IF I COULD ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING, THESE WILL BE MY REQUESTS:
1. That I fulfill His purpose for my life, and not just be a passerby. At the end of it all, I can boldly say that my life was well-spent and I made an impact in people’s lives.
2. That I continue to learn to love myself and care for myself; the decisions I make concerning my life favor me and make my life better.
3. That I am able to take care of the people I love; to make their lives easier and softer,to never a source of sorrow to those who love me.
4. In helping others to be better versions of themselves, I also prioritise my own life, growth, and mental health.
5. That I do not lose the instincts that help me choose friends carefully. That I become more observant of people’s patterns, vibes, and energy. Above all, that I am a better friend; because I attract what I am.
6. That I never lose my joy. That the world doesn’t take away my bubbly spirit. That I never lose the part of me that finds pleasure in the littlest things. That the excitement in my eyes and heart never leaves.
7. That my life is evidence of God’s love. That people see me and see Christ. That they see me and feel the presence of God. I want my life to be a resonance of God’s love.
Six Things You Deserve To Experience In Your Lifetime
1. Love: You deserve to experience sweet, refreshing love. The kind of love that you don’t have to second guess. You deserve the assurance that comes with loving someone and being loved in return.
2. Peace: You deserve to feel at peace in life. No matter what the circumstances may be. True peace is not the absence of challenges, but it is knowing that everything will be just fine in the end, and there is no need to worry.
I woke up this morning and tried to think about the last time I had a Valentine’s date and I realized that I haven’t had one in a long time. I felt sad at first but one thing I avoided was tell myself, “Don’t worry, you’d get one next year,” because what if I don’t?
I calmed myself down and thought about the love I have been shown in life. I realized that I have been loved by people in so many ways, but not being shown love in a certain way - romantically - made me feel like I had never experienced it.
I looked back on my life and thought about how significant I had made romantic love be in my life. Yes, it is a good thing to experience, but there are greater forms of love I should be grateful for.
I know there are posts everywhere on the internet about leaving a relationship or marriage when you are unhappy but very rarely do you hear about people (especially young couples) who took their time to work things out.
Marriage is beautiful but totally worth the wait. Our courtship was long distance but the man at the other end was completely amazing and I could swear I was smitten.
He loved me and still loves me beyond words but there is more to marriage than love. Friendship is most important and it births love. Perfect!
Valentine’s Day is on a Monday, a working day. How sweet. It’s even more wonderful because the day after is a also work day. Tension will not be on the high side. Is there anything too hard for God to do? No.
We know that some of you with unnecessary gragra will still manage to pull it off. We don’t have a problem with this o. No, not at all. We just want to make sure that as you are expressing your love, you are going all out with it.
We don’t want to see any half-baked presents, like boxers, singlet, and paynt. That’s why we said, “Okay o, let us give these people expo.”
1. “Is it something I can do efficiently?”: A lot of us pick jobs that we aren’t quite sure we can perform excellently at. Lack of efficiency will lead to frustration and will also make you hate your job, so make sure you can be efficient at it.
2. “Does it pay well?”: Are you going to be paid your worth? Is the capacity of job you are doing going to match the pay you are being offered? Ask these questions so you don’t end up getting overworked and underpaid.
In my complex, on my way to my house, I see a woman chilling by the pool, she’s gently rocking her baby in the stroller. What catches my eye and ear is her toddler’s scream.
He’s rolling on the floor, crying. I watch him get up, slam himself on the floor and scream louder.
His mother gets up from her lounge position, I assume she’s going to console him. Instead, she pulls back the lounge chairs beside the toddler, dragging them away from him.
Then, she goes back to chilling on her lounge chair,
continues to rock the baby in the stroller while the toddler throws a tantrum.
I move close to her, “Is he okay?” I ask, half smiling, half concerned.
“Oh, he’s fine. He will be fine,” she says. She is quite unbothered.
