Going On

There were days in this year that I felt like the sun had betrayed me by simply rising. Like, did it not know many things were wrong with me, with life, with the world?
And there were days that I didn't understand why some people were unhappy! The world was beautiful! There were many things to be thankful for! How ungrateful they were for not recognizing the beautiful things life released daily!
And that is life. With the ability to present things that makes you feel overwhelmed with gratitude one minute
And the next minute make you feel like hiding under the biggest rock and never coming out
The first day of this year, I captioned my blog post: into the 'unknown', because I believed God alone knew the hidden things in this year. Indeed.
This year has brought a number of losses that has rocked my world. Took beautiful people that meant everything to me and many others
This year revealed the hearts of some people around me in a way that I wasn't ready for
This year has brought a gap between certain people I felt I would spend eternity with
But that is one way of writing the narrative
I can be thankful for the beautiful memories i had of these people before they went away into eternity
I can be thankful for being alive to see this day
I can be thankful for strength, that I went through what was meant to kill me.
I can be thankful for life taking away people who do not belong.
And the many unspoken quiet blessings.
So at this end of year, what can i say?
As long as day and night remains:
Sorrows may come, but joy too shall come.
I am learning to not make quick conclusions based on events or things that happens. To know that a bad day is not a bad life. To know that things would happen that would shake the very foundations on which you rest but to know that I have an Anchor that keeps the soul, steadfast and sure while the billows roll, fastened to the rock which cannot move, grounded firm and deep in my savior's love.
That people would come and go, but that is not the test of my worth. And to know that sometimes the exit of one is to make way for one much better
That it is okay to weep and grieve but to similarly be thankful for all the blessings God brings my way.
That things can turn around in a second, and there is nothing too hard for God, because He directs the course of my life and in Him i live and move.
That i am human and I would make mistakes and some of them would make me feel like slapping my self but to realize that to err is indeed human and to forgive myself and forget and adjust my crown and dare whoever thinks himself the best judge to indeed cast the first stone if they have not made wrong before?
That to know  there is room for everyone to make it,even a dead clock tells a time correctly in a day, and to be thankful when good things happen to people knowing that My time will come also and trust in God's timing.
To remember not to force what doesn't fit, a blessing that is tailor- made, custom designed for me with my name on it is coming.

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...

Cardi and the Pastor's words

Imagine students offering different programs being placed in one exam center to write different papers, but arranged in such a way that one offering medicine is seated next to one offering law and before them another offering engineering with one behind one reading something theologically related. And the person writing law starts drawing on his paper because he sees another student drawing some diagrams even though he has no idea what the diagrams are about. Or a first year law student writing a jurisprudence paper and a first year student writing a one credit language proficiency test seated next to each other. Then the first year student gets offended because he is given an hour to write his test and the other is given three hours. Brother, you are all in the same hall but your papers are not the same. Unfortunately we tend to sometimes have this attitude in life. We have a business that is doing well because we are able to well manage the size of it; then suddenly someone tells...

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 ...
