CYF-IMPACT

I didn’t know bikes sold in stores in shiny red and blue; My bike was made of junk yard parts my daddy sorted through. My brother and my sisters all had bikes that Daddy also made; And learning to ride my own bike was something that I craved. My Daddy promised me a bike when I reached six years old; As that birthday loomed ahead, my begging grew more bold.

Queen Elizabeth said on her death bed, I will give my entire kingdom for just one more day. The same privilege some people are recently rejecting because of life Challenges. With a heart clouded with depression, most feel unwanted, sad, perpetually, unhappy, cheated, defeated, hopeless and some even call themselves a mistake and failure. To them, it is better to end it all- The new Nigerian Trend. Let me quickly take your mind back to your biological history. For one single Egg to be Fertilized and produce a Zygote, 4 million Sperm have to engage in a fierce and bloody fight because it is only one out of the 4 million sperm that will break 2 barriers surrounding the ovum and reach the plasma membrane of the egg,then it will set a reaction spreading across the egg membrane to prevent other sperm from breaking through. The trophy of that victory/ fertilized the egg was a  ZYGOTE which grew to be you.

Brother Hammer served as the chairman. The other members of the tool belt informed him that he must leave, because he was too noisy. But brother Hammer said, "If I have to leave this carpenter's shop, then brother Gimlet must go too. He's insignificant and makes a very small impression." (A gimlet is a small tool with a screw point, grooved shank, and a cross handle for boring holes). Little brother Gimlet arose and said, "All right, but brother Screwdriver must go also. You have to turn him around and around to get anywhere with him." Brother Screwdriver turned to the other tools in the belt and said, "If you wish, I will go, but brother Plane must leave too. All of his work is on the surface; there's no depth to what he does."

Dancing With God  When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn’t flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other. My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw "G: I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i". "God, "u" and "i" dance." God, you, and I dance.

When I say ... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting, "I'm saved"   I'm whispering, "I get lost!" "That is why I chose this way" When I say ... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride I'm confessing that I stumble, and need someone to be my guide When I say ... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong, I'm professing that I'm weak, and pray for strength to carry on When I say ... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success, I'm admitting that I've failed, and cannot ever pay the debt
