I shared this sentiments with a good friend of mine a couple of weeks ago, after my move out of home. It was supposed to be an exciting period for me, but incidences and circumstances can take a tremendous turn sometimes. Your introspection somewhat feels like an emergency surgery from discovery of ‘internal bleeding.’ That’s how I’ve felt for a while, like I was to be worked on or else I’d lose my mind or eventually myself. And so I wrote to a dear friend who out of the usual did something for me that to date remains priceless. Something that reminded me, why I call a countable few, my friends. It wasn’t almost 10 minutes later, that she rang me. I couldn’t respond because I was held up in a meeting. So when I got home, with a smile managing to form on my face knowing it took a lot of courage to face the day, she called me back. Frankly sp...

One of the greatest tragedies is going through life with someone for a lengthy period of time, only to be told, at the quest for clarity on who you are, that you were only but… a friend. Ouch! I have been there, on a few occasions actually (story for another day) and to be honest, it broke me more than the first time, every time.

It could be a friendship, a relationship, a business plan, anything… you are required to define it from the start. A little research would reveal that the word ‘definition...

It is not every day that you will walk in victory. With progress comes new opportunities to confront truth. Truth is not always sweet; it can be painful. I find that boldness teaches you not only to live in your truth but confront and deal with the painful parts too. It is the only way progress is actualized; when you are transformed and when you’re able to step up and step out in God. An inventory on my life brought to the surface that I suffer from an interesting type of insecurity; it is insecurity in my relationship with God. Perhaps you do too and didn’t know until you finish this post so please keep reading. Friendship with Lord, just as friendship with any human being is a privilege. A friend, according to the Webster Dictionary is defined as “a person you know, like, and trust; an acquaintance, an associate, one allied with you in a struggle, a comrade, a supporter, and one fighting on your side.” God is, or I should say ought to be our friend for life.
