New Year, New Me?

I was going to go on and on, about how it is pointless to have a new year\’s resolution and how this is the first year I am without one. However, I do have a simple and adequate goal for the year which is to \”Grow!\” But then I remembered, it\’s been 11 days into the year and I have been AWOL (such disrespect to you guys, apologies) so Happy New Year guys!!!! How is it going? Is it just me or is it going super fast?
Instead of all the Resolution serenrene, what better way to start the year (with me of course) with a poem!!

I grew up in a Christian home,
But none of that matters,
So much as being born a Prince and living in a palace, doesn’t make you a King,
You would simply be an ordinary person with a superficial title,
You become a King when you fully understand what Kingship means and when you accept the responsibilities and entitlements that come with it.

Bear with me, I have a point to make I promise,
Two days ago I had a conversation, well it felt more like an interrogation,
You know, the whole scenario where they want to know more about you,
Thing is, you can’t know more about me when I barely know me,
But hey, I played along.

It got intense,
When the “Rosemary, who are you?” was asked,
I went LOL, and blank,
Don’t get me wrong,
I wasn’t blank in the sense that I forgot my name or my characteristics,
Neither did I go blank in retrospect of who God says I am,
I went blank because I didn’t know who to pick.

My very self or what God has said,
Yes, in my head at that point we were two different entities; silly me,
I had a well prepared definition in my head,
It was something along the lines of,
(A)I am Osuya Rosemary, a pharmacy student who writes, a girl with dreams beyond her physical size and you know how that speech goes 
(B)I am the salt of the earth, the apple of God’s eyes, the light of the world and on and on.

None of those mattered,  because they didn\’t  make it to my tongue,
The connection between my brain and tongue was lost on the bases of one word; SHAME,
Can you imagine that,
Being ashamed of my identity,
Not wanting to be labelled a girl who had too much to say about herself or one who supposedly hides behind Christianity,
So I casually said; “well, you would have to find out with time” …. Dumb me,

I know you all didn’t ask me,
But I want to share with you my true identity,
I am Rosemary, a pharmacy student who is the salt of the earth, I write because I have been chosen and appointed to go forth and bear fruits and yes I have dreams bigger than my physical size, that is what happens when you are the light of the world and the apple of God’s eyes,
I am not two different entities; I am one whole entity with diversities.

So tell me \”Who are you?\”

Stay Shining till next Wednesday, same time same channel. Lol.
