God blessed me with the privilege of having parents that valued education. I was never in a situation where I was kicked out of school because I didn’t pay my school fees; however, this wasn’t the case for some of my classmates. In Sierra Leone, some students starting from elementary school to high schools are sent home, if their parents can’t afford their school fees.

Meet Sheka Mansaray..

  founder of 50strong50wise, a college  senior trying to opens doors for a better future for young students in Sierra Leone.

His mission:

Take education away from an African child and that kid has no chance in this world. Apart from God, education is the only cure out of poverty. An uneducated child is doomed for a life streaked with poverty and no Hope. Every child deserves a fair chance in this world.

Dear future Kids,

Mom here. I know, you will probably think it is lame that am writing you a letter before you are born..hang on, I have a lot to tell you already.

Well, I am 24yrs as am I writing you this letter. I pray God will allow me someday to see everyone of you. You see..God controls my fate. I have devoted my life to him cos only him can truly satisfy. When I meet you all, I will teach the importance of knowing God and putting him first before everything else. Btw, I can’t wait to meet your daddy, I haven’t met him yet. I can’t focus on your daddy just yet, you know.. There’s so much I have to accomplish before I start thinking about your father and you all.

I can’t wait to kiss you boo-boos, drive some of you to soccer practice, read a bath time story and much more. There’s time for everything tho. Right now is time for me to be single and allow God be first in my life before God brings your daddy into my life. I will update you when I meet your daddy! Oh joy! I love your daddy already u know.. I have to patient tho.. You know every attractive man is not your daddy. I am so careful about who I date cos the person could easily be your daddy after we get married. I want the best daddy for you all that’s why am waiting for God to bring me the best man. I want a man that loves God with all of his heart first and  love his family next. I am extremely careful, I don’t want to make a mistake with this decision cos whatever I decide will affect your lives for good or bad.

I sincerely want God to bless me with a good man that together, we will enrich your lives. Your mom is naturally adventurous, u will soon find out. I pray God will bless me with the gift of been your mother, so we can go on some adventures together. I pray that I will do my best to be the best mom to you. The last few yrs were very rough with me; however, I persevered cos I don’t want anyone of you to go through the same things I went through. As I fight for the future I want, it warms my heart that am fighting for you.

If God allows I see great things for all of us. I want God to bless me with a family that love God hungrily and live to help others. Life is all about using your challenges as a motivator to make it easier on somebody else. When daddy comes, we will write you a letter. I can’t wait to meet your daddy again. Your dad is a lucky man, you know (LOL means laugh out loud just in case it gets odd by the time you read this letter). I pray for you and your daddy often. I can wait for all of us to finally meet someday. Till that day, God first!

Love,
future mom! (Your amazing mom patiently waiting for your daddy)

“Perfect love cast out all fears.”

You know the moment when you’re dealing with something
and you just don’t know what it is..
Suddenly, God shines his light on the darkness.
And then you go “ahh, that’s better!”

To get what you really want,
you have to surrender all.
I mean ALL!!
Until, we get to the point of total submission,
then, we don’t know what true love is..

God is teaching me right now to just TRUST him.
Am the kind of person,
I like to plan ahead like my dad.
Then, I turn and look at my present condition,
and ask “Lord, how will this be?”
His answer always is.. “Edikan just TRUST me”

Faith is trusting God even when it doesn’t make sense.
Fear questions..
Faith sees it already done.
Faith allows us to stop worrying and let God be God.

Remember..
if you can spend your life trusting God more than worrying..
It will be so worth it.

Someone once told me..
if you’re going to pray don’t worry.
if you’re going to worry don’t pray!

My partner

My partner is ahead of me, in front and not beside me.

I look up to my partner, and I see great things.

My partner leads me by the hand, and encourages me to look to
the hills from whence cometh my help.

My partner never reminds of past mistakes, but rather insists
that I learn from them, grow, and press ahead.

My partner never shuns or degrades me, but motivates and
inspires me to higher heights.

My partner stretches me farther than I want to go, and often
takes me out of my comfort zone.

My partner speaks to me, and inspires me to continue forward and
become all who God has predestined me to be.

When the world is silent, my partner speaks loud and clear, or even
whispers in my ear, “You can make it.”

My partner holds me at night, during those quiet times of unrest,
my partner rests my soul.

My partner embraces me, surrounds me and never lets me go.
My partner steers and directs me; it won’t let me go astray.

My partner is always right beside me, forever here to stay.
For my partner is my future, and my future is secure.

As bright as the morning star, causing me, each day, to endure.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14

Choose Me

“Above all things, I hope to always choose me, I must be committed to remaining true to the person God has called me to be. We often sacrifice the beauty of who we are for the ugly insecurities of those who wish to stifle our potential. I cannot choose to live a life where everyone around me benefits from who I am but me. I want to be the first recipient of the blessing that is my life and allow that love to overflow to those who encounter the sweet aroma of my God given confidence. Simply put, there are times when I must break free and choose me.”-Sarah Henson
