When a Son takes the place of a slave

I belong to the LA Family on twitter. It's a study group which L-Learns and A-Applies the Bible Teachings.
Today we were to study the book of Galatians, chapters 3 and 4.

One of the prominent lessons the Holy Spirit taught me today as I studied is what I want to share with you all.
Be Blessed.

Gal 4:1 " Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all" KJV

"...If a Father dies and leaves great wealth for his little son,that child is not much better off than a slave until he grows up, even though he actually owns everything his father had" TLT (the living translation)

Where your heart is ...

Hey loves, how have you guys been? I'm sorry I've been AWOL, I had my issues to sort out but that's a story for another day.

So, I didn't start doing anything (chores and all) today until about 5pm (thank God mum travelled, otherwise I for cry) because I was reading a book. I woke up, checked my twitter and somewhere on my TL someone mentioned the book 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho, I then remembered that a friend of mine told me one time to go read the book, so I quickly went to search for the pdf to download.

I found it, downloaded and opened it, just browse through (just to browse through ooo, that's like read the 1st few pages to see if it will be worth my while) but somehow I ended up reading the whole book and only took a break one time (which led to sleeping) to rest my eyes.

Anyway, amongst the plenty lessons I learnt, there was one very prominent one.
It says "Where your heart is, there your treasure is OR where your treasure is, there your heart will be" { Matt 6:21, luke 12:34}

Live... At The Experience 2013

... At one point during The Experience, Don Moen made us worship God in a whole new way with him playing the keyboard and later, the violin.
A couple of other artistes had performed before him. I enjoyed worshipping God with their songs but amidst the "enjoyment", I had a couple of questions niggling my head and they became stronger when Donnie McClurkin was performing...

•          What is that thing so special about our God that will make thousands of people from all works of life assemble in a historic ground simply to praise and worship Him?
• 
  
•          What is that thing so special about our God that makes knees so weak when worship that we don't know when they bow to the ground?
• 
  
•          What is that thing so special about our God that tears flows when true worship is going on?

How i almost set my house on fire

I could have set my house on fire yesterday. I wanted to prepare dinner for myself (noodles and fried egg). Since noon I had been seeing myself eating noodles as dinner and It was sweet ehn, so I was very highly excited when mum called me to come make my food as she was done making hers.

Ehn! As much as I was excited about the noodles (here’s the thing: mum brought a new type of noodles - Honeywell – to the house and when I tried the onion chicken flavour it was superb, so I had the intentions of trying out the pure chicken flavour so I could decide if I wanted to abandon indomie noodles) I was a little bit reluctant to stand up cause I was watching a movie titled Suits and was totally loving it.
Well sha I did stand up and went to the kitchen.

GHEN GHEN

I lit the gas, placed a frying pan on the gas, poured in oil to hit, broke, spiced and whisk my egg then I went to the sitting room to ask mum where the canton of noodles was. She couldn't remember exactly where it was so she directed me somewhere to check for it.

How our thought pattern affects our lives.

Once upon a time my mind was filled with a lot of negative thoughts. I felt everyone around me was insensitive and uncaring. I was miserable and felt really lonely.
Somehow my thoughts graduated from being one of loneliness to anger. I picked at everything and barked every opportunity I had. This drove the people around me further away. And the more the distance between us, the angrier I got. I was angry at my parents, siblings and even God.
My moods swung every 30seconds or even less, depression was the 'order' of the day. Truth be told, I can't remember how or when this thoughts of loneliness began, I just knew at one point that, my feelings had become gloomy and I had mostly bad foreboding thoughts. *sigh*

I believe ...

I believe-
That we don't have to change friends if we
understand that friends change.
I believe-
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them.
I believe-
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe-
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe-
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe-
That life is a process and what we do today would determine who we are tomorrow.

My Deepest Fear ...

What's your deepest fear?
I'm scared of loneliness. I'm scared I'd have no one who cares around, I'm scared everybody would leave at the end of the day. I'm scared the one's I love most would hurt and abandon me, maybe I'd stop being good enough.
I'm scared of being a failure. I'm scared I'd disappoint my mum. I'm scared I won't be as great as everyone thinks, I'm scared the potentials we all see in me is just a fallacy. I'm scared I'd marry the wrong man. I'm scared I'd be a lousy mum, I'm scared I won't be able to protect and provide for my kids as I should.
I'm scared I'd walk out on God, maybe I'd just lose faith in God one day and become a mess, I'm scared God would get worn out from a life time of endowing me with grace and mercy, maybe he'd give up on me.
