INSIDE LIFE WITH GBEMI: GO TO THE ANTS

 GO TO THE ANTS



One ot my many fascinations as a kid was watching ants move. It's a wonder how this tiny insects could arrange themselves in a orderly manner and move without anyone disrupting the line, how they could move tirelessly with crumbs of meals and move it into their tiny holes. I remember using a stick to scatter the unique line but at the end I discovered something; they rearranged themselves and continued their journey of survival, nothing was stopping them from their tasks. 

In my final year in secondary school, Proverbs 6:6 was the slogan given by our Principal to us. He always ended his speech with "Go to the ants thou sluggard...'' As students, we were so conversant with this statement that we found ourselves completing the it with the rest of the verse " consider her ways and be wise". The statement then was for us to buckle up and prepare for our forth coming exams.

King Solomon gave us this advice inorder for us to prepare ourselves in all aspects. "Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man."; Prov 6:7-10. 

Just as these tiny insects prepare themselves for the rainy days ahead, so we have to also prepare ourselves. You never know what's coming ahead but it's best you are prepared. Winter is surely coming and yours might not be the ones the Starks were expecting.

LIFE AS IT IS- VOWS

Vow's When he approached home, he was full of remorse. All he felt within him was sadness. And apologies, all he had constructed on his way back home. He was going to start with the gift he had bought and then go down on his knees. He would plead until she forgave him and this time he promised himself, this time things would be alright. He opened the door with care. Moving quietly, not doing anything that would disturb her. When he entered, it was silent. Their house had never been silent. It was either she was cooking while humming to herself or listening to her favorite artists. Songs of Lana Del Rey and Halsey. Most times she would sing along and one couldn't help but feel the longing in her voice. Those times, he had felt sobered. Not knowing how to help, not matter how much he had tried. This time it was not what he expected, and even though he didn't want to admit it to himself, it felt peaceful. Once upon a time, their life had been like a fairy tale. N...

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
