Celebrate By Reaching Out To Others.

Her husband died last year and her daughter this year. Anna was not sure of how the year was going to end for her, because she has three more children to stay alive for.

Surviving everyday has been nothing but God's grace, living from hand to mouth from the petty sales of snacks and drinks to auto mechanics. Anna's business can hardly grow bigger than what it is because of her overwhelming responsibilities.

Truthfully, it saddens me to hear that reservations for an entertainment event cost a fortune that could be the answer someone else's life problems. We go ahead everyday living like, 'since situations like Anna's do not affect us directly, they are not our business'.

Circumstances like Anna's may not be our problem but we can be their solution. We could be an arm of comfort for someone whose child within has been threatened by life's storms.

Am I a sadist who says people should not invest in entertaining themselves? No.

Six couples paid Anna's family a visit and provided her with food stuff and her children with schooling materials that they need. They spend almost half a day with her family sharing material and immaterial things. Afterwards they head for the beach to have more fun.

Anna is truly grateful some aspects of her burdens have been lifted by people who decided to be an outstretched part of God's hands.

Celebration is what we should do everyday for one reason or the other, but we are not to be oblivious of the sufferings of those we pass by everyday wherever we may find them.

Reach out this season of celebration, put more than a smile on a family's face, make someone keep their hope alive and grateful that you exist.

I hope you take a cue.

5 Ways To Win Your Private Battles

"You will not have a glory without a story, no victory without a fight. The surest ingredient for expansion is adversity. Until you are tested, you can't be trusted. Trials bring triumphs and giants are signposts to Canaan. No Goliath, no king David!"

 

This is a quote from someone's post on a social media platform and it just spoke to me so much that I wanted to share my thots on it.

 Before public victories are won private victories have to be won first. There are territories in your life that you have to take over before you can confidently fight to win and be an attested conqueror. 

There are certain territories you have to win privately, they are:

1. The territory of external influence: Coming to place where you are in control of what force and giving access to forces that influence you in one way or the other.

2. The territory of perspective: This is the way you see yourself, others, what you desire and situations that bind you and these things in one way or the other.

3. The territory of fear: I guess you have heard that courage is not the absence of fear. It is the dwelling on our fears that brings what we fear to reality.

4. The territory of thought creation: This is a lot of work but it is expedient for the winning of any battles at all, because battles start from the center of our thoughts. That's why winning the territory of external influence is important too. Thoughts create what you see and the truth is you can control your thoughts to aid your journey.

5. The territory of persistence and perseverance: This is continual action in other words, this is not easy but all these territories are intertwined and have to work together.

Tests and examinations come before certificates. Read the quote above again.

These are thotstoshare as I live learn and love.

TURN THE LIGHTS ON: LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX

Do you think something that is addictive is a problem?

The assumption in today's world is that sex is just another biological drive that must be gratified, and everything is beginning to center around sex.

I would like to know, has anyone ever died from not having his sexual urges satisfied?

It's either condom use or masturbation that is encouraged for those who can't abstain. A good stand on abstinence is avoided like a plague in anything that is supposed to influence people's lifestyles as in everything like fashion, electronic and paper media.

Everything is centered around sexual gratification and perversion is more convincingly seen as nature

Not because I'm confused or not sure about my stand on this, in fact it's very far from that.

I just want to know, if man is so weak that devices have to be created to always cushion the weakness.

Must everything center on human sexual gratification?

TGIF! : 3 Places To Be This Weekend.

This would be a fast one. I asked for suggestions on what to do last Friday and didn't get one response, well I can not vex and decide no to talk to you again. So, here are a few suggestions of how you can unwind this weekend.

1. The eXperience : The annual gospel music concert that holds every first Friday in December at TBS, Lagos, started in 2007, showcasing both local and international gospel acts and an opportunity for citizens to intercede for this country. It's happening today. It is an 'all night' music concert that hosts the largest crowd for a show of its kind with no gate fee required. So get prepared to, go early so as to save a good seat, deal with the crowd, go with a survival kit and be security conscious too. It's always an event to remember, it's always an experience.

2. Go Christmas shopping at 'Lost In Lagos Live' : This is the best part and I'm starting with it. A lunch buffet will be available for those who get hungry after all their shopping!
Date: Saturday 8th December 2012 – Sunday 9th December 2012

Time: 12 noon – 7 pm (on both days)

Venue: Federal Palace Hotel, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos.

