In Awe of You

Ajayi, Olasupo O. PhD. 11052018

But God where do I start from? Is it the tough examinations that You simplified?
Or the poor performances that You somehow turned to distinctions?
Or the conferences and trips you made happen?
Or the record of fastest doctorate ever in the department?
Or the way You fast tracked all my applications?
I know for certain that I don't have long legs, "baba isale" or "connections" but for some reason, God You decided to plug me to Yourself- the main source "ghan ghan" - and helped me through.

I started this uncertain journey three years ago, with nothing but faith. The same journey many of my would be colleagues then had given ten years of their lives to and were no where close to completion. God You started with me, lit my path, continually leveled mountains, and even bullied numerous ways through for me. And now am here three years after celebrating this laudable achievements.

It hasn't been easy, and I know there were times I wanted to quit, times I was completely frustrated. Times I was dead broke - "like N50 only broke" but You kept showing up with surprises for me at every turn. You kept bringing people to my aid and to encourage me. You kept granting me favours.

Lord I am indeed thankful. From the very depth of my heart, I am say thank You Lord. I know some who knew when I started but are no more today. I know a lot more who quit along the way. But somehow in a place where 8-10 years is common practice, I completed mine in the minimum 3-year period.
For real God, You are a miracle worker and You have completely blown me away.
All I can do now is stand here and stare in absolute awe of You.
