CYF-IMPACT

You might suppose that a dirty, poor, abandoned child growing up in a dusty field would have little to hold on to. But to me, those endless, sun-baked field and a promise of sore backs, bleeding fingers, and blistered hands. In those fields grew my dreams. Down there in those fields, all the passion and desire to be different, to do better, was born inside me. It came from walking in those fields alone. Dreaming, hoping and planning for the better with nobody to encourage or enlighten me.

Going down memory lane, I see myself in my 1st year again, battling with financial problems and frustrating roommates. A lot happened and more could have happened but God came to my rescue. All it took was prayer and fasting… Our world is one that’s rapidly changing and thus, demands further positive changes from us which is called adjustments. This sometimes is the problem. However, when made, it either alleviates or aggravates the issue at hand.              There’s a lot happening around Christian students everywhere, from financial issues to pressures (sexual, cultism, etc),  time management, balancing family affairs etc. The list is endless, but the truth is, all of these have come to either make us or mar us, to break us or brace us, none of which can happen without our permission.
