Life is A Process

I have lived just about 18 years on earth but I have experienced a lot - Good and BAD alike.
In all though, God has taught me that LIFE IS A PROCESS and that there's a lesson in everything (and a reason for everything).
I have come to realise that everything I have had to go through has been for a reason.
I know now, that my issues hasn't just been for me to deal with something but for me to GET something out of it FOR TOMORROW.

Life is a Journey.
Life is a Process.
Life is in Stages.
Life is full of Lessons.
Life is about experiences.
MY LIFE is for a Reason.


God is amazing.
He makes us (makes me) Go through ish's because he knows we need the experiences to be able to deal and handle our Tomorrow.
I'm certain now that, .it is not just Is.
I know now, that I am what I am today because of what I went through (Good and Bad) Yesterday. I would be what I would be tomorrow because of what I'm going through today.

Hey people, you going through an Ish today?
You dealing with this serious issue today?
You feel like you shouldn't have to be this and that? That you shouldn't have to be the one dealing with it all?
You going crazy because you feel it is too much for you to handle?
RELAX!
BE STILL!

HE is still GOD, from everlasting to everlasting and so, He'd see you through it.


Relax love, you'd come out of it STRONGER. Your story, your issues would Bless and help People.
You are going through it because God knows you can handle it.
Big challenges birth Great conquerors...

This issue, That issue Is a stepping stone. It is taking you to that next level.

Relax! God is not going to live you stranded.

This is a preparatory stage.

The bigger your challenges, issues and obstacles, The bigger your success and greatness.
Not everyone can successfully handle what you have handled, Not everyone is capable of your insight and strength and faith.
Not everyone is FIT for your issues.

You have this things to deal with because YOu can handle it, because of where YOU are going.

Relax and get as much lessons as you can.
God is with you all through.

A Visit to An Orphanage - The imprint it has left in My heart.|| An Urge For YOU to DO Something.

.I met Some Amazing people today..

They are all kids between the ages of 1 and 10 and they live in an orphanage home.


I and few of my friends embarked on a visit to an orphanage home today.
As the gate of the home opened, we were greeted with smiling faces of children, they all eagerly looked to see who had come into your abode.
As we proceeded to the reception to drop the items we went with and to get any information or rules we need to know and adhere to while we are there, a couple of the children ran to some of us and just hugged us (oh what Joy I know we all felt).

After the permission to play and interact with the kids were granted, we gathered around the kids, asked for their names and introduced ourselves. We then proceeded to play a few games with the kids.

The Joy that radiated from the kids touched me deep now, I saw how much of a home they had,filled with lots of brothers and sisters. They were eager to play games, to answer questions, they all wanted to be carried and played with -given special attention.
They did fight and quarrel, much like we all do with our siblings at home.
.......
Miracle is one Boy I got really fond of, he was actually the first to hug any of us. He's in Primary one and about 6yrs old. He's smart and willing to be interacted with. I bet that boy would have lots of Friends. He didn't want to let any of us go, continually gripped my hand or someone else's why we were there.

Doris, an exceptional girl. Cute and very smart. She loves phones, immediately I got out my phone she took hold of it and began snapping everyone, she also played snake game with my phone. We talked a lot, also argued - hehe. she is one amazing child. Takes instructions immediately, then comes right back and does what you corrected her for :D.

Susan, a girl affected with down syndrome. She doesn't talk, only smiles. She's very fine even with her deformity. I couldn't help but weep in my heart.

Mercy, another child with an infirmity. She's fat,dark and fine. Always smiling, loves to play. She's hears very well but doesn't Talk, instead her words comes out as sounds (that one could be understood though). She loved my hand band, kept looking at it, then when I gave her, her smile broaden.

They was Jeremiah, Angel, Success, Deborah, lynda, osahon and a few others.

They all were kids full of smiles,without a care in the world. Eager to play and even to pray (As when we wanted to share biscuits for them, we gathered around each other and almost every one wanted to Bless the food and to Ask God to Protect and Guide us).


