Amanda took in the sight before her, not that it was a new one but it was a respite from the white and different shades of blue that characterized the pediatric ward and the smell of drugs she had so gotten used to the past few years. As she stared out the window, she still remembered with surprising accuracy the events that led her to this point.

It was four years ago, and she had a picture perfect life, loving husband and a healthy four year old son, they had been trying for another baby as soon as Poju her son had clocked two, all to no avail.

In the company of me

In the company of me, iThink, iGrow, iBuild.

I re-build the broken walls, I weld the shattered pieces of Armour, I mend the torn garments, I treat the broken bones and clean up the wounds from the battle field.

In the company of me, I re-strategize because times and seasons change, paradigms shift, and decisions have to be made at every point in time...

The voice on the inside

They say: time and tide waits for no man,

They also say; slow and steady wins the race

The say: out of sight is out of mind

They also say: distance makes the heart fonder

They say: cut your coat according to your size,

They also say: think outside the box

Friends

Here's to those friends that have stayed over the years, I love you all!

We all have that one friend..

That eats a lot and I mean a whole lot but still remains skinny

We all have that one friend,

That blabs, always talks off point and still laughs at his/her own jokes.

We all have that one friend,

That doesn’t know how to match colours and patterns even though they have nice clothes.

We all have that one friend,

That always has emotional drama no matter how much he/she avoids it

Just trying my hands at goofy poetry! Lol

Philippe, Philippe

I see the stars in the sky

And they remind me of you

They remind me of the sparkles in your eyes when you smile,

The starry night makes them shine brighter

Since you left for Philista

I await your return

Every time I listen to Jeux d’eau

The time-in-between

You know what I think, like seriously, a new course should be introduced to our higher institutions of learning, it should be mandatory for all students, it should be taught for four years and should be taught by those qualified with a lot of years of experience. The name of this course if ‘LIFE 110’. And I’m actually serious. And the course should not be waived; you just have to pass it, if you want to graduate when you’re supposed to.

It actually dawned on me that there are a lot of things that you’d have to figure out on your own in life. Of course, there’s the invaluable advice of parents and well meaning friends and all that, but the fact is that eventually, the decision and choices boils down to you and you alone. You decide if you want to go God’s way or not, it’s actually your choice. This post is actually inspired by a certain funny dilemma I’m in. itz actually funny I tell you.

Randoms…

Hi, this post you’re about to read was written a while back when I was going through a rough patch in my life and I’m glad to say, I’m out of it as a better person. Even though I might have to go through such again, at least I know I’ll make it through no matter what. I initially decided not to post it, cos it really contains personal stuff and it’s not the typical post that should come up here, but then…

So, I decided to post it for two reasons.

      I really hope this post serves as a source of encouragement to at least one person, life is hard enough and we all need some form of encouragement.

      Secondly, I discovered that if you really open your heart and not stay stereotyped about certain things, God can speak to you through any means available. I say this carefully because this shouldn’t be taken as a license to expose ourselves to harmful stuff, *if you know what I mean*…
