Diary Of A Young Father

I hardly slept at night as guilt kept me tossing over and over again. I would wake up at the dead of the night and think till the sun stole a peep through my window. I struggled to keep my relationship with God...honestly, I tried. I reached out to people who could help. I got turned down by some while others promised to keep tabs on me and got busy with their life afterwards. I stared at my Bible as if it were poison . Each time I opened it, I could hear a million voices saying different things but striking one message - GUILT ! In a way, I knew I was made to be more than this. There was this feeling that it won't ever be the way God once made it.  I knew God was a loving Father but I also knew He had some lessons I had to face and like Adam, I was scared. I googled about Kirk Franklin, read about his rebellious teenage years, how he had to deal with his girlfriend's pregnancy and yet go on to fulfill God's purpose for his life. I think that shook me a bit and I began to a

  So when my daughter was conceived, a lot of thoughts ran through my mind. I had several options to choose from so as to avoid the shame that'll be spat to my face. Then, a very good (female) friend of mine called and told me she has been bothered for days about me and while she prayed, she was instructed to tell me to abort whatever plan(s) I had in mind and danced to the music life will play before me. Mum was the first family member I broke the news to because I was close to her. Next things up, I told my pastor in Ikot Ekpene about the news . He smiled, congratulated me and appreciated me for taking the bold step to keep it and also inform him. Now, a lot of persons in church perceived me to be super righteous (I don't know why they think that way) and were waiting for the day my bad news will spread. It eventually did and tongues began to wag. I had a female friend then in church who secretly had a crush on me, when she heard the news, she called me immediately and blaste

    I dated a beautiful and smart girl throughout my senior secondary school days. She was fondly called "maggie" or "Agbani" because of her height and beauty. I vividly remember during one of our "alone" moments after exams, I told her I would love to have seven (7) daughters and one would come on or before I clocked 25years. Babe was shocked. All my life, I've lived & spent most of my time around women. I had three sisters, I was mum's favourite child, I spent holidays with my aunts and majority of my friends were ladies, I don't know why. Truth was, I had figuratively planned my years without putting God in it because I wasn't interested in God or what He had to offer (as at then). I was a good boy who had good/sound morals but I never believed in God or experience Him.  I confessed that particular dream to her till it became part of me and as power would have it, I had my daughter (Baby Smile) when I was 24years. It dawned on me whe

I told y'all I have a story to tell. Well, it'll come in bits as I unfold myself totally shedding off the old skin I once wore because a bigger & brighter side is coming after this.  Those who know me well know this part of me - I HAVE A DAUGHTER, a beautiful and smart one the world haven't seen...Trust me.  I personally had to start this blog because of her and as I ponder about my life while walking home last night, a lot of memories kept flooding and I tried shutting back the floodgate of tears about to erupt in public. I'm proud of what she's growing up to become, as young as she is, I can already spot a truckload of atomic potentials waiting to hit the world. She'll be 3years old in a couple of months and I must confess, I've cherished every moment spent with her. Watching her grow right from Day 1 is a gift I'll forever treasure and remember. Honestly, I don't know why I'm doing this but I just have the strong urge to do so...and I beli
