Hi Everyone !
I must say am terribly sorry for the long absence, i dont think i have so much of an excuse for neglecting my brainchild for such a long time. Please pardon me all.
I have been preparing for my professional exams again, i mean attending lectures and all, but i must say that isnt enough excuse to be away for such a long time. I hope you didnt think i had disappeared into space.
So what have you all been up to? Great and wonderful things i guess. Well, as for me, i av been up and doing;going about my daily activities as usual and need i say God has been good to me. He has blessed me with a wonderful man;my sweetheart and love of my life;my world and my joy.I make bold to say that he is the best thing that has happened to me in a long while (apart from being saved that is).
Prior to meeting him, i had just broken off with a guy (now my ex). The break up was really painful. I mean i had made up my mind that i wasnt gonna give any guy the chance to come close to me, talk more of breaking my heart again;but when i met my Hearthrob, he changed all that. Initially it wasnt easy cos i kept on replaying the past relationship in my head like everything that happened was gonna repeat itself again, but i av 'let go, and let God'.
God has indeed been faithful. He has blessed me with such a wonderful man, he truly is my dream come through.
What av u gone through in your past relationship? How painful was the break up? Do you look back now in regret, wondering how you could have been so naive? I have been there, and i understand how it feels to be really hurt by someone you love. The good news is that its not the end of the world ! Dont give up just yet! There's that wonderful man or woman specially created for you who is waiting for you to look in his or her direction. Rev. Funke Felix-Adejumo once said, 'When one is messing up, another is warming up.' For every guy or lady that came into your life and messed up, another is warming up. That was the word i held on to after my break up and i must confess that am glad i held on to it cos someone else was indeed warming up.
To my Sweetheart,Ade mi( thats what i call him), I hope you get to read this; I appreciate you a lot. I thank God everyday for bringing you into my life. I really hope i will be able to show you how much you mean to me some day soon. I Love you, Ade mi.
Till tomorrow, remember;'its not over until it is over, and it can never be over as long as God is still on the throne'.

WAIT
Here's something i read that ministered a lot to me. I am sure it will bless you too.
Wait
Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried,
Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate,
And the Master so gently said, "Child, you must wait."
"Wait? You say, wait! " my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By Faith, I have asked, and am claiming your Word.
My future and all to which I can relate
Hangs in the balance, and YOU tell me to WAIT?
I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign,
Or even a 'no' to which I can resign.
And Lord, You promised that if we believe
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
And Lord, I've been asking, and this is my cry:
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply!
Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate
As my Master replied once again, "You must wait."
So, I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut
And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting ... for what?"
He seemed, then, to kneel, and His eyes wept with mine,
And he tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens, and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead, and cause mountains to run.
All you seek, I could give, and pleased you would be.
You would have what you want - But, you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of My love for each saint;
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.
You'd not learn to see through the clouds of despair;
You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there;
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me
When darkness and silence were all you could see.
You'd never experience that fullness of love
As the peace of My Spirit descends like a dove;
You'd know that I give and I save... (for a start),
But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.
The glow of My comfort late into the night,
The faith that I give when you walk without sight,
The depth that's beyond getting just what you asked
Of an infinite God, who makes what you have LAST.
You'd never know, should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that "My grace is sufficient for Thee."
Yes, your dreams for your loved one overnight would come true,
But, Oh, the Loss! If I lost what I'm doing in you!
So, be silent, My Child, and in time you will see
That the greatest of gifts is to get to know Me.
And though oft may My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still, "WAIT."

FORGIVENESS
I didnt know what to write about all morning until now. The thought just popped into my head to write about forgiveness.
What is forgiveness?
Forgiveness is the mental and/or spiritual process of ceasing to feel resentment, indignation or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution. Simply put, it is letting go of any hurt you feel against someone who has wronged you. Its easier said than done, dont you think? Oh! yes it is, but in the long run it is the best thing to do.
Is it a friend ,an ex-fiance or fiancee, a brother, sister, father, mother, uncle, aunt, colleague who hurt you? Did it hurt so bad you thought you could never forgive him/her? Uhmmm... i know what it feels like to be hurt, and i mean to be hurt real bad. You feel like your world is falling apart, but the truth is your world will only completely crumble when you choose not to forgive.
Isnt it interesting to know that the person who hurt you goes about his/her life like nothing ever happened, while we go about you move about with so much pain and hatred on the inside? The person who hurt you isnt the one going through the pain, rather it is you who chose to hold a grudge that suffers from so much pain, hurt, ulcers, migraines, sleepless nights ....and the list is endless.
Something happens when you choose to forgive; You move a step higher than the person who chose to condescend to offend you, isnt it amazing ? It sounds too good to be true, but that is exactly what happens when you choose to forgive.
So the next time someone offends you, make a decision to forgive instead of holding it against him or her. Its actually easier to forgive than to bear a grudge.
Shalom !
