We are home…

It was the morning of Thursday 12th March 2020.

We finally settled on a name for the blog, we chose “GUARDED CORE” www.guardedcore.com, we couldn’t really say how the name came, but it came…

It was inspired by the scripture in proverbs 4:23 that says, ” Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life.”

The blog focuses on general lifestyle issues with a faith-based perspective as the core, we love Nigeria a lot, so there will be some ink on that too… And a lot of other topics as inspiration demands.

GuardedCore will be a more concise and structured version of the content usually shared on WhatsApp, as we realized many times that the context of the thought is usually lost or too open-ended when captured in a 700 character WhatsApp status.

So here we go…

Today, What amazed me the most was that I discovered that I could successfully turn to 10 to 15 trusted friends and get their judgment and appraisal of our choices and the intentions behind this platform.

I have such sound and blessed people around me, who were willing to provide their perspectives

Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another

We become wealthy people, not just because of a fat bank account, but because we have proper relationships, solid accountability circles that consciously and unconsciously restrain and propel us as when needed.

Proverbs 13:20 says, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

Today seemed to be a day for relationships,

I also benefited from another relationship when I went for a check-up at a hospital, my Friend and doctor, got me hooked up with some of the best hands around and at the end of the day, I had a combined team of 4 experienced doctors appraising my health…

I couldn’t have gotten that far without a proper relationship prior to my need.

“There are some things money can get you and there are many more things a healthy relationship can get you”

We believe there would be more to share on the “wealth of relationships”, but for now, we are just excited that we got this platform running…

So our appreciation list in no particular order will be…

Mr. Amaechi O.
Ms. Melissa S.
Mr. Hillary I.
Mr. Jesse O.
Mr. Nathaniel I
Ms. Elizabeth
Mr. Shwar Z.
Mrs. Anukam
Mr. Christian I.
Ms. Chimadika O.
Past. Josiah G.
Ms. Grace B.

And to all those who I can’t recall

Thank you for being such a blessing, it’s taken us such a long while to kick-off but we are here now…

God willing, there will be no stopping…
