Accept Change, Face Reality.

A lot of times in our lives, we have lost something or someone that meant a lot to us. And ever since then, we have stopped writing our own happy stories. We go round and round our problems instead of facing it. You are no longer thankful for anything, nothing amuses you, I think it is time you stop making your self so bad. I am so sure that people around are tired of the pity party you have been throwing yourself lately. Wishing that your emotions were different will not help a thing. It only stops your joy. That’s all.

Your life has changed, something is missing. It’s no longer there. Stop searching.

You have stopped being thankful because of that fateful day. You really want me to tell you why you should be thankful?

You lost one person not every one you knew in your life. Imagine being the only one in you life. Tragic, right? Stop already.

You have always been in the background right? What of that girl that walked up to you and said you have changed her life?

You failed how many courses again? What of your friend that was asked to withdraw?

The last time you checked you account you weren’t satisfied with what you saw, remember the young boy you saw on the streets?

Start being thankful again!

I am sure you have started having a rethink. It’s time for you to get back on your feet again. Face your life and start writing and believing in your happy stories and happy endings again. Everyone has missed the real you!

For you!

We all have days when we feel more emotional. Different things could cause this. A difficult roommate or friend, a situation that seems to have lingered for too long. It could be a flash back from your past or those dreaded days when you feel the hurt, pain or guilt again. There could be so many reasons why.
        When there are situations like that, the first thing to do is not blame anyone for your feelings. You are totally responsible. Jonatan Martensson once said, "feelings are like waves, we can't stop them from coming, but we can choose which one to surf. Make up your mind to disallow your feelings control you. you do not have to act the exact way you feel.
        Joyce Meyer said, Unbridled emotions might be compared to a little child who wants to have and do everything, but does not understand the dangers of some of those things present. the parent must control the child, or he or she will sure hurt himself and others. We must parent our emotions. We must train them to serve us so we don't become their slave.
If you are ready to master your emotions, say this with me and mean it. "I choose to do what is right no matter how I feel".

Make it happen!

There are so many things that we wish to change in our lives. Because of the situation we have found ourselves in, we begin to say "if wishes were horses....bla bla bla." I'm sure if our bodies could speak, they would tell us confidently that they are tired of the pity party we have been throwing ourselves. It's time to stop wishing and wise up. There is nothing that we want that is so out of our reach. All we need to do is to rise up and make it happen. We have to decide not to let ourselves be victims anymore of whatever, by any means happened to us. There is still a whole lot more in you, you can't let it out by wishing but by making it happen. Get all you need to take off and fly high. It really does not matter how many times you fail, but how many times you get back on your feet and say..."I'm not giving up!

SWERVE.....

She kept on crying and held on to me like she was never going to let me go. I cried with her too. Her life was a total wreck. She had made a lot of mistakes. She did not want to leave. She kept saying amidst her wailing, "I want to die". 30 minutes prior to this time, she narrated what was to me a non- fairy tale. She had done everything that was wrong you could think of.
        At the age of 9, Jemima was raped by her 21 year old uncle. She grew exposed to things she shouldn't be. she became pornography addictive and from then on, she couldn't do any thing right. 
        Everything in her life was falling apart. Her self esteem, her relationships, everything. Her mom looked for help wherever she thought possible until she met me. She told me everything and I wanted so much to meet Jemima but I was also anxious. What could I possibly tell her? What? But I met her anyway. She was tired, she had had enough so she let it out. Jemima is better today, she's healing, most of all, she's thanking God she met me.

 It's possible to blame everyone and everything around her right? In fact, that's exactly what you're doing right now. Her uncle, her mother, technology, everything but Jemima didn't. Everyday that she woke up, there was a better life. There was something better. She just needed someone to tell her this is not you, there's a better you. But no one did, it was judgement and condemnation she got everytime.
        I tell you, someone around you needs your help. The person is right by you. all you need to do is SWERVE!

Let go and let God!

"You have held on to that pain for way too long. Yes they all hurt you bur darling, it's time to let go". These were my words to this girl that had decided to ruin her life because of her so many hurts. She had cried and now sobbed amidst her short but touching words, "they hurt me, they kept hurting me....my mom did nothing, she never believed me. I tried telling her, my pain tried telling everybody but all they did was judge me".
       Can we then ask God why he made Keren so pretty? Can we ask her why she did not hide from them? Can we ask her mother why she did not buy Keren big clothes that covered her body and showed just her face? i ask you today who can we blame for Keren's hurt? NOBODY. Nobody could see it coming. How is she meant to prepare for five different rapes by different people at different times?
       "But baby, you survived it. You're here now. I want you to cry. Yes, cry. Cry it all out, the pain, the hurt, the unforgiveness, the betrayal, cry it all out sweetheart. You have to be somebody in life, a great person. They won't determine that, you will. Keren let go, and let God"
       "I led Keren to Christ that day and since she has been healing. Everyday she is a brand new person. you can call it therapy yeah? lol.
      
No one is ever responsible for what you make out of your life. Not even your past. All you need to do is simply let go. No one will do it for you, you do it for yourself. Just let go!

We live in a very critical hour. Time is much too short to waste playing around with sin. It's time to turn away from evil and walk in the wisdom and ways of God. Gloria Copeland said that. I thought, really there isn't much time the way we think there is. You and I are witnesses to the fact that time isn't waiting, lets do the right thing now. The days of playing around are over, the days of doing the wrong things repeatedly. Lets make it a decision today to become God's friend. Let us love him and do his will. Trust me, it's time. There is no better time than NOW!!!!

At last....

I kept feeling down and rejected
I thought, I felt no one loved me
I felt God has deserted me
That his love for me had changed
I became depressed again
I cried out to him in my lonely state
"I need joy in my life Lord
Show me that you are still here for me
And my loving father, my friend, said
the choices I was making hurt him
He could no longer reach me
I couldnt reach him either
It was not his fault, it was mine.

His love for you never changes. He wants so much to get you out of your numerous "mess". Just let him ant trust him to take care of your mess.
