Fear of the Father

God works in many numerous ways, i never thought that he did be bring me back to him in a Godly manner in army, but he is... and the inspirational figures he puts in front of me is a testament of his never forsaking love for his people. He inspires in unconventional ways. He has stuck my heart strings in seeing that many of the material things of this world is not for us to posses, but for his glorification.The unification of one's heart to a natural higher being is something that cannot be explained, but is something that is experienced. Many times one goes off the beaten track or get too caught up in work, but eventually he reels you in - ''take it slow son'' he would say. All this in this world shall pass, but neither the friendships nor memories shall as i have imparted amongst my people. It is in Him that success, friendships and bonds are created. Neither shall pass through the gates of his throne without his approval. i would say that the greatest gift from God is continual growth. With continual growth one feels that the quantification of this world's wants and needs grow dull and uneventful. i don't know why, but when one engages me in thought and the process - everything fades away. A renewed flame has been lit, I Love God more than i can ever love anyone, i do. God be the glory. Amen.

Satisfaction Has No Standard

You know ever so often one gets so caught up in life. Oh... what if i dont make enough money, what if i am not successful in the future? What if this, what if that.

God has a strange way of telling his children to calm down and slow down to take baby steps and most of all, to take steps in His footsteps.

i recently just came back from my understudy's place along bright hill crescent. What do you know, i managed to see Auntie Joy's work for the first time, not bad i must say. it really instilled the passion back in me for architecture, on how a beam works, how stairs are made, the filtering of light between the columns. i love architecture, i hate the red tape. But i well for one have always thought about the above mentioned of what ifs'. i can clearly state out that if a sudden catastrophe were to strike me or my family, we would not be able to recover and salvage our home. Our home is our joy and our joy lies within the fact that there are happy memories of me growing up in its warmth, the pain and the joys, the falls and the learning. Home. Each person identifies home as in various light, beggars call their alley ways home. Many people for sure call their flats home. each block emanating warmth and comfort that it brings to people.

Would a big house equal big satisfaction? Frankly, think about it? Yes, one's bought a big house, but imagine the cleaning the washing of clothes, the bills and all. That aside... it humbles me to think that i am just afterall just a small speck on this world. Yes i as of all people of every denomination ask for wishes to be granted, dreams to be fulfilled. But ultimately, one has to question, where does it all stop? Its a bottomless pit that goes on forever into the abyss, i ask for one, i grab a branch and pull myself higher, i ask for another, i snatch it. I ask for yet another one, but trip and fall. i try again searching for another branch but to no avail, will you climb another tree? Because deep down inside, you know for yourself that if you took the long climb down the tree, you would have used up all the time left in your life. Many people climb many trees, many not looking or knowing where's the top.

So it begs the question, will you climb down the tree of life, or just be satisfied? You're already 21 metres up and counting. will you take the leap or just be satisfied?
