The year has gone full
circle for me again and lo, I am a year older. I would have sat down to review
the past years, but that is not for me today. I’d rather look forward to what
the future holds for me, the journey ahead, and the mission before me. I’d
rather focus on my assignment, my calling, my vision. I’d rather get on with my
daily tasks and the seeming drudgery of day to day activities that will sure
culminate in the glorious future that lies before me.
It may not be easy, but
I’ll keep on keeping on. It may not all be rosy but I’ll hold on to hope. It may
not always turn out the way I want or desire it to be but I trust it will turn out
how God wants it to be and that’s okay for me. My life is in His hands anyways
and He is the One I look up to. He has brought me this far and I trust He will
get me there.
I write to thank God
for where I’ve been, where I am now (gets excited) and where I’m sure I’m
headed. I see an awesome vista opening before me eyes. I write to thank God for
my wife, who has stood by me all this while with love, care, support and
understanding. I write to thank God for my lovely gifts from God who never let
up in their antics and creative mess, their adorable smiles of deep innocence. I
write to thank God for my parents, both of them that is (including my in-laws
ni o) and my wonderful siblings, all of them. I write to thank God for my
extended family and the blanket of safety they cast over me and mine. I write
to thank God for my friends, all of them who have been solid in their role as friends.
I write to thank God for the numerous acquaintances that come around me
regularly out of which some graduate to becoming friends. I write to thank God
for my many fans (preens like a bird) who keep me going daily. I thank God for
every Nigerian who dreams and is working towards a great and prosperous Nigeria;
we will live to experience that day.
I write to mark this
day with words that I’m certain will outlive me and speak on for generations to
come. I write to thank God for the privilege to affect generations positively. I
write to thank God that my errors, mistakes and fumbles have not drowned me. I write
to thank God for opportunities to serve. I write to thank God for life…
I write to say a big
thank you to all of you who made out time to call, send sms, bbm, tweet, fb etc…

Lest I forget, I write
to thank my wife for my brand new timberland shoes-*winks* and the ponmo and
