IT'S ALL ABOUT ONE FACTOR

One of things we fail miserably to do in this life is take care of ourselves. We tend to at times extend our boundaries to accommodate the the things of the world for invalid reasons like wanting to have fun.

One of the famous statements you will hear is this one here,"Every one is doing, so why not? Why can't I?"

If you know that you are a child of the King and that is the kind of mentality that you have, I have three statements for you...

GROW UP!
SHAPE UP!
STYLE UP!

You are not everyone. You are the child of a king, the child of THE KING, JESUS.
So just in case you thought you were on the road to good living and enjoyment of your youth or your life,

STOP RIGHT THERE!!!! YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE WRONG ROAD.

A small not is here to remind you just what you ought to do and how you out to do it...
Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life."

Verse 24...
Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, GUARD YOUR MOUTH!

Verse 25...
Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your eyes directly before you.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, GUARD YOUR EYES,WHAT YOU WATCH!

Verse 26
Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, GUARD WHERE YOU WALK AND WHO YOU ARE GOING WITH!

VERSE 27....DO NOT SWERVE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT; KEEP YOUR FOOT FROM EVIL.

Save your self some of the trouble that many are going through as a result of not taking care of themselves.

It's all about this one factor......

GUARD! GUARD! GUARD!

FLOW OR FLOAT?

A lesson I am learning, the older I grow, is that with discovery comes revelation, and revelation does not always soothe. I believe in the slow burn of human connection, not the fleeting flicker of a sprint. I take my time, extending the same patience and grace to others that I give myself in my own process of self-discovery. Sometimes, curiosity bubbles up, a genuine thirst to understand. Other times, my emotional and mental reserves are low, and I'm simply present, observing. But…intrigue me. Nudge the edges of my world with a spark of genuine interest, and you might just pique my curiosity. A "Hmmmm…who is this person?" moment might dawn, and the spotlight of my attention will shift your way. As we forge new connections in life, we are met with a mirror—not always a flattering one—that shows us how much we have changed, and perhaps, how much we still wish to. In that reflection, we see the vastness of who we are and the contradictions we carry. Self-awareness has unlo...

The "WHAT ABOUT ME" ERA

Happy New Year—or maybe a better greeting is, You made it! It’s been an eternity since I last did this, weaving thoughts into sentences. Back then, it was pen and paper; today, it’s keys and screens. The act of writing itself feels like a resurrection. My writing process for the hiatus period has been a messy one of delay, distraction, overthinking, and an impressive dedication to avoidance. Not encouraging terms for the beginning of the year ey? True, but the awareness of it is the start in the right direction if you ask me. 2024 had been a year of relentless demands, stretching me thin in every direction. I constantly felt like I was chasing an elusive "enough," a feeling that left me perpetually unsettled and plagued by the insidious whispers of inadequacy. "I don't know," became my frequent refrain, a mantra of self-doubt that clung to me like a shadow. Yet, as I sat down to evaluate the year, a profound realisation dawned: I had pushed myself beyond my per...

FROM THE COMFORT ZONE TO WHERE LIFE REALLY HAPPENS (OUTSIDE IT)

Image courtesy of www.loc.gov A question was asked to me a couple of weeks ago, phrased in this way… “What things do you see in your personal life where you might be resisting change?” (Think about this for some time before proceeding to read and hold on to your answer) Frustration tends to build up when things do not go as expected. Change is something each of us responds to differently. There are those who see it as an adventure. Their adrenaline shoots up at the thought of experiencing something or somewhere new. Others like myself take time to embrace it, calculating every single step as we move along. We like to know the details of where we are, what we ought to do, and better still what the future will hold. We dwell mostly in the questioning quarters than boarding the bus headed to “new”. The word “new” scares us. We’d rather be comfortable with what we know, than be put in a place that expects us to figure things out on our own; and if it takes us ...