3. Daystar Christian Centre Christmas Carol by 5 PM on Sunday 9th December 2012, the theme is 'Rejoice', the venue is Plot A3c Ikosi Road, Oregun Lagos, and its free. This is a carol concert you would not like to miss, don't be told. It's the best ever.

I hope you engage yourself with good stuff and have fun this weekend, not just on the owambe side.

Catch ya leyrra,

Aluta Against NEPA! : Should We Keep Silent

I knew I would not be able to cook anything at home since there was no water, so I branched to the nearest canteen on my way home from the office. I also left the office with the thought of how to get water to have my bath tomorrow morning, at the back of my mind.

What happened?!

It should be about two months or over now, when my sister said she received an SMS from the electricity service provider that there would be erratic power supply for some days for the reason they stated in the text message. So for once, we started believing that maybe this could actually mean a transformation in the operations and the service rendered by NEPA , the accustomed name for electric power authority in Nigeria though its name has been changed to 'power holding' instead.

They sent an SMS the last time right? Now I'm wondering if that won't be the only SMS notification we ever get from NEPA , because this time 'they' just took the light like 'they' normally would at any time of the day and since then electricity was not returned for six days straight.

Because our 'better pass your neighbor' generator can't carry the pumping machine and even kept developing fault, we could not pump water too. When we were done managing what was left in the water tank, meruwa (Northerners who fetch and sell water in Jerry cans) became a very pleasant face to see, became king in place of the customers patronizing them and made one to think of starting the business too (That's a joke).

Almighty OAU! Who does aluta like no other, I know this kind of rubbish would never be condoned on OAU Ile-Ife campus. Even with a memo about the situation. Anything that causes students all around hostels to have to search for water for more than two days or have erratic power supply for about that time is taunting them for a protest. Before you know it, you are hearing the bugle for you to join the 'struggle' with explanations in thick political vocabulary.


If electrical power did not return by this evening it would have been a week NEPA took our electricity without explanation. But no, God saved them 'they' returned our light last night.

Like the same thing that happens in OAU was going to happen here too *scoffs*. I'm sure people who know the aluta drill and participated in their time, live in the same area I reside, but don't even have the guts to do so now and I wonder why. Is it 'Bystanders effect' or what?

They returned our electricity and I'm glad I don't have to smile at meruwa (for now) because I want water.

But should we actually keep silent for the way we are being treated by NEPA?

Have You Seen ASA's New Video?

Last night I was informed of Asa's video release for one more song in her sophomore album 'Beautiful Imperfection' .

The release of the new and official video for the song 'The Way I Feel' on Youtube is not a day old yet and has had over eight thousand views already.

You can take a look at the video and share what you feel about it. As in the interpretation of the whole song, lyrics, the theme and if you like it.

Then I stumbled on the live performance and I'm thinking you have to see it too.

Don't forget to post your thotstoshare on these two pieces.

One Love,

OPINIONS: Tonto's Publicity Strategy

I don't have a thing for Nigerian typecast actors/actresses that are just overrated. But...

About a month ago when the release of Tonto Dike's debut single was an opportunity for Nigerians to flex their creative comic abilities, my brother and I argued objectively on the possibility of it being a publicity strategy.

May be we were right or what do you think?

Kini Big Deal? Why Do You Scream TGIF?

As I gradually got conscious from sleep this morning, I was thinking it was Saturday so I had the license to sleep a little more. Then I remembered it was Friday and mumbled a 'Thank God its Friday' that sounded like 'I wish it was Saturday'. What I really wanted was the ending of Friday not the beginning.

When I got to the office I overheard one of my colleagues ask if today was Thursday, when she heard that it was Friday instead, she screamed excitingly, 'Thank God its Friday'. I could really understand because Thursday is the most hectic day for us at the company.

I wondered why working class people always screamed TGIF. I understood why when I was in Secondary school. Though Fridays during my University days didn't make any difference for me, I always judged from the other side of being employed in 8-5 jobs that screaming TGIF meant an unfulfilled life on the job.

I guess I'm about to eat my words (No! thots), cause I'm sure I'm not ready to admit that I'm beginning to look like a 'butterfly in a wheel' when I don't feel like getting up from the bed on Monday mornings.

:^) I'm wondering why because I've never screamed TGIF with excitement. I wonder what makes Fridays special. I know the weekend that starts with Friday means time unwind, but I just wonder why the thrill about unwinding.

