Who cares..

Do you ever get the feel that people are looking at you,
analysing your situation and in their minds are saying to themselves eyah...poor girl.
Do you sometimes catch that look in the eyes of people, I mean that look of pity and sympathy
Like your case is so bad and their lives were perfect without any challenges?
Of recent I have had people come around me with the mind of starting a "PITY PARTY"
they start off with words like, "It must be really hard for you", "how are you coping"..."this is really tough"...

No time to spend moaning and complaining and asking questions like God why me,...why is my life like this, why did this happen and why didn't that happen..
No time to sit down and entertain such people and such thoughts..
who cares if when they look at me they can't see past the trials and see the testimony
who cares if all they see is the test instead of the treasure,
who cares if what they see is bleakness and hopelessness. I see the glory ahead
who cares if every time they look at me, they can't see past my today...I know the one who has seen it all,
My past, present and future and he says It's all good..
I think we care too much about what people think and say...I stopped caring a long time ago
I only care about what God has said concerning me and my situation. PERIOD.

See beloved Joseph..one would ask is it only you that can suffer. From being hated, to being plotted against, to being sold, to Potiphar's house, to being tempted and accused, to being jailed, to being forgotten.. what a life he must have had...I never saw him hosting pity parties so why should I...I love that scripture in 2 cor:4:7-10
 in the amplified it is so beautiful....vs 8 n 9 says it all..
We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair;
We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;
 
Who cares what anyone thinks...God has assured me of victory, my future is bright, this too shall pass. I shall be celebrated, I shall be decorated ,They that mock or laugh at me would laugh with me. I would not see shame, God would be glorified.
Your God is big and able, He would see you through...Stop caring dear Child...Your latter would definitely be greater....AMEN

Stopped caring about what people think or say too . It's so not worth it because all that matters is what God thinks and says. God bless you x

Sometimes its hard to ignore especially when its said in front of you but God's grace is sufficient enough for us to push behind all that does not fall inline with HIS word concerning our lifes. Amen! Thanks Stells.

My Case Is Different...

Shutting my eyes I can vividly remember every time someone has tried to discourage me from launching out or dreaming big based on someone else's experience or failure... sometimes it has been said unconsciously,without even thinking... The moment you mention your intention and desires,there is always someone who is ready with an example of someone else's story... Who says I have to apply 10 times before I get a visa to a foreign country Who says I have to have a god-father before I get that dream job Who says I have to attend 5 interviews and receive 5 rejections before I get the job Who says I have to wait and wait,fall into wrong hands and then learn from my mistakes before I eventually  find my prince charming.. Who says I have to have connections to get ahead in life... My case is different... I am not a statistic...my case is different The fact that it happened to 4 or 6 people you know doesn't mean it would happen to me my case is

I AM NOT DEAD YET

I am not much of the gardening type as much as I love flowers and pot plants, It takes quite a bit of an effort for me to give the flowers and pot plants in my front yard the attention they deserve... but I must admit they add such beauty and charm to my front yard. lately I have just been too pre-occupied with all that has been happening in my life and around me to even notice that I have plants to feed and nurture.. 2 weeks ago I noticed that they had all withered and the leaves were dry,brittle and falling,especially with the summer.. I sighed in regret..if only I wasn't too consumed with myself maybe my lovely front yard would have been preserved. I gave up,maybe it was too late to salvage the situation. I might just try I said to myself and see what difference it makes.. I set out a couple of days ago to water the plants...I had just a small bowl of water.. and as I went back inside to get more water..I got distracted and never got round to fully watering the

THANKSGIVING..

I have never had to struggle for want of what to write but I have literally spent the past minutes just staring at my screen.... where do I start from is the issue at hand How do I compress the faithfulness of GOD to me in just a post...hmmmm.. I turn 28 today..yet it seems I have been here longer.. I marvel at the quality and the richness of my life.. The wealth of experience and all that God has invested in me... For all his many blessings,For his favour and his Presence  Lord for all these and more..I say thank you I woke up today with gratitude,with a heart full of praise...God has been Good to me.. I take a walk down memory lane and I go back 15 years  to a time when I first accepted Jesus. What I am most grateful for is this decision I made to follow hard after JESUS A lot of times I failed Him,strayed away,messed up,blew my chances But His mercy never ceased and  I kept seeking and running after him.. I have come a long way 15 years later,I still love the lord r
