EARLY DROUGHT AND WRATH: Femi Oladele

Sequel, to last Thursday's article, on lateral thinking.

Mighty works he hath wrought; many words he hath spoken.

Why then do I feel there is drought?

HE does mighty things; that is unquestionable.

Why do we take delivery by deliberate action?

Does a father have a need for wrath and/or chastisement?

Even in the eye of the storm, comes the ever challenging drill;

Why are you here?

HE does unspeakable things; and shows it to HIS elect.

Why does HE expect a resounding on rooftops?

After all, we all can get angry and deny ourselves of earthly victuals,

Yet we see HIM place demands through it all.

At the end, when we see HIM, that is if we see HIM.

I have questions that seem like may take forever to answer.

Yet HE chuckles; the answers are in my WORD.

But I retort; I want to hear you say it; I would prefer to wait till then.

HE adamantly insists; isn’t that a repetition? Just let it go…

Now, I see clearly, there was never a drought; yet my wrath made it seem impossible.

My mindset created a veil.

Lift up your heads, O ye Gates…

And I should continue…

And yes, it continues next week Thursday.
Gracias

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

NERVOUS TIME: CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND TIME

Although the nervous system is a pretty tangible mass comprising nervous tissue mainly, and time is quite intangible; there are pretty astonishing facts that they seemingly buttress in spite of their clear differences. Taking a break from our series on hearing right, we observe the astounding similarities between the nervous system’s component, the brain and time. 1. Both offer you a grand choice : You can decide to either fritt away or invest your time, as much as you can choose to waste a large part of your brain while shying away as much as possible from doing anything remotely mentally-exerting. 2. Memory: The common phrase “Time will tell” briefly encapsulates the fact that time really, does manage to bring up decisions, actons, words of the past to stare into our faces. The concept of memory (which time makes use of) isn’t any stranger. Memory storage occurs in the brain; and certainly, in the hea...

FRUSTRATED???

Sometimes in doubt...but never gonna give up! Sometimes life in and out of the world of medicine could be downright frustrating. What do you do in such situations? Simply watch life unfold or what? I don’t know. Really. I wish I could tell you: Be strong! But sometimes, motivational speeches should be shoved down the closet- deep down. Cos they won’t work. So I’d tell you: look to the Lord and his strength, seek him even in the midst of your pain and the storms around you, cos the sun will shine again. It will. Cos God promises it will.
