Media personality Toke Makinwa shared some inspiring words with her Instagram followers.
Toke who recently filed for divorce from her husband Maje who got his side chick pregnant opened up on moving into a new flat, the challenges she feared and how she has been able to conquer them.

Here is what she wrote:
Quote
“My  you never know how strong you are until you are tested and tried, I used to underestimate myself, I would usually speak myself out of doing things, the voice of fear was so loud till what I feared the most happened to me (like Job) and In my confusion and fear, not knowing what next, I had to learn the hard way but thru it all I found a new me, a girl I didn’t know existed and it’s been really fun getting to know her.
I remember when I moved into my new flat, I didn’t know how I would make it thru but God was there before me. Each time I tried to settle I felt I was insulting God; did I create myself? Do I not trust him? Is his grace not sufficient?

And true to his word, he’s always looked out for this little girl and each time I ask myself how did I come this far, how am I able to stand? Pay bills, thrive and not just survive; I feel so much comfort and I confront my fears about going further.

I’m all grown. I will get by and by his grace my testimony will be complete. Life happens, life doesn’t stop so when next you are faced with “how will I do this??” Think if he brought me to it, his grace is sufficient to take me thru it and I will come out on the other side.

Just like Job, (job had in the end much more than he lost in the beginning) my season of restoration will come
