Rest on Tosin & Swachet


Within the space of 2 weeks, two of my dear friends went home to be with the Lord. Both of them were same age and their cause of death was similar.

 ****
*TOL (Thinking out loud) :

 "A coffin is usually just a coffin when you don't know who is in it. But when a loved one lies inside, it ceases to be just a coffin, it becomes more than that".
****

 This hit me but I chose not to mourn like the heathens will do. Confident in GOD that I would see them again and acknowledging the fact that there is no failure with or in GOD.

 I'm eternally grateful our paths crossed
I'm thankful for the moments we shared
Although it's sad you departed so soon
I look back with gratitude for the major and strategic roles you played in my life.

 **** *
TOL:
"Everyone GOD has placed in your life is there to fulfill a purpose. They are like bridges that makes it easy to network through life."

 "They might hurt you, get on your nerves sometimes and be sweet at other times. The main thing is to focus on the good in them and cherish the moments you still have together".
****

Tosin and Dorcas were bridges that were used to connect me to major phases of my life.

 Ibadan, HarvestHouse, Public Health etc are major parts of my life till date because I met Tosin. Moments shared during service year and masters will always be cherished dear friend.


And for Dorcas, she has always been in the picture, from Primary school to secondary and ABU; where she introduced me to the right network of friends when I got in. Friends who knew what they wanted and where they were headed. 


**** *TOL:
*Getting it right from the beginning usually goes a long way to determine how you will finish". 

 *The company you keep can make or mar you. Having the right ones keeps you on the right track and vice-versa.
****

They were both amazing, pretty and intelligent young ladies. I can still see their beaming smiles and mischievous looks *smiles*. For what is worth, we take joy in knowing you are in a far better place than we earthlings.
****
*TOL:
"When last did I pray for these two and other friends of mine...hmmm in the name of being busy, we summarize family, friends and colleagues as loved ones while praying forgetting each one has his or her own needs and struggles."
****

 I am guilty also and I have decided to do better!

 Rest on Oluwatosin Odungipe Essien (Nee Ogunsanya) and Dorcas Swachet Onyiowoicho (Nee Kwasau).

 Yspot!

    Jesulobatemi Alagba..you have been a blessing not just to me but to everyone around you. Everyday I thank God for the day I met you cos I can't imagine life without you. You are my special gift from God.  One of the things God told me to learn from you is how to love. I keep learning everyday from your heart of gold, you are selfless and you go out of your way to do things for others. Thanks for been a plus factor in your generation, God will surely reward your labor of love.   Like I normally say, you are the best guy ever cos you love me passionately, you lavish me with gifts generously and you pray for me fervently. I couldn't have asked for more am sooo blessed. HAPPY BIRTHDAY my sweetness! Enjoy God's grace like never before in your business and for global platforms.

Some days ago, I was singing the song "I know my redeemer lives" by Nicole Mullen. As I sang the first line of the song; "who taught the sun where to stand in the morning..." the words hit me and it felt like I was hearing the words of the line for the first time. Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?                                                                                       Pause and think for some minutes… 💭 Did GOD sit the sun down after creating it to explain what is was made to do or that it was expected to rise in the east and set in the west?  Was there a tutor assigned th e responsibility of showing the sun how to rise, how to shine, or to tell the sun the perfect time to set?  or Did the sun require daily reminders to rise in the morning and give warmth and light to the world?  I doubt that..😶 So, if no one taught the sun where to stand in the morning, then how did the sun know where to stand?  Every appliance made or created is wir

Those baby steps are worth celebrating... Be grateful

We all watched as JDee tried to crawl on his knees some days back. Prior to this, he had been doing a great job crawling on his stomach, but the guy just can't wait to walk... Lol. So he keeps pushing himself.  Lessons: *You will always remain at the same spot doing the same things until you push yourself forward.  *Don't stop at the point or place where others think you should and neither should you stop because of factors like your age or your sex, or the fact that no one has ever done it before. You can be the first to break and set a new record. *Keep pushing yourself until you are all you can be.  *Don't let the barriers and mindsets stop you.  Eventually JDee did it... He moved one knee and we all went screaming.  Why did we scream?  *We saw the progress he had made even though, some would consider it so little, but try asking a mum who has been praying for her child to walk after so many years, she would consider that a great a
