You know how our childhood cartoons were filled with superheroes (let me not generalise) MY CHILDHOOD CARTOONS were filled with superheroes, not like I was allowed to watch them, but the little I saw fed my imaginations real good.
I have for a while wondered what my life will be like if I were a superhero, would I be able to fly (hahaha 🤣, my mother will cut my wings), or will I be able to disappear (someone will pour powder on my silhouette), what of fire breathing (lmao🤣, let's just say, I'll function more as a fire extinguisher than any other thing), hmmm thinking of the powers to have in a Yoruba Nigerian home is tricky, your powers could earn you a gift of 40 days dry fasting (and that's the minimum).
So as a girl my stature, I'll probably ask for super strength and speed, so I could do my chores fast and do some heavy lifting for the purpose of chewing-gum pride, but then again reality hit me like a piece of rock from Abeokuta.
Like what do I need pepper and salt powers for? First of all, I have God, so that means I can do ALLLLL things through Christ who strengthens me (not that I'll go and enter strongest woman competition tomorrow sha). Second of all, I am a woman (my pronouns are, she, her, and every other feminine pronoun), which means in the nearest formidable closest future (chai, English is sweet, see how the thing looks like I'm saying 3 different things), I will be a mother, and to me, that is "superpower" enough for me. Now thirdly, the girl power energy in me is enough to feed nations 'empowerment'... so with that, I think I am contented with my inability to fly, breath fire and carry Olumo Rock, but instead, I am comfortable with the fact that I! can do ALLLLL things (wait there is a clause) through Christ that strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13 (MSG): Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