Source

TGIF! and I plan to rock this Friday till Monday.

But I'm not sure I know how that 's going to happen.
How do you plan to spend the weekend?
Where do you intend to go to have great fun?
Maybe I could take a cue from you.

Please don't include laundry or house chores o. LOL!

Dear Reader, Your Turn To Give Advice.

"Okay bye dear" She got off the phone

Is that 'new boyfriend' or 'old boyfriend'? I asked

"Old boyfriend', why?"

"You didn't sound like he's old boyfriend" I retorted. Of course I knew he was 'old boyfriend', but if she didn't tell you they had broken up, you wouldn't know.

"I don't understand, we're still friends, are you saying we should not talk?"

"I'm not saying that, but I'm just wondering how you are going to move on from a relationship that has ended over six months ago. How do you intend to get into another relationship, if you are still hanging on to this one that has ended?"

"What if we get back together?"

"Really? Like seriously?..." Didn't know what next to say.

Must we ladies be like this sometimes? Abeg! Share your thoughts

Is this lady disillusioned?

SOS: I Need Your Advice

In the space of sunrise and sunset feelings could change from high and butterflies in my tummy, to low and with a broken heart.

It seems every time I try to give love a shot it keeps backfiring.

What's the bone of contention?

He seemed really interested in me, nice, and we got talking.

And every bit of detail he told me about himself did not turn me off.

Till I became his friend on Facebook and I saw the pictures on his timeline...

Oh no! I can't be compatible with that kind of lifestyle, things that look like porn, he drinks and so on...

Are you sure you're not being judgmental? I guess he was being open with himself, not hiding his lifestyle from something as public as social media.

Am I?

I was beginning to like him!

But there are somethings that would not go down well with me.

As confused as I feel right now, knowing that I like him already

You could say I'm not sure of what I want...but I'm really sure of what I DON'T want.

You seem angry too. So why do you have a broken heart?

I don't know... the way I was knowing and liking him, it just seemed very disappointing that he was not all that I was thinking he was or should I say he's not what I was expecting him to be.

I feel terrible liking someone who I think I can't have a healthy relationship with because I'm not cool with his lifestyle.

It seems like I should know what to do, but really what should I do?

She mops the tears welled up in her eyes with a white handkerchief she kept handy.

Imagine you are the person sitting across this woman telling you what she's going through what would you tell her?

FAITH: LAW OR DOGMA?

"Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later."

Have you ever reached that point that you feel a step further would break you? Oh! You've heard so many messages for comfort in time of despair. But really this is true.

Let me divert a little. The laws in Chemistry are very meticulous, you have to be precise with them, anything goes wrong the whole thing goes wrong. I think I have witnesses from people who were in chemistry labs in secondary school, doing things that didn't so much make sense to them and they could not apply to their everyday lives.

One thing I've understood lately is 'Faith is a law'. A law that defies present circumstantial reality, that brings things into existence before they are created, it is the creative force God placed in us that must be absolutely functional at all times till the creation is physically manifested.

Hmmn!

If I'm in an environmental situation of lack, what is faith?

Generating thoughts, imagery, confessions and actions of supply till I see the supply which is my genuine and preferred reality. To generate thoughts, imagery, confessions and actions of anything contrary spoils the process of creation by altering it or slowing it down.

"And it is impossible to please God without faith"

God placed himself in us by giving us his nature, he gave us the power to create and placed it in our will to faith. He created by faith and also encrypted our DNA with the ability to do the same.

"By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command , that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen"

Man who enjoys naming things, and has named this all kinds of things too, including the 'law of attraction'.

As we have God's life in us, we can't survive without faith. It is the only life line and life jacket we have to keep walking on water.

This is not dogma, this is not one of those religious jargon. THIS IS FAITH AND IT IS A LAW.

"Faith is SUBSTANCE of things hoped for; the EVIDENCE of things not seen"

It starts with you thinking it possible to have faith.

Taking Rubbish

"What rubbish! I can't take that!"

Sounds familiar to you? We humans most times are so fast to show off and let everyone know what they can or can not take. Is that a bad thing? Well, not absolutely. We often place ourselves on high pedestal and try to send messages to our people environment that we are not to be treated badly even by people with high social status.This seems like the most natural reaction to any ill treatment we get from interacting with others, but I do not agree to it totally. We are fast to show our prowess to prove our worth, to compensate our self esteem, and put up defense when we sense the slightest form of threat to it.

