WAITING? NOT ANYMORE

You just packed your bags and left There was really no explanation to why you actually did it. I laid awake every night longing for your voice Waiting for you to just say that it was all a nightmare and it never happened See my days are cold without you "Please do not fall in love with someone new I promise I will come back for you" I was waiting for you to say these words But to no avail So there I was with a wet pillow every night At some point i knew that you were not coming back But My hopes for your return were much higher See my nights are cold without you I kept looking at that door you were So kind to close with the hope that it Would open one day I am here because I was intoxicated with what I thought was The best part of my so called "mortal" life How did i lie to myself for so long? I hid behind this huge wall for such a long time Fear of what happened kept on haunting me When walking the streets at nights it was Nothing but a

GROWTH IS NOT A MYTH, ALLOW YOURSELF

What is it about being corrected that most people will never appreciate? In life we come across people who never want to be wrong, these very same people will even go to the lengths of actually making calls, showing you that yes what you have just said is not even worth your argument. A few weeks back or rather almost two months back we were doing a study at HOMECELL this is a platform for new/old believers to interact with each other, speak about the word of God, help one another grow spiritually and exchange ideas on everyday situations that we struggle with or need advice and or light on. The study was based on a book by Dale Carnegie "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which I got myself a copy of the book, for my own research. If you have not read this book trust me its a great read get yourself a copy and learn how the human mind works. This book gives you an insight on how to free yourself from the forces of mental slavery, in fact like many others it giv

HOPE

I bet this time of the night you still up, I bet you tired from a hard long week. I bet you sitting in your chair by the window looking out at the city and I hope sometimes you wonder about me....... I don't even know what made me think anything with you will be any different, how is it possible that you managed to fool me all this time. I was sure that this was exactly what i wanted, unfortunately i fell in love with the idea of falling in love with you. I was so comfortable, I guess this is what my mom warned me about. You get the girl, let the girl love you, get her weak and then you walk away. I should have walked the other way when i saw you, but hey I thought I could handle it now it handled me. You made it so easy not only loving,caring and considerate but you touched me with your smile and caressed me with your eyes, you read me like a book uncomplicated and without the trimmings. My happy ever after was about to become a reality when you walked through the door. a

LOVE VS THE 21st CENTURY

I am going to touch a very sensitive issue today and yes i know you don't want to hear it. You have probably heard it so much that you blocked it out of your tiny brain but hey here it comes SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE IS IT OR IS IT NOT A SIN? I have been researching this topic for four years now and nothing has changed in fact it gets worse every year. I have been asking people young and old about this specific topic and most of the young ones had this to say "A relationship would never work without sex" "I love sex so much that as much as I love you i will need permission to get it outside" "Why would God create something then not let us perform it" "There is no scripture that says sex before marriage is a sin" "I have to taste before i marry,what if the person is bad in bed?" The last one really killed me because what does one know about someone being bad in bed,unless you actually have something to compare it to.The reason w

FORGIVENESS,IS IT FOR ME OR YOU?

“WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS; BUT WE OFTEN LOOK SO LONG AND REGRETFULLY UPON THE CLOSED DOOR THAT WE DO NOT SEE THE ONE WHICH HAS OPENED FOR US” We keep kneeling to the floor and asking God for forgiveness for our daily sins even before we commit them. We are human and we know that we commit one or two sins ones or twice a day that is why we try to prepare ourselves in prayer, but we do not have to act like there is nothing to it “GOD will forgive me” is what I always hear Christians say. “He is a forgiving GOD, he totally understand that wasn’t my fault and HE made me this way”. Why do we have to keep making excuses to justify our actions when three hour later we pray “God forgive us our sins as we forgive those who trespass against us” but we fail to forgive those who have done us wrong over and over again. We need to stop treating the bible like it’s a rule book but rather a sense of living for human kind to have peace with each other and prosper. God’s greatest gif

SPEAK,LISTEN AND REPLY

I have been sitting here thinking about all the things i could write about but I cannot stop myself from erasing everything after ten to fifteen minutes. I believe most of u have had a situation where after a conversation you have had you think of all the intelligent things you could have said. I believe that most of us forget that listening is very important when conversations are involved . Listening is a skill which can only be used wisely if one really takes the effort. It is communication between one or two people that actually brings us closer to one another. It is through speaking and being heard that we are able to do right by others and ourselves. We are able to keep long friendship,relationships through communication which requires speaking,listening and replying. We are able to move forward from our pasts into the future when we apply that principle thoroughly. ............ TO BE CONTINUED   

IN OUR LYFTIME

I was home the other day and was tuned into the radio where they were speaking about an incident that had happened , which is turning out to be one of the rare incidents taking place in the age we live in. A man had lost his wallet in a taxi it seemed and one of the passengers saw it, picked it up and gave it to the taxi driver. The taxi driver,being a good citizen and having thought of everything the poor man could be going through , as the wallet included everything he could possibly need. The taxi driver used the wallet to lead him to the rightful owner. The man was indeed grateful for having his wallet returned to him as he did not have any hope of ever finding it. This story was interesting in the sense that one hardly hears of incidents where people have their lost belongings returned to them. I know that should I lose an important belonging such as a cellphone, it is unlikely that anybody would return it to the rightful owner. We live in a society and an era where it is okay f

FLAWED TO PERFEXION

Perfect has absolutely nothing to do with your appearance or how good an actress you are when it comes to the person you really are. It is not even about how well everything is going for you but how proudly flawed you are. People or rather most of us strive for perfection forgetting that we also need to live life to the fullest and freely so,yes most of us choose to be conservative but we do it all fr the wrong reasons hoping that others will have nothing to say about us. We are not alive to satisfy others but rather to live it to our satisfactory yes some have a higher God that they please in order to live a more satisfactory life on earth for both parties. Growing up i thought that one has to live according to the bible,be obedient to your parents and every adult on earth,helpful and thoughtful to the feelings of other human beings. We as humans were not made to be perfect at all instead we were made to keep learning and rediscovering who and what we want to be and seen as. If w
