About 2
years ago, in 2016, I made a personal decision to explore my purpose in this world.
You see, something really puzzled me. I was living life on the fast lane…..dangerous,
reckless and carefree….but something was keeping me from harm. I was alive and
healthy, but my soul was bleeding and broken. I was at a crossroads; almost all
relationships had lost meaning, I was tired of my job, living life on the fast
lane wasn’t giving me any excitement, I was hurting people left right and center……..I
was losing my soul.
Then one
day I just decided enough is enough, I needed a fresh start. I needed a total
overhaul of my life, and to do that, I needed to strip myself down into pieces,
stand back and examine those pieces, gather what needed to remain, discard the
rest, acquire what was missing, and finally piece myself back together. For me
to achieve this, I knew I needed outside help. I therefore turned to the only
source of hope I knew….GOD. It had to be Him keeping me alive, and if indeed it
was Him, then I wanted all He had to offer. For 2 years I’ve held on to God
like my life depended on it….actually my life did depend on it for I was not
alive, I was just existing…living a completely meaningless life.
To cap it all, I lay down my life and cried
out to Him……and right there, at His feet, I found my life. It’s been an amazing
2 year journey, and I know it can only get more interesting. I have found
clarity beyond what I ever thought imaginable. I have discovered the true
meaning of love, humility, forgiveness, peace…..I found God. I am still
struggling with some things from my past life, but they are work in progress.
Anyway, I’ve
been wondering how best I can be of service to God, how to thank Him for
restoring my soul, then it came to me. Why not start with writing….something I’ve
enjoyed since I was a child. But what do I write about?? Just share your
spiritual journey….a journey so intense and full of challenges. But ultimately
a victorious sojourn.
About a
year ago a good friend of mine, Dr. John
Ayodele, a keen follower of my political posts on facebook, started nudging me
to start a political blog. After a while, seeing that I wasn’t taking any
action despite his push, he went ahead and started a blog on my behalf. Now he
began pushing me for content…..but I just couldn’t feel it inside me to write……..That’s
until this week when all my thoughts have been directed to writing, but not
about Jubilee or NASA, not about NYS or mercury sugar, not about hustlers and
2022…..I wanna write about GOD and how He’s been good to me. I wanna tell the
world how He’s transformed me. I JUST WANNA PRAISE HIM FOR HE HAS BEEN GOOD TO
ME.
I only pray
that my words shall inspire someone to take the journey that I set on 2 years
ago, and discover the beauty of God’s amazing grace.