.......


As we left the Home, a thousand thoughts played and fought for pre eminence in my head, a thousand words wanted to burst out of my mouth in expression of my feelings, but yet, Nothing came out. Yes! I was overwhelmed.

.This was my first visit ever to an orphanage home and it has left a lasting imprint in my heart..

......

As I lay down I write this, I'm Grateful for what I have. I'm thankful for my family, for my parents, For Me - just being me,as I am.

So many times, I complain about my parents, about my background, but looking at those kids today, I'm Grateful.

..I Know my biological Parents, I live with them, they Pay my Fee's, clothe me and feed me.
No matter how my relationship with them maybe, the issue is I have a Relationship with them. I know them and they know me and we are concerned about each other's welfare.

..Many times, I complain Life is unfair, because things don't Go the way I want. Yet! I know I have a future. I go to school and I know I'd be something great. I have HOPE for a better tomorrow.

..I get pissed when I don't find a particular food to eat, or when I don't have a particular clothe to wear. Yet, I'm not starved or naked.


...Today,I discovered that most of these kids in orphanage homes, ain't certain of a future. They live each day as it comes and are glad when someone steps in for a visit, for they know Food, clothes or gifts has come.
~Today, I am reminded of the children who didn't have the opportunity of knowing their parents, I'm reminded of the children who were dumped or who lost their parents at birth or very early in life.
~I am reminded of people,who live from hand to mouth. Who live each day hustling for food for that day.
~I am reminded of those kids that hawk. Those who steal,prostitute,smoke because they know no other way to live. Those kids who sleep under the bridges,and in uncompleted buildings. Those kids who are trafficked and can't come out of it because them being trafficked gives them food and shelter.
~I am reminded of those kids who live with their parents but yet haven't seen the four walls of a school before - Due to lack of finance.
~I am reminded of the widows who do not know what to do, because their husbands who is the bread winner has died.
~I am reminded of the young girls and boys who are into prostitution, armed robbery, kidnapping etc because they never had someone to give them advice, offer them kind words or give them hope.
~I am reminded of those kids who die in the process of hustle and yet never had someone preach the Gospel to them.
The list goes on and on.

.As I'm grateful for what I have, So have I decided to give these people Hope, to continually try and put smiles on their Faces, to Inspire and Motivate.

Be grateful of what you have, they are people that wish they had what you have.
You life is a bed of roses to someone out there.

I urge you, yes you reading this to Please, HELP SOMEONE TODAY.
~Reduce the size of your wardrobe and give those clothes to people who need them more.
~share your food
~Donate something, anything to an orphanage.
~Pay a visit and just put smiles on the less privileged faces.
~Help send someone to school.
~Get someone out of the street.
~Say A Prayer for Those who lack the little you have.
-Help support an NGO or a project that focuses on the people in slums, the orphans, the maltreated, The hawkers, The widows, the Less privileged.
-Volunteer, lend a hand.
-Give and idea
-Inspire, Motivate.
-say a kind word
-give a tip
-smile at someone
-Just DO something, Anything.

.your little effort could mean the world to someone.

The world would be a better place if we all agree to help our neighbours that we are better than.

.Our purpose as Christians on earth is to actually to serve God and help other people, to do good deeds.

?Please, Quickly Check eph2:10; james1:27; heb10:24?

.Love your neighbour. You can't love without helping, Without giving..

DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN, BY ALL THE MEANS YOU CAN, IN ALL PLACES YOU CAN,AT ALL TIMES YOU CAN, TO ALL PEOPLE YOU CAN,AS LONG AS EVER YOU CAN.

