Sunday, rest day

Today is Sunday. The last day of the week. The day to rest and praise God. Today I am blogging on my phone, my laptop does not have internet connection, but I made sure that my phone does, so I can not repeat yesterday's incident.

I have a bad cough, it's been going on for a few weeks now. I am not the type to get sick, but this cough has me on ckokehold, literally. I don't like being being sick, it is not nice. In my family, I'm the one who gets sick the least times in a year. Another thing is that, I am not really a fan of pills and syrups. My sister just recommended that I rub Vicks Vaporub on my throat. I just did, and now I am lying in bed. There is hope, I feel better than I did five minutes ago.

So, my Sunday. Today I didn't go to church. I had many things to do, and thankfully I managed to finish everything. Even it was kinda challenging because I was babysitting, and I was in charge of Sunday dinner. It was amazing, the compliments were rolling, and my family couldn't stop licking their fingers, that's how good the food was. I enjoy cooking for my family. It's one of the things that make me happy. I am looking forward to having my own family so I can also cook for them. 

Today I was watching Our Perfect Wedding reality TV show with my family and it was a very interesting episode. The man was marrying a second wife. The first wife seemed very accepting of the whole situation. The three of them sat together at the reception main table and they looked beautiful. My sister seemed a bit offended by this polygamous wedding. I admired the vision and direction of the husband, he is clear with his intentions. The kids that have altogether are 12, but the husband made it clear that he wants 20 kids. The first wife commented that she is done having kids. I guess this means that she will not mond another wife coming into the marriage. That is really brave. 

The husband invited Musa Mseleku, the most famous polygamist in South Africa, to be a guest speaker at the wedding. The husband did point out that that will definitely be more wives, and he would like Musa Mseleku to be his mentor. He is only 40 years old, he still has a few more years to fulfill that. I honestly think that was a beautiful episode, I loved how peaceful things proceeded, no drama at any point, it was simply beautiful. 

I share this with you because this was honestly the second highlight of my day, after the amazing dinner I prepared. What are your thoughts on polygamy (man with multiple wives) or polyandry (woman with multiple husbands) ? Remember to engage, follow, share and watch out for my next post...

I love you, but Jesus loves you more.

A moment of confusion: story of my life

 Today I would like to talk about something that I have been thinking a lot about lately. This involves someone of the opposite gender. Ever since I have given my life to Christ and actively sought Him, my perspective on romantic relationships has shifted drastically. Here is the story, grab a chair, it's quite long... Let me give the guy the name K. K and I have known each other for about 5 years now. We tried something back when I was in high school. It wasn't really a relationship, but at that time, it was the closest I had to a relationship. This was because was unavailable most of the time because of my strict parents and also because we lived far apart, and could only see each other whenever I got a chance to go to town, which was not very often. So most of our relationship was on the phone, basically, our relationship deepened on the phone.  Things were going smoothly until I lost my phone at school, we didn't communicate for about 3-4 months. I could only contact hi

Happy New Week

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today is day 10/365 of blogging everyday for a year. My life is so boring, I have no idea what I will be blogging about in the next 355 days, but please bear with me, because God is good.  Remember the things I said I am looking forward to in this new month ?, they're currently stagnant. But I have a small amount of hope that things wiI start moving. I haven't left the house since this month started. It's been quite a while since I stepped out of the house, the idea of it kinda scares me now.  I am dedicating more time to reading the Bible and spending time with God, and this 'boring' phase in my life is exactly what I need to focus on myself and my relationship with God. As I mentioned some time ago, I am taking a break from social media(Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), for some time. I have made an exception with YouTube, I will only allow myself 3 videos a week max. This break is going to help me reduce external voices and/or influence in my

Being a student/ learner

Image
 What does it mean to be a student? Is it only going to school and sitting in class? Let me tell you what I think. Being a student is about being teachable and willing to learn new things or to learn old things differently. I believe an old dog can be taught new tricks, no one is ever too old to learn anything. At the end of the day, life is the greatest teacher. So as long as you're still alive, make every day an opportunity to learn something new. There was a point in my life where I felt like everything was going south, I kept asking myself "Why is this happening to me ?" and someone said to me "The question you should be asking is "What can I learn from this ?" That response forever altered my thought pattern and my overall perception of life. This helped me to get out of the victim mindset and actually learn from different situations. The same applies in school if you fail a grade, you will find yourself repeating another year in the same class, with d
