RANDOM THOUGHTS ON FATHER FIGURES
BEING A FANTASTIC FATHER: A MIRAGE OR A MILESTONE?
It's Father's Day. That one day dedicated to fathers all across the globe. The other day, I talked about the boy child https://farajacraftcircle.com.ng/blog/the-boy-child/. Today, I want to talk about the man. Yh, every boy grows to be a man. Then a man metamorphoses into a Father albeit not every man is a Father. Being a Father does not necessarily have to do with producing babies from your loins. You may not have done that but yet you are a father. Being a father is work and being a fantastic father is even more work. A father is a man who...
THE 7-HOUR DRIVE
I was firstly amazed at the lineup of Jesus that was everywhere on the 7th of June 2022. Much later when I would lay my hands on the graphics, I realized I couldn't just let it go without commemorating it. I made some posts on Whatsapp and this was what gave birth to the 7-hour drive. If you are an Ajala, the traveler, you would bear me witness that a journey that lasted for 7 hours is not a small one. If you ply the notoriously famous Nigerian roads, your body joints definitely won't tell you Thank you after such...
The Boy Child
I just learned today is for the boy child and I wouldn't let it slip by. Over time, I have realized that I do have a flair for the boy child. This is not to neglect the girl child but I also appreciate the boy child's journey and struggles. I would love to be an advocate for the boy child someday soon. I'm surprised we still have people who do not recognize the fact that the boy child is also human and faces challenges as much as the girl child if not more. I am often shocked when people just...
ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY
It's a brand new day and I feel somewhat nostalgic writing this. This is my 20th blogpost and I can't help but reflect on how the journey all started indeed Rome wasn't built in a day. Amidst the ups and downs, the schedules, the unforeseen circumstances and every other thing in between, the blog is progressing powerfully. No retreat, No surrender! In whatever venture you may be involved in, it won't all make sense at once. It won't be a global rave the first day but you keep at it and see how it will all blossom beautifully one day....
WHO AM I?
Yippie! Yippie!! I'm here again. Told you no more long breaks. So today, our discourse is on the question WHO AM I? Now, this is not a review of Hillsong's rendition. Let's say this is my medium of welcoming you to April😆 Growing up, I heard a lot of awful words around. Everywhere you turn, someone has a terrible name to call another. Mothers do not spare their children nor their spouses, fathers do not spare their family as well, friends have turned it to the norms, and neighbors do not even care. They will say whatever they want to...
HELP! I DO NOT HAVE A FRIEND….
I know you are wondering exactly what this fine picture is doing here and its correlation with "Help! I don't have a friend......." Well, you will soon find out in these few paragraphs of mine. I apologize for this long break. We won't be having any other break this long anytime soon. Amen! Fire!!!😉. So take a look once again at that topic and let's delve into it. Many of us have been on this table time and time again. Some of us are currently seated chiefly at the table. We seem so detached from people and get so worked...
PRESERVED FOR MORE…..
Thank you Lord for giving me Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for preserving all of me. It's a brand new slate and the lyrics above kept ringing In my heart all through the crossover service. I do not even know the song per se. Just that the first line kept reoccurring and verses popped up in me. No one ever invested with the hope of recording losses. It's not done anywhere. This year, the Lord is making you aware that you are being preserved for more. You are not just here to shout Happy New year and eat spicy Jollof....
IS THERE REALLY A WAY AROUND GRIEF?
This has been the question in the heart of many. Is there really a way around grief? Can grief even be dealt with? How do I get this cloak of grief over and done with? The list is endless. It keeps growing as disaster increases. Life wouldn't wait for you. Growing up, 23rd December has always been such a weighty day for me. I get touchy at every opportunity and can't wait for the whole festive season to be over. At least, I'll have my life back. My busy life, that made no room for intrusion. I couldn't have been...
JUST FOR YOU!
You are most likely reading this long like way long after I've written it. Recently, I've gone into a phase where I write, hoard, write, stack, write, wait and well just keep on thinking. Situations do not often go the way you plan. They have this habit of spiralling beyond your control and leave you hanging after balance. You thought you have it all under control, you thought it's all going to be smooth and enjoyable. But no the hiccups stare you in the face and drain every zeal or energy you thought you had. As much as this sounds...
