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 😏.

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 ...

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,...

Wait on The Lord

How does it feel to be left on 'hold'  by God? Depressing? Fraustrating? Draining? Unproductive? I know just how you feel in case you're there right now.  We're together my dia! I know how useless you feel seeing people you're "better than" making progress. Not because of envy or anything, just that in your heart, you know you ought to be above your current level. You feel you're lagging behind and you have a lot to catch up with. You feel the enemy is after your soul, and the people from your father's side are possibly 'doing you' lol . No, my love. It just might be God telling you to hold on. You might be running too fast and He needs you to slow down. He has a plan for everyone, and in his mapping, there's a place for time.  The Bible makes it clear to us that there's a time to give and a time to refrain from giving. Also, a time to build and a time to sit back, and calculate the cost of building, before executing. For now, you...
