Tenacity

Now, imagine your girlfriend telling you that" babe, aki niko na ball" and you had not been intimate at all. Had not kissed or even made out, the furthest you had gone was hugging and holding hands but with Covid, you hadn't done even shaken hands from March. I can only imagine the look of surprise, hurt, and disappointment on your face. You feel your hear tbreak into tiny pieces 💔💔💔as you are ushered into the Premium Tears Club. Then, she tells you that it does not belong to any man..Naah.. but the Holy Spirit.  As the Christian you are, this angers you extremely. While she has no shame in spreading her legs, she has the audacity to blaspheme God while at it. Oh, the steam from your ears, nostrils, mouth, and where the sun does not shine😡😡! Who does she take you to be! Kumbe, it's true of what is said of Eve's gender! Ha! and you believed she was a virgin.

A story is told of three trees in the forest who had different dreams of what they would make when they were cut down. The first tree thought that it would be curved to make a beautiful chest that would hold very expensive and beautiful jewelry.

This sounds like a depressing story following the crash and landing of the trees' dreams. However, here is the catch. Many years later when Joseph and Mary could not find an inn to rest i...

 There is no mountain without valleys, and neither is life. The mountains of life are all about glory, celebrations, winnings, and glamour. The valleys, however, are full of pains, sweat, tears, gory details, and losses. Valleys of life are unique to each person. some are deeper than others and the only person who can truly understand your pain is you. So, you are at the lowest point of your life, what next?  It is so easy to get stuck at pity parties😧 and the sadness makes me merry😔 but here is one word that changed my world. Tenacity . Holding on, no matter what. Oh, I know a few will think of those instances where holding on does more harm than good🙆,  but that is a story for another day.
