THE START OF BIG
Wow. I’ll be 21
in September and have never really done this, I just rant and talk and then
brag on how well I believe I could do this. How well I think I can be
impressive with this, mind blowing and have people begging for more. I can’t
believe have not started the blog I talked about. Anyways, it took an ASUU
strike for me to realize my love for the pen (or should I say keyboard since I
type it most of the time) is heaven bound and all round satisfactory. I realized
how pen and paper could help ease my thoughts and create room for more.
So well I
decided to start a blog, my blog, dejionadeko.wordpress.com, then I asked
around and I was told that BlogSpot is cooler so well I didn’t hesitate I
opened a BlogSpot account, dejionadeko.blogspot.com. It sounded good but
something just didn’t feel right, blogging felt right but it seemed like I was
missing something. With a little thought I realized the Holy Spirit wasn’t
hinting me on a blog that was about my opinions but His teachings and He sure
didn’t take long before He told me He wanted me to blog to life, He wants to me
put good news on the gossip spaces of the internet and begin what I call a
revolution of The Internet Church.
It sounded good
but then again who sets out on such alone? I’ll need hands right? Then easily
enough the Holy Spirit dropped names in my head, I didn’t hesitate to ask them
and happily they came on board and then me became we and Blog To Life was
receiving life.
Damian came on
board, then Tega and finally Bolanle joined the train. It was creepy at first
to say I wanted to lead a team that had these minds on it so I remember
thinking we should find an interim leader who will lead us on for a while and
then I’ll take over. Bottom line is fear stepped in and all sort of things
began to creep in on my thoughts. I got scared of contents and then continuity
and then publicity etc the list went on and on. But the deciding factor was when
I told one of the team members, Damian and he began to roll out words of
encouragement but the one I think did the job was when he said “hey Deji,
remember you are not alone and if you have issues just let’s talk about” I felt
doubled relaxed, have been keeping my team members posted ever since and it’s
been hurdle after hurdle coming out strong.
Coming up with
a domain name wasn’t a bother it was only natural that we use blog to life but
the problem is that it has been taken, God, I was devastated, I thought there
will never be a suitable name for our blog, what got to me was the fact that
the person using the domain we wished for was stagnant, the site was like five
years old but had never functioned anyways I began to look for options, I thought
of BloggToLife or BlogToLiife or maybe BlogToLifee then of cause BlogToLyfe
came in my thoughts I dismissed it like every other one but Damian saw the
light and there it is, we decided to settle for BlogToLyfe.blogspot.com which
is going to play host to this write up of mine and many others.
When I said
many others I meant it in real term. That is because BTL has evolved from an
idea to a personal gossip and opinion blog and right now to a platform for
sharing the gospel and for expressing yourself as a Christian youth in all
forms of art. From music, art, storytelling, articles and two new stuffs that
came on the list which is publicity for Christian programs and also summary of
church services.
Blog To Lyfe is
not a church substitute but a compliment, with a vision to saturate the entire
web with the good news of Jesus Christ. It’s not an opinion dump but a platform
for propagation of good news.
So dear
readers, if just like me you are tired of crashing in to x-rated sites or been
in the dark about the on-going of the gospel community or you have something
new the Lord laid in your heart be in any form like music, writing etc. Blog To
Lyfe is just right place to get both answers and platform.
After all said
and done it is my greatest pleasure to officially introduce to you the start of
a process and a revolution.
THE START OF
BIG, small.
