Hello friends!
Its a joy to be
here again! I have missed you all...and I mean it. I do hope you all have being
doing great!
Let me gist you guys a little!
Yesterday evening,I
was chatting with a childhood friend and we were relieving some fantastic
moments.
We talked about how
time flies,how In just a short while,children grow up and become adults. I was a passionate
dancer as a kid. Dancing was second nature to me. If a world renowned prophet
had told me when I was a kid that I would grow up to become a spoken word poet
and even be part of a team that organizes a SPOKEN WORD POETRY
CONFERENCE(SWPC),I would have CONFIDENTLY told him he was dreaming!
I mean dance was my
life. I danced while cooking,sleeping(I actually learnt how to dance Salsa in
my sleep...I am very serious oo),eating..I attended parties just so I could
dance. I was even the leader of a dance crew back in TREM(my former church)...
Where the hell am I going in all these relieving past memory gist??
Its simple! LIFE IS
IN PHASES AND WE ALL HAVE TO LEARN TO EMBRACE EVERY PHASE AS THEY COME!
A friend of mine
was feeling bad about the fact that his parents wanted him to leave all the beautiful
schools in Nigeria and go all the way to Atlanta to study. He complained about
the fact that leaving his amazing friends wouldn't be cool and that he would
miss all of them.
I did understand his
reasons but I still needed to let him know that it was okay to miss them but he
needed to MOVE ON! And many times,moving on requires leaving a particular set
of people and creating new contacts.
I really and really
do miss all my childhood friends,many of which are scattered all around Nigeria
and beyond. I miss my innocence as a child,I didn't have to think about no
future. Did I even know the meaning of the word future?? Lol.
I miss all the
several phases I have crossed,I will be leaving the teen-age in a couple of
months and I am already missing it,but I AM CHOOSING TO LET GO AND MOVE ON!!!
The truth is;no matter how much I miss my childhood,I DO NOT pray to be a child
forever...God forbid(snaps fingers),or like ibos say,Chukwu aju!
Jesus understood
that he had an assignment to perform on Earth,he also knew that the moment He
clocked thirty-three,he would be very close to that assignment.
His assignment was
a painful one yet He ACCEPTED IT! He ACCEPTED THE WILL OF GOD!
Maybe you are
reading this and just like me,you are dreading a phase of your life that you
are about to enter or have already entered.
Just take a deep
breath and speak these words to yourself; "I am in the plan of God and He
is directing my Life the way He wants it to go. I CHOOSE TO REST IN GOD!"
Whenever I am
entering into a new phase,I have had to say those words over and over again
and God has always being good. He just always takes care of me..irrespective of
where I am.
Wherever you are at
the moment,instead of crying and wishing you were somewhere else,you can practice
Enjoying and MAKING THE BEST OF THAT PLACE! It ALWAYS PAYS!
Please feel free to drop your comments on how you struggled with moving from one phase to another and how you overcame,,,you may never know who your story would be helping...
I LOVE YOU!
