Hmmm

Hey.

You already know lots of people inspired me (puts on my cool shades), one of them is my mentor, Uncle Dele.
I remember him saying a couple of months back; 'If there was internet and computers when I was growing up, I would have been a blogger or a writer, but then I realized I'm the first male child of my parents and after the investment my dad has made on me, writing won't have made as much as other professions.'
Not that he hasn't made it in writing now oh, he was just wishing he stuck to his passion.

This is one of his's. Enjoy!

Good Morning.
This past summer, I visited New York with my Family, and one place I was not going to miss is Ground Zero. There was the south and North Pools where the Twin Tower once stood with the names of over Three Thousand lives that was lost on 9/11. Just by the side of the pool is 9/11 Memorial. And just  behind it is a magnificent tall building dotting the New York skyline named Tower Two. 

I was fascinated by Tower Two more because of the powerful metaphor it represents about enduring spirit. Who would have thought such a beauty and grandeur can emerge out of the ruins and devastation of that day in 2001 ?
Once there was a man who was told that there is a greatness out of Nazareth, but replied Can anything good come out ‎there? Is that how you view your life and circumstances at this moment? Or is that what people think of you and the events of your life? Like a visitor to  Ground Zero you can choose this day what would be your focus.
You have  three options:
1.Stay at the pools(where the twin tower once stood which represents your past) ,blaming and resenting yourself, others and God over your disappointment, appearance, background, past hurts, failures or mistakes, or
2. Stay at the 9/11 Memorial (storehouse of those things that was taken from twin tower) savouring the relics of what ought to be that is not or those things you would change if you are God and
3. Stay at Tower Two savouring  the moment focusing on the possibility, beauty and invincibility spirit of man embedded in Tower Two.  

Let me end by reminding you what the angel told the women looking for Jesus on the resurrection  morning, Why are you looking for Living among the dead ?  So let that be an encouragement to you that your best is in your future not your past and because He Overcame the Grave, you are an OVERCOMER!

Shalom
