 DREAMS

“A poem written by I and my favorite girl, Oluwatimilehin Awojobi”


Lost in the shackles of thoughts,

Can I really become big in just a day?

My hands are busy,

ready to birth a nation that I've successful crafted in my mind.

A dream to become successful,

Keep revealing itself every day and night

I want to be great! I want to be a big star among stars! 

Can this dream really come true? 

Yes! Life sucks! I became scared

Will this dream fade away?

Fear, confusion and doubt griped my tender dream!

Will my sweet dream be achievable?

Just in; determination showed me the path!

Hardwork! a bedrock to success,

Backed up with hope that cannot be uttered,

Oh yes, I'm on the Journey to greatness!

Even when life throws stone at me,

My left hand turned it back cause I need to stand fit,

"I will overcome" became my morning diet,

No hope is lost;bright light will shine soon.

No one made a move to get out, since we’ve all paid for the ride. Even as the temperatures rose in the small car, everyone just sat there patiently as if nothing was wrong. Argh! I couldn’t take it anymore. I could see the frustration growing on our driver's face as he kept trying different things. Finally, I leaned over to  my colleague and said "If we don't ditch this car now, it will get dark before we get home today." So we got off the taxi an...

YOUR RELUCTANT SELF

YOUR RELUCTANT SELF (A MUST READ FOR YOUNG ADULTS) We all experience moments when our reluctant self tries to hold us back or lead us astray without us fully realizing it. Recently, I faced same thing.  Stay with me,  My mum asked that I help out with some couple of work at home. That exact moment I was in bed, just resting. I wasn’t exactly sleeping when she entered my room and listed the things I had to do. My initial response was that I felt weak, though I didn't truly feel that way at the time. I was so reluctant to get off bed that I had to tell her that. Later in the day, when I was ready to do my duties, I was so weak that I struggled through my tasks as the weakness I spoke into being took hold. Yes! I regretted my actions! **** Then, The Holy Spirit revealed an important lesson to me, that agreeing to the suggestions of our reluctant self gives those words power over us. It made me understand how easy it is to blame outside factors like God not answering prayers when ...
