SHARING LIFE

So, I am in this hot vehicular traffic jam on the Ayeduase road and I chanced upon this Scripture which was shared by Veronica Campbell-Brown, who happens to be one of the best female athletes in the world and one of my favourites too… “ Seek the Lord and His strength; yearn for and seek His face and to be in His presence continually !” 1Chron. 16:11 I was wowed. Upon reaching my home, I decided to read further…I quickly went to my Bible to read again. “ Earnestly remember the marvelous deed which He has done, His miracles, and the judgements He uttered as in Egypt, O you offspring of Abraham and of Israel His servants, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones !” 1 Chronicles 16:12-13, Amplified Topical Reference Bible I was struck by the 12 th verse that says, “Earnestly remember the marvelous deeds which He has done, His miracles, and the judgements He uttered [as in Egypt]”.

Dear Sister, LETTER OF CONCERN I have been thinking of how best to put this piece across to you in a way that does not tear you down, but instead, edifies you, in love. Darling, I believe that one of the reasons Papa allowed me to go through the many relationship issues was because He trusted that as a Torchbearer, He could trust me to shine His light in order for you to avoid certain pitfalls in life, especially in the issue of love.

Please, stop giving pieces of yourself to the man who is dating you…or even courting you. There was a ti...

Here I am, alone in my classroom, thinking about what to say on this day as we commemorate International women’s day. Women’s day… When I think about womanhood, I think of no other person than my mother. What a woman! I am reminded of my childhood and my actions towards her then. I am reminded of the strength of this one woman, to raise a child like myself, right to this very moment. I remember how I could write her notes, very early in my childhood, about how I felt she didn’t love me and how better I was, not to have a mother, than to have one who loved me not. I remember the hurt in her eyes whenever she looked at me because of a hurtful word I had uttered. I remember the many times I hit her out of anger, in my childhood. I am just wondering how she felt hearing everything I said to her. I can’t even imagine how I could have been so evil in my dealings with her. I remember how problematic my birth was for her, so much so, that even the ...
