Thinking back to my childhood and daydreams about my 21st birthday, I was kind of convinced I would be living up my dreams in my career, working in the World Bank even as an intern for a start. I even fancied myself as a world traveler, backpacking across Europe and spending my days sipping wine with the world’s most fascinating people, meeting world’s best sellers and having my contributions on their paperbacks. Ok my dreams didn’t turn out as I…
Everyone yearns for that feeling love, once in a while and we all need that person we can relate to, a shoulder to cry on just like a vulnerable child. I want you to mutter in my ear that everything would be alright. I want to love for a day and if it can take me throughout a life time I’ll be more pleased. I’ve almost thrown away everything I’ve held so dear but it becomes dark when I miss…
“Therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you” (Isa. 30:18). “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Hab. 2:3). Yet there are delays in the answers to our prayers. As the husbandman does not reap today that which he sowed yesterday, so neither do we always at once obtain…
I love my city and I think if you stay in Portharcourt you can relate as well. I got some of the headings from Zikoko but I arranged all the memes and pictures ❤️ 1. When you hear lagosians calling ‘Bole’ Boli/ taking roasted plantain with groundnut. 2. When you enter a vehicle to spar for the first time and the driver starts shouting Lagos. Bet how ????? 3. Arriving the garden city and seeing the garden itself. Choi…
I’ve met someone special, the happiest person I’ve ever seen, so full of life that I wondered what I’ve been missing before I met her. Her face is quite different but it made her look intriguing. She has a beautiful heart and I decided she was going to be my lunch partner. She is different from every other person I’ve come across. She is carefree, eats with joy and she’s always grateful from the depth of her heart. I had…
Cher amoureux, I’m really excited writing to you. God knows how much I’ve missed you and your killer advice. A lot has been going on with me and I want to just say how I feel even though I keep acting it’s all good. Life after graduation hasn’t been so easy for me like it’s almost like you have every stage of your life planned out and all of a sudden it hangs. It’s not like you don’t know what…
“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested” (Gen. 2:2). In our whole life-melody the music is broken off here and there by “rests,” and we foolishly think we have come to the end of the tune. God sends a time of forced leisure, sickness, disappointed plans, frustrated efforts, and makes a sudden pause in the choral hymn of our lives. We lament that our voices must be silent, and our part…
Sometimes I struggle to find peace and maintain it in my life. There’s a lot of hostile energy that exists in the world today and I allow it to get to me. Most times I fail to understand that inner peace is a choice I have to make. They’ve been a lot of ups and downs, conflicting situations that I have to make a lot of decisions which may or may not be favorable in the long run. A lot…
Many at times we stick to people for a lot of reasons Fame, protection, love, money and popularity for a particular season We promised to be best of friends And stay through thick and thin to the world ends It didn’t happen like that because you thought I was selfish when I turned twenty I wanted to be always there but I felt like a betrayed and my heart became empty I wanted us to have the best of both…
“Our youth is our most energetic years where our bodies are strong, minds are clear and sharp, our enthusiasm is bright and bushy, our wills are steely and determined.” -David Murray Everyone wants to be known, famous, wealthy, have some level of influence from childhood but how often do we get what we want and at the same time have some level of commitment to our creator? Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor…
