“Lord, help me cross. Lead me through.”

King Solomon certainly wasn't playing when he said in Ecclesiastes that life is hevel. It is often translated as “vanity,” but the original Hebrew carries the idea of something like a vapor, breath, or mystery. Something elusive. Something you cannot quite grasp.

Life is an “Lord, help me cross. Lead me through.”

Life is an enigma.

It is designed in such a way that sometimes, the harder you try to make sense of everything, the more questions you seem to have. You think you've finally figured something out, and then life changes the equation again.

Recently, I had been hanging on by a thread. It was one of those chaotic seasons where everything felt uncertain, overwhelming, and slightly out of my control. I was talking to my coach about it, trying to make sense of everything, and he said something that stuck with me.

He said, “You don't have to understand everything. You just have to keep walking.”

And somehow, that was enough, because maybe faith isn't always having the map. Maybe sometimes, faith is trusting the One who has the map.

There are seasons when God will not explain the entire journey to you. He will simply give you enough light for the next step. Enough grace for today, enough strength to cross this particular river.

And I think that is what I am learning in this season.

I don't need to know how everything will work out. I don't need to have every question answered before I move. I don't need to understand the entire plot to trust the Author.

I just need to keep saying,

“Lord, help me cross. Lead me through.”

Because if He brought me this far, He knows how to get me to the other side.

So, dearest reader, if life feels confusing right now, if you're hanging on by a thread and everything seems chaotic, breathe.

You don't have to figure it all out tonight. Just take the next step, and when you cannot see the way, ask Him to lead you through.

After all, sometimes the greatest evidence of faith is not knowing where the road ends, but trusting the One who walks it with you.

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...
