Beautiful Thursday

I turned the key to my door at about 5:14pm that evening after a long day at work,then the thought that I had to go for a christian meeting at 6:30pm crossed my mind,but I have a date at 7pm,I suddenly thought aloud.Unlike me,I was just not eager to attend the meeting.Anyway,I quickly fixed one of my favorite meals(eba and vegetable soup)*wink*...and had me a very good meal.
I settled down with some fruits and turned my television on,hoping to watch my favourite programme till about 7pm when I shall hopefully be leaving for my date and whack?!*these " no send awuff people" have scrambled my subscription!.


I never want to be caught anywhere by indecision,but this particular Thursday,I just couldn't decide how to spend my evening.I tried to read,for where?tried to write,who sai?tried to sleep,dem dey buy am,I mean how could I?My mind was wondering all over the place.Anyway,at about 8mins to 7pm,I conclusively made up my mind to go for the Christian meeting.I walked into the hall about 42mins later than the scheduled meeting time.I couldn't help but notice the sincere smile on the faces of everyone,drinking in the beauty of the moment,basking in the quietnes of the environment.There was an unmistakeable difference from the hustle and bustle outside the walls of that compound and a whole lot of thoughts crowded my already busy mind.Every eye that met mine acknowledged me with a nod of the head.Hardly,had I taken my seat than I was served with this plate of sumptuous meal.You know I had already given myself a treat but this creative art posing before me begged me for a taste,moreso as my tastebuds gathered enough saliva to force my lips open for a bite.mmhnn.Indeed it tasted as it looked...sumptuous!


As I tried to justify the cook,a very confident voice drew our attention to it's owner.Goodevening ladies and gentlemen,please may I have your attention for some minutes?It was this dark skinned pretty lady full of smiles and had written all over her,"I am a good wife and a good mother"!.She didn't take our time at all.She simply reminded us of what we already knew as christians but I took something away.Sh e talked about every child of God being a colt for Jesus' Triumphant entry.How the Colt remained where it was tied,not exceeding its boundaries until Christ requested of it and had it adorned with royal clothings and people laid their clothings on the ground,the donkey walked on the clothes,What a revelation I thought.Obedience brings upliftment,little wonder the scriptures say that God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble!.

I couldn't wish for better words of encouragement.It was a beautiful Thursday for me.So be encouraged.Challenges will come,but remain true to your creator and don't exceed your bounds as a christian.The day of your decoration is coming.It may tarry but surely it will come!

Still wondering about my date?I called to cancel,lol.Eternity is more important to me than date of at most one hour.whatdyathink?

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

Tired of giving!

Oops!it's been rain rain rain in this part of my world for the past one week.At times it can be really annoying,especially when you have planned a fun day and the rains come pouring down making the ground all wet and irritating.If there is anything I love to do,it is shopping.I had planned to go shopping and the rain wouldn't just go away so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed my little umbrella.Out in the rain I went,quickly hailed a cab and zoomed to the market. The entrance to the market was something else.Obviously like me,the rain couldn't deter so many people.People were milling around everywhere,even beggars sat put in their positions begging for alms from all who passed them.One of them particularly caught my attention.Unlike others he was standing,his buttons were all undone and I saw something like a rope connected to his navel,tracing the end,I saw something like a drip or something but some kind of satchet with some content in it in his hand and then there w...

Why do they keep staring?

In these few years God has blessed me with on earth,I have seen so many things:the good,the bad,the ugly.I am so curious about men and their way of thinking.He is driving on the road,he is looking,in the office,he is looking,in the park,he is looking,even in church he is looking...Chei!what is it?.He gladly boasts that every man is wired that way,he couldn't be different. Ladies,have you ever been looked at by a guy so badly that you almost puked?There are those whose stares make you feel like smacking them behind and saying,don't be silly!.There are others whose stares make you feel embarrased and uncomfortable but there are those who make you feel like a queen made to be worshipped.Hahah...yea,I know that feeling...hey,don't worry the feeling is mutual.I like it too.I mean who doesn't want to feel wanted?. However,I am particularly curious about why some men just go bonkers at the sight of a woman.Why his nose will trace a perfume to the owner?Why his mouth will hang ...