There's something I learnt somewhere about Self control. Picture a trained stallion, a horse with great racing prowess, it knows and obeys it owner, it understands the commands, prompts and inhibitions it gets from its rider and obeys them. So when it is told to stop, run fast or trot it obeys; not because it doesn't have the ability to race and charge how it likes but its strength lies in being able to subject its will to the one who rides it.

My mentor said something "The more rubbish you take the higher you go". It really got me thinking about the true meaning of humility since then. God elevates those who are lowly and he despises the haughty. This is emphasized in God's word and He acknowledges the humble, entrusting with them great responsibility. For example David (I really like his example), Saul (Whether you think so or not humility was one of the things that made him Israel's first king), Moses, Abraham, the list goes on. The ultimate example is Jesus Christ who knew who He was and His capabilities but subjected Himself to the will and pleasure of He who sent Him, and willingly laid down his life for the world even though it was not easy.

So before you start raining fire and brimstone for the rubbish you can't take, take it slow and give the right response.

You do have thostoshare about this, please feel free to do so. God bless.

Keep at it.

The little child looked at his father's legs as he struggle to keep pace with him as they both took a stroll down the street at the cool of the day. His father smiled observing his four year old try to fit in his shoes. He stopped and his son stopped too looking to him to say something to justify why they were stopping.
"You want to stretch your leg as long as I can?" He asked.

His son nodded with saucer sized eyes
"Just keep eating the food, vegetables and fruits your mum gives you to eat everyday"
"Everyday?" He must have thought that to be a lot of work
"Yes, Just keep doing that everyday and you'd keep stretching your legs a little more than you do now. And son, this applies to the things that you see as beyond you"
The four year old nodded like he wasn't sure he understood what his father was saying, but he was taking it in any way.

So it is with every goal we set on paper or even in our imaginations and the person we want to be. We may get really discouraged about the actualization of our goals but even at the moment of our discouragement we are not to STOP, but keep at it. I know you've probably heard this before and not just once, but persistence at the right thing can not be over flogged.

So here it is again. I meditated on this scripture and ThotToShare with you.

Romans 12 :5-9

Having A Bad Day? Try This.

I tried my hands on something today, I resumed at work today and about thirty minutes after, one of my bosses said something that was not a good report of my performance so far at this new job. I knew this report wasn’t going to positively influence my performance today and I didn’t want that to happen. So what did I do?

At first I tried fighting the emotions I was beginning to have on the low side, I looked for mantras to put me back on track, then tried commanding my thoughts to go the positive direction but it just seemed like everything I did to divert my thoughts to the positive was just aggravating its present state.

Then it began ringing that I should try listening to music. I was wise not to start with fast music or something in the high. Instead, I started with the state I was in and music that would heal that state was a solemn, reflective but not depressive music. It identified with the state of my mind and eased out the tension. I really understand that soothing effect of music now.

Since there was a time of great mental receptiveness (called a psychological moment), this was an opportunity to take my mind to the desired state. The next thing I did was to switch to the kind of music that would make me really smile. It works every time and it worked this time again.

So here’s a link to the video, I think you should take a look and tell me if you smiled at any part of the song.

PS: I’m not a Buddhist and I’m not psychic.

Personal Biases - MTN Project Fame

It was just Marvelous and Ayo left holding hands, seeing their tensed faces and imagining what would be going on in their heads prior the announcement of the winner was exciting. So dear Ayo won and I'm one of the bloggers blogging about it.

This is the first event I'm blogging about and due to logistic reasons I get to post this three after the event. I'm going in the spirit of 'better late than never'. I'm going to be reporting the show with biases that I'd express 'simple and short'.

#1- I wanted Adetoun to be the ultimate winner, but I'm glad she didn't. Being the winner is not always everything and may not pay for everyone. For instance Timi and Omawunmi of West African Idols.

#2- I wanted Musulyn to win too. She was strong, going through adaptation and challenged by unfamiliar grounds, she exhibited positive change. And I wanted a non-Nigerian to win for once.

#3- I suggest that better innovative delegation should be employed by the MTN Project Fame West Africa. All participating countries should be equally represented, let them have a share of winning. MTNPFWA is not only for Nigeria.

