God

Is it just me or does everyone go through phases in their Christian walk where they doubt God? Doubt the existence of God, doubt the validity of the stories passed down to us in the Bible? Doubt our understanding of the scriptures seeing as they have been translated multiple times over…surely something could have been……

Pines of a first heartbreak

“Baby, please… no” Shards of glass pierce my soul/ glass from the carnage of our goals, hopes and dreams Baby I love you. Facing this world seems so daunting without you. Without you to talk to/ and rant to/ and pour my love onto It’s crazy how much of a factor you were in my……

impressions

Lately I’ve been pondering the question of beauty. & no, not in stupor of self-degradation or in quest to attain a boy’s attention. Pssht!

Nothing Without You.

I want death. Death to this world. Death to the things of this world. Disconnect from the elements. Unpluged from the carnality. Resist physicality. I want God. I want life unto God.

I cling to the hope that Africans will love themselves. Love each other. Whenever I have a conversation with someone pertaining to answering the question as to why Africa is the way it is, among other things, the most potent reason we come up with is, what i call, the ‘Man for himself’ policy.

This is probably the first time many people have heard this word: Negritude. Negritude: “the affirmation or consciousness of the value of black or African culture, heritage, and identity” I believe the concept of a conscious and awakened mind is one we should all strive for. However, even more strive worthy , is the concept……

Bundles of nerves.

So this week, i had a school production, wherein i was singing, & i must say it was one of the most scariest things i have ever had to do. I was just a bundle of nerves before i hit the stage, and the sheer magnitude  of the force by which i had to sing,……

The power of truth thinking!

So i know this is a bit confusing, because you’re used to it being positive thinking and not truth thinking. What’s the difference you may ask? simple. Truth thinking is thinking according to what the word of God says about you! So, times are for sure gonna come when you feel low, feel ugly, feel……
