#FaithSeries: I am Tired

    
       Confusion strangled me
       Pain fortified its fingers
       Where do I go from here? I thought
       The soldiers of my heart argued in haste
       Do I let it out or not?
       Do I let out the secret tears welled up within me?
       Do I let out my anguish and internal torture?
       Do I let out the ineffective ‘you'll be fine’ 
       I constantly fed myself with
       Oh! How much of it I thought I could bear
       The images of the scenes flashed through my eyes
       Just as the battle became fierce
       The doors of my heart were forced open
       I watched as confusion and pain stood amazed
       And deserted me
       And streams of peace overwhelmed me
       Let pain out

Are you going through hard times and you feel you are alone and no one would understand the exact way you feel? Okay, maybe you are tired of bottling it all in and you are at a point where you cannot take it anymore. Let pain out. 

How? You may ask.


Know this, it is not over yet. That situation will end in praise. TRUST GOD (Proverbs 3:5-7) even when nothing makes sense. Continue to worship and praise him in ADVANCE! Don’t let the situation steal your joy. Remember, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him… (Isaiah 53:5). So, let pain out. Tell it to Jesus. (Matthew 11:28-30)


Also, talk to trustworthy and experienced counsellors who can give you sound and genuine advice. But know this, the decision to move on is yours. Only you can decide to accept the help of God and those He has placed around you to see you through these times. Choose LIFE. Choose JOY. Choose PEACE. Choose JESUS.

WE MOVE

2020! Quite an unprecedented year. I am sure you have stories and experiences that shaped your life this year. I do too. Alot. For some, 2020 was a roller coaster. One minute everything was 'normal', the next minute, there's a pandemic that makes you think twice before hugging your neighbour and which declares a face mask an essential 'accessory'. These persons focused on taking one day at a time because of the unprecedented nature of the year. For others, 2020 was the year of their dreams. They were able to implement plans and achieve their goals. The lockdown helped them reflect on their lives and take the necessary steps in the right direction. Did you  just say 'abegggi'?...hold on! Irrespective of how 2020 was for you; good,  bad, 'in between' (yes, this category definitely exists), accept the fact that we can not go back to January 2020 to change things or re-start the year. The only option is to MOVE forward. Now, in mo...

I'M BACK!

Image
2021 has been an eventful year so far! I know it's been a minute. Errrrr, maybe more than a minute. It's been 11 weeks!😂😂😂  I resumed in January 2021 to complete my training at the Nigerian Law School. The pandemic extended the academic calendar and so, I had to use the remaining time judiciously. Rounded off my bar exams last week. Thank God for everything, honestly. I. AM. BACK. 😊 Watch out for amazing and inspiring contents on academics, faith, and lifestyle. I have plans to share my academic journey from the University to Law School with you especially the lessons I learnt and tips I believe will be helpful for undergraduates and aspirants to the Nigerian Bar and so many other amazing contents. I think the appropriate question at this point is:    Thank you for saying YES! Pheyy. 🤗

#YoursTruly03: OLD PLAYLIST

Image
                      I love music. I think that is an interesting fact about me because no day passes without music being a major part of my 24 hours. I have a thing for lyrics and beats too. Once it blesses, edifies and inspires me, there’s a playlist for it. Some days ago, my entire last added playlist rearranged itself. I was like “who sent this one message” at the beginning because, my newly downloaded songs were lost in the crowd of my very long list. But, I realized that some of the songs I was seeing were my jams back in the day.  It’s a cycle. The least played song on your playlist was once the song on repeat and there was a time when that song resonated with your entire being.                 Infact some songs reminded me of some challenges I had passed through at a particular phase of my life. What about the ones that were always on repeat during study ...
