Wow! I'm excited like for real. Right before my eyes, one year has passed.

Well, I couldn't really have done it without you all so I want to appreciate everyone of you. Thank you for reading my posts. Thank you all for your support, comments, feedback.

Hi Everyone!!! It's the weekend and ummm, I don't know about you but I cherish my weekends because I get to spend some more time writing! And hanging with one of my good buddies, Helen.
Life is beautiful and people add colour to life; bright, dark, shady, popping. The diversity of people is what makes life interesting.

I'm pretty sure that more than once we have heard the quote or should I call it an advice,

"Choose your friends, don't just allow them choose you."

The issue of who you relate with is so important that the Bible says, .... , yeah, I know you know the scripture.

"...evil communication corrupts good manners"

It took a while for me to consciously learn that friendship goes beyond the matching clothes, bags, shoes, hats and really, matching outfits in general. It's beyond just calling someone your 'bff', 'bmf' (nah, that doesn't exist) or 'real g'.
It's having someone who's going to be there.

Backstabbing is heartbreaking but having 'friends' who will only sing your praise is almost as bad. Your friends should be able to stop you in your tracks when you're going off. They should be able to tell you that music isn't for you when it isn't, you know, stuff like that.

It's a lot more easy ride, just hanging with your 'praise singers' than hanging with those who'll tell you the truth but it's also a dangerous ride.
Truth is we don't know everything, we don't see all the colours in the picture that's why it's important that the people around are willing to share with you, what exactly they see.

On the other side of the coin, if the people around you never like anything you do, hmmm! Maybe you should check both yourself and them.

Friendships are amazing but to get the whole package, they have to be REAL!!
Enjoy your weekend. xoxo

“You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that.

Life is beautiful. Life is well, incomplete without people. If you're like me, you ENJOY your company. You would rather live in a world of your own and have minimal connections with other people. But life isn't that way, everyone needs people and even when you don't really need them, there are always people around you.
A nice person is a good-natured person. Being nice doesn't have to be complicated. Be nice for real, not just because you want to put up a show.
Stay within your boundaries but honestly care. Work on your attitude and check your relationships with people especially if you don't know them personally.

Matthew 6:10
"..thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven"

 If you've been in a church for a while, you should be at least familiar with 'The Lord's Prayer'. Sometimes, I think that we've said these words so often that we've lot sight of what exactly they mean and the heart behind them.


One line that always gets my attention in the Lord's prayer is "thy will be done". When we say "God, let your will be done", do we really mean it or are we telling God to do what we want. The truth is that we have our own thoughts towards the things that concern us, we have our own desires and there's that picture we have in our head of how we expect everything to turn out. The heartbreaking part is that for everything that we think we know, we only know in part, we only see in part. That means that our mental pictures are created from partial details.

There is somebody however that knows it all, He knows the end from the beginning and He is God. It only makes sense to allow Him lead and direct the course.


When we pray, '..thy will be done', it's a prayer of surrender; total surrender. We tell God, You have your way. We tell God that we trust Him enough to direct the course of our lives.
Until we get to the place of total surrender where we stop struggling with God and just allow Him direct the course of events, we will always run into danger.

Genesis13:7-117 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

Lot chose the plain of Jordan because it looked nice, it seemed to him like the best decision at that time. How many times have we often acted like Lot, making decisions on just the face value of things. Just because they look nice, feel, smell, sound or taste nice doesn't mean in general that they are nice.
Our thoughts can get clouded by things that are not substantial and we can make wrong decisions but when we get to the place where we don't just make decisions by what we see but by the leading of God, we would see that our lives will turn out for the best.

We think that we love ourselves but the love that God has for us is much more than what we have for ourselves. It's only wise to allow Him take the lead, make the decisions and channel the course for our lives.
Let's get to the place of surrender where we actually mean Lord "...THY WILL BE  DONE"

Usually, everyone prefers to live in their comfort zone. Come to think of it, no one really wants to live an uncomfortable life. This is not just because of the uncertainty that clouds the outside and the fear that grips you just thinking about it. It is partly because we have learnt to live life by set rules and defined boundaries have held us in. The truth is that boundaries are undeniably important in our lives and we cannot turn out very good without them but the bad thing is that we were only taught to stick to the rules, our teachers just didn't specify when, where or for how long. Maybe because they had no idea themselves or because they were scared of the unknown.


Every person who has done exceptional things has had to step out of the norm. New things are not and cannot be created by doing the same things over and again with the same methods. In fact a famous quote says,

 "Its insanity to keep doing things the same way and expect different results". 

Judging by this quote really, a lot of us have lived as insane although the capacity for us to be sane has been provided. We have chosen the lesser way of life just because it is more comfortable.
We have become mediocre in too many fields of our endeavours because we have become too afraid to do new things and take risks.

Life often presents us with choices and it may not always be seemingly easy but if we must remain relevant and remain on top of our game, we must be ready to make the choice to be better.
The truth is that, unlike we have chosen to believe, the comfort zone is not always safer. It may seem like it but the truth is that it presents itself as a real danger wrapped up in attractiveness.

In this world where everyone is zoned, from friend zone, to side-chick zone to every other kind of zone, I think the most common kind of zoning is the comfort zone.
Don't get too comfortable that you are not willing to try anything new.
Step out of the comfort zone.

Happy new month everyone!!!
Wow! It's September already. Like for real this year is almost over. I wish you all a blessed and exciting month.
Well, my holiday is over so classes begin.
Hmmmmm! 'happy', 'sad', 'excited', 'nervous'. I am just a bunch of mixed feelings. I still kinda wish for one extra month break but that month isn't coming.
First year wasn't so hard but like they say, 'the higher you go, the tougher it becomes' but I'm ready to face this year head on.


To all of my readers who are students, I wish you all success in this academic year. Stick  to your schedules and learn as much as possible.
Enjoy your year!!!
