It has sure been a while since I last posted something. In that time, a lot has happened to me, and to people around me. A dear friend lost two family members within 24 hours, my girlfriend was buried along with her unborn child, I've had my car vandalized...
Throughout all these, the one constant in my life, has been God. If it had not been for Him, I don't know where I would be. It's like sometimes I feel that life is closing in on me. I see huge, dark clouds on my horizon, I feel lost within my own despair and depression, and begin to think there is no tomorrow, that all this sadness will engulf me and turn me into a prozac dependent long term resident of a mental ward in some East End hospital...
Somehow, somewhere, I receive a verse in the mail, or by text, and it speaks to my situation. I do my daily devotions so half heartedly some mornings, and STILL something always stays with me for the rest of the day. That something carries me through that day, and I am grateful because I know that it is God speaking to my situation.
I haven't written in a while because I have been going through a metamorphosis. I feel like I have been 'reborn' Like a new phase has started in my life, and I can't wait to share all the exciting things along this journey. In particular, I had a chat with a man of God the other day, and it was a real eye-opener. It made me think about 'names' and their significance, especially in Yoruba culture. It also made me think of a term in German 'Rufname' which means the name by which you are called -this may not necessarily be your given name- and I to think hard about my 'Rufname' and my given name...
Once I have his express permission to share that chat, I will. Otherwise, I will just write around it. It was very insightful though, so I would love to share with you. Watch this space...

Hi Worshiper,
Some experiences or occurences are sometimes difficult to explain.How can we figure out or discern the intrinsic reason behind these sad happenings.It's touching and sad for someone to lose 2 family members within 24hrs and also lose a loved one with an unborn baby,too sad.But all glory must return to God,we have to thank him always for everthing whether good or bad.He knows best,He's the Lord.
For us to sail through the storm of life,we have to be anchored to the Rock of Ages.
There are some experiences that make me feel psychological down atimes but there is this song that I love singing at such moments it goes thus:
Even though it is so hard to move on
Everybody around me couldn't help
though they promised but they cannnot meet up
even them,they have their own secret pains
I've been long gone,trusting in man
though they tried but they failed
but I am encouraged no hope is lost
I will tell you why....
I have a father that will never never fail me
I have a father who will never never fail me
Jehovah Baba will never never fail me,Rock of Ages never never fail.
Fola,it is well
