Final Words - Why does it matter? || The Breaking

Now it seems we have come to the end of the series detailing how my 2021 went, it is important to note that inasmuch as I mentioned some things, I didn't mention others and as a result, I can do so in subsequent writeups. At some point, I wanted to stop... around March or April, things were beginning to get serious and I don't appreciate people all in my business, what was the point? I asked Jesus, why should I continue? This makes no sense... By May, I was considering cutting it short and continuing at a much later time(which might never come) but God confirmed that He was the one who asked me to do so. Why am I saying all this? I did not write all the things I wrote just for the fun of it, just because I love telling people about me, that was not the intent, I wrote it because He asked me to so I hope that even more than my words could convey, you were able to get the message He wanted to pass across to you, my experiences are peculiar to me just like yours are to...

October 2021 - I think I'm to blame for my mum and Jace's death || The Breaking

Inasmuch as I was down and still not well, I could not do anything about it. I felt like taking timeout but I could not really do that. Everyone was home and school had resumed. My mum has a school, the responsibility was placed on my elder sister now because she was there with her then. For the longest time, I began to blame myself for my mum and jace's death, I felt it was all my fault because I really wanted to see them, I was not able to at the end, I also wasn't sure I was happy I didn't die in my hometown, I mean, maybe I was supposed to because I wanted to see them so desperately coming back from school so death would seal it, it wouldn't have made sense to have lost my life though too because we went to Edo, my hometown, to bury my mother, why end up burying two people? Also, how will my family cope? A lot of thoughts were coming to mind, reasoning and all. Lateron, I got to understand it didn't make sense blaming myself through God and a friend of mine. At ...

September 2021 - What do you mean I have lost my mum??! || The Breaking

I had just finished writing a major paper: my second to the last examination paper, gotten my mum a book by T.D Jakes which I knew she would enjoy when I received this.  I had just gotten her a book I knew she would really like and then this? This message comes in?  I was amazed, she couldn't possibly be serious; I tried to play it cool at first... incase it was true so it wouldn't look like I was uninformed.  You see, this person was from the church I used attend at home and at times, they call me Peace because that is my name. I then proceeded to call my mum thereafter and I got no reply on her end, later, I called my dad and he said she wasn't around now, I found it strange because it was late in the evening and if she was going anywhere, she would go with him or he would mention where she went to.  Still on the search for answers, I called my elder brother and asked him if my mom was preparing for school because she loved school so much, h...
