People Change

One great man I have heard of said that he cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what he can say is we must change if we are to get better. At some point in time everybody changes. It might be for the better or worse.  Society is always happy to see one change for the better, but when the change is what society regards as negative, they frown. I have been through a lot and changed through several phases in this life. It hasn’t always been for the best. And yeah… I am aware it’s for the worst. I don’t choose to implement a change in my life knowing very well it is bad, just that at times that seem to be the only if not the best option available to make. Funny though it might seem, it is life. What people don’t seem to get is the fact that change is don’t implemented instantly. You see, as we encounter people day in and day out, we experience things. Things that contribute to what change will come up next in our lives. We go through things that changes us. Our experiences both good and bad, our handling of emotions and the kind of people we meet, as well as, the relations and experiences we encounter in dealing with them. These are the building blocks to the change in our lives. So the next time you go on wondering why I have changed this much, introspect about the things you did to contribute to this change. Because you played your role in bringing this change into being, but remember you alone did not cause did change but you did cast a stone across the waters  to create the many ripples of this change.

Funeral Diaries - Wait

It is said that curiosity kills the cat, and it also killed a lot of Greeks: when Pandora had to open that box full of death and pestilence. Why do we have to know what is behind door number 3 even though we are pretty sure that it would be bad for us. Maybe this is what grieve looks like when you’ve lived a whole healthy life. You come to a point when you think something needs to be done. But what we fail to realize is that at this time there is nothing that needs to be done.  Even when our heart rate starts to drop and it looks like we are not going to survive this time around. I remember that awkward feeling, when there is no more trace of hope, no optimism left within. And all that is left is a feeling of pain, hurts, suffering, grief, agony, discomfort, heartaches and heartbreaks.  At that time we are faced with just two options, the simpler one where we give up and the more difficult one where we do nothing but just wait. It may seem that there is no plan but just waiting in itself is a plan; at times all that matters is to just give yourself a minute.

After you have just lost something huge, something that you’ve been with since day one, and something that has been in your heart since the very beginning. At that time, your heart has only one option which is to learn how to beat without that extra load. It just needs to take a little time to adjust. We just need to be cool, and calm. And allow the heart to find its way through the whole mess, through the whole pain, through the whole hurt. Its then and only then that the heart becomes strong enough to beat without that which it has lived with from the very beginning. So we need to just learn.

funeral diaries - finding love

I've come to learn that people act weird around family of the dead. There are some who talk about every other thing but death or the dead person.there are those who only talk about the dead or death in general. There are those who want to console you and get your mind off things. There are also those who can't help but to let you cry. and then there are, my personal favourite, those who says nothing but looking in their eyes you know everything they are feeling or saying. It's like you communicate telepathically. The bottom line is we meet all sort of people when mourning but what really gets us through this season is not meeting or chatting with these people. The thing that gets us through is the love that emanates from all these people. The unspoken yet expressed love. The thing is this love does not come by default from a particular group of people. For some it's found with family, some with friends, some find theirs with colleagues, some through the imaginaries, fiction and videos. and yet there are the select few who find theirs from complete and total strangers and that is Pretty amazing. irrespective of where this love comes from, finding it gives some kinda assurance that everything will be okay despite your loss, that you'll make it through in one piece. finding it with all those around gives the impression that you have angels all around, angels from above in flesh and blood, who are only here to help you through. For people like myself we look up to the people we love, the people we've dedicated spaces in our hearts or lives for, the people we cherish in our lives for this kinda love. But do we ever get it from the places we seek? Do we ever find it from these people? Where may we find this love if not from the people we love? And then that's also the unlikely scenario where the only thing emanating from the people around is every other thing but love. In this case, it stings like a bee but all you can do then it's to turn to the ultimate love, God. and he'll grant you peace. The baseline is so far as you can find love; notwithstanding where it comes from, you know you'll be just fine.

Disney Gentlemen + Different ways to say “I love you”

[kslittlediary-blog]

SUCH IS HIS LOVE This Journey of life and its race Made me find myself in a dark place And I thought it was the end of my days. I couldn't even afford life Even if it were sold. I wouldn't even know how to thrive Even if I were bold. Instead love reached me in this place And freely paid my bill without a trace. Such is His love I remember when you picked up the cross And you elevated all sin. When you bled on it with no 'dross' And bore my iniquities on you skin. The creator punished by His creatures And the Immortal bruised by His mortals. You suffered a treatment undeserved So I enjoy a love undeserved. Such indeed is Your love. So I am endorsed to say this; There is no condemnation for those who embrace this love. While in your deepest sin, He extended his deepest Love. His mercies stand a greater tower Than your sins can ever climb. For there is no love greater Than for One to give His life for another And such is His love. He who took off his cloak of royalty And saved you even without your loyalty, He who did not spare His beloved Only so he can call u beloved, Loves you beyond your imaginations. So speak this to all generations; That Love in its fullest manifestations, Is reaching out to all the nations. For such is His love for His Creations. BY JUDE 20.07.2015

