Meet Maclean Odiesa
Welcome to Meditatee, a sanctuary of faith, hope, and inspiration. I’m Maclean Odiesa the voice behind Meditatee and I’m so glad you found my blog.
Meditatee is a Christian blog devoted to providing a space for believers to explore the depths of God’s Word and share the transformative power of the Gospel.
I’m passionate about spreading the love and teachings of Jesus Christ, providing a platform where you can explore your faith journey and find encouragement for your daily life.
I love inspiring fellow believers to read God’s Word and grow a thriving spiritual life. I’ve even created a Bible reading plan, and I encourage you to check it out.
The blog is born out of a deep love for Christ and a desire to spread His message of love, grace, and redemption.
My journey began with a simple belief – that the Word of God has the power to transform lives, heal broken hearts, and bring hope to the weary soul. With this conviction, I set out to create this platform.
My hope is that this blog will serve as a source of inspiration and a reminder of the transformative power of faith in God.
My goal is to provide you with resources, insights, and encouragement to help you grow in your relationship with God and live out your faith in a meaningful way.
But wait! Maybe I am getting ahead of myself. Allow me to backtrack. Will you? Thank you!
My story
Life has a way of throwing at us heart-wrenching trials when we least expect it.
The sudden death of my father
In my mid-20s, life took an unexpected turn that would forever change the course of my existence.
It was a time of grief and overwhelming responsibility.
I lost my father unexpectedly, leaving me as the firstborn in my family to shoulder the weight of providing for my family.
Yet I had no job, no income, and no clue where to turn. The burden was heavy, and the road ahead seemed steep.
Facing rejection
To make matters more challenging, the rejection from those I thought would support us was too much to bear.
Friends and even some family members distanced themselves during our darkest hour.
I was left feeling alone, overwhelmed, and confused. Fear and uncertainty became my constant companions.
The weight of it all was suffocating.
Dropping out of college
Amid these trials, I had to make the painful decision of dropping out of college because I couldn’t afford the school fees.
It felt like I was giving up on not just my education but my dreams and aspirations too.
I found myself standing at a crossroads, with shattered dreams and an uncertain future.
Finding hope amid despair
This season of loss and despair led me to a profound revelation: God’s love and acceptance are unwavering, even when human support falters.
My journey from despair to hope, rejection to acceptance, and shattered dreams to newfound purpose led me to seek solace in God’s embrace.
I turned to God with a heart heavy yearning for strength to carry on and discovered an unshakable faith stirring within me. I also discovered a resilience I never knew I had.
I sought refuge in His presence, desperately seeking answers, comfort, and guidance. And He answered. His purpose for me began to take shape.
Lesson learnt? Don’t write me off when God isn’t done with me yet.
Through prayer, reading His Word, and drawing close to Him, I began to experience a transformation within my heart and spirit. God comforted my broken heart and gave me a renewed sense of purpose.
God’s grace was my anchor, His love my refuge, and His Word my guide. He carried me through the darkest days, providing a glimmer of hope when all seemed lost.
Starting the blog to encourage others
It was during this time of seeking God’s presence and finding solace in His arms that the idea for this blog was born. This blog is a testament to the enduring hope, the love that I found in Christ, and the unwavering faith that sustained me during my darkest hours.
It’s a space where I share my experiences, reflections, and the lessons I’ve learned on my journey of faith, hope, and resilience. It’s a place where I offer encouragement to those who may be facing their own trials, seeking to remind them that they are never alone in their struggles.
This blog is my way of reaching out to others who may be grappling with their own storms, reminding them that even in the fiercest tempests of life, God’s grace is sufficient.
Through life’s challenges, I now understand that God’s love is unwavering, and His plans are greater than any obstacle I may encounter. My hope is that as you read, you’ll find encouragement, inspiration, and a sense of belonging, no matter where life has led you.
Together, we can find strength, hope, and encouragement as we walk hand in hand with the One who never leaves us nor forsakes us.

Facts you probably don’t know about me
I was a Sunday school teacher and Bible study leader for my small neighborhood group for about two years.
Between Sunday and midweek services, I was often at church 2 – 3 times a week until a friend jokingly told me to start living in the church.
In my free time, I love learning new digital skills.
My mission
At Meditatee, I envision a world where faith is a source of strength and joy. I believe in the power of God’s Word to bring healing, hope, and transformation to every heart. My goal is to inspire, uplift, and equip you to live out your faith boldly in a world that often challenges our beliefs.
I started this blog as a way to create a sacred space where we can explore the depths of our faith, seek spiritual growth, and draw closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ. I firmly believe that faith is not meant to be kept in isolation but should be shared, discussed, and lived out in the community.
My prayer is that as you journey with me through this blog, you too will find the strength to weather life’s storms and discover the unending love and grace of our Heavenly Father.
