*OMOLARA'S STORY*
What a great day, a day I can't forget. It's my graduation day and I got lot of greetings, warm hugs from friends and families They really made my day and I felt so special.
After the whole celebration, I got home and I began to think deeply within myself. "What next after now" but as soon as I began to think, tears began to drop down from my eyes.
Though right in the hall, I have been crying whenever I think about something's and my friends thought it was tears of joy but it wasn't. They thought i was going to miss them all but it's far beyond that and I wish I could tell them but I just could not.
It was the tears of knowing that I will be going to that messy home
It was the tears of knowing that, I might not be as spiritual as before because of what I am going to encounter at home.
It was the tears of knowing that, I will return back to the life I lived before I entered the school because I know my faith might not sustain me through the periods
It was the tears of knowing that, I will go back to that house filled with baggage of problems and how to deal with them
It was the tears of knowing that, I am going to be bored and I might not be online regularly because of light and data
It was the tears of knowing that, I might end up feeding my flesh more than my spirit
It was the tears of knowing that, depression might come in and I might want to go back to the world
It was the tears of knowing that, irrational decisions will set in
It was the tears of knowing that, I am going back to that dry and noisy atmosphere..
And lots more.
School used to be my way of escape but now, the way is blocked. I have thought about it severely and I don't know what to do. Please how do I maintain my spiritual life, my emotional life, etc. I don't want to be lost or carried away
To every OMOLARA,
The first thing you need to do, is to change the orientation of how you see things. Don't leave in fear thinking everything might set back the moment you go back home. See it as going home and shining light, bringing changes to those issues. You're a reflection of what you reflect on.
Secondly, don't respond and react to things going around when you get home. Instead be positive even still in the midst on the storm. Hold on to your joy and faith, don't let Satan use whatever going on around to depress you.
Begin to see that messy house as a peaceful house.
Begin to find joy even in the noisy environment.
Begin to see yourself as the light to lighten up the family.
Begin to see Changes and not Charges
Thirdly, read books, seek for counsel, speak out when confused, feed yourself with good video content, study, fast, pray and make good use of your time, learn a skill, engage in classes online, etc.
Focus, trust, obey and depend on God not on the situations/problems.
A lot of things are going on silently in the mind of some graduates today as they celebrate. Job opportunities, financial issues, and so on. The more you fix your mind and think on things that troubles you, the more you create way for the devil to invade your thoughts.
God bless you!
