KarlaGod... My music, My stories, My God

If you were standing in front of God and he asks you....... Don't answer yet. Take a moment; - pause - think - breathe - reflect now......... CHOOSE!!! THERE. YOU HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -What you don't believe me- I thought you just chose? Well I don't have it? Well how did you choose it then? If you chose it, then you have it! If you have it, then you chose it! You might not accept it, but it is the truth. Dreams and wishes are not the same. EVERYTHING IS A CHOICE - THERE ARE ALWAYS OPTIONS The fact that you don't see them doesn't mean they're not there. Your life is not ruled by circumstances, it is ruled by your decisions actions. I learnt in today's rhapsody that you can replace your fear with faith. You can choose to be rich or be poor. You can choose to be a complainer or an agent of change. You can choose to be a victim of circumstances or a victor. You can choose to let the system affect you, or be above...

Sometimes that's the hardest question to answer. Why did you do it? Why do you act like this? Why are you the way you are? Why do you have this kind of principle? Why do you keep these kind of relationships? Growing up as a teen, the hardest question anyone could ask me was "Tell me about yourself". Honestly, I didn't know where and how to start, part of the reason was because I wouldn't know how to explain the rationale behind who I was. If I told someone, "Karla is such and such" and they asked- "really, so why are you like that?" I would not know how to explain it well enough to even satisfy myself. Till I had an encounter with a my Man Of God- Pastor Amaechi Udeaku , I was 19 when I first met him. He said "there is a you, in you that you don't know yet, but that God knows and wants to introduce to you, refuse to remain you, meet the new and improved you through HIM" I will not kid you, I didn't get...

The right thing to do isn't always easy The easy thing to do isn't always right To always want easy is to be cheezy A weak person who doesn't have the will of might Tossed to and fro on the swing of indecision Satisfying the walls of challenges the confidence to stand Because you have not yet the principle to stay through with the tunnel vision So you fall in, face down, and give up, to let the opposition stand How sad to give in to the doubts and give up on your dreams Sleep walking through the years but you thought you were awake to the reality The reality that said, "you will not make it, it's too hard" was all but a scheme Of work by the opposition to keep you napping on "seeming" failures of bravery That are there to build you character strong to  never give up because it's easy But stay through to accomplish and experience the joy of finishing If your plans change, it should be for bigger fishery Bigger net...

I was seeing a cartoon recently, KungFu Panda 3, Master Shifu said something in his training - "If all you do is all you can, you will never be more than you are now" It took me. I rewound to that scene for about 5 times, before I continued the cartoon, it was like Rhemah to me. Don't be limited to only what you can do. There's more There's always more There is always more. I have met people who say "I can't kill myself, this is all I can do" No one's asking your to kill yourself, I'm asking me (you) to be more than myself (yourself) . Sometimes we think the limits are external, or are consequences of someone else' actions - when the truth is that they are internal. They exist in your mind, but you're not telling yourself the truth so you come up with excuses that are too lame to sit up to the truth about why you can't achieve your dreams. "If all you do is all you can......" I like to go beyond...

LIES - TRUTH / BLACK - WHITE Have you ever done something nonconstructive spontaneously, out of the blue? Which you somehow managed to convince yourself that "It would be fun"!!! . There are times when, we know, in our hearts that an act would only lead to futility and ephemeral gains, but still you want to get to the end of it- in spontaneity . Tell yourself the truth, be honest with you, did you completely agree with yourself that there would be no consequences and that if there were any, you would be able to handle them? Life is much more than what we see or feel with our senses, there is the part of a man's spirit that is cardinal to the quality of his life. People say the truth is black and white- NO! The truth is either black or white The truth is either left or right The truth is either wrong or right (Really Karla? Did you have to make it rhyme?) Yeah I had to, but you get my point. Be honest with yourself, did you tell yourself the trut...

I know I got a strong heart but weak eyes Cry when I'm angry, laugh when I'm sad Don't mistake dem liquid for weakness Wouldn't let hate burn me so I let it flow out through the windows of my soul Bitterness turns to salt and water when my knees hit the floor Not worried about any disrespects I got God's respect It is our month of moving forward after all

The woman had a basket on her head full with fishes; there were little ones and big ones. I knew this because this was not the first time she had been to my grand-mother’s shop. I was standing there beside the half broken protector wrapping my fingers around the belt attached to my favorite navy blue colored gown. “Were your mama, go tell am say fish don com”. I stood there studying her as she let down the basket of fish from her head without dropping the piece of rag from her head that she uses to steady it; I found it intriguing and curious, but the curiosity vanished as soon as she removed the rag and stood akimbo looking tired and staring at the little girl who wouldn’t go call her grandmother. “Were your mama na” she asked in an irritated tone, “abeg call am come, I get market to sell for olori road”. Bashful me stood there staring and studying her with curiosity that I could not explain, until suddenly my aunt Jorfa (meaning: ad...
