Nollywood actress, Stella Damasus has been exposed rumored to have secretly married the ex-husband of her fellow Nollywood actress, Doris Simeon. She wedded Daniel Ademinokan, a movie producer, director and business partner with her early this year in New York without the knowledge of others. Sources say that they are living their married life quietly in Abuja.
Stella, the mother of two who has also been married before celebrated her 35th birthday yesterday. Daniel threw a surprise party for her. She wrote a long but deep epistle about her life, read some of what
she wrote;
It’s my birthday today the 24th day of April and all I can say is thank you Lord for everything.
I sat down as usual to take stock of my life and try to evaluate this being called Stella DAMASUS.
I see the world around me now, how it was, how it has been, how it should be and how I wish it could be.
Through it all, I thank God for times I had plenty and times I had nothing.
The times I was happy and times I was sad.
The times I gained and the times I lost.
The times I was judged and criticized by too many and the times I was celebrated by only a few.
The times I loved and the times I could not love.
The times I fell and the times I picked myself up.
The times I made mistakes and the times I did it right.
The times I felt alone and the times I felt complete.
The times I was married and the times I was not.
The times I did not have anyone and the times I had a family.
The times I thought I had it all and the times I thought I had none.
The times I thought I knew it all and the times I knew nothing.
The times I blamed the world and the times I blamed myself.
The times I thought I could fix things and the times I knew I could not.
The times I could have died and the times I was saved.
The times I cried and the times I smiled.
In all of this I realized that I could not really control any of these factors on my own. That was when it dawned on me that while we are here on earth breaking our backs to control everything, God has already done that and has decided who we will be, where we will be, how we will be and when we will be, so no matter how hard people try to interrupt other people’s lives or theirs it is not possible.
Today I mourn the death of loved ones, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, children, women and men all over the world who died suddenly without any form of sickness. May their souls rest in peace.
I wonder what their last thoughts or words were before life was taken from them, I wonder what they see and how they feel. At that point are they able to right the wrongs they have done? Do they have the opportunity to ask God to forgive them and let them enter into heaven or is it too late at that point?
I don’t want to have to wait till that point to find out, I want to start while I am still alive and able to change my thoughts, words, actions and everything about me.
The moment I realized the truth about life, love, success and God, it changed everything about me and I am happier, more mature, fulfilled, more successful, not necessarily talking about money. I am talking about a quality of life that you can only achieve when you allow the owner of the world give it to you.
A lot of you might wonder what I am trying to do, some might even say “ha! Stella has turned into a preacher”. Truth is that I don’t have to be a pastor to speak the truth that I have come to know and I don’t have to be a perfect person to know this truth and then try to change myself with the help of the Holy Spirit of course.
I am not perfect, neither are you. Even the priests and pastors who guide us are far from perfect so no one should ever make you feel you are not good enough, no one should tell you that your sins are too much for God to forgive, no one should make you feel you have to go through him or her to confess your sins to God and ask him for forgiveness, no one should mislead you and tell you that masturbation is not a sin and try to justify it by confusing himself more than the people who are already confused.
God bless you all and thank you for all your birthday wishes. I love you.
