~10TH MAY!!!

How could I have forgotten a day as this? 10th of May....a very significant day. The day a husband, a father, a hero, a philanthropist.... a rare gem, was born.

Daddy, I still wish you were here with us....What a memorable day today would have been. All the same, I thank God for helping us get through it....The vacuum your demise created cannot be filled.

Though you've been gone for years now, memories of you are still fresh on my heart! Seems like yesterday I last saw you...I promise to make you proud daddy!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! I'll ALWAYS Love You!!!

~THE BEGINNING OF THE END!

And so, today begins the end of my life as an Undergraduate. Final exams started today. It wasn't that bad, but wasn't as productive as I wanted coz I didn't have enough time to revise since I just handed in my thesis on Friday, plus I was kinda disturbed by flu (I still am though). Well, not to say that I feel disappointed though! God has it all in control....I know I'm STRONG!!!

Been thinking so much about what life would be like for me after now....can't still get a clear picture of it. Still trusting God. I know He has all things planned out! He makes all things beautiful in His time.

Just on the side, there's this interesting quote I got from a friend....I've decided to post it up here to remind all the ladies (and maybe guys) who'll stumble over this post, of what it takes to find the right person for you. It might not be a perfect quote, but it served as a reminder to me...some kinda caution and checks!

So here you go:

"Wait for the guy…
...who pursues you,
...who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person
...who makes you smile like no other and when he smiles, you know he NEEDS you.
...who wants to show you off to the world when you're wearing sweats and no make-up.

Wait for the guy...

...who'll put you at the centre of his universe...

...cos obviously, he's at the centre of yours"

 

Cool one huh? Datz what it takes to find real love people! Have you found yours?

xoxo.

~Partial fulfillment??

Partial Fulfillment huh? Well, it didn't seem like one....
I bless the Lord!

Just a reminder that the other "partial" aspect is yet to be fulfilled.

So help me God.

~SOMETHING ABOUT LOVE

Love is not manipulative...

it does not seek its own.

Where manipulation exists, love should be questioned.

Love is the reason Christ died...

Love is what I am called to show.

“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.” - Ann Landers (American Advice Columnist, 1918-2002).

~DIMINISHING LOVE???

Sometime ago, the sight of you made my heart leap...

the mere thought of you brought a smile to my face...

your every word seemed to linger on my ears...

your face like a picture on the walls of my mind.

But now...I dunno how I feel...

thoughts of you bring this "uneasy" feeling...

hearing your voice makes me want to melt in anguish...

not sure if I can stand looking at your face.

Seems like a case of DIMINISHING LOVE.

~THE READING OF YOUR BIOGRAPHY

How will you feel if your biography is read in your presence?

How will you feel if a book containing all that you've ever done is opened...

and its contents read before you and many others with you?

Pause....think....will your goood deeds outweigh the bad....

and you be proud to hear/know that??

or will you be left with no choice than to bury your head....

and be saddened with regrets about the way you have lived??? 

Hmmmm....still thinking on this....really can't say!!!

~WHY I DO WHAT I DO!!!

I give...
Not because I want to be given back,
but because I see the need to do so.

I lend a helping hand...
Not because I want to be helped in return,
but because someone is in need of it.

I smile...
Not because I am in the mood to smile,
but because that smile might just be a "panacea" to a hurting heart.

I love...
Not because I want to be loved back,
but because it's my FATHER's nature,
The GREATEST GIFT OF ALL.

~MY NAME IS PRIDE!

My name is Pride. I am a Cheater.

I cheat you of your GOD-GIVEN DESTINY...
because you demand your own way.

I cheat you of CONTENTMENT...
because you "deserve better than this".

I cheat you of KNOWLEDGE ...
because you already know it all.

I cheat you of HEALING...
because you are too full of me to forgive.

I cheat you of HOLINESS...
because you refuse to admit when you're wrong.

I cheat you of VISION...
because you'd rather look in the mirror,
than look out a window.

I cheat you of GENUINE FRIENDSHIP...
because nobody's going to know the real you.

I cheat you of LOVE...
because real romance demands sacrifice.

I cheat you of GREATNESS IN HEAVEN...
because you refuse to wash another's feet on earth.

I cheat you of GOD'S GLORY.
because I convince you to seek your own.

My name is PRIDE. I am a CHEATER.

You like me because you think I'm always looking out for you.
Untrue.
I'm looking to make a fool of you.

God has so much for you, I admit, but don't worry.....
If you stick with me...You'll never know.

God's Wisdom transforms us from the inside out, and then through us, transforms the world!!!

~ TOSSED ABOUT BY INDIFFERENCE!!!

Oh yeah, it's been a really long while since I wrote something....I'm sitting right here in my room, trying to study, but it's quite unfortunate that I don't seem to feel the vibes for study right now. I'm reading about Motivation. It's one wonderful topic in a module I took up from The University of Nottingham School of Management....a year 1 module though! :-) Funny, I'm studying about motivation, yet I don't feel motivated to study....lol...Well, that's about my present mood!!!

So what about Indifference? What's this thing about Indifference I want to talk about? I was talking to a friend last time, who told me that I seem to act indifferent to certain things even when it's obvious that they bother me so much....Well, I really don't know how the chap came about such opinion about me, but one thing I know is that most times, when I try to make certain things work, and they seem not to be turning in the right direction, I tend to start ignoring them, acting like they never existed.

Call that escapism? Well, not exactly.....It's just like having a bump on your head, and trying to pretend that it isn't there....ignoring the pains when it comes up....like telling yourself "yes, I feel the pains, but I aint gonna respond"...lol....:P

Well, I know that by now, someone might be thinking "Okay, what on earth is she talking about?". What has all this talk got to do with the title of this post? Now, what I've been wondering is this: Does trying to ignore certain problems mean that you should see something wrong in yourself and refuse to change it? I get so pissed whenever I hear people say "That's me, I aint gonna change...there aint no changing me!!!".

For those reading, this might not make any sense to you but if there's anything you should keep in mind, it is this - Don't act indifferent about certain things about you that you obviously need to work on. It may be attitude, habits etc. Indifference works sometimes, but please...please, don't be tossed about by Indifference....Be sure of what you want to change, what you have to change, and maybe how you want to go about changing it. I'm sure the world would become a better place if every one of us tries to apply this to our lives....I'm doing the same on my end!!!

HAPPY LABOUR DAY!!!
