Sunday. The seventh day

In the bible, the seventh day symbolises the day of rest. God created the world in 6 days and rested on the seventh day. Today I went to church, it was amazing. Restomg does not mean sleeping the whole and not doing anything. It means not doing any hard labour, or any work that you do during the week.

The day can be used to go to church, praise and give God the glory. Let me tell something one of the pastors said that hit home. He said that a relationship is a two way street, of it's a one way road, then it's not a relationship. Then he proceeded to ask; now that you know the definition of a relationship, do you have a relationship with God ? 

He said that it applies to all relationships, you can't expect someone to always be there to listen to you but you don't make time to hear them out. You can't always be taking from people, that is draining the next person. And constantly being the giver is exhausting in all aspects. You cannot have a relationship with someone if you don't respect and love them. Love is not just a four letter word. Love is what enables you to think about the stranger coming behind you with heavy baggage as you're about to close the door. Love is infinite. It is what allows us to see a neighbour in each and every person and show kindness and a helping hand when needed.

Always be kind. Even when the situation doesn't require it, be kind anyway, but don't allow yourself to be taken for granted. Someone said that if respect is no longer served at the table, leave.Kindness and a helping hand goes a long way. There too many cruel people on the world, be different. That's my thought for today. Don't forget 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
