Dancing in the rain

You need to be broken to know what it feels like to be whole.
You need to go through a blistering winter to appreciate the warmth of the sun.
You need to have been unlovable to truly appreciate what love is.
You need to have been through the dark to understand the Light.
You need to have been a “write-off” to fully grasp the concept of grace,
You may have to be battered and bruised to know what it feels like to be healed.

When you’re going through what seems to be a never-ending storm, KNOW that it shall pass. While you’re waiting for it to pass, dance in the rain! For in the same way diamonds are made through pressure, we are made better people through our trials. What you we go through can change you, but never be reduced by it.

For the ladies :)

So many people are caught up in the Hollywood craze of trying to be bigger (boobs), better (botox) more beautiful. Caught up in the stereotypes of what is regarded as beautiful. Waiting for the latest showbiz news to see what’s in and what’s out and what new eat-a-grape-a-day type diets have been discovered. Crazy things we do to look good and to be acceptable to prying eyes. So often we forget that beauty is skin deep, and it goes far beyond the exterior and the centimeter thick layer of foundation we put on to cover up the blemishes; blemishes that are like your special unique barcode. Every freckle on your face is where it’s supposed to be. Every dimple on your body is right where it’s meant to be. All the jiggly bits, the coarse “mufushwa” hair ARE A PART OF YOU and make you YOU-nique. People, especially women need to FALL in LOVE with themselves. Stop wishing you had someone’s legs, another person’s behind and whoever else’s eyes, BECAUSE, YOU ARE NOT THEM. If you needed their body parts you would have them.

Often people spend too much time "improving" their exteriors when they really should invest in their interiors. Develop a good character and that inner beauty will radiate externally. Beauty is vain and a beautiful face is forgettable, but a person with a beautiful character is hard to forget.

With that said,

There’s nothing wrong with taking care of your body, staying in shape and generally being on point but make sure you do it for the right reasons.

No matter how big or small you are, walk with confidence on your lapelle. Be confident in who and what you are because you are created PERFECTLY (I SAID PERFECTLY) in His image.

*peace, love and blessings*

Sultry Seductress

Numbed to sin. Anesthetized to profanity.
Lured in and sucked in by her sweet words.
Charmed by the sultry seductress called Sin.


Invulnerable conscience. Dead moral sense.
A need to fit in;
A need to be “accepted” by a world glorifying Sin.

Created uniquely,
To be an individual,
But being lost in a crowd of Sin.

Wasting a good life away,
For a stint with Lady Sin
Who’s an unfaithful partner; luring others in while she’s with you.

In a topsy turvy world,
Where what’s wrong is right and what’s right is “uncool”,
Who could blame one for being caught up in her web of deceit.

But like a cheap prostitute,
She’s only in it for what she can get,
It ain’t about you, it’s all about her getting her way.

She promises of a better life, an easy way out, a break from reality
So she can get more people batting for her team
...After all the more the merrier, RIGHT?

BUT, like misery, sin loves company.
Sin will continue to exist as long as people continue to glorify and justify sin.
We aren’t perfect, but it doesn’t mean we should stop striving to be better people.

Live with the end in mind

Reckless. Thoughtless. Careless. Imprudent. Irresponsible in thought, deed. Making rash decisions that could cost you your future; a moment's pleasure that could cause you a lifetime of pain.

There's a big difference between worrying about the future and living with the end in mind. Living with the end in mind means you live life and make very decision based on what effect it'll have on your life in the future. it's all about making responsible decisions that may be difficult in the moment but will lead to you living a happier life in the future.

The trick to living with the end in mind is striking a balance between living life to the fullest day by day and remembering that although we are to ENJOY our lives, for every action there's a REaction. You may not immediately see the consequences of your actions but sooner or later they will show.

Plan ahead. Think about, but don't worry about the future. Do what you can and trust God to do what you can't.

Accident? I don't think so!

I’ve stopped believing in coincidence, chance or things happening somehow. Day in day out, God makes me aware of His influence and I see His hand in my life.

It’s no accident you are surrounded by the people you are surrounded by, in the situation you are in, at the place you’re at. Uncomfortable or unfamiliar as some situations may be, EACH and EVERY position you’re in is meant to grow you. Instead of complaining about your situation, use it as a stepping stone to take you to the next level. Learn as much as you can from those around you and open your mind to new ideas. Take advantage of all the things that surround you and never miss an opportunity to make someone smile.

If you allow Him to order your steps, your paths will be made straight and He will cause all things to work for your good. You will sleep and rise at just the right moment, arrive somewhere at just the right moment, and maybe even arrive at the shoe shop just as the sales lady is slashing 75% off the normal price of the last pair of that shoe you’ve been saving up for! ;-)

Iron sharpens iron, so best believe that if you need some “sharpening” God will cause you to cross paths with some hardcore *iron* people and less malleable *plastic* people.
