reverend spoke about it; how it is given to us free and we take it in vain. Here are some ways we take God's grace in vain. 1. When we behave as if we owe God nothing. 2. When we've not been trained in his ways. 3. When we are ashamed of his gospel. I immediately began to check the category I fall in and I realise sometimes I am ashamed of his gospel. I think it's time I conquer that, and live a life that would reflect Christ, (Matthew 5:16). It's not gonna be easy with all the temptations in the world today, but I'm glad I re...

Everyone  makes mistakes....everything has a flaw. Mistakes to me, are inevitable. When you try to perfect something in your own way and another finds imperfection in it, could be frustrating. We all make mistakes, it could be behavioural, or simply our lifestyles. When we make mistakes and are corrected, it is sometimes very hard to first accept it, and finally when we see it is truly a mistake, we may not want to take corrections rendered because of either pride/ego, anger, foolishness or other reasons. I've made a lot of mistakes, but I do not condemn myself, they make me stronger and better because I try to accept and correct them. Sometimes these mistakes turn out to be the best things for us after all. I usually have conversations with myself (I know I'm crazy) and I thank God for letting me make some of these mistakes because I would not have gained so much knowledge from them, even those that are really evil....Yes, evil!. I became serious with my writing because of on...

Recently, School vacated and it's been so boring. A few days after, I woke up one early morning, dressed for school before I realised we were on vacation. I remember my first day in my School, it was a whole different world. A friend who picked me from the airport had a class so I had to go with him, he made me wait for him in the library. I picked up a book titled, "Public Speaking" and I sat down to read. At first, I just kept the book in front of me and looked around. I saw a girl with some big books, I centered my gaze on her and wondered what level she was because she was so focused on the math question she was solving. She looked so serious that I decided to get serious with my book. When I looked back at the book, I wondered why I picked such a boring book but I learned so much from it and in all my years in school, I always refer to the book whenever I had a presentation with tough Lecturers. I was lost reading the book when my friend came and told me it ...

I get inspiration from so many things...Music, Myself, God, and so on. But these inspirations come with different feelings. When I’m inspired by God, I feel heavenly and try to make peace with God and myself if I have erred. When I’m inspired by Myself, I do stuffs I couldn’t do. Things I normally would say I can’t do. That moment, I feel like a super girl. Yea, I always talk to myself when I feel weak, disappointed at my performance or my behaviour towards someone or I when someone tells me I cannot do something especially when the person can do that particular thing. I tell myself, “if he/she can do this, why can’t you?”. There was a time I was selected to represent my school in a tournament with other schools, I was to throw the javelin but I hadn’t done that in ages and we had less time for proper training. When we went for our first training, I failed. I was so angry at my self that I left and sat waiting for my coach to come closer so I would say I won’t be participating an...

Hi, my name is Lisa Chukwu Chikazi. A distinct Nigerian girl from Rivers State. Currently, I’m pursuing my Bachelor’s degree at Regent University College of Science and Technology in Accra, Ghana. I have five sisters, two brothers and two wonderful parents. I’m a singer, been singing since I was a little girl. Been raised  in a Godly home, I sang in my church’s children choir and later joined the youth choir. Although I would love to go into music someday, I don’t know about that now (I mean doing it now). I have an awesome voice and I love listening to myself sing because I know I’m an amazing singer. Writing is so much fun and I love it. I’m not a published writer, but I believe I have a talent with words and I would love to harness that talent through this blog and be a voice that would be relevant someday. I do not just want to blog for fun only. I am very futuristic. I don’t dwell in the present but rather live the moment as a road that leads to my future. I always say someday...
