Closer Than A Brother

I bet a lot of us are looking forward to St Valentines day, while a few of us cannot be bothered. Now, hold on! It's not because you don't love chocolate or wine or teddy bears and jewellery. It's because you don't have someone to share it with, or you are just not feeling loved. There are times when I just wished God who says He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother could just come down, draw me close, and I could just cry my eyes out on His shoulder. Sadly,He can't come down and manifest as a strong, broad, shoulder. Sure, I feel His strong presence ,sure I feel His Love. When I remember His Word. But He has also sent certain people into our lives; people who will not laugh at our present circumstances or tease us for our inadequacies; people who believe in us and appreciate us; people who are just a call away. Just yesterday, I was distraught because I was unable to get a positive result from a project I am presently handling, and then a friend cal...

FORgiveNESS

Forgiveness means to FORget the wrong and GIVE your heart to God to mend it. A few years ago, a 'friend' really hurt me. She was someone I was not close to but just had a habit of 'paving' the way for me.  At first, I found it childish that she would say things about me that were not true and would read several meanings to my actions or words. At first I thought she would stop, but she didn't. Because I was not a talker, I was waiting to see Karma catch up with her; but Karma never did. When my other relationships began to get sour based on this assassination of character, I just internalized the hurt and tainted my perspective of everyone; everyone was sent to hurt me. Next, I isolated myself and drowned in my pain . I was hurt because my actions were constantly misconceived and it seemed no one  gave me  a chance to show them who I was. I let hurt cloud my judgement and reasoning. I have experienced a lot of identity crisis in the past trying to b...

Enough Already!

With Summer comes a restless three year old who is awake before 7:00 am and is knocking on my bedroom door. It dawned on me  that I had to find a way to channel Arielle's energy so that we both wouldn't tear our hairs out. While shopping yesterday, I decided to buy a few everyday items to keep Arielle busy; straws, finger paints, flour, food coloring. With the help of Google and some worksheets, I hope to keep her busy and make her wiser. It is essential that she's more intelligent after the summer break. So, I drew up a table so we could establish a routine for work, and then play. Today, we revised some of what she learnt in Literacy last term; phonic sounds s,a,t, and i. Then we read some words. and we decided to snip at some colorful straws and make a patterned necklace. It was so much fun for her. I wish you all the best in keeping your LO busy at this time.