#4- I was really wondering why Praise Adejo (Praiz), a quality product from MTNPFWA debut season (the same season that produced Iyanya who made a hit after almost 5 years) was not invited to perform at either the penultimate performance called 'Collaboration Night' or at the Grand Finale.

#5- I'm glad Ayo won anyway, he has the Afrobeat flavor and was the only one ladies were waiting for to marry them after the reality show ends (Reference to the last Google Plus hangout they had). There's just something about him that makes the ladies want to take him home to daddy.

That's my piece


Your biases are welcome, post them in the comment box. Thanks

I Set Sail

All my life I’ve been taught to guard my life from living so I don’t get hurt. I’ve learnt this from my physical, religious, psychological and social environs. But what can you do to stop life from happening except die. I’ve been hurt in all these aspects I’ve been taught to be careful and out of over zealousness gotten myself confused and ended up not learning the right things instead or not even learning a thing at all.

Hurt, pain, loss, are also things that make the world go round and make us say that ‘Life is beautiful’. Beautiful to me means the good, the bad, and the ugly. Beautiful is not just perfect. That is left for the new incorruptible body and life we would have when we see Jesus, when we get to heaven, where they would be no sorrow, fear, or tear. In this life God doesn’t promise me no tears and no fears. He promises me a life of unquestionable victory over them because he’s on my side, with me, has won the battle I should ever fight, and gives me the right to BASK IN HIS GLORY with confidence hereby making me more than a conqueror. Isaiah 43 (the whole chapter)

So I resolve to living. Putting up guard and fortifying walls didn’t stop those who taught me (to do same) from being hurt themselves. In fact they got hurt and more hurt because they found it hard to let go and found false solace in refortifying their walls. Their theories of security have failed them. I do not guard my heart from breaking; I’ve put it in God’s hands.

So I resolve to live and let live. I’m going to be childlike without being childish. I’m going to be free and without a care in the world. I’m going to throw caution to the wind. I’m going to relish every moment God gives me the opportunity to. I’m going to cherish everyone God blesses me with to love. I’m going to let go of people and things that have served their time. And I’m going to learn life as it comes taking a step at a time like a baby learning to walk. I’m not going to jump because ‘Life is a process’ and jumping through it would mean falling. I’m going to walk on a rope if I have to. I’m THROWING all my eggs into one basket. I’m going to trust God on this one. Proverbs 3:5-8. I lose my life and myself. John 12:25-26 I’m not afraid anymore.

Love. Learn. Live

If I set sail, I know God would send the wind.

A Phone Conversation...

I got a call from one of my dear friends yesterday, network providers are more  liberal these days and have been giving freebies that we have thought could only happen in some dreams, but there we were conversing on the benefit of free call credit in plenty. 

We are friends who keep in touch so it was not catching up on old times, we talked extensively till we began talking about our dreams, goals and the fears we had. What we expected to have happened and the milestones we hope to reach in the nearest future and it seemed like it’s not happening any soon. How we try to make things work and they just don’t, and so on.

Then it was one of those moments of saying what I didn’t cram, copy, or rehearse to say, but it’s making a lot of sense to the listener and in fact dissolving fears and doubt. What are such moments called? :-?

Some people have the absolute ideology that ‘life is deliberate’ and some that ‘life is predestined’. Which one do you hold? And why? Then I tell you what I told my friend.

I believe both, because all our live events can’t be attributed to just one of these ideologies. I live life in preparation and in predestination. I’m going to live in the moment and live in tomorrow. So when the opportunities come I grab them because I’m prepared to. When it does not come I’d still live.

Contrary to humanistic propositions we can’t always control what happens to us. We do have choices, but not everything in our lives would answer to them. So what happens when we are being deliberate about life and walking every walk by faith and our answers are not anywhere around the corner?

So when it seems like you were so sure by now that God would have reached down and wiped your tears away, stepped in saved the day and it’s not looking like it. Then you can’t even hear his voice through the thunder, do something, praise him in the storm and ask for his mercies that are new every morning to prevail.

Making You Happy

It's been a while I posted something here and I'm still thinking I don't really know what to write but this is my blog and I can write when and what I feel like. If you don't like it, go and get your own. Just joking, :) I'm smiling ear to ear sure there are no haters here, bobos. Thanks for coming here after a while anyway, at least you're still faithful to the blog. God would bless your ministry. I hope you said 'Amen'.

