TBD: To Be Determined.

 


In the past year, I have listened to a lot of youth talk and rant as the economy is and was. In the past two days, many truths were known and many realizations acknowledged. I remember that moment when I got to admit point-and-click that this place we live in is not a home. Shrugs, we just need to deal with some hard truth that All is Vanity.

They say home is where the heart is yet the heart itself is not at peace. Yet, I say again we call that home. Okay, even if God said occupy till I come, really that brought tears to my eyes. Occupy? Really? With what precisely? With the way, times are that to make ends meet is like finding a pin in a stream. Look, I'm just a person saying what I feel, the way I know-how. I'm stressed out with the generalized advice people give but in our down moments and weaknesses, we tend to have the courage to encourage ourselves even when those close to us see differently. So, What do I do to occupy? What does the air do occupying? It's business. What do sands do occupying? It's business. I do realize that I used non-living objects to exemplify- the conclusion is this, they occupy doing their business, so we too need to occupy doing our business. What business you'll ask? well, that's for you to find out yourself. Just ao you know that you are not alone I'm finding out mine though.


I sought of distressed a bit, but now I'm back. Why am I writing this?


I'm writing this because I'm tired and because it's been so long.


So long, if you do follow this blog. I pray I have faith that's more than a mustard seed. Sometimes I feel nothing was worth it, but deep down at the back of this mind that thought so, I knew that every little thing is worth it. It just depends on what I believe. 


Just so you know, I believe I have grown in knowledge and have believed in things as though they were

I believe that anything bad is bad and has its consequences.

I believe in the power of prayer even though I can only physically see how that's going. I believe in God no matter what the situation of this country is. 


One thing I do pray for is that I never lose my wonder.


When I wake up each day, let me be able to appreciate the sun you created and the air you freely give.

When I walk around in the day, let me be able to see the good in people and show godliness to others as I ought to.

And when the night comes, let me not be too weak or broken-hearted to listen to you or talk to you.

I'm convinced that there isn't just me but you make me, Me.


I want to be determined.

Preparing for the Second Coming: Living with Eternity in Mind as a Christian

  Photo by Sebastian Knoll on Unsplash  There lived a man named Samuel. Samuel was a kind-hearted and humble individual. He spent his days volunteering at the local shelter, assisting those in need, and spreading love and compassion wherever he went. One day, as Samuel was going about his usual routine, helping his neighbors and tending to his business when he noticed an unusual commotion in the town square. People were gathered, whispering amongst themselves with grave expressions on their faces. Curiosity piqued, Samuel made his way towards the crowd, eager to understand what was happening. As he approached, he overheard snippets of conversation mentioning the "rapture." Intrigued, Samuel inquired further, only to discover that according to the beliefs of some, the rapture was an event where the righteous would be taken up to heaven, leaving the rest of humanity behind to face a time of great tribulation. As the discussion unfolded, Samuel realized that some people were act...

Finding Solace In The Waters

  Jared Erondu In a bustling city, there lived a man named Thomas who was burdened with worries and anxieties. One day, a friend suggested that he take a break from the chaos of city life and visit a nearby waterfall known for its tranquil beauty. Reluctantly, Thomas embarked on the journey, unsure of what to expect. As he approached the waterfall, he was mesmerized by the sight of the water cascading down the rocks, creating a symphony of sound. The mist from the waterfall gently kissed his face, and a sense of calm enveloped his troubled heart. Thomas found a quiet spot by the waterfall and sat in silence, allowing the soothing sound of rushing water to wash away his worries. In that moment, he felt a profound connection with God. The sight and sound of the waterfall became a metaphor for God's grace and healing power, washing away the burdens of his soul. From that day forward, Thomas made it a habit to visit the waterfall regularly. Each time, he would pray, meditate, and find ...

  In the busy and often overwhelming pace of modern life, it can be easy to overlook the countless blessings that God bestows upon us each and every day. From the air we breathe to when we overcome bad situations to the loved ones who fill our lives. Yet the gifts of our Heavenly Father are abundant, and often underappreciated.  However, cultivating a spirit of gratitude is not only pleasing to God, but it also has the power to transform our perspective and enrich our lives in profound ways.
