Hard guy!

Yunno while growing up, I always imagined how the disciples felt, realising and actually seeing their master, teacher and greatest confidant leave, within a short period of knowing and fellowshipping with him.

They must have felt broken.
They must have had this grief that couldn't be expressed in words.

They must have wept bitterly in secret, and acted "hard guy" in the open.

Though they were given the promise of a new comforter, still, it couldn't be compared to the physical presence of their well known comforter.

Though they were given the promise of an overcoming life, still, it couldn't be compared to the battles they were going to face without the physical presence of their Captain.

It must have been a difficult time for them, they must have felt their world had fallen apart.

They would have almost given up the faith, but rather, they chose to encourage themselves.

Encourage themselves that their master, had left for them a solid foundation to build upon. That he had left for them a life to model after.

That he had left for them a peaceful soul to emulate and if they ever were in need of help, he was ever willing to help, no matter how distant they felt he was.

It's the same mind we should have, it's the same mind I am contending to have.

I am the disciple, and my master was a teacher and a best friend.

Bla bla bla, long and short guys...
I am a hard guy 😏.

The Mapped out Plan😌

Happy New Month!! 🎊🎊 Hope it's not too late to say "happy new year" too? Better late than never my dears, I apologize🥺. It's beautiful to write to you again. The most anticipated story I failed to share last year is what I'm about to share right now. So grab a cone of popcorn and enjoy. Actually, be blessed. I grew up with the fantasy of becoming a dentist. Don't ask why. I guess my mind had just created enough images of dentists and seeing myself as one felt angelic. The regular admission process was on and I didn't make it for the University of Lagos' cutoff, but miraculously (or so I thought) the then Ondo State governor; Dr. Olusegun Mimiko had just established the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED) right in my home town and was open to students for application. My parents were excited. They were hopeful I wasn't going to miss a school year as they felt things were going to work in my favour, being an indigene of the locality,...

What A Journey!

I thought hard and long about what this article should entail. My head failed to come up with a lovely post, but an excellent mind came up with some soothing words. Here is a beautiful piece from a friend and devotee. LOL . I'm sure some of us can relate to its content. Kindly read aloud on your beds, savor each paragraph, and be strengthened. " On your mark Get set Go! These words were not spoken to me before I chose to pick up the baton to run this race. I kept running without looking back, still am. But I haven't stopped to wonder what type of a race this is. I mean, what type of a race validates a fall but rebukes a retreat, at the same time mandates its participants to uplift lagging/dropping mates right on the journey? What type of a race encourages its athletes to run, not for the medal at the finish line but a love for the journey What type of a race mounts up hurdles that limit its athlete's speed but strengthens their zeal ...

Don't Be Too Hard on Yourself

Who wants to hear my life's story? I've tried not to document anything on this year's lockdown experience, but I can't help it. It was an experience that shook everyone. Nations went helpless, governments went clueless, people got lifeless but God was potent.  I remember living in fear at the very beginning, seeing the death records rise every minute in various countries and of course the shootings and robberies on the Nigerian streets. Staying indoor all day, and getting the news that people around were taken to isolation centres, weren't helpful either. I mean all of these got me afraid and I'm sure everyone else got frightened too. I remember almost having a panic attack one evening after going to the bathroom to ask God various questions. Things got real and the only asset everyone was fighting for was life . Now, there was an endsars protest which, oh my.. wasn't as productive as we all thought it would be and again, people went into hiding to p...
