Today I choose YOU!!!

Today i choose to wait
      It may not be the popular or conventional choice,
 but your plan Q is far better than my plan A** anyday.
Today i choose to hope
      It can only be delayed it can never be denied. 
It is within your power to turn things around in my favour.
Today i choose to love,
       Its only in His nature that I can understand His fullness and 
live the life He has called me to.
Tempest raging, fires flaring with earnest yearning, I wait for your salvation.
 You are the anchor to my soul, my hope and stay.
                                                                       - Me.

 Had quite a number of pendulum moments this weekend and I had to keep reminding myself that head or tail I win not because I can, but because that is the life I have been called to and you have been called to the same life. Signed sealed and delivered.

 "Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world"

 One thing I could take home from a dear friend's birthday party apart from the lovely food, music, drinks, fellowship was 
" The Lord gave us to free will to choose to serve and love him,
   the commendation comes only from loving Him as if we are compelled to. That's His love"

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...
