My Thoughts about 2012

I guess going back to work before the new year excitement and break begins is actually a good thing...as it gives the time to soberly reminisce on the lives we have lived and the life ahead of us..... hehe my heart just skipped a beat!

I remember this time last year, I did a piece on the times and seasons of 2010, and I said "I had from a young girl become a lady, who has loved and has been loved..." lol, can't believe another year has since passed. Hmm 2011... no doubt a great year, a year of deep thoughts, a year of dreams,a year of mistakes, stumbling, but in the end, a year of retracing of steps, finding of paths... in essence a year of the Lord's mercy.

I don't wanna dwell much on 2011, as I am much more excited about what 2012 holds... Some already say its going to be tough, but I say its the year of the Lord's favour (Isiah 61:2), where dreams will become reality and destinies will be fulfilled. I want to believe that its the year for you and I to become our dreams, fulfill our purposes and bless lives around us. I know its much more easier to be an average person;to come to this world, live and then leave (believe me, I feel like opting for that sometimes), but its much more fulfilling to be an extraordinary person; why don't you be the person who helped feed the hungry, or the person who cared for the motherless, why don't you be the person who brought succor to the hurting, or the one that taught the uneducated, my point is why don't you be extraordinary?

Let's look forward to 2012 and acknowledge the power within us, let's count down the remaining days to 2012 and acknowledge the purpose for which we were made,let's with faith take each day until 2012 and acknowledge the task ahead of us. I don't know what will happen if/when fuel subsidy is removed, I don't know if the government has any plans for us, I don't know if finally a functional transformer will be brought to my neighborhood (lol)... what I do know is that in 2012, we've got to stick with God, we have to touch lives, we have to love freely,we have to smile more and we have to reach out to people around us who watch us with deep and unspoken hopes in their hearts, who look to us for their futures and hope that somehow we might play a relevant role in their own pursuit of happiness, who believe in us even more than we do ourselves, who see a leader in us even beyond what we might want to accept... who can put their lives on the line believing that we can change the world...

If along the way you have any doubts about 2012, just remember that regardless of any situation, it is the year of the Lord's Favour... Happy New Year In Advance

My Daily Bread

The body of a goddess...that's how I thought of her. With shoulders slightly broad; making you think of just the right amount of comfort, narrowing down to her waist...the tiniest I had ever seen....then the roundness of her buttocks, with a firmness that made you want to grab them hard. Watching her undress was pleasurable, caressing every part of her with my eyes, taking time to linger on all the right places...a goddess amongst men. She stepped into the bathroom, leaving me eagerly waiting for her reappearance. I wanted to have her now...I shifted to ease the pain throbbing in the bulge between my legs. I waited patiently for her return...longest moments of my life. Ah!!! there she was. I felt like prancing on her like a Lion on heat, but I had to wait...I knew I had to wait. I did not want to scare her off, that's why I had to be discreet - even while watching her. I looked at my time; 6.25am - it was almost time, five more minutes and he would be gone. I had watched them...

Impacting your world...

Just yesterday night I was watching CNN Heroes and I saw so many young people with great potential of their own who have so few opportunities to explore or express it. Still, they bravely persist in striving to make their mark on the world, even in contexts of deprivation and conflict. In the course of our lives we have the opportunity to meet and possibly interact with people who’ve made measurable impact in the world, including well-known experts, authors, researchers, journalists, scientists, innovators, business geniuses, and entrepreneurs. Yet among these world influencers are also everyday people who have found a special niche in which they’ve contributed at the highest level. It’s critical to note that people who’ve made a real difference aren’t all privileged, advantaged or “special” people. Many have come from disadvantaged families, and crushing circumstances, but have found ways to pick themselves up and rise above their circumstances (and their genes) to transform their o...

The Acknowledgement

Like from a distance, I could hear my mother’s cry…more like wailings. She sounded like a wounded lion that was going to scream her heart out, as she repeatedly screamed my name… Adeola! Adeola! Adeola!! Unshaken I stood there staring at the body of my father….or at least the man who used to be my father, until a few minutes ago. I willed myself back to the room and the activity around me…the lifeless body of my father lay on the bed, with a knife poking out of his chest. The crimson color of his blood gradually taking over the once ash colored pajamas he wore. I had just stabbed my father in the chest…with a force ad precision that left no room for his survival. ******************************************************************************** The sound of the bell rang through the long corridors signifying the time for counseling sessions. Reluctantly I got up from my bed, dragging through the process of wearing my flops and throwing my shirt on. Buttoning up with the speed of a...
