Nobody: Didn’t you start a blog?

WordPress: I don’t know her *in Mariah Carrey’s voice*

Wow! Hi.

Not even sure where to start. Not even sure what my life is about. Not even sure that I am real. Ok, let me stop.

It has been three years since my last post. A whole lot has happened since then, most of which have been great. Many not-so-great things have also happened within the period. In everything, my heart is happy and I am immensely thankful to God.

My last post was about chasing two rabbits and not catching either one. I ended up chasing the public health ‘rabbit,’ and I got a Master’s in Public Health in Epidemiology. Whoop! I am content with this ‘rabbit’ and look forward to all that God has in store for me on this journey.

Also, since my last post, I have gotten into a relationship and I am currently engaged to him. Welppppp, that escalated with the quickness. Yes, engaged! I am going to be someone’s wife. Mad. You see what I mean when I say a lot of amazing things have happened.

On the not-so-great side of things, I am in my third month of job searching since completing my internship for my Masters. I am super frustrated. I am trusting God entirely for a miracle job before the end of the month. *pray for me, I am planning a wedding*

As you can imagine, my faith has been tried and tested on numerous occasions in the past three years. I plan to share some of them on here, so stay tuned. My walk with God was on the rise three years ago, that was what prompted me to start the blog; so I can look back many years from now and see how far I have come. Hence the name faith trail. You see I was thinking. *pats self on the back.*

So I am back! For real this time lol. To document my life and all the ‘exciting’ things God is doing in and through me.

Hello again 🙂

Hope you’re having a great week. If you’re not, the weekend is only one day away, so you have something to look forward to. 🙂

I am still trying to decide how I should write on here. Whether to write to my future self or so far the 3 people that have visited the site. I lowkey think I’m the 3 visitors because I’ve tried to see what the site looks like from different devices. Shhh.

Today I want to talk about Focus or the lack of it. Oooh! Look at me getting serious from the jump. Earlier this week, I read a quote that said “If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one.” Wow! Wow! Wow! Who is responsible for this sub? God or the universe? I’ve always wondered why it seems like the sermons in church and all the quotes I see on Instagram and Tumblr are always directed at me when I’m going through something. Whether it’s heartbreak, trust issues, a wounded relationship or focus in this case, they just seem like they are targeted at me. I also then think that maybe I’m just forcing things to be relevant to me. Either way, I caught this sub. Thank you very much. *side eye*

Let me give you guys a background story and my future self a quick reminder.  I have always loved science and from as far back as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a Doctor. Great right? Right! Third year Biology: Pre-med undergrad I began to doubt myself, pretty hard. Yooo! Cell Biology and Organic Chemistry 2 kicked my butt. Just thinking about that year right now is making me sad. I talked to my parents (a.k.a my cheerleaders) and they encouraged me but after I finished that year I switched majors to Health Promotions. I could not do it. I took summer classes to make sure I would graduate on time but,… you know there has to be a ‘but’ because this life is a pot of hot beans.

Anywayssss, I finish my health classes on time and with only a couple weeks to graduation, I discover that many Dental schools require Biochemistry. Biochemistry was the next class I  would have taken if I continued my Biology major. Long story short I stayed an extra year in college to finish my Biology major. So I graduated May 2015 with two degrees. Yayyy!!

Ok, back to today, I am struggling between going all the way with Dental school or going all the way with Public Health. I don’t want to give up on my first love (dentistry) without at least trying my hardest but I also don’t want to ‘waste’ any more time trying if it’s not going to work out (Please ask me why I think it’s not going to work out.)

It’s stressful because my desire for Health Promotions is growing rapidly each day and I keep trying to justify it by saying there had to be a reason why I switched majors and then I justify Dental school by saying there had to be a reason why it was my first desire and why I switched back. I hope you understand what my state of mind is right now. *sigh*

Hello, my name is Ifeoluwa, and I am chasing two rabbits. *I imagine you’re saying ‘Hi Ifeoluwa.’* Yup! For now that’s exactly what I’m doing. I am hoping one rabbit will standout and be more desirable with the help of the Holy Spirit of course. I have been praying everyday about my future and for God to reveal His plans for my life to me. I am trusting and believing that He will. Still in my rabbit pursuit, I am preparing for my dental school exams next month and also applying to my school’s Public Health program. I cannot wait till I know which one is for sure, so I can focus and pursue it whole heartedly.

See you. :*

Hello there 🙂

Thanks for joining me today. My name is Ifeoluwa, which means ‘God’s love’ in my native language, Yoruba. I am twenty-two years old, the only girl and middle child in my family ( go ahead, make your assumptions about me from that information). They’re probably true, or not at all true. I guess you’ll find out.

I’m sure you’re rolling your eyes wondering why everyone and their mum thinks they need to have a blog. Like you ain’t shit, no one is trying to read about your boring life.

Or you really weren’t thinking that. *awkward pause*

Well, you’re still reading, so I’m guessing you DO want to know. *blushes*

I’m starting this because I’m at a very confusing/frustrating phase in my life, as a young female adult, and in my Christian faith and I thought it would be a wonderful idea to share my struggles/challenges with the world. Just kidding, but not really.

I plan to talk about many different challenges young adults experience but no one really talks about except when we make jokes on twitter and attach funny memes/gifs and get 1000 retweets because everyone can relate. *phew* <—that was me allowing you take a break from that very long sentence.

I plan to share my testimonies because I believe I am going to overcome these challenges and have testimonies that show that God ALWAYS comes through for me. The goal is to come on here several years from now, and see how my trust in God has grown through the years, through each and every challenge and shed a tear. (Yes i am planning future tears right now.) Basically this is a documentation, with time/date stamps.

I will also be sharing random things; from rants, to my favorite setting powder, to my favorite person in the whole world (my dad), to my favorite bible verses, to my views on controversial topics like abortion, to family photos, to nail polish, to….. I’m not sure how long it’ll takes till I become annoying. I know, you get it, I’m going to be random. 😀

I just realized I could have done this whole thing on tumblr. *stares intensely at wall*

Too late. I already paid for the domain so YOU’RE GONNA READ ANY AND EVERYTHING I POST ON HERE! (No, I’m not shouting. Please read? Please?)

I’m gonna stop here, because nobody likes a chatterbox.

See you back here soon. 🙂
