Thought Diary

This new year has come with a lot of reflections and the events of this week got me thinking a lot, mostly about my life, where I've been, where I am and where I want to be. And one particular incident, whose details I will withhold has shown me just how incredibly rough life can be sometimes. A lot of us seem to find our true meaning of life in this world, and yet, many have found absolutely nothing to their liking. To some, it means laughter and love. To others it may mean trouble, despair and fever dreams. Some will just walk away from this question like they do for everything else in their so called 'life' but there are others who are willing to take the chance and try to figure out their own meaning of life and strive to achieve their solution. Life is never easy but its just the way life goes. It can be so uncertain , never being sure of what lies ahead. But even then life should be handled like a priceless everlasting treasure. It is full of happiness, joy love and

There's an attribute for which I am known for. One for which strangers are prone to comment on when we first meet or notice when I leave my seat. At 5'11, I stand taller than most and it seems as if I cannot walk into a room without comments about how far my head resides above the ground. I've grown accustomed to the gazes and while some may shun me, most are amazed by my stature. But as usual I stride like a model whilst minding my own business or just pretend they're fans coming to gawk. Most times I can't help but appreciate the attention to detail in noticing my stature. Nothing pleases me more than hear someone say  "wow you're tall!". I'm glad that I enrapture so many people's attention. But even better, hearing the vertically challenged beseech me to reach out things for them. I help them out happily because tall is something that I'll always be. What most people don't know is that some things you'll never get to see

It is said that the heart is the center of your soul where you keep all your feelings, goals and even dreams. The heart has a way...more like a door that lets these feelings come out so that people can enter and see what you're about. As a child, we're open, pure and innocent and most of the time we have no real problems to deal with or pain to endure. Well, if there are, they're mostly about things that we have no control over. With maturity, comes confusion on which path to take. We pray that there are no hard decisions to make or disappointments. But with every disappointment, the heartache begins and you start building a door. Each new pain becomes a nail and every scar becomes a board. With the door fully built, you have an easy way out when in doubt or feeling confused. Behind that door, locked in the dark, you may feel safe and secure for a while but then no love can get in and you begin to feel sad and unsure. The road on through life may be rocky, sharp, rough

We crave acceptance, therefore criticism and judgement are hard on us mentally and emotionally. The fact is-it hurts. But confronting the criticism and judgement of other people becomes easier when you remember that ultimately it is before your own master you stand or fall. In the end you will answer to God alone.How can we succeed at what God has called us to if we are overly concerned about what other people think?  If you get the idea in your head that everything concerning your life should always be perfect, you are setting yourself up for a fall. This is not to suggest that you should be negative. But you do need to be realistic enough to realize ahead of time that in fact very few things in life are ever perfect. Many people are hurting terribly and are crying out for help, but they aren't willing to receive the help that God has to offer. It is amazing how we often want things our way. When someone hurts you, you may feel they owe you something, yet Jesus wants you to le

The holiest of all places on this earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love. Men had buddies, women had friends. Buddies bonded but friends loved. Apologies can be hard to make but it takes a spirit of humility to admit our mistake, which may not come naturally for us. But taking responsibility for how we were wrong in a situation can bring healing an restoration to a relationship.. Swallow your pride and make the first move even if you can't find a card to help you say it.  Whenever you offend a friend, apologize and make things right. for if you will admit your wrong you may avoid a needless fight. the best way to get the last word is to apologize. Many times people form close relationship and depend on their friends to be there for them instead of looking to God. Even in the best relationships people will disappoint you because people are not perfect. It is right to love and respect others, but always remember that only God can be count
