HOLDING THE CHAINS OF BEFORE!

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!
