Sọrọ Soke
Without any context, sọrọ soke means speak up— it’s a Yoruba phrase. Going with that, now deep your life for 1, 2, 3.
What? Alright, that was too fast. We’ll go again.
Reason your life; hasn’t there ever been a time when something good or, at the very least, not awful happened to someone because you did something? The something you did does not have to be grand.
Done?
That’s the end of the story.
Haha, you wish. The thing is I realized a few weeks ago that we all have some measure of influence and if we use it, someone somewhere might be helped or just appreciate it.
Look at this. My sister had been clamouring for a school of choice but no one listened to her. Her decision on where she schooled was going to be disregarded. I eventually added my mouth by persuading the parties involved as per firstborn, and now that’s where she’s going.
Of course, something going as desired is most often the product of several things, not just one. She’s not going because of me. But I helped in some way. The point is that if we use what influence we have— and we all have— we might help someone’s ministry.
So, sọrọ soke for someone this week, yes?

Book Club 📖
I’m 50% in! That’s page 135 out of 270.
The book is not a drag, I’ve just spent too long on it and now I need to read something else. But I have purposed in my heart to finish it because I think it’s worth it.
So… we’ll see about that next book club :)
