On this day, last week, I made a major investment in my brand.
I know Iāve not been very active on here lately, just on and off, but Iāve been building quietly and intentionally, and Iām working on showing up fully again.
So I waited for this exact date, because itās the same day I bought my previous phone. (Yes, even Facebook deserves to keep this memory as a reminder.)
But more than that, I waited because I needed time to sit with it.
To bask.
To celebrate myself.
To truly feel it.
Because thisā¦ this means a lot to me.
You may not fully understand, but if you read till the end, you just might.
I spent 900k+.
Almost one million naira.
Even typing that still feels unreal.
I feel so goodā¦ but beyond that, I feel deeply grateful.
This is the highest amount Iāve ever spent on a phone, and honestly? This is just the beginning.
This didnāt happen by chance.
It came from sweat, tears, discipline, patience, sacrifice, and prayers.
God truly did this.
All year, I had been trusting God for a new phone.
I didnāt know how it would happen, I just knew I needed one.
After my birthday last year, my phone started hanging badly.
That period broke me.
I remember crying and praying, asking God to make a way because I genuinely didnāt know how I would end 2025 without a new phone.
I didnāt have a plan.
I didnāt have a roadmap.
All I had was faithā¦ and my skills.
If youāve been following my WhatsApp or IG stories, youāll remember when I posted about getting my laptop around October last year. That day, I mentioned how I had to remove money from my phone savings because working with my phone had become unbearable.
There were nights I went to bed crying because my phone messed me up badly.
Days I screamed in frustration while editing.
Days it overheated, hung, and ruined everything.
There were moments I needed to do something very important, and suddenly my phone would start misbehaving.
I almost smashed it on the floor countless times.
I shouted at that phone so much my neighbors probably thought I was arguing with someone. š
People would call me and I couldnāt even respond because my phone was hanging.
Editing client videos or my recipe videos felt like a battle.
My phone would literally say, āCalm down. Youāll move when I tell you to move.ā
I got so used to my phone heating up that when it happened, Iād just place it somewhere, shed tears, and ask God, āWhen?ā
Because honestlyā¦ I was tired.
Last year, there was a step I was supposed to take, something meant to stretch and grow me, but my phone limitations made it impossible.
That phone really tried for me, I wonāt lie.
I used it to shoot almost all my videos.
I bought it on January 10th, 2023.
Three solid years.
This is why Iām making this post today.
I told God last year that the year would not end without a new phone, even though I didnāt know how it would happen.
At the time, I was trusting God for an iPhone 12 Pro Max.
And guess what?
Before the year ended, God made provision.
But during Hallelujah Challenge, when Minister Nathaniel asked us to write what we were trusting God for, I went back to Him again, this time trusting Him for something even better than what I had initially asked for.
I was very specific.
And I left it in His hands.
And God showed up.
Not small.
Not average.
He showed up big.
Let me be honest, saving for this was not easy.
It took discipline.
It took sacrifice.
It took saying no to things I really wanted.
I deprived myself of a lot because I knew I needed this to move into the next phase of my life.
It took hard work.
I did my part.
And God did His.
Hereās the truth I want you to hear:
There is nothing God cannot do, but you must also do your part.
Trust Him, yes.
But also work, plan, save, and push while trusting.
If someone had told me a year ago that I would be using a phone I invested almost 1 million in, I wouldnāt have believed them.
But here I am.
I did it, by the help of God.
And if God did it for me, He can do it for you too.
All I can say is: MY GOD IS GOOD!
Thereās a different kind of joy that comes from using your hard-earned money to invest in yourself.
I feel so good. Truly.
And thisā¦
This is just the beginning.
We havenāt even started yet. š
Ā©KK.
