   Finding A Balance: Part 2

   “Before you do anything, put your trust totally in God and not in yourself. Then every plan you make will succeed.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭3‬ ‭TPT‬‬ We're back with Part 2, and this time, I brought someone with me. In Part 1, I talked about my own journey with finding a balance,the overwhelm, the juggling, the learning to navigate life as a student. This episode is the continuation I promised, and it comes with a guest who has lived a version of the balance story that I think a lot of us will recognise. Meet Sapphire Ogbonna — academic scholar, multi-hyphenate, and someone who has genuinely figured out how to hold a lot of things at once without dropping the ones that matter most. But what makes her story worth listening to isn't the part where she has it together. It's the part before that. Sapphire went from 2nd position in primary school to 14th. She changed schools in senior secondary and her grades dropped again. She sat for WAEC, didn't get what she needed, stayed home, wrote NECO, combined results, and that's how she got into university. On paper, it looked like a winding road. But she walked into university not with a notion of failure, but with clarity: a course she loved, a standard she set for herself, and an understanding of what deserved her attention and what didn't. In this conversation, Sapphire shares: Her academic journey — the dips, the recovery, and what she learned from each one, How she found her footing in university after a complicated secondary school experience, What it actually looks like to set the tone for your own life rather than letting life set it for you, How she juggles multiple roles and activities without losing herself in the process and, Why the Holy Spirit is not a passive presence in the business of finding balance. This one is for every student, every young person holding more than they think they can carry, and everyone who has had a detour and is wondering if it disqualifies them from a good destination. It doesn't. Sapphire is proof.

   IS HE ONLY THE GOD OF THE UNOCCUPIED?

   “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭23‬ ‭NLT‬‬ What happens when you can’t pray as long as you used to?

Reach me 📫@osabumere2005@gmail.com Instagram: @ireoluwaosime Bible verse mentioned in this episode: ‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭EASY‬‬ “Even if our thoughts tell us that we have done something wrong, we still will not be afraid of God. We can trust God more than we trust our thoughts. He already knows everything about us. My friends, if our thoughts do not tell us that we are guilty, we will not be afraid to come to God. We can pray to God and we can ask him to help us. He will give us what we ask him for. That is because we obey his commands and we do the things that please him.”

   You may really never be ready, and that’s okay.

   After two years of silence, I’m finally pressing record again. In this comeback episode of “You May Never Really Be Ready And That’s Okay”, I talk about why I stepped away, what changed, and why waiting to feel “ready” kept me stuck longer than I expected. This episode is about growth that doesn’t look linear, healing that isn’t aesthetic, and learning that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is begin again, even when your voice shakes. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to start, restart, or try again… this one’s for you.
