Again, I'm praying for you...

 

I'm praying for you, just say amen. (Photo credit: Google)

Hello and welcome to a new week. Today, the goal is not to bore you with plenty of English but to pray for you as you head into the new week.

I pray you to find favor before God and man, such that half effort would look like you’re doing the most. I’ve seen people wonder how it’s clicking for some and they’re missing big time; it’s sometimes not by your speed or might but by the favor of the One that owes us no explanations.

I pray mistakes to leave your path, such that people will not question your intelligence or your credentials; there are times you’ll try so much but a little mistake will make it seem you didn’t go to school or you’re not good enough, I hope you find the strength to say amen.

I pray you the sun at its time and the rain in due season. Both are gifts from nature, but they have to come at the right time, so you don’t end up making a permanent decision from a temporary situation. I know it’s tricky, but I am sure they’re two different things.

I pray you to find the courage to go all out to change the things you’re not comfortable with and the serenity to live with the ones you can’t do anything about. I know how you feel mate, but sometimes you need to choose your battles; ultimately, I pray you to get to know the difference between the two situations.

I pray for you against wasted efforts; it can be frustrating especially when you put in your best and it seems like you’re running against the wind. Strength is one thing, grace is another. I pray you find value wherever you expend energy, may it be worth it in every language you understand.

I know it’s almost that time of stock-taking, and I pray you to have more reasons to be grateful. There will always be dark clouds, but I pray your silver linings don’t come in patches but in abundance, may you have a happy ending to the year much to your delight.

Go have a great week and remember to be kind to people. You will end the year strongly… All will be well. Let the church say AMEN!

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
