MEET MY GREATEST LOVE

Happy Easter everyone. It's been quite a long kinda 'holiday' that somehow the excitement for Easter dwindled with every day that passed in this quarantine. I hope y'all are staying home and staying safe. Please check on your loved ones and reach out to those you haven't heard from for quite long, it's always a nice gesture and a refreshing moment.

I am sorry you guys, its been quite a minute minus any posts but all I can say is, I am well, and everything is going on, not really smoothly; it's been a bumpy ride for some good months now..work and other projects that take up almost every spare minute I always had, please bear with me.

So, who is your greatest love? And what makes them special to you? Well, considering its Easter, I thought I would share a few things I have come to learn and explore. Mundane and human as I am, I, just like many of you....yes, I'm winking at you, I know what you did last summer, haha, have been on a journey to finding true love and comfort, freedom and happiness.

Many a time, we have all searched for love and attention in all the wrong places; from people; boyfriends, girlfriends, family, ...we have also gone ahead to find the longings of our inner selves in things like money, a new phone, a new Arsenal or Liverpool jersey....shoutout to all Liverpool fans. 

Other times, we don't even have a human to talk to about what we feel and so drown our sorrow and confusion in a bottle of wine, beer (Ms Nansubuga, you have been quarantining with Guinness) or a massive platter of pork(I won't mention you guys here, haha) just to feel some kind of way about everything.

Quarantine got me wandering around Najjera, found a nice hedge!

But I bet more often than not, all we get is a short time of fun, comfort and a bit of that tipsy feeling that most of us like, when we are a little more happier, more jovial, more complete and don't let me mention the confidence we get, feeling like we can actually jump on top of a table and pull a sick move when we have even never stepped on the dance floor.

We use anything humanly possible to try and fill the void and yearning inside of us but this has been only but a wild goose chase for me. There comes a time or situation when you know very well that even if you had a chance to have the most fun intimate session with the crush of your life, a moment after that peak of excitement, you would still be sad, troubled and helpless. 

What then has been a refuge for me? There is someone, in whose presence I feel whole, never judged, loved like I would love to be, unshaken regardless of the size of the wave because baby, He's got the motion of the ocean under control. I pride in knowing that there is a power beyond all that we can see, a commander that brings all the strongest battalions to their knees and He, is the greatest love of my life.

We can joke all we want, hurt people to please our ego, use them for our needs and desires, inflict excruciating pain on others because we are more powerful than they are but darling, there comes a time when we all run to someone too, to Jesus, the greatest comforter and bearer of all our crosses. Sometimes I look up and say, thank you Lord for never giving up on me!

Allow me leave this here

I have, on many occasions been in so much trouble, worried to bits and on the verge of losing my faith, just like that moment in a flying dream, a split second before you fall off the edge of a cliff, and before I even realize, I am somehow back on my feet. 

I know we have all been there.....I KNOW THAT WAS YOU, LORD! Who else has done something evil and got away with it but after crossing that line, you are like, damn.... I am pretty sure that was you, Lord?
