 A WOMAN ( The  fuel that runs the world)

A woman is by far the most beautiful  creature  on earth...fascinating and unique her purpose  is.
A woman is high  esteemed despite  the trials, negativity energy and discrimination that surrounds  her;  a woman has been labeled  the weakest  vessel,  and this may appear  to be true but her strength  lies on the inside... A woman's  strength  is within not without.
A woman is a pillar,  she is the ultimate  strength  for  anything  if it has to succeed and even when there is so much  injustices and inequalites as the world  suggests,  she has stood her ground and maintained her position  which  enables her to always  succeed.
A woman is the Magnet that pulls all the good  things together which is why  it's often  said that behind  every successful man is a woman and I would  love to add, who has not listened  to the negativity of any sorts...sacrificing  herself for  the cause and this has been so even in successful  organizations and countries.
A woman is magical,  her heart  is warm,  she cares and shares... she is not self centered; her children,  her husband,  her parents,  the church, the community are catered for  as she offers herself. She stretches  her hand to the poor.

A woman is self made just like the proverbs 31 woman that wakes up before  daylight, she eats not the bread of idleness,  her price  is far above  rubies and yes,  a virtuous woman  is like the merchant ships.
 A woman has these three important  things that are absent in men;  menstruation, the ability  to become  pregnant and lactation  but she is not limited  to that... There is so much  more to a woman  than bearing  children and nursing  them...a woman is a leader in all aspects, at the front  and better  still at the back,  she is an encourager, a teacher,  a home  maker (proverbs 31:11 " the heart of her husband  doth safely trust in her,  so that he will have no need of spoil ")
A woman  is a coach,  a mentor, a motivator, a warrior is a woman, a hustler is a woman, an inspiration  and yes,  a woman  is a QUEEN (slay if you  like!) when she smiles, the world  lights up...her smile  is like the rays of the sun in the morning,  she is beautiful,  she is colorful like the rainbow... Soft and silky... Her skin is velvet,  her hair is as a flock of goats that appear from  Mount Gilead,  her teeth  like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which  came up from  washing.  So poetic Solomon  was, just borrowing  his words;  her neck  like a tower of David  built for an armoury, the very reason  why men leave their parents  and ask her hand in marriage.

Woman you are great,  arise and shine like the star that  you are,  take on the world!
Be intentional about  yourself... Everything  and all that I mentioned  above begins with you. Be deliberate about  growth;  you have  to decide  that you  want  to grow and grow  in all aspects say spiritual,  intellectual,  relational,  physical and financial aspects. And say yes to opportunities that come your way,  this unlocks your potential  and please  do away  with emotions, this can be a hindrance  to growth,  despite  how much  pain you have or how you  feel, step up and show up...... Shine,  you're  a star.
Discover  your purpose  in life and nurture  it;  this is normally  something  you do with ease and are passionate  about. Don't  , again I say don't  compare  yourself  to anyone ,you're unique, embrace  it. How will you  achieve  your purpose?, be strategic and see how to get it done and have values that people will experience from you and this helps people  to get into the culture  that you  are trying  to create and lastly though not least,  build relationships and don't  take people  for granted,  be kind and gracious to them, get a coach and a mentor,  someone  you will be accountable to( I have Charity Kwatampora my humble  butt kicker)
Again woman arise and shine!

The fuel that runs the world, doesn't  matter  how you  call her,  mother,  sister,  daughter,  grandmother, mother -in-law,  daughter -in-law...well as long as its a woman.

BEING  LOVED

Loving  someone is Very  simple and doable  because  it springs from  the heart and spreads onto the other person.  You understand  how well and important  the person  you love is and why you love  them  the much that you  do.  All the questions  in your  heart are answered...actually  maybe  u may even  never wonder why you love them. It might be because  they're  your  spouse,  your child,  your best friend, your neighbor, a class mate  or  even  someone I haven't  mentioned.  Whoever  that person is!
Loving  someone makes  you happy,  joyous, Complete, excited, and all the other positive  emotions  but also sometimes  mad,  and honestly  I have  never  understood  why I can love someone  and be mad at them at the same  but it has happened  to me million plus times;  this comes as a result  of the desire  for  one's love to be reciprocated, understood and not be taken  for  granted.
a question to all of us is... why love with the hope that you  will be loved?  I can't  answer  that right  now because  it's a desire I have  always  had and I still  do!
It's easy to love someone  that  loves you back.

On the other  hand, being  loved  is receiving and this comes differently and it's perceived  differently as well and I guess  it's because  of different  personalities.
Today  I perceived being  loved  at a completely different  angle;
On 1sept 2017, I gave birth  to a very  handsome  baby boy.  I love him with  everything  that  I am,  firstly  because  I bore him... I carried  him in my womb and he has  some attributes which  stem from  me.  I do everything  to see that he is well,  I wash for  him,  iron  his clothes( I don't  think  he even notices let alone caring  whether  they are ironed or not)  but I do it anyway,  I feed him,  spend long hours  awake,  change his diaper...he even often  pees on me,  destroys the towel with weapons  of mass destruction (poop) just when  I have finished giving  him a bath and I actually  laugh about  it,  everything he does  is amazing  to me and I really  really love him.
" Our  heavenly Father loves you the same way baby," I thought  to myself  today and it made so much  sense and I felt  loved and so happy  and joy sprang from  my inner being. I felt complete and somehow all the answers  I have never  gotten  fell in place and I felt  renewed.  I thought  to myself, "the same feelings  I have  towards  Alpha Myles is the same way God feels about  each one of us . We have his attributes  according  to Genesis 1:27, in his image we were created.... This made my face radiant and I wanted to jump up high and spread my legs... Too much joy it was that I felt and then this reminded  me of a scripture  that says that a mother  can leave a child  they are nursing  but God can never forsake  us... ( paraphrased) . Now that am a mother  I can understand  this perfectly well because  I can not leave  my boy but  also this showed  me how being  loved must make people  feel.
I can not wonder why God has loved  us so much; we are his image,  his own...and like I,  he doesnot mind cleaning our mess and that's why while  we were still sinners,  Christ died  for  us.

I can tell you  exactly  how  it feels  to love and better  still am in position  to tell you how being  loved  feels because  I perceive it and I know it's amazing...a feeling  I can't fathom because  when  God loves, he does and he is never mad.  Paul in his letter  to the Roman's said that  when sin increases, Grace overflows,  I may liken it to changing  my boy's diapers. When his diaper is wet and dirty... I change  him to a dry and  clean  diaper....Grace  makes us clean...and it's our father's love.
