You smile too much.

You smile too much..😆😆




When I was in secondary school I used to get punished by Seniors because I smiled alot..
I was described as the smiley girl.
I had to come up with an explanation every time someone asked me "why are you smiling"?
I would say no I am not smiling I just have a smiley face.
As soon as I saw a senior I would attempt to frown..I wasn't always successful..
I still couldn't hide my smiley face😊
I made lots of Friends and received favours as a result.😆

Life has always had a way of trying to stop me from smiling...
I lost my mother at age 14.
I battled depression at age 17 till I was 19
I failed and had to repeat 2 years at University
I lost a Child at Age 27
I had a miscarriage at age 32..
and inbetween there have been challenges that are common to all of us.

But still I smile..
It is a conscious choice I make daily
to smile through it all.
Some one asked me why I am always so happy and fun to be around.
I smiled..It is a choice.. I choose to be a beacon of joy instead of gloom.
Because I know in whom I have believed in.

Every day there are situations asking me why I am still smiling..I smile because God has got me and He ain't through with me yet.
It would always end in praise.

Instead of allowing what you have or are going through make you bitter,Change your perspective and see God in your circumstance.
Instead of wearing a frown and carrying your issues on your face,Put a smile on.
God is not about to abandon you.Smile.
Smile because you Know your Heavenly father is good and has marvellous plans for you.
Smile,It cost nothing.

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
John 16:33 Amp

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

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

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
