Out of the strong..

That morning he spoke about the king that wanted to kill Mary's child, so ordered for a census, compelling the couple to change their schedule, subsequently forcing the lady to give birth at a place where they (the couple), had not intended. What they didn't know and what the king had not intended to do, was to get them at the exact place destined for her to birth her baby.

He said it in his usual fascinating way that I kept laughing listening to him, enjoying it. I didn't know that very day I would be tested.

When I got to the office, the manager said there was to be a reassignment of offices but he may keep me where i was. I told him i was familiar with that place and I wanted to keep being there. Everyone told him to let me stay. He agreed and said Ofcourse.

Mid afternoon he brought a notice. I had been moved. I was annoyed, felt betrayed: you told me you won't change me! Every one told him he didn't do well. He started feeling guilty and said he would reassign me. Good!

Then i remembered the message: they thought they were putting the couple in a position of discomfort but they were actually going where they had to be.

I ran to his office and begged him not to change me. Everyone was surprised, we thought you wanted this. I had changed my mind.

The new office was the best place I could have been, i daresay. Till date i talk about my schedules and laugh at the look of sheer envy that crosses the faces of some people I mention it to.

So don't worry when it seems people are going out of their way to put you in an uncomfortable position. Out of the eater can come something to eat,and out of the strong can sweet things come from.

God has you. Trust

A god’s election.

All the houses that led to the Kansie shrine had no aluminum roofing. The first thing you noticed at the premises were the skull of donkeys in the rocks that housed the shrine. The skulls were kept buried because whenever it was left in the sun, the entire village suffered migraines. Everyone who entered the shrine had to be topless. No one ever returned from Kansie still bearing whatever issue had caused them to enter into it in the first place. This was where recognized fetish priests sought fortification from; and where they directed important people to seek help when they knew they could not handle the situation they brought with them. One had to be parsimonious and ready to do as was directed, because when the gods decided on what sacrifice they wanted, no appeal was heard. The national election was in two weeks and Fynn Aggrey was contesting. This was his second time running and although six others had picked up nomination forms, it was a clear contest between Fynn and Nii A

I want to be like you..,sure?

Just before he entered University of Ghana he was involved in an accident so had to move around with the aid of crutches. During that time, there was intermittent supply of water, meaning he needed to go fetch some for use. His cousin who had been helping him throughout his registration had left after he got his room and bed.  Now there he was, standing in front of the hall, with a bucket by his side, metals in his legs, P.O.P around them and holding his crutches; feeling extremely depressed wondering how he was supposed to function in school without any help; asking himself if he should have just stayed home. But right there, he saw another student walking towards the hall, a visually impaired student, tapping the ground with his cain as he made his way slowly into the hall. He said that was the last time he allowed himself to ever get depressed about whatever situation he found himself in, because as bad as he felt his present situation was, he had so many other things going on for

Madness or Hope?

A few days ago whilst talking to a very special friend and teasing him about how he doesn't seem to 'remember' me when his money comes, he suddenly said; 'okay say what you want, but tread cautiously because if it is not within my budget, you would not get anything at all' I started laughing because I felt like a beautiful trap had been set for me and i could not figure out how to navigate my way around it. Well I was unable to mention anything I wanted. I still haven't been able to. Imagine getting an endorsed cheque, yet blank, from someone with large financial resources and the person asking you to write whatever amount you desired. The only catch is that you should have faith that the person has enough in their account to grant what you write. Yet, you are plagued with the question:'what if I get to the bank and it bounces?' I write these blogs not because I'm always in a perpetual hopeful mood. There are days that I sincerely worry about how
