There’ll be seasons of life you’ll have to understand and deal with. Some would be white. Others, black. Plenty, a mix of both. Esther Mark.

Seasons of life.

Time and Chance.

Perseverance and Diligence.

Commitment and work.

Grace and Favour.

One moment, you’re confused. The next, you’re bursting with indescribable clarity.

One moment, you’re indecisive. The next, you’re taking the bull by the horn.

One moment, you’re playing with an idea. The next, you’re celebrating anniversaries of your impact.

One moment, you’re a startup. The next, you’re a conglomerate.

One moment, you’re mourning. The next, you’re welcoming a new seed.

One moment, there’s no motivation. The next, you’re the motivator, inspiring others to take charge.

One moment, you’re longing for a child. The next, your quivers are full of children.

One moment, you’re not sure of your next meal. The next, you’re doing giveaways.

One moment, you’re seeking a job. Any job. The next, you’re turning down offers.

One moment, you’re struggling with your health. The next, you’re as fit as a Deer.

One moment, you seek funding. The next, grants are pursuing you Upandan.

One moment, you’re starting a business. The next, you’re hitting major milestones.

One moment, you’re unsure of an application. The next, you’re struggling to meet up with the demands of several opportunities availed you.

The list goes on and on.

See ba,

There’ll be seasons of life you’ll have to understand and deal with. Some would be white. Others, black. Plenty, a mix of both.

Be patient with these seasons.

Be. Patient. With. Life.

I’ve seen situations change at the snap of a finger.

I’ve seen commitment and diligence build enviable structures.

I’ve seen perseverance pay off.

I’ve seen endurance eat at the table of kings.

I’ve seen miracles happen and look like dreams.

I’ve seen mere men bless the nations of the earth with their gifts.

I’ve seen grace and favour lift men up.

I’ve seen the supernatural do the ‘unthinkable’.

….

See ba,

Be. Patient. With. Life.

Work hard. Be book smart. Be street smart.

Play your part

A little here, a little there.

Give it your all.

Everything good will come. With time.

Time and chance happen to them all.

Time and Chance.

Seasons of life.

***

Know your season.

Take strength.

Go with the voice of courage.

Operate with that knowledge.

Trudge on.

It. Will. End. In. Praise!

The vision is for an appointed time…

You don't know the time.

But you know the vision.

Hold onto that!

Don’t forget, I’m always rooting for you.

Oya, bai bai.
