FROM GREY’S ANATOMY

Of course, I watch Grey’s Anatomy. What’s funny that I started not so long ago. And trust me, I’ve gotten so into it that I barely go a day without seeing an episode. Their love lives, I must confess, however, attract me more than their lives as medical professionals…or is it the intertwined assortment/blend? I guess it is.
The vital lesson this series has taught me is that not all happily ever afters eventually end up becoming “happily ever after” and that not all sweethearts/connected lovebirds make it to the end. That’s funny, ain’t it? Coz I thought love was supposed to be enough.
I was particularly baffled when I learnt that Izzy left Karev- after how much he stood by her when she had cancer! I haven’t even seen the episode and my heart is already breaking at the thought.
Well, back to the point: Not every love story will last, it’s simply a fact. And while it’s not a fact that makes me happy, it’s one that makes me cautious.
A relationship- and consequently marriage, isn’t only built on feelings- and even love; I used to think that love was the ultimate, until I discovered that actually, acceptance of love supersedes mere love- in EVERY respect. For example, the fact that Christ died for us all doesn’t guarantee eternal life for all occupants of the earth; it is only true acceptance of this fact and consequent consecration of one’s life to him that guarentees true salvation (Rom 10:9).

Yes, I believe in love. However, love alone is insufficient to bring about the desired change we anticipate; either in relationships or otherwise.

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.

#PROSE MONDAY# THE LINE

There is an arbitrary line, which once you cross, you know in your heart that you can’t step back. This is for those of us who have crossed that line and now, are somewhere betwixt full fruition and total loss… ‘If I did not dream, it would have been acceptable, If I didn’t nurse these thoughts to maturity, I would be flawlessly faultless, And if I had used adequate contraception to intercept this zygotic dream, this musing would be absolutely unnecessary, But the truth is, right now, I have lost the right to give up and as a matter of necessity, I have to reach the other line- the finish line. In and out of the labour ward, that has to be my future route. Now whether or not there’d be an after party, that’s seemingly irrelevant. Provided my baby is born! And although, like hyperbaric oxygen, the O ₂ of fierce thoughts roll through  my mind at an extremely high pressure, I have to stand. And yet, if a lumber puncture is done on my mind, there is a si...

RESOURCEFULNESS

We all have about 6 needs, which we have to uncover, not necessarily create: ·          CERTAINTY ·          UNCERTAINTY ·          SIGNIFICANCE ·          CONNECTION & LOVE ·          GROWTH ·          CONTRIBUTION, WHICH IS BEYOND OURSELVES The first 4 needs don’t necessarily bring about fulfillment but the last two do. You can have all the comfort/certainty in the world and still remain unfulfilled. You could even switch over to variety i.e. uncertainty-yes, you’ld get adrenaline pumping through your veins, but it’ld be temporary. Significance? We all try to find significance, be it through achievements or by gaining recognition as one thing or the other. Connection is a beautiful thing and love is very accepting, irrespectiv...
