Do it like Jabez

-
Sometimes I love spending a lot of time in the comfort room...because theres a lot of time to reflect..  True or true!!?? Kidding aside, I came across a thought about a personality in the Bible who was called a certain name which gave the person his identity, at least in the world.

The Bible personality "Jabez" is and will still be my inspiration for the rest of this work-while week.

To simply put,  in the book of 1 Chronicles 4:9, Judah's son,  Jabez, was named "Jabez" because while his mother bore him, she was in pain.  So,  Jabez prayed and asked for God's blessing for him not to give pain to others, and God granted unto him.

You know how Jabez did it? Let's do a follow through to the next verse, 1 Chronicles 4:10 when Jabez called out to God and in a form of a song he held his head up and sang his hear out to God with the words:

"10And Jabez called out to the God of Israel, “If only You would bless me and enlarge my territory! May Your hand be with me and keep me from harm, so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted the request of Jabez."
Wow! That quick? Alright!?

In life,  people will call us names,  names that were borne out of the impression people have of us,  or through other people's experience with us which we do not intend to do. These names will always impact us in a way but like Jabez,  we could ALWAYS ask for God's blessings to make us the likely person the we can be, one that we are destined to be.  

God has the capacity to turn things 360 degrees around.

All you gotta do is to Believe and Be Blessed.

Love and God's blessings be upon you!

WIRED TO BE BEAUTIFULLY LOVED

Imahe
My dad had been a lot different lately. I guess this pandemic's lockdown has its way of squeezing out creative juices and hidden abilities in people. I have been with my dad for 26 years but it took us that long to know him a little bit more. He loves planting and finds joy in taking care of them. This week, he showed me a little Bonsai plant he was taking care of; I never knew he would take his planting hobby to that level! I observed tie wires entangled with the plant's stems. I asked him why he had to wire them up. He said, the wires were meant to form the plants according to his design, eventually they will be removed once the green stem turns brown and hardens up. In that moment,  I saw God in my dad. Many years ago, God made a covenant to David saying " I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And My loving devotion will never depart from him as I removed it from your predecessor." (1 Chronicles 17:13) God is no different than our earthly

Lives are Numbered, Seasons have Days

I've been meaning to do this write-up for quite some time already but it just came to sink-in, now.  I started drafting this post about 2 months ago with 2 paragraphs and 4 lines on it. Until today. I decided I had to finally put things into words, this time. This deserves a publish.  I'm breaking the news. I'm finally in a relationship.  "ENOUGH," I said midway through the year of 2019. I grew tired of dating gazillion times, sipping up coffee while mustering a conversation which was a struggle to maintain. My life seemed to be stage play in barren field with all the entertainment I've been through that bore no fruit at all. I think, for most of my age, people have at least planned to find partners and settle. On the other hand,  I had my own directions , even considering ending up alone to the point of buying myself a small house where I will live by myself til I grow old. Life always has ways of making us tread into crossroads that le

5 Signs you need to de-stress

-
This is a busy world! Remember the last time when you didn’t need to set your alarm before going to bed? Or having to check your wrist watch while having coffee in daylight with friend? Most of us probably lost the time to sit back and for a second forget about the time, forget about other things and RELAX. And because industry is demanding so much work from us these days, we often put more than two of our feet in a certain situation, forgetting that there’s only two of them! We’re demanded more of what we only have! What’s the point? We exhaust ourselves too much on things that would lose us, which is probably why we get a lot of boiling tempers,  excruciating body pains, migraines, insomnia, and unusual mood swings. So here are 5 signs that you need to pack your bags, take a break, and enjoy the road and the freedom in the outdoors. 11)     THE BLURR- “It’s just my memory against me!” “I’m aging really fast.”  When things go wrong because you lose focus, we often say it’s
