Life is swinging
Today, on high
Tomorrow, down below.
It’s a matter of perspective
Things will definitely get better
Such, they always say.
But life keeps swinging
Hopes dashed
Expectations not met.
Don’t give up
Keep pushing forward
They keep reiterating.
Life is swinging fast
I get on the ride, swinging along
I’m done watching from a distance.
Communication is a vital part of every relationship, it’s not enough to just be a good talker you ought to also be a great listener.
Learn, to listen to God, don’t always be the one talking!
There’s something about white
A blank page full of promises
Encouraging, enticing, welcoming
Writing, editing, rewriting
Expressions too deep to be spoken
Words too real not to document
Myriads of possibilities and outcomes.
Before,
Timid
Voiceless
Naive
Now,
Regaining confidence
Speechless
Learning
Later,
Bold
Articulate
Experienced.
Happy International Women’s day in advance
Happy new month lovelies.

Everything revolves around youths and everyone is talking about the youth but the big question is what is youth? Many people have different opinions and definitions on youth but this is what I feel it means to be a youth. This is the period of
Y-our
O-wn
U-sefulness
T-o
H-umanity.
But, how many youths are useful to themselves talk more of being useful to humanity?
Through the seven chapters of this book, we learn about how to follow God’s plan for our lives. Each chapter discusses an aspect that brings us closer to the path God has set before us, the chapter titles are:
1. Running the race.
2. Maintaining a Spirit-Filled life.
3. Consecration to God’s plan.
4. Learning to be led by the Holy Spirit.
5. Different ways the Holy Spirit leads.
6. Obeying God doesn’t cost – it pays.
7. Love’s way is the best way.
The Bible quotations that begin each chapter serve as the bedrock upon which each chapter is expounded with several additional Biblical passages that buttress the points. Kenneth’s inclusion of some personal experience in each chapter further brings the message home, making it much more relatable. Some of these plans include:
– establishing ourselves in God’s word (2 Timothy 2:15)
– being filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18)
– living a worry free life (Matthew 6:25)
– Divine health/healing (Exodus 23:25-26)
He pointed out that “too often our problem in following God’s plan for our lives is that we have failed to train our spirit as we should have. We have spent most of our lives in the mental and physical realms, developing our intellect at the expense of our heart. When we neglect the development of our spirit, our intellect takes the throne in our lives. And our spirit, the part of us which should dominate and guide our mind and body, is kept locked away in prison, so to speak, and is not permitted to function. But the Holy Spirit through the inward witness is always seeking to give guidance to our mind – if we would only take time to develop our spirit and to listen.”
If you are wondering what God’s plan for your life is, this book presents most of the answers referring to several Biblical passages where God pointed out His plans for our lives if only we are willing to obey and follow.
The body changes are enormous,
Bulging stomach
Larger breasts
Fatter body.
The complaints ever increasing,
Headaches
Backaches
Tiredness.
This process
Of birthing life
Is full of ups and downs.
“Mr. Paul, you will pay my client 10 million monthly for your childrens upkeep.”
He smiled, presenting the negative DNA results.
There’s something about your eyes
Their tilt and colour
Emanating laughter and love
Welcoming and relaxing.
There’s something about your voice
It’s pitch and timbre
Potraying confidence and boldness
Soothing yet, commanding.
There’s something about your mind
It’s complexity in simplicity
Understanding abstracts and reality
Evolving and stabilizing.
Happy Valentine’s day 😍
