I SAW THIS NOTE IN ONE OF MY JOURNALS; A CANDID TALK FROM MY MOM.

Dated 18th August, 1997.

My writing skills didn't start today. Wow! I saw this note and I thought I should share it. My mom never stopped lecturing us about life, but I guess we humans love adventure and wouldn't mind doing things our own ways most times. It is a good thing we know better now, that it pays to listen. Thank GOD.

If you genuinely desire to connect with a good man or woman, you must let go of all the time wasting, purposeless and unproductive relationships. 

A bad relationship will hinder you from connecting with the man or woman who is right for you. 

Do not try to manage a mediocre relationship. 

The danger of holding onto a bad relationship for too long is that after a while, it will be very difficult for you to leave, because you have grown emotionally and destructively attached to the person. 

Do not be scared of being alone. Better to be alone than to be in an abusive relationship. 

Pray fervently to GOD for the right partner. 

Any bad trait you see in the person you are dating and the person does not see any wrong in it and has no plan of getting better, do yourself good and save yourself from heart breaks. 

Wow. There is nothing "old school" about this at all. This is the real deal. I was shocked when I saw this note. Bless your heart my sweet mom. Nothing really is new under the sun!

WORD FOR THE DAY

Waiting is painful. The pain is excruciating. Waiting makes you look stupid as though na only you waka come. But, keep feeding your faith during the painful season of waiting! Romans 10:17. Something I've learnt; seasons of waiting are not seasons of inactivity. A lot is going on! GOD is working; orchestrating events. Happy New Month. 😇

WORD FOR THE DAY

If someone talks rudely to a person, it is important to remain calm and not react with hostility. Instead, it is helpful to try to understand why the person is behaving that way and address the situation calmly and respectfully.  If the behavior continues to be disrespectful or abusive, it may be necessary to set boundaries or seek help from a trusted authority figure or support system.

GUARD YOUR HEART AND SPACE!

The enemy has one goal; for you to change the way you're talking. The tongue is a creative force!  A few years ago, I literally was magneting good things, especially people of like minds, money, material things. Everyday favour was my lifestyle. I had a stubborn faith, it annoyed a lot of people, because they felt I was not being realistic, yet everyday brought even better favours. I got a job I didn't apply for;  a very good one!  B ut you see, when your faith is not being sharpened, even though you think you're standing, you'll wake up one day and realise you've hit the rock bottom! Guard your heart and space with all diligence! No matter who the person is, if they are not speaking your faith language, do not make room for them to feel comfortable with their faithless opinions and ideologies. If the church you attend doesn't stir your faith or belief, LEAVE!  Protect your faith journey by living daily on GODS' word and NEVER budge! THE WORD OF GOD WORKS! #
