There is a rest

sparklingoracle

With sight of the raging storm Trepidation rising with every heartbeat The burden getting heavier The Journey steeper But at the verge of giving up I look to the hils And behold the light of his glory The bright assurance of his presence The burden is not lifted But I am given strength to carry on His gentle voice assures me of his love And I smile knowing there is a rest at the destination The beginning was ugly The Journey is rough But the end will bring fulfilment Continue reading There is a rest

sparklingoracle

From the title, you would know that there is reason to run. There are many things I’ve seen, some good and some bad but the sight from this morning’s tragic incident was disheartening.   It was about 1:30am on the morning of 2nd June, 2008 when Timothy stepped in and asked if we smelt smoke, I didn’t smell anything neither did any other person so we acted like he didn’t exist until 20 minutes later, it really was unbearable, it was obvious that something was burning up. Then Edu came in and told us that the supermarket across the road just … Continue reading Fire Fire fire ………..

Behind the Curtain.

sparklingoracle

Sometimes in Life, good things happen to us and we just have to rejoice, celebrate, have fun and do everything we possibly can to feel good about ourselves coz we’ve achieved something. I had reason to be happy yesterday coz what happened to me was a miracle, but behind the celebration and happiness. Sadness was lurking. The good was like a forerunner for the bad because the bad only manifested itself after the miracle. Now I can only hope for another miracle to get out of the mud. Just when i thought everything was ok, just when I felt fulfilled, … Continue reading Behind the Curtain.

I haven’t been here in a thousand years, been too lazy to update. Not that i don’t have what to write about, but i think procrastination has had the better part of me lately. Still striving violently to gain admission into a college. In Nigeria, things like this are close to impossible. These past experiences have taught me many lessons. I still believe i want more from life, i get that feeling that I’ve gotta be some great guy, but don’t know how to go about it. I know i’m gonna do a lot of things, but somehow i need … Continue reading Living my life
