Tamar a 21 year old fresher comes home driven by a dark handsome man in his early thirties. She seems blown away as she grins from side to side, reluctantly says goodbye and heads for the door.


Tamar : Good evening mum (hugs mum).

Mum : Good evening dear, welcome back. How was school today?

Tamar : School was great, I had fun (she settles into the couch).

Mum : Hmm! I can imagine (winks at her).

Tamar : Mum (mouths at mother)

Mum : Yes, is there something you want to tell me? (Taking a sit beside her)

Tamar : No!!!

Mum : Hmm! (Giving her a suggestive look)

Mum : I don’t mean to pry but I couldn’t help but notice the handsome young man that dropped you off.

Tamar : (Blushes) Well, his name is Joshua, a final year student of law. We met two days ago. He's got big dreams, loves music and travelling just like me. 

Mum : Interesting.

Tamar : He says he likes me (Gives a sigh waiting for a response).

Mum : I see, who wouldn’t love this beautiful lady, a total package.

Tamar : Oh! Mum, that’s sweet (smiles)

Mum : So tell me, do you like him too?

Tamar : I’m not sure (now shy) I think I do, we have things in common plus I like his looks, the way he looks at me plus his words...

Mum: I see.

Tamar : Mum I’m a bit confused here you know, I don’t know if what I feel is right or if he’s the one you’ve always taught me to pray for.

Mum : (Smiles) It’s not that complicated. Come join me make dinner, let’s chat.

Beholding as in a mirror (The power of vision)

Image
And we all with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is Spirit. 2 Cor. 3:18 (NIV) The body is made up of many parts amongst which are sense organs, and these have special features that grant them direct connection to the higher centre. They have in them the capacity to send and receive impulses and one of such is the eye. Having a ‘functional’ eye means you can see and correctly interpret that which is before you.  The word of God calls our attention to something profound that makes for growth and progress and that is the power of vision ; the ability to see, to perceive. It is a principle that enables taking hold of a thing. Through scripture we see God using the power of sight to birth things in the earth realm and communicating the same to people in different dispensations, from Abraham to Moses to David to Jeremiah to the Apostles and the church. And God said, let there be l...

Beyond the white coat

Image
It's been two(2) years of practice as a Medical Doctor and the journey has come in different shades with every experience stretching me beyond the previous limit and pushing toward something better. Medical practice has been a blessing, not that it comes with a lot of benefits but because I get to serve selflessly and see the smile of a patient that gets better. As a reflect today, I wonder if, asides family members and close associates, does the world really see beyond the white coat? Pardon me if I'm wrong, however it seems to me that the world sees a help, a hero/heroine, a doctor, "the favoured specie",  just someone paid to take care of health issues and that person has to be available when needed no matter the timing or circumstance but is that all about us? Do you remember doctors are humans? Do you recognize that they have a life outside work with responsibilities just like you? Do you know the traumas? Do you see the scars? Do you see us beyond the white...

Fear the controller

Image
Fear; False Evidences Appearing Real, whoever defined it in those terms was right. Famous fear, thriving in the mind and exploring the senses; its name sending chills down the bodies of millions maybe billions; a jailer with trophies to its name. As a child I was afraid of the dark, somehow, I was made to believe that there was a nameless monster waiting in the dark to grab me. It was so bad that once it was dark, even with the lights on I wouldn’t go for an errand alone and guess who I carried along? My kid brother. It’s funny right? Yes, it was that bad. Even though over time, I have been able to conquer fear of the dark I have come to realize with time that it wasn’t just that particular fear that had me in its control. Oh! I discovered that there were other aspects of my life that were in its control. For instance, the fear of heights but I think the worst for me was the fear of failure. Seems like a good kind of fear, right? Hmm! I can’t tell the extent to which it affected me...
