Nigerian celebrity media personality Toke Makinwa, has revealed that she was emotionally drained in 2022, despite the whole smile she display on social media.
Taken to her Instagram page to pen the lengthy note, the actress said the quote “it’ll end in praise” now makes sense to her.

“I’ve had to put myself together so many times this year, my eyes saw “shege” and I didn’t think it’ll end with me smiling but I am, this is the first time I’m crossing over without anxiety in years, almost like I’ve seen the worst so what else??
“Well. Here is what I’ve learnt. Our desires, though perfect in our eyes are only from a vantage point, we can only dream from what is available to us.
God’s plans however are greater than our desires and if we become flexible enough to let go of the control we think we have over how things will happen, we’ll be less anxious and more hopeful (easier said than done) cos his plans are always bigger and better than our imaginations.
“Go into 2023 knowing that it’s ok to have your vision board but remember that we make plans and God laughs.
“You cannot love your self more than he loves you,
You cannot outwork God, he is sovereign,
You cannot write a better chapter, he is the Author,
You can trust totally in the fact that it’ll always end in praise. All that you’ve lost along the way is working together with all that you’ve found, it’s all working together, you’ll see. Cheers to doing “23 flexible,” she said.
