The Christiana Epistle

 I have a design. It isn't a common one, but it is the space I have occupied since my early years: I am a Strategist. My mind naturally seeks the full picture, a well-designed life, crafted by my own hands. As a law student, I instinctively look for the structural logic of a legal argument. As a creative, I map out the five-year trajectory of a career, the emotional arc of a brand narrative, and the intentional design of a future family. I spend my days sketching these visions, and in my mind, that sketch becomes a blueprint. Even as a child, I moved through life with a pen in hand, ready to draft, design, and beautify an idea of a life that felt safe, successful, and significant. I have a pictorial, creative mindset; I can envision an entire journey in a split second. But the 300-level of law school has been a humbling teacher. It has taught me something worthwhile: this season of heavy volumes and even heavier expectations is not about perfectly sketched schedules. Being a multi-...

  ​Choosing to study Law has been one of the most defining decisions of my life. I know that sounds unconventional; I often hear my coursemates say they wouldn't choose this path again if given the chance, usually citing the intense demand on one’s time and effort. ​However, I genuinely enjoy the process. ​In the legal world, we are often told to "pick a lane and stay in it." While focus is important, I’ve recently learned that the most successful careers are not built on a single degree. They are built at the intersection of your unique skills. ​As a Law Student and a Narrative Strategist, I once feared that being a "creative" specifically an intentional storyteller would make me look less serious about my career. I was wrong. Here is why you should never hide your creativity, especially as a legal professional. ​1. Creativity is a Legal Asset ​My background as an English specialist and storyteller allows me to lean into the narrative of cases and principles. I...

 THE INTERSECTION OF LAW, LOGIC AND LIGHT. As a girl with different interests, I used to think I needed to live in different worlds as a different person in each of them. Little did I know, I could live as one person navigating these worlds.  There is a law student aiming to be a lawyer, a believer, a writer and a strategist. I have realis ed something very beautiful, life is more beautiful and colourful when these worlds are merged together as one Life Blueprint   WELCOME TO MY NEW SPACE: As I navigate through these worlds even as a 300-level law currently, (times would have changed if you are reading this three years or more from now, but through it all, I want you to know you are not left behind in this), I realised that my greatest strength isn't just understanding the statutes but understanding the story. I love stories, and I am a storyteller. This space is multi-hyphenated, the goal is to see things through lenses without necessarily losing the values. I am a narra...

 My heart is full of gratitude to the one who made me and called me his own🙏🙏🙏

One day, I was talking to God about my feelings… and my “spec.” I was very specific. I literally explained to Him why I wouldn’t even consider certain kinds of guys, and why some others could attract me without saying a single word. I treated it like one of my little secrets with God. Somehow, that conversation became a rule I lived by. So in my head, any guy who didn’t meet that standard wasn’t worth my time or so I thought. And honestly, it’s very easy to be drawn to what looks good, what glitters, what feels impressive on the surface. Meanwhile, the deeper part the real reason God even created a man to walk with a woman gets ignored or pushed aside. I’ve always tried to stay balanced. I don’t like extremes. I try not to live on either end of the spectrum. But Lord… this is hard to write. Topics like this are sensitive. Help me, Lord. 🙏🏽 Let me say this clearly first: God is a big part of this area of my life. Every crush I’ve had. Every feeling I’ve felt. Every conversation with t...

 Reflection: Tongues, the Spirit, and God’s Timing I’ve been thinking a lot about speaking in tongues lately. You know, in some Christian gatherings, people say things like, “You must speak in tongues immediately when you receive the Holy Spirit.” I used to feel so pressured by that. I even wondered if not speaking in tongues meant I was missing out on something essential. But then I remember my own experience. I was in Junior Secondary School, at a Girls' Auxiliary camp program, if you are a Baptist reading this, then I am sure you know what G.A is. We were praying, really hungry for God, hearts wide open. And then…it happened. I started speaking in tongues. I didn’t plan it. I didn’t try to make it happen. It just came. That moment taught me something so simple, yet so profound: the Spirit moves, and we just respond. Since then, I’ve seen people receive tongues in all kinds of ways. Some get it immediately, some months or years later, and some never do and that’s okay. Tongues is...
