When it comes to words, obsolete really just means underappreciated.

Last week's #wordwednesday words should have been overmorrow and ereyesterday. While both of these words have fallen out of use in English, they have cousin words with similar meanings German and Dutch, respectively. I honestly see no reason not to start using them again.

You may have a very reasonable objection not to use these words. After all, most people are probably not going to understand these words without a definition provided. Don't let that stop you. Language change can, and does, happen.

In sociolinguistics, we talk about two major forces that shape language use. On the one hand, every language has set grammar and pronunciation rules. Any speaker who wants to be well understood must follow these rules. This is called structure. On the other hand, every speaker is an individual. Every utterance (or text) is a reflection of the speaker's unique identity, and speakers choose the Language they use to communicate. This is called agency.

While I have set up structure and agency to be opposing forces, the reality is that they influence each other, too. Every speaker agent has to navigate social and linguistic structure. For instance, social structures determine if a speaker should use formal or informal language, and linguistic structures determine how noun-verb agreement manifests itself. Importantly, speakers can choose to either adhere to or oppose existing social and linguistic structures. When enough speakers choose to oppose the existing structure in the same way, they CHANGE that structure - social or linguistic.

Be agents of positive change.

For #WordWednesday, I would like to share how this verse makes sense to me especially after what I went through this very morning.

My youngest, Uhone, she is turning 2 next month, had an allergic reaction to something in the middile of the night. So, my nanny calls me and asked me to take over. Upon taking her, I realise she has blisters all over her body and kept scratching and was crying. We tried everything, vaseline, ointments and nothing seemed to work.

at 01:30am, she is tired and in pain; something instantly came to my mind to use the Holy water and salt we have in the house to sooth her pain and just have faith that God will be with her. No jokes, I let go and let God in this situation and Uhone falls asleep instantly! not only that, but those blisters disappear! Like?! How amazing is that.

This verse came to my mind right away; we had leaned on our own understanding and knowledge and forgot that God has the power that surpasses all knowledge. Putting faith in HIS NAME healed my baby, and ensured that we can sleep :)

I ain't preaching, but I learnt today that sometimes you just have to have faith, and God will do the rest. Even if something seems obvious or natural, sometimes God just needs us to trust Him with what seems small to us but is huge to Him.

Also, choose to see God in everything you go through - you would be amazed at what you can discover!

Happy #WordWednesday

There has been a commentary that the names of the sons of Jacob string together as a secret prophesy of the gospel. Do you agree? Which is your favourite name? Reuben – see ye a son Simeon – hearing Levi - attached Judah – praised Naphtali – my wrestling Dan – judge Issachar - he will bring a reward Zebulun - habitation Gad – fortune Asher – happy Joseph – add Benjamin – son of the right hand #WordWednesday Credits • @visionradio https://www.instagram.com/p/CYoRGZmlFb1/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s #wonderfulwordwednesday. Do you think you can incorporate “gezellig” into your writing this week, or perhaps use it as a #writingprompt. Be inspired! And if you want to hear more about this word, check out @brenebrown #UnlockingUs podcast episode with the creators of #TedLasso as they describe how this word and all its meaning came into their lives and inspires them until this day. (Thank you @ellafsanders for this beautiful book filled with meaning.) #amwriting #stopwritingalone #wordwednesday #lostintranslation https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2sPj5r7qk/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm guilty of it too but sometimes, the world including friends, people we know, family and etc talk us down out of our greatness. We believe what they say and then also we also talk ourselves out of greatness and what we are capable of. We may be afraid of what we are truly capable of but that blocks our blessings and may do a disservice to ourselves and God because he has purpose for us and we didn't live up to it. #Facts💯 #WordWednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/CR4Hh4TrLCI/?utm_medium=tumblr
