LIFE IN DEATH
She woke up one morning and her life was diminishing... Some how it was coming to an end, she knew why that was happening but she had decided not to let any one know what was taking place and why. She cried no more because it was as good as useless; she thought to herself, " why cry when am carrying a life in me?" And that brought her so much joy, joy that no one but her could understand, it was coming from within and her face lit up with a smile, a smile so warm and breath taking that her husband could not help but notice, it filled the room with some air of happiness as if supernatural, true something supernatural had happened, yes it had.
She was pregnant and the doctor's report was not good, not at all, she could not give birth and stay alive, she knew it, she had believed it but was not afraid of it, at least not now. And she wasn't afraid to do it; to give up her life for her only child, Bertha had not become pregnant in 20 years of their marriage and here comes the baby only to be informed of how she is unable to have her only child and still have a life of her own.
This only reminds me of such a beautiful love, one I can not fathom, one I cherish every time am given opportunity to be alive...when am troubled, when am sad, when the problems of this world overwhelm me. This only love I turn to, the love of my saviour; the love of my life, the way, the truth and the life; the love I never imagined and oh how sweet this love is! John 3:16 a scripture I have known from childhood, one I chose to embrace, how could one have such love? A love that scares me to think of, how I love to hold on to it. "... God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son..." The love that brought me life in death; death on the cross...it is so sweet...a love not afraid to bring life even in death. When he said " ...'it is finished.' With that he bowed his head and GAVE UP his spirit." All this for me...this love " breaks" my heart, my whole being...what a love, Life in death, yes it is and I have life because he died, died to make me whole.
THANK YOU JESUS!

CRYING ( The Healing Power)
Now you may be wondering why I surely have to write about crying of all things but this is an interesting thing and has been and will still remain a big part of my life...grown or not.
Crying is the shedding of tears in response to an emotional state( diction) and the act of crying has scientifically been defined as a complex secretomotor phenomenon characterized by the shedding of tears from lacrimal apparatus without any irritation of the ocular structure.
Its alright to cry, even my dad does sometimes, its healthy. Tears are your body's release valve for stress, sadness, grief, anxiety, and frustration; protectively they lubricate your eyes, remove irritants, reduce stress hormones and they contain antibodies that fight pathogenic microbes.
In addition to the physical detoxification, emotional tears heal the heart. Crying makes us feel better, even when a problem persists, you don't want to hold tears back; please don't be afraid to cry to cry even if its in public... It's vulnerability yes but its no problem, cry baby, cry because nothing hurts more than holding the tears back , crying is the healing power.
Try to let go of the outmoded, untrue conceptions about crying. I love to cry, yes I do and I cry whenever I can and thank God our bodies have been embodied with this amazing capacity.
Oh how I love to CRY; CRY BABY CRY!

Just Do It
JUST DO IT
Looking for where to start from , wondering whether it's worth it and probably if you are able to do, making all sorts of images in your mind and things do not seem to add up, asking the what, where, when, why, how and who questions. Well, yes it's overwhelming, tiring and sometimes you may lose hope.
Let's think of it this way,when you think of something you want to do...a business, investment , name it, Do It, when it fails, try again and again and again as its the only way you can know if you can or cannot do it.
Doing is sometimes stressful especially at the beginning when there are no immediate results but either way, do it
Doing is an auxiliary verb...a verb is a doing word (action/ performance) in other words, DOING simply means doing and nothing else.
Doing doesn't require you to be in the best or have a large sum of money or be in the best conditions ever, if you wait for the storm to calm, you may never ever do what you desire to do...start where you are , life is not Utopian even Roses have thorns.
Just so you know, follow your heart not people's hearts or their dreams, theirs may seem big but to encourage us, all dreams are big even when they are different...the biggest difference though is how we perceive, how we go about them and how much effort and time we are willing to invest in them.
You Have a Dream, Just do that Damn thing and now is the time!