Last week I saw a quote on a filing cabinet in my supervisor's office. The quote was, "if you're busy judging people, you won't have time to love them." One thing I've come to understand in this world is that we all have our battles. We all have our strengths and we all have our weaknesses. I spoke about this some time ago. Why you shouldn't judge. Why God doesn't want us to judge. I wrote a piece on it and posted it on Facebook. People seemed to be touched. But just in case you forgot, here's the deal God says don't judge. Why? Because as humans, we always view things from our own perspective. I find it easy to talk in public so when I meet someone who can't, u see them as timid. If you can study for 4hrs straight and your average is good, when you meet someone who doesn't like studying and is on pass, you see them as not serious. That's how we are as people. Our views on others are based on how we live our lives. But hardly do we put ourselves in the shoes of the other person. In piece I wrote, You call me fat but wouldn't you be if your only friend was the fridge? You say I'm timid but wouldn't you be if you were always being told to shut up? You call me skinny but wouldn't you be if your whole family had to share a bowl of rice? I smoke to calm down I drink to forget I sleep around because I just crave someone telling me they love me I may have been stupid enough to get pregnant but I'm smart enough to keep it and strong enough to move on with life. The excuses may be silly to you but they're my excuses. So what is your excuse for judging me? That's the last stanza Now when you see someone addicted to alcohol, what is your impression? When you see someone who is gays, what is your impression? The thing is, if you knew what battles someone is fighting, you might be shocked. If you had to go through what he is facing you might have killed yourself by now. Never be fooled by the strength of someone's smile. Don't expect people to tell you what they're going through. That's why Jesus told us to love unconditionally. Not everyone can tell you what goes on in their mind. Even if they're your spouse Don't just say, "I expect you to talk to me." Just be there. Don't advice. Don't try to help. Don't try to fix. Just be there for the person. That's love. Allow people to deal with things in their own way. And pray for and with them. That's it. Don't look at people with human eyes. Look at people with the eye of God. Some people jump to anger whenever they feel pushed. Don't walk away from such a person. Just love them. Some people naturally push people away when they face difficulty. Give them space but don't leave them. Don't look at people based on what you see them do. Don't judge a book by its cover. If only you could walk a mile in his shoes, if only you could live her life for a day. If only you could survive in his mind. If only you could enter her nightmares and see what is tormenting her. So all your friends who seem to be on the road to destruction, instead of talking to them, what do you do? You talk about them. You discuss them with other friends. How is that helping him? All I'm saying is, never ever think you know someone. Never think they're doing something on purpose. Never discriminate. Never judge. Never shun. Rather, always love and accept people. Because in their time of struggle, that's when they need a friend. Mr. President

Just a line to say I’m living, That I’m not amongst the dead. Though I’m getting more forgetful, And mixed up in the head. I've gotten used to my arthritis , To my dentures I've resigned. I can cope with my bi focals, But - ye gods - I miss my mind.

Sometimes I can’t remember When I’m standing by the stairs, If I’m going up to get something, Or have just come down from there. And before the fridge so often, My mind is full of doubt; Now did I put some food away Or come to take some out.

If it’s not my turn to write dear, I hope youwon’t get sore. I thinki might have written, And don’t want to bea bore, But remember I do love you, And wish that you lived near, And now it’s time to mail this And say “goodbye my dear”.

I’m standing beside the mailbox And my face - it sure is red, Instead of posting this to you I’ve opened it instead

Charles Wesley Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last. Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing. Wilt Thou not regard my call? Wilt Thou not accept my prayer? Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall - Lo! on Thee I cast my care; Reach me out Thy gracious hand! While I of Thy strength receive, Hoping against hope I stand, dying, and behold, I live. Thou, O Christ, art all I want, more than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity. Shared via Hymn Lyrics Android App

Fanny Crosby Jesus, keep me near the cross, There a precious fountain Free to all, a healing stream Flows from Calvary's mountain. In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever; Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me; There the bright and morning star Sheds its beams around me. Near the cross! O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day, With its shadows o'er me. Near the cross I'll watch and wait Hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the river. Shared via Hymn Lyrics Android App

I am weak, but Thou art strong; Jesus, keep me from all wrong; I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. Refrain: Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea, Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. Through this world of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. When my feeble life is o'er, Time for me will be no more Guide me gently, safely o'er To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

i think almost is the saddest word there could be. "i almost kissed her" "we almost made it through" "it almost happened" its a word used when you expect a certain thing to happen, but life turns into another direction, and you’re just stuck there wishing.
