A MESSAGE TO A DISCOURAGED HEART (Volume 2)


NELSON'S EXPERIENCE

 Nelson had a lot of things to do but 24 hours seemed very few to him. He tried to fall asleep but sleep wasn't forthcoming. His mind was encumbered with the thoughts of his present poor financial status and family challenges.


He had just lost a major contract job and money was very tight. The burden of all these things told greatly on him that it threatened to destroy him completely.
        Like it was his tradition, he got up and tiptoed into to the edge of  the nursery where his little baby Richard slept soundly.



Baby Richard didn't feel any pressure Nelson felt. He has no idea of what tomorrow held - he just knew his parents would take care of him.

Nelson smiled as he tried to picture how worried Baby Richard would be if he knew all that he needed  tomorrow. He needed so many things he couldn't possibly get for himself - after all, he was just a baby,  and babies can't prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner themselves or get themselves dressed up.

 But if he knew all he needed the next day and felt the impossibility of getting it,  would he say what his dad had been saying - that there was no way and that's the end of it all? Would Baby Richard also have sleepless nights fretting too?
How silly that would be! Baby Richard had parents who loving took care of all his needs. He didn't need to understand how his needs would all be met - it was enough to know his parents would be up to the task in taking care of him. Nelson paused in his train of thoughts. Didn't he have an Heavenly Father caring for him too?
 One who is able! The One who makes a way where there seems to be no way?  A smile suddenly illuminated  his face, and a weight fell from his shoulders. He could curl up and rest, even without answers, just like Baby Richard, confident that his Heavenly Father had it all under control.

I CAN DRESS MODESTLY AND STILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL

Image
Indecent dressing is fast becoming an epidemic especially among young persons (especially among females). The rate of increase in immodesty is alarming as many have now thrown to the gutters the initial purpose of wearing clothes which is to cover their nakedness. Another reason why people may decide to wear clothes is to appear 'presentable' and most importantly 'beautiful' but even this has been abused by some. I strongly believe that is not out of place in the 21st century to have young ladies who dress modestly and still look beautiful! I have seen a number of them and this remains one of the reason they have gained my respect. It is the same for every other responsible guy out there. This is what some females fail to know. It is to that effect I've decided to join this movement #You can dress modestly & still look beautiful. I totally agree with what Doug Herman,  the author of the book 'Come clean' said in his book. ...

PAUSE AND THINK (Vol.2): BEFORE SAYING THOSE WORDS!

Image
I’m sure you were able to pick one or two things from the previous volume, ‘pause and think before pointing that finger’. This volume promises not to be an exception as we’ll be looking at something very critical. Critical because we are all involved and connected with this subject. We use it every day of our lives! I’ll like to also include that the writer of this article is also not exempted from the ‘blames’, messages and lessons that can be drawn from the article. We’ll be talking about PAUSE & THINK BEFORE SAYING THOSE WORDS’   WORDS! WORDS!! WORDS!!! Human beings are very sensitive to words especially on the receiving end. Interestingly, we fall to both the giving and receiving end, although at specific moments. This article majorly addresses ‘the givers’.   Words have the power of influence both on the positive and negative side. The subject of ‘words’ must not be taken for granted. Words are instruments. Words relay feelings, emotions, moments,...

FRIENDSHIP SCANDALS (Volume 1)

Image
FRIENDSHIP SCANDALS. Why Friendship scandals? It doesn't sound cool, does it?  Nope, it doesn't. Here, we'll not only be concerned with personal life experiences of people with regards to friendship matters but the lessons we can learn from these experiences to be better friends and develop better friendship qualities much more. Don't get me wrong. Friends are cool to keep when are good. Be one! It promises to be lessons packed. It would entertain several parts that cuts across betrayal, jealousy, pride, lies, selfishness, malice, distrust, pretence and many more.  I GOT TIRED OF HER LIES! After my experience with Cecilia, I was thrown into confusion on which gender had more 'professional liars'. Within a short period of time I had gulped over a litre of lies. But why? Was she trying to impress me, paint a different picture of herself or what? I admired people for being real, truthful and unique. All these things were present i...
