So this is my official cry. After 6 months of just So this is my official cry. After 6 months of just living, I’m tired. 

I can’t find this mini Oreos anywhere in Nigeria. We’ve searched all over, tried everything, and I’m over it. 

I know I’m dramatic, but I just want my daily bag of Oreos to fight like God’s baby. 
Just imagine me, using my sword to fight the craze of life but with so much calmness because I have Oreos in my bag. 

Please plug me. I’m really desperate. 
If you love me enough, squeeze it in my hand as my urgent 2k when you see me.

At face value, this is a ‘I miss sweater season At face value, this is a ‘I miss sweater season post’ because I do, and Nigeria won’t let me great. 

But deep down, I breezed in to tell you guys something. 

My friend and I are hosting an intimate worship party with Jesus and a small group of people tomorrow evening/night, nothing serious. 
(Swipe right for the invite) 
Basically chill and spontaneous worship with food. Just an hangout. 

We still have a few slots left, and I wanted to invite you guys. 

Please dm me if you want to come. I can’t wait to meet you ❤️🤍
Today, I’m grateful for the past year, because I Today, I’m grateful for the past year, because I went through the fire and I came out with my full yes.

Reflecting on it is wild because God really wanted to echo my identity to me and ground me fully in it. 
And thank you @estherlonge for holding my hand through the unicorn program while this happened. 

24- The year where I live as heaven sees me, not dimming my light or shying away. Like @mide_wey said, the year Naomi becomes online much. 

I am Jedidiah, God’s beloved.

I am a solution strategist
I am a financier of important initiatives for the kingdom. 
I am a leader of leaders

I am one with God
I am doing union life with God

Happy birthday Naomi❤️

I’ve been reflecting over relationships (all typ I’ve been reflecting over relationships (all types) and my part conclusion is adulting and society is wild.

I genuinely find it very interesting that we run. 
When we do not understand things, we flee. 
When we don’t feel good, we avoid.
And when it hurts so much, we build walls.
When it looks like some form of rejection or we sniff a whiff of embarrassment we pack our bags and choose to ‘dey our dey’.
Then resentment becomes our best friend.

And we would say we hate toxic. 
But, to have whole and healthy relationships, even with God, we have to have the uncomfortable moments and  conversations.

So what then is holding us back?
Is it that we do not like health and wholeness?
Or we are comfortable with the pain? 
Or are we afraid of more pain?
Or is toxic low key sweet? 
Or we choose ego, pride and self-preservation over living freely and loving?

Omo I don’t know, but I have been repeating this prayer (over and over) cause I choose to give and receive love regardless of pain. 

Lord, help me not to build walls and avoid because the conversation is difficult. 
Give me the strength to heal fully and not put band aids over my wounds. 
Help me not to self-sabotage 
I want vulnerability
In vulnerability I find strength and wholeness.
I want you. I want your desires
I want your heart as the source of my emotions.
Help me to love freely and experience all that you have for me. 
Even when it doesn’t make sense and I have been hurt before.
Help me to let go and see you

My sister, Oprah thinks I say people need to heal so much, but I’ve come to realize our characters and mindsets are shaped by tiny little disappointments and mishaps that have happened to us over time. 
Our hearts learn to go into defensive mode, so we don’t experience pain again, and it’s reflective in our actions. 

So yes, break down the walls and start healing today so you can feel and love freely, even with God 🤍❤️

Played around and engraved my fossil watch with th Played around and engraved my fossil watch with the 3 words that are most important to me. 
If I were to get a tattoo, these would probably be my first options also. 

Nae- Well, this is a reminder of my name Naomi. When life hits me, I literally be forgetting my name and switching to Maria sometimes. I have to remember Naomi means pleasantness, beauty and delight and say bye sad girl, so I can live my name. 

Ahava - This is the Hebrew word for a deep kind of love. It means friendship, communion. 
My core is love and intimacy with God and that’s what drives everything I do. Love makes me and that’s why I respond to everything in love, no matter how crazy you can get. 

H - It’s not necessarily the letter H, it is more of a symbol. It represents oneness, like marriage, when the two become one. It means union life to me. 

Lmaoo in case you see my car or any of my properties engraved or has these inscriptions, just know I’m on a spree and I’m not stopping (@elimorgridge low key thinks I’m not okay) 
I even engraved my AirPods, but they got sent back 🥺🥺
I just want to be seeing it everyday until my life reflects these words🥺

If you had to choose only 3-5 words you can see for the rest of your life, and they represent you, what would you pick and why?
So I went home to pick up something after church b So I went home to pick up something after church before I start my Lagos walk about, and I realized the real Naomi really doesn’t like heels and prim and proper hair. 

So meet Naomi, Naé of New York. 
Yeah yeah, it’s the name we have now, mind your business. 
Lmaooo I also realized that if you invite the Pastor Naomi in the previous pictures to your church, wahala for your church members because I will come with tear tear jeans and extra piercings 😭😭😭😭

But the Sunday reminder is that you are your words, thoughts and mindset. Let go of strongholds and live in peace.

Top 5 things in my world, because words would always matter and they build my world. 

@keannawilliams_ took the words out of my mouth, and expressed them with meaning below.

“You asked me why do I write. I write because I still live, I still breathe, I still feel and I still see. 
I write for myself, to process, to reflect, to evaluate. 
I write to honor the One who chose to bless me with this gift.”

So write on. 
Yes, even when it doesn’t make sense, and you think you’re hallucinating.
Write.

Have an amazing week guysss and don’t forget to inhale peace and exhale anxiety.
Happy Friday guys😚😚 So I think I’m going t Happy Friday guys😚😚
So I think I’m going to make Fridays my raconteur days ( I just need you guys to hold me accountable 🙃)

Lol any-who, let me tell you guys a story about my make shift shawarma before I found the original one in DC. 

This day, I was at the train station and I wanted to get a chicken panini but I had just five minutes before the train came. So the guy advised me to get a wrap instead because of the grill time. 
It was going to be the closest thing I had gotten to a shawarma, so I customized it like I was making one. Really enjoyed it. 

And the next day, I popped in for the same treat. 
Only this time, I saw a guy that looked like he was homeless and he asked me for $1.50 to get food. I don’t hold cash cause it will end in Oreos and cab, so I offered to pay for his meal with my makeshift shawarma wrap on my card. 

One random man that’s a defender of women cussed him out and told him to stop extorting money for drugs from women, that he didn’t know if I had babies at home to feed. Lmaoo it was just $1.50 sir, for food. 
I don’t do crazy, so I ignored both sides and still tried to get the food for the both of us, while the man walked away. The train came sha and I didn’t have food for any of us 😭

I enter this train, and sit in the cart with a long aisle with a lot of people because I saw him roam the train( I normally would sit in the 3 people cart, so no one disturbs me). 
And this homeless looking guy sits down in the aisle beside me. 

As the Lagos street girl I am, I am clutching my backpack in front of me and fake smiling/nod, cause my mantra is I don’t do crazy.
I think to myself, well if he attacks me, people are around, and would help. Unfortunately these people started changing seats because they also don’t do crazy. 

I’m just wondering why I’ve entered one chance, and I’m asking God why crazy likes me. 
And this well spoken man tells me thank you for offering to pay for his food and goes into his life story. I’m here nodding my head, trying to think why it’s my business he was recently robbed and I sense it all had to do with his father leaving him. I ask him about his dad, and it was an interesting conversation.