Today, I just thought about days when things aren't so sweet and if you're like me, receiving no inspiration to be creative. What do you do to survive? Yeah! I mean it SURVIVE, cause some situations are threatening your existence, adaptation and being productive in whatever area you are facing this threat.

It's not like I'm feeling low today, I'm just wondering about days when things aren't so great and you're beginning to doubt somethings you've said to you about you, maybe in front of the mirror.
What do you do to help the situation on a bad day?
How do you get yourself happy again?

PS: I'm going to be addressing an important topic after this and your comments would help so much in making it possible. Thanks for dropping your thots in the comment box. ;)

today's number (2)

I didn’t plan to write a sequel to the prequel of this post, but I think I like to use the same title for the post so I’m game.

I wrote the prequel as my birthday post last year and it was my birthday yesterday :(. Did I just hear you say “huh?!” cause that smiley is sad and you are seeing correctly? My sister doesn’t think that’s cool too.

Yes! I’m not excited about this particular birthday cause since the very beginning of this year, the new age I’d be had been ringing in my head like I had already turned the age, I’ve felt like an agbaya with nothing to show for my age ever since and everyday has felt like a negative countdown to the D-day.

Don’t worry my musing today is not so melancholic, it’s just more introspective than last year’s so I might need some light cause it’s getting dark in here.

Oh! Here’s the light. It is Psalm 90. To my surprise the writer is Moses, funny I never knew that detail till I read it last Friday and was sure this was going to feature on my birthday post. I think he wrote on his 80^th birthdayJ. It comes in MSG version. Enjoy!

Psa 90:1  A prayer of Moses, man of God. God, it seems you've been our home forever;

Psa 90:2  long before the mountains were born, Long before you brought earth itself to birth, from "once upon a time" to "kingdom come"--you are God.

Psa 90:3  So don't return us to mud, saying, "Back to where you came from!"

Psa 90:4  Patience! You've got all the time in the world--whether a thousand years or a day, it's all the same to you.

Psa 90:5  Are we no more to you than a wispy dream, no more than a blade of grass

Psa 90:6  That springs up gloriously with the rising sun and is cut down without a second thought?

Psa 90:7  Your anger is far and away too much for us; we're at the end of our rope.

Psa 90:8  You keep track of all our sins; every misdeed since we were children is entered in your books.

Psa 90:9  All we can remember is that frown on your face. Is that all we're ever going to get?

Psa 90:10  We live for seventy years or so (with luck we might make it to eighty), And what do we have to show for it? Trouble. Toil and trouble and a marker in the graveyard.

Psa 90:11  Who can make sense of such rage, such anger against the very ones who fear you?

Psa 90:12  Oh! Teach us to live well! Teach us to live wisely and well!

Psa 90:13  Come back, GOD--how long do we have to wait?-- and treat your servants with kindness for a change.

Psa 90:14  Surprise us with love at daybreak; then we'll skip and dance all the day long.

Psa 90:15  Make up for the bad times with some good times; we've seen enough evil to last a lifetime.

Psa 90:16  Let your servants see what you're best at-- the ways you rule and bless your children.

Psa 90:17  And let the loveliness of our Lord, our God, rest on us, confirming the work that we do. Oh, yes. Affirm the work that we do!

I guess you want to post your wishes now. Feel free to do so in the comment box. XOXO

Okay! So I have not written anything to post over a week now, but there's just something that has been bothering me about this blog.

It is that the readers of this blog have neglected the part where they post their comments. Yes I'm talking about YOU reading right now. I spend time putting my thoughts together and asking for yours (in return) on whatever topic it is and the response I get is NOTHING.

Abeg, your comments do give me the assurance that you are really reading what I write, I learn from you, and get to improve on my views about those topics and my writing skills. It also encourages me to keep doing more. Please don't wash down my enthusiasm. This is coming straight from my heart.

Or am I doing something wrong or not well enough?

You could tell me why you don't post comments about the blog posts on this blog.

1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

The place of vision, hard work, persistence, perseverance, consistency, basking in grace by giving you a break, and taking the challenge to be the best you are enabled to be by God’s grace cannot be over emphasized. It is found in every success story, but I still wonder that in proportion to the Earth’s population, those who have outstanding results from these values are few. But I’m undaunted as I run MY race that I'm possible and unstoppable.

1Co 15:58  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 

This is my thot to share today. What's yours?