Don't Stop Learning

Too many people suffer from "destination disease." In other words, they've reached a certain level or obtained a goal, now they're coasting in life off of what they've already learned.
Studies tell us that 50% of people, after they graduate from high school, will never read an entire book the rest of their life.
One reason is that people see learning as a period of life instead of a way of life. They think, "I'm out of school. I'm done with my training. I've got my job."
But, God never created us to reach one level and stop. Whether you're 90 years old or 9 years old, you should be constantly learning, improving your skills, and getting better at what you do.

The key is that you have to take responsibility for your growth.
Growth is not automatic.
What steps are you taking to get better? Are you reading books? Listening to teaching CD's? Are you taking any courses on the internet? Going to any seminars? Do you have any mentors? Don't just coast through life relying on what you've already learned. You have treasure on the inside. Develop your talent and become all that God created you to be.

Control your anger

A Professor was teaching about Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer turns away wrath,but a harsh word cause quarrels"

He asked his students, "Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each
other when they are upset?"
The students thought for awhile. One
said, "because we lose our calm".
"But why shout when the other person is just next to you?" Asked the professor. "Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person
when you are angry?"
The students gave some answers but none
satisfied the Professor.

Finally he explained, "when two people are
angry at each other, there is a distance in their hearts psychologically. To cover the distance, they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are,the stronger they will shout to hear each other through that great distance.
Then the Professor asked, "What happens when two people fall in love?
"They don't shout at each other but talk softly. Why? Because their hearts are psychologically close. The distance between them is very close. The Professor continued, "When they love each other even more, what happens? They don't speak, only whisper and they even get closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all...

So next time you shout on a loved one, know that you are creating distance between your heart and that person's heart.
So please learn to control your anger and the word you say when you are pissed off.

Make the world a better place and just Love.


"A gentle answer turns
away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

Your company Determines You

"Show me your friends and I'd tell you who you are"

"Birds of the same feather Flock together"

"You are the average of the five people you spend you most time with" - Jim Rohn


Statistics and History has proven that you become like the people you spend most of your time with.

.........

Was in deep thought today, when this hit me big!

It made go further in meditation and the end result was "Be careful your company, they determine to a large extent who you are and who you would become"

When I became friends with 'A', one could keep out just a handful of things we had in common but as days passed into weeks and weeks, month, the amount of things we had in common increased. Yes! We were rubbing off on each other.
The same goes for Me and my other friends and then, when I decided to look into Us as a group I realised that one could easily pick out things that WE ALL had in common. How did that happen? As when we just met, we were individualistic in majority of our ways and habits, but now, this individualistic habits and traits have slowly become what WE ALL DO.

No wonder, Parents always warn their kids about their friends.

Whether we choose to believe it or not, we influence our friends and vice versa and No matter how strong willed we may term ourselves to be, our defences crumble little by little with every passing moment we spend with someone, hence giving room for influence.

Look around you, are your closest Pals very different from you? Are their dreams and aspirations entirely different from yours? Are their perceptive of life and their pattern of thinking different from your's? Of cause Not! They are always similarities.

Infact, before you become friends with someone you look for a quality at least that they have in common with you or a quality you'd like to emulate and as the friendship grows, So the transfer of qualities accelerate.


All I'm trying to say is, Your company reflects who you are and who you'd be.

...........

So here's the Main Ish.

Surround yourself with the kind of people that have qualities you'd like to have.
Surround yourself with people who have succeeded in the area you'd like to succeed.
Surround yourself with people with similar values and perceptive.
Surround yourself with people with positive attitude.

Make friends with, people with whom you can grow together
Make friends with those you can look up to
Make friends with people you'd be proud to show off
Make the Right Friends, The one's that can help to rightly define you.


.......

If you are currently with the kind of friends that pull you back, that only take from you and have nothing to give, that fill the environment they are in with negativity, that lack the qualities you'd want to be associated with, that have different core values and perceptive from you, Then Please Run Away, Stay Away from them Or you'd find yourself, where you'd never wish to be.


God has your back always...
Jesus is the bestest friend you could ever have.


Be careful your company, They define you.
