Naija:


In this jungle, you work out your survival... Cos of the rot that's been wrought by... Some say it's the leadership others blame the colonialists.
Still, many have come to the conclusion that the rot is the handwork of the Nigerian...

If you sit back in hope that it'll drop into your hands, except by God, it may never happen

It does happen for very very few... Maybe you and I were not meant to be part of the few.... 

Yet Naija still stands; a bleeding giant weeping over tears over her dying children... If she had a voice, what would she say? If she could lash out, who would get the brunt of her anger and pain... 

We hold it in... Hoping against all hope to make that difference... A few of us get into that corridor supposedly flowing with power; how does a corridor flow.... Hmmmm... But we get swallowed up by the hunger and anger pangs we had buried for so long...

We end not allowing the anger control us so we can make that change for the future... Instead, we yield to the hunger so we fill our pockets, never getting enough...

And the queue continues to build... Will there be a savior in the long line of hopefuls?

Running or walking away, as some do, not you my dear.... Is that the answer?

Waiting; AN EXERCISE IN GROWTH

  Waiting: a journey in growth Waiting is not a passive hole in the road where life simply stalls; it is a classroom with no fixed syllabus, a workshop where the raw materials of our character are shaped by time, friction, and faith.  We live in an age that measures success by speed, yet some of the most important things—trust, mastery, reconciliation, healing—refuse to be rushed. If you have ever felt the itch to move faster, to force an outcome because the silence feels like failure, you are in good company.  The question is not whether you will wait; the question is what the waiting will make of you. Consider the young teacher who spends years building trust with a class before a single breakthrough appears; the promotion she longs for is not only about competence but about the quiet credibility earned through consistent presence.  Think of the immigrant who waits months, sometimes years, for paperwork and permission, learning humility and resilience in the limina...

Strength....(Culled from Allworship.com)

Yes Lord, it's me again And like always, I'm in need Though not for fame and fortune My heart is without greed I'm just weary from the burdens And the strength I seem to lack I'm not asking for a lighter load, Lord I just need a stronger back There are times when the road gets rough And it's hard to carry on When rest always seems out of reach And all but faith is gone Make my mind think clearly And use the wisdom it has acquired Don't let decisions come in haste When my body becomes tired My feet always seem smaller Than the shoes I need to fill And that's when I still need you, Lord And know I always will Alone in weakness I would falter But if you'll walk by my side I can persevere in troubled times And within your strength abide When my knees start to tremble And I fear that I may fall I bow my head and close my eyes And on you Lord I call And I pray that you'll walk with me As I strive along my way To give me ...

THE END: Lately, I've been thinking about "the End".... What about it? What exactly does it mean? "The End"....as in, there's nothing left again... Is it possible that when we get to that bit there'll be an alternative? Or maybe it just means what it means, PERIOD. Nothing after, no alternative. End. When God was creating the earth and the universe, did He have the end in mind? Was it part of His plan or is it the product of man's folly? I don't know.... I guess only the Most High can fully answer that bit of my questioning. Come to think of it, what will the end be like for me and mine? What about you? Will it be sudden or sequential? What are the plans for any eventuality? Yeah, where am I going with all these questions? I'm asking the same thing.... The scriptures talk about the concept of an end to everything... Now some of us might want to look at it differently But permit me to stick by it; how would we fare when it...
