Home IS the bEsT!!!



Hi people! What's been happening? Well, right now where i'm at, 'freeze'  is the code word. The rains have come with a vengeance i tell you!
Well, our exams will commence in about a week, the semester is winding down to a close and belieeeeeee me, aint nobody as eager as i am to get back home!!! Just the thought of it is given me goosebumps as i speak! Oh...wait, that's just the cold weather. lol You get my excitement either way.
Speaking of home, i read this great devotional today about how we can use even our homes to reach out to folks, meet them at their points of need  and stuff like that. Let me share it with you. :)
Ps: i made no contribution to it whatsoever, i got it in the mail! Just to clear any doubts. Hehe
Enjoy!


Your House is a Lifeboat

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. — Joshua 24:15
For many years, Noah and his wife refused to buckle under the temptations of wickedness all around them. In fact, outside their immediate family, they did not have one friend who believed in God or was living a righteous life. Can you imagine what it must have been like to be so alone?
The town — and the neighborhood — where Noah and his wife lived was soaking in sinfulness. According to the Bible, the world of their day was literally “full” of immorality. So reprehensible was the behavior of these people that God regretted having created them in the first place and decided to wash the slate clean.
But on His way to starting over, God bumped into a faithful man named Noah, his wife, and their three sons and their wives. From the time their sons were small, Noah and his wife surely included them in conversations about God. They must have prayed together and spoken of the majesty of God’s creation.
Deep inside this story is something very special. Noah and his wife opened their home to lost people. We know this because the women their sons married were counted among the righteous who came aboard the ark. This means that even though they came from homes where God was not worshiped, these women’s lives were changed by the influence of a believing family that welcomed them and loved them.
For Noah and his wife, the choice was clear. In spite of temptations to conform to the culture around them, they — and their family — chose to serve the Lord. You and your family can do the same.
It may not look like it, but your house is a lifeboat. Your storm-tossed friends and your children’s confused playmates need shelter. They need safety, instruction, and a display of love from a family that knows and worships the true God. Your family may be their only hope.
A safe little boat the shape of your house is floating in your neighborhood.

Prayer:  Our great and wonderful God, empower us to live lives that please You. Help us to be winsome messengers of Your Word and to show others the love of Jesus. Use us to lead people to Christ. Amen.

Hope it blessed you as it did me.
Stay blessed wonderful people, and keep them smiles out...please.

They come and they go...


Hiiiii people! Wow, it feels like it's been ages...well, i guess it actually has been.

Happy new month to you all, i hope you've been doing very well. There's soooo much to update you on and it's been really tough not being able to put anything on here, for reason of the many activities i've been occupied with of recent, and also the very untrustworthy internet access in my school. #yimu

Anyway, God has been faithful all the same. He's kept me (and all you amazing individuals reading) alive and well till this month and that's more than enough to be thankful for; because we tend to take for granted how often things happen and we could have easily ended up as victim whom that unfortunate thing happened to. For instance, just on Monday i got news of the death of this person i knew and the blow was so very heavy. You know how most times when we lose people, especially those known to some degree, we tend to get this reality flash on just how unpredictable this life could be. I mean, barely two weeks ago i was bugging this guy about my ipod and before that we had this juvenile argument about littering, and the next thing...he's gone.
The customary "I shoulda done", "if only i had", "i wish i knew" thoughts took residence in my head for about two days and it was really depressing, but it has also reminded me of the fact that life is waaaay too short to squander on things of a daft nature or to spend procrastinating. For example, times we argue, or hold grudges, or procrastine doing something nice and thoughtful for that one person, going on that diet, cleaning out your fridge, going to visit the family, proposing to that girl, spending time with your children, reaching out in love to that lost soul, whatever it is! Just do it NOW and do it well cus tomorrow might prove to be a cruel sly and nobody likes to be left with nothing but the question..."Why?" At least I know i don't....

God has been my comfort though and just today, i watched this beautiful video by a P4CM poet, 'Jackie Hill' that helped me put alot of things into perspective. Been trying to upload the video but it's semi-impossible so i'll try to put up the link on my next post or something.
Stay safe people...
