Back to Source

I came across the  purpose of a certain blog sometime ago: Your daily source of signal in a world full of noise.
How true! It is most easy to be distracted by the many things that is thrown your way as you try to navigate this life. Distractions from workplaces, schools, the streets, our homes and even the church.
We live in an era where everyone is talking. and everything seems to catch your attention.Day in day out people share their opinions on different matters and by virtue of technology we come across stuff we probably did not even go searching for.

When you have so many things being thrown your way, one of the things you may easily do is to lose focus. Some times you may not necessarily lose focus but you may give priority to things that do not matter,to the detriment of those things that do.
You may so admire that business your friend is involved in or the platform another has , and in trying to adopt certain things from them end up practically becoming a clone of that person and thus forgetting Your original assignment you set out to accomplish.
Other times life becomes  so 'easy' we forget to give credit to the giver of life without whom we would not even be here.
When people begin to progress, they tend to forget where they are coming from and who directed them or even held their hands to get there.
Some people typically remember others only as and when they are 'useful' to them and they carry this same attitude to their God.
There was a time when you prayed hours to get a job, a scholarship, a husband, a contract. In the midst of living the blessing which was once but a prayer, we totally forget the source of that blessing.

Today I want to remind you to take a deep breath wherever you are,be still and let yourself remember some people who have been a source of major blessing to you. Someone who offered a smile when everything seemed bleak, someone who bothered to stop and  check on you, someone who offered you a snack, and go check on them. You would be surprised what they are probably going through and how grateful they will be to hear from you.
But before that remember to Go back to your original source, God, and be grateful that He brought you here and still keeps you.

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 ...

So What?

Have you found yourself doing something that you knew wasn't really 'right' or even downright wrong but you loved it so much that you damn all consequences and just live in the moment? Or when you really feel guilty about doing something but you refuse to even ask for forgiveness about it because you know even before you say Amen that you will do the exact same thing again as soon as you get the opportunity to? I don't know about you but I have. There are some things that honestly I have attempted 'negotiating' with God to give me a pass on, while I gather strength to overcome lol. You may pass your own judgment on this and say 'then you are not really sorry or you don't want to let go enough'. Ok, Most Strongest, when I grow up I want to be like you and be able to easily let go of things that i need to without even a little struggle. But you see the truth is that it is not entirely surprising that people have a certain response to situations that ...
