Lighting another candle

There is a tendency for everybody to feel that they know you. Many times everybody, yes everybody falls into that deception that they can figure another human out. But at the end of the day, nobody can ever be explained away. If not there wouldn't be any element of surprise, no magic, no miracle and no life. The earth would have been full of zombies graded by a particular system. Evolution, seasons and times would not exist. But as long as they are fashion trends, cultural changes and evolutions, life as we know it would continually be one evolving beauty, constantly changing and moving.
As you meet people try to listen to them you will discover that they are not as bad as they seem.
Quite a number of times you will have run ins with scum bags and schmucks but at the end of the day you will miss very important experiences,people and friends because you didn't listen.
Sadly enough they will never be great not because dont have it in them to be great but because it was only you that had the midas touch at that time.'
A wildfire is just a waste of heat, light and everything else that comes its way. It cant cook a meal, illuminate a dark place or offer warmth to a freezing child on a cold night. Everybody will be trying very hard to put it out. Is light good? Oh sure. Is heat needful? Ofcourse. But of what use are you if you are useless to everybody else.
All the world greats have someone that is a part of their crew because at a time when no body else saw them. That one person listened and saw the greatness in them.
You can be that one person if you take out time to listen.
Have a great day people.

My Gratitude Journal

Today I have decided to switch things up a little bit. I want to thank you for testimonies that seem like a lie. All of them are a result of your goodness and benevolence to me and mine. Especially in this season where people are judging the seasons if their lives by what is being said on the NEWS and in the stock market. I judge your faithfulness by the goodness I have enjoyed in and out of season. My cruise of oil has not run out neither has my barn of wheat dried up. You have been faithful and good in every area of my life. This picture depicts the condition of my heart, joy, gratitude and nothing more. God is dependable.

Love notes to my friend

          First time I crossed from Lungi, a local boat on the shore I have just realised that every time something happens that should give me a reason to be sad, God always gives me an assignment to look forward to. Kind of reminds me of the scripture that says forgetting the things that are behind, I press on to the mark of the high calling. Emotions are not the truth. God's word is true. Know this and know peace. This is me publicly declaring Lord I am grateful for everything we have gone through together in 2021. I judge you faithful because you have helped me and kept your promise to me over and over again.

Plasas!

That's what everything is called here. As long as the food has some kind of liquid it is plasas. From Okro, Egusi, Spinach, and Vegetable soup, everything is plasas. Imagine my surprise when I felt I was making giant strides in my krio language class: only to learn that all the exotic soups we struggle to classify back home are all shipped into a bowl called plasas. Are we commonizing the goodness and faithfulness of God? Are we trivializing the daily miracles we enjoy? You are not medication dependent, institutionalized or incarcerated somewhere but, you don't seem to find a reason for gratitude? I think you make just have a case of plasas syndrome. It has been raining back to back here, and I was complaining. Looking at this picture I took a few months ago, gratitude wells up from inside my heart for many things 1. Life to be able to witness the changing seasons 2. Eyes that can see the breathtaking view  3. The mental faculty to understand and enjoy what my eyes see. When ne...
