Hi! whats good?
For anyone who doesn't know my name's Ejiro.
Welcome to my myspace, make yourself comfortable and familiar with my page I intend to update it quite frequently so try and keep up with the pace ye ?
As much as i'd like to shed light on my whole life good, bad and very (very) ugly, I know that,
one, I don't have the room and two, most of you have an extremely small attention span (lol).
One day I intend on writing a book about my life and relationship with my God, so what I find I naturally do is split my life into chapters, sad I kno, but do I care? So what i'll do is take it from what I see as the most significant chapter so far.
But before then let me give you some background information about who you're dealing with!
I was born and raised in a Christian family, didn't take my faith literally until my early/mid-teens when I decided that I wanted to give my life (willingly) to God for him to use to help save the world. I expected that as soon as I made that decision I would be the young, black equivalent of Superman or even better Jesus!! One of my earliest memories of being new to the faith was trying to stay sinless for a whole day...(I got as far as 10am I think).
Anyways, through secondary school and college I grew and developed more in my new found faith as it collided with things like girls, my temper, and laziness. One thing that I think helped me keep going was my expectation that sooner or later I'd slip into the supernatural and get the opportunity to see angels and fight demons etc.
Anyway, back to the significant chapter. When I was 18 I went into my first year of uni. I really seriously didn't want to go because I didn't feel ready at all, but I ended up choosing to go and stay on campus. It was during my 1st year my faith met challenges that I'd refused to deal with at earlier stages of life.
I lost just about everything I had to lose, from my virginity (what was left of it!),to my self respect and confidence and even my faith... the only way I can describe what thats like is when you lose someone who's proper close to you...something along those lines.
So then I found a new identity as "chief of the sinners", ducked out of church and felt over condemned by just about everybdy (like say a blind man could see me and my sinful self coming from a mile away !).
Fast-foreward about 7 months of darkness, I was given the opportunity to go on my first holiday, solo, to stay with family in America...it was then that I was able to look inside myself and rediscover the candle of faith that refused to be blown out...I realised I'd lost everything BUT the one who cared most for me. I'd lost faith in Him but He'd NEVER lost faith in me!
I spent 2months in the states instead of the intended 2 weeks for the same price lol (i'm guessing God pulled a couple strings!).
The candles flame continued to grow as I feed it more with questions and hunger for answers about certain things, eventually it set the most of my heart ablaze and which brings me to where I am now!
I don't lie and say I'm fully surrendered to God, I never have been, its more like a daily process and the very fact that I have a desire to be, is a divine hook up (if you get me).
I know I haven't been detailed at all but I hope you get my drift!
(more info will be posted over time...)
I'm now at the stage where the karate kid has taken the beating and then meets Mr Myagi! lmaoooo
