For 3 great, great things

O God, the Lord that brought me here

For being my Guide, the One in all

The only God who lives above

And says the things He wants to do

None of which will not be done

I choose this space and day and time

Three great, great things to thank You for:

Oluwatosin, who completes me

And adds much meaning to my life

Oluwasemiloore, the real 'big girl'

The child of the God of Psalm 50

And me, of course, a local boy

Whom you're leading to be great!

So much for 30 days

Exactly 30 days ago today, I took the riskiest step of my life so far. One that will define my essence for the rest of my life. It's very personal and highly costly so it's only natural for me to take account as I move along. What I stepped into will occupy me for the next 3 years, and toady the first month ends...

I look behind and count the days

"When did these pass?" I ask myself

And then my answer came,

so frank yet calm and still:

"When you were climbing up and down

Taking steps both right and wrong

Those 30 days took them all in

And passed the way of those before;

For pass they must - and go they will

if you have not planted in them."

O Lord my God help me I pray

In every day something to plant

That even though the day does pass

It grows my seed, that I may reap

Hmm...so much for 30 days!

It all begins somewhere..

Whether it's the building of a house or the construction of a bridge;
Whether it's the birth of a child or the death of an aged;
Whether it's the realization of a dream or the killing of one
It all begins somewhere.

The journey of a thousand years, the saying goes
Begins with a step
And that, I should say, in any direction;
The most important thing in getting things done
Is to dare failure and take the first step

If it's wrong you'll quickly recoil
If it's right you'll be rewarded for it
Men are remembered by deeds and not by dreams
It's time you stopped dreaming and started doing something

You really can do it, not minding what people say;
It only matters what you think
For whether you think you can or you think you can not
YOU ARE RIGHT
