Wait For Me Dear.

I felt like it's the end of the road for me,I lay on the ground watching the sky.'I can't wait any more'.A thought crossed.The pressure for pleasure is immense.'After all she could be the one'. Another thought.I wasn't ready for another confused quiet moments and so I choose to try something different as a relaxer.I pick a book by Kay Arthur,'With an Everlasting Love',It's just what I need at such a time.Perfect.

Christianna is a young Lady who is betrothed to Joshua,a man whom she has never met but sent his betrothal request via his servant.Because of the word that run across the entire nation of  Joshua's influence and power she couldn't resist but wait patiently.Joshua is said to be the most loved son of the king and every lady and their parents could have wished their daughters be married by him.His Love for her was unconditional...One day Chritianna met Cosmo who shows him material love,ever present for him,hugged her gently and finally overwhelmed by his romance she gives in and loses her precious fruit of purity.Cosmo then disappeared.


The trumpets started ringing.Christianna is remorseful,weeping and being haunted by her actions.She knows that it must be Joshua.Talk of fragrance and beauty that came along with Joshua,it's the most beautiful scene all those who gathered had ever seen.There came Joshua,indescribably handsome,..he entered the room to meet the bride,she was still weeping.The touch with his hands sent her shivering,it's the best feeling ever,She hated Cosmo and cursed him.Then Joshua gently opened the veil in her face,looked at her and said,'I love you Christianna,..if  only had you waited for me'.

Well, the story is an allegory of Christ,If only we can wait for him honestly adhering to his teachings and be guided by Holy Spirit rather than our flesh.
But,it got me thinking of our love relationships.We meet Cosmo who are the romantic,wealthy and great looking ladies and gentlemen of our times.All they are after is the short term pleasure of a moment then puff!,that is the last time you will hear from them,they leave us with scars.

If I seek in my heart daily to make a commitment of strength,hope and patience of not rushing for a now and then gratification,keep the best for Joshua,love them with all that I have even  before meeting them,plan for our future,pray for them...It sounds easy but practically it isn't, but it's possible.
When we meet, it will be a small heaven on earth.You were the ultimate reserve for me,and I was yours forever.When Joshua opens the veil he smile and say, "I Love you,thanks so much for waiting'...Elsewhere,the preacher,"You may now kiss the bride". Fireworks!

Part I:Son..Daddy Loves You.

Son, When I was a young boy,before teenage,there were things I missed doing and enjoying,but as a statement goes,what you don't know doesn't hurt you.I  didn't know what I missed until I got a chance to be a little bit older  and realized,"That must have been a fun and adventurous activity". Well,I enjoyed the freedom of doing anything I wanted to do as long as I wasn't going to bring trouble to the parents.I liked this.Unfortunately there wasn't exposure to do much,as I can see now and long for,if I had a chance.I blame no one for this,but I have resolved to give the best to you. It's a pity to see how many rushed into starting families and they were not able to sustain them. Their end up causing pains to innocent children via divorce,separations and all manner of violence. I want the best environment for you,one that will expose you and help you explore all you potential As I wrote down this thoughts,I hadn't met your mum,I was still ...

Goodbye Employment

Image
There comes a time when you have to make a choice between the ideal reality and the real reality. Every day we make  choices that will make us who we will be tomorrow.In fact our today is as a result of our yesterday choices and it goes without saying that our tomorrow will be as a result of today's choices. Some times back in my 3rd year of study in Campus my room mate asked me why I'm studying.Without much thinking I told him,'I'm studying to make myself unemployable'.I hadn't understood what's all the fuss over with employment but I can now guess a few things being faced with such a situation of whether to look for a job or not.Employment is secure because at the end of the month one is assured of a salary to foot off the bills.Job gives one a higher social status.It also offers a career growth. Having gone through the curriculum,one is faced with several alternatives;Get into trying their hand in business by applying the skills they learnt,Get a j...

Gentlemen Need this...Ladies Require too.

Sometimes back the concept of tall,dark,rough and handsome was very popular among ladies,whereas the figure eight was the,'wa-wa-wa' among men.It was a narrow perspective towards hooking up with ones partner but times have changed.The celebrities were hailed and everyone wished they were their fiance',but we all know how their  lives are behind the scenes and we dread it.Men were the providers of the house,but we live in a world where your woman could be earning more than you and retrenchment is a common scenario.Emphasis on equality places us almost on the same level. The enormous question is where has the focus shifted too? Young informed people are no longer viewing life from a 1D perspective but rather,in fact,they are only limited by 3D,they could dissect their partners to-be even further.When we realize that life has more than what we can see and feel,we get critical and approach it from a  wider angle.The earlier we realize this the better. So what are we sup...
