~Welcome, 2011~

A short simple farewell message to the year 2010.

This year has been very eventful for me. In it, I have witnessed a steep learning curve and an even steeper growth curve (well, maybe not physically!),
It's a year where I started a race which I am still running strongly, a year when I started exceeding limits and breaking boundaries- all for a good cause.
It's a year where I met some amazing people and formed stronger relationships with those that had already been in my life.
It's a year where I overcame fears and witnessed the power of faith,
A year where I influenced more lives positively- even unintentionally at times.
It's been a year of good fun, unleashing the youth that I had locked in in my attempt to appear mature.
It's a year where many wishes came true and one where I truly realised that if you work towards the 'impossible', you will get it.
It has been a year filled with love, hope and faith.

Most of all, it's been a year of building solid foundations in my walk with God.

I welcome 2011, heartily,  because 2010 has paved the way for a more tremendous year.


Cheers to an amazing year!

How Great Thou Art: God's glory in the Arts

I remember how I saw colour that day. The green trees, the blue sky, the brown soil, everything vivid and bright. It was the usual walking route with the usual after-work tiredness, but, as if my eyes had been opened from blindness, the mundane became vibrant and I stopped to take it all in. The words from the popular hymn, How Great Thou Art, come to mind: When through the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze The greatness of God’s works was displayed before me, like an artist exhibiting his masterpieces in a gallery. Hidden in the seemingly dull and ordinary was His beauty being uncovered. I thought to myself “how great is His creation, the work of His hands.” “The heavens declare the glory of God, the sky above proclaims His handiwork” (Psalm 19:1). O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all t...

Carts & Horses

This post is inspired from a movie called Wasted Oil, a Nigerian Gospel movie that I am currently watching as I type. "...And seek the Kingdom of God first, and righteousness,  and all other things will be added unto you" The word and   is used in a place of succession similar to then, thereafter, afterwards, so that- these are words and phrases used to describe what will come in the latter, a consequence of an action. It's usual to misinterpret this verse as the word and has been replaced mentally with the likes of as, whilst, during- words that show simultaneity. Think of carts attached to horses. A cart is not pushed forward by the horses muzzle, instead, it is drawn from behind the horse's saddle. The cartwright has designed it that the cart will be (nearly) impossible to move if pushed forward. And so it is for us; consequences do not come before actions. Deuteronomy 8:1 "Obey faithfully... so that you may live" There is alw...

Yours Sincerely, Me

For reasons unknown to me, I was deeply inspired to write this note on my way to school this morning. I hope this note is relevant to someone. Stay blessed . I dread to start this letter with “Dear” because I fear that she might read it and become suspicious and spiteful of what is now non-existent. And no, I wouldn’t want that, for I am a changed person and whatever I do now, I do it in love. I would like to ask you a few questions though, well; I would like to know if when you see her your eyes light up like a kid’s in a candy store? Do you find yourself smiling just at the mention of her name? And do you wish you could hold her in your arms and make those precious moments last forever? Is she your half’s other, close to you like no other? I’m not writing to make you feel insecure about your new relationship. I don’t want you to feel that you are being watched closely, I haven’t gone crazy and I am fine; there’s been no mental-breakdown. I just want to remind you that you once s...
