I was 18 years old and just enrolled in a college in Newham for my A-levels. I had so many unknowns at that time in my life. I had just moved to the UK a few months earlier.
I was not sure if I would finish the course.
I was not sure if I would cope in school.
I was not sure if I would be able to afford the education
I was not sure if I would survive this phase.
None of this mattered though because my sister, Funmi, was sure of one thing ‘that she will help me push until the doors open’. She entered the lion’s den with me on multiple occasions to get the results I needed to survive. She followed me everywhere. It was her birthday a few days ago and I just realized how young she was at the time but already fully responsible for me and her family. Thank you sis!
There is a small path I take to college. Once I get on that path, I feel alone and insignificant. That path led from the college through a park to the bus station and in that few minutes of walk (which I did almost every weekday), I’d think about everything that wasn’t working and how bleak the future looked.
A music album on auto-repeat during this time got me through. Once I got off the bus and started walking towards school, I’d be singing ‘Carribean Medley’:
I’ve got my mind made up and I won’t turn back
Because I want to see my Jesus someday
I’ve got my mind made up and I won’t turn back
Because I want to see my Jesus someday
Album name: Live in London and More by Donnie McClurkin
Today, when I look back on that journey, I now know that I was clueless about the work that God was doing in my life. He was carefully orchestrating things that my small mind couldn’t comprehend or plan.
So when you feel insignificant and small
- Connect back to God – You are so precious to Him that He gave up His only son, Jesus to die for you! He really loves you. Why? Because you matter to him.
- Spend time singing songs that lift up your spirit – Well written songs that show gratitude, that is prayerful and have powerful declarations are recommended.
- Contribute to the life of others. – Be a blessing to others. Help them open doors and encourage them.
- Remember that you don’t know the full story – Your beginning may be small, but your end shall be very great (Job 8:7). Since you are not at the end yet, then things will only get better.
- Re-align your identity – My wonderful friend, Tolu Odulesi reminded me of this recently. Don’t let your identity be in what you have, what you do, or what people say you are. Let it be in something much much much bigger… God!.
