The Amazing Olajumoke

I have to post before February runs out… This is one of the most amazing stories I  came across on a faithful day.

Most of you must have read or heard from someone the story of a bread seller turned model. Olajumoke. She is the bread seller the popular photographer TY Bello paved way for making her the cover girl of ‘Thisday magazine’.

Olajumoke is a 27 year old mother of two. She was a hair stylist who  relocated to Lagos because her husband and herself could not make a decent living. On the invitation of a family relative she came to Lagos with her 14 month old baby girl (leaving her 5 year old with her husband) to start hawking bread on the streets. 

On a faithful day, God decided to make her shine bright like a diamond. She is now popular and getting endorsements in a way she never imagined. Isn’t this what people describe as destiny?

Remember how we are told destiny can be delayed but never denied. God knows your situation. No matter how long you think the situation you are in is taking, at the end of the day, you will find light at the end of the tunnel.

Whatever is yours will surely come your way. Whatever isn’t yours will never come your way. Your destiny might be taking long. There is hope.

I truly got inspired reading the story. It made me reflect on how magical life can be. Isn’t life just a magical experience!!!
