Joke of the day!- An Economical Christmas

When you are a child, you spend Christmas with family by default in the ideal world. However as everyone grows and launches out to pursue dreams, career or even marriage, it becomes luxury to bring the entire family together at Christmas. This year, I am enjoying having the entire family together at this time of the year. My siblings and I have mapped out things to do with the parents over the period. However Sky news/TBN tends to be the 2 channels tuned when my dad is in the living room and of course with the repeat news, you can't miss any information especially the incidence in Berlin. Now the following conversation ensued..






Me: Dad/Mum, we are all going to(spells out the plans)

Parents: Elly we are going nowhere until we understand what these terrorists are on about. We should avoid every public gathering with high numbers as it is not safe(Now dad starts giving me this long chronology of all the misfortunes that has happened at this time of the year since 1900s)

Brother: Okay guys, lets stay positive, lets do this(spells out plans). There is no crowd this time its just a serene place, good ambiance and personalized service.

Parents: We are going nowhere, what ever you guys need to do, plan it in this house. You guys can do your thing or rather you guys please be careful and avoid crowded environments.

So now all plans are on hold and at least, the bank accounts should be happy with us all hahahaha.

Now I flip to Netflix, its 10pm and I am the only one in the living room and I decide to watch Focus because I have been meaning to see it but I have not had the time.  Few minutes into the movie, my mum joins me on the couch and we are both watching the movie. Now some hot steamy scene comes up and we are both watching. I do not fast forward and I do not leave the room, we both watch it in silence hahahahaha. How old am I again??? Please she can say nothing. However I am praying there are not many more scenes like these I have to endure.

Todays Thoughts...

I said my prayers, studied God's word, meditated on the word I read, prophesied into my future, thought about my goals and finally I went on my twitter account because I follow some sensible people and then of everything I saw, this stayed with me "The basis of transformation has always been self -awareness"- Frank Powell . God speaks in a variety of ways, Be still & listen...

It's a known fact but sometimes, we just need that reminder. You want to follow me on twitter? Its ellyeleanor1 and on Instagram, its ellyeleanor_foundation we are changing the world, "one life at a time" have a peek into what we do...

"Stop Hiding, Start Living"

I intentionally do not listen to a lot of preachers for obvious reasons. I am content with daily study and meditation of God's word and the more I study, the more the Holy Spirit inspires me and gives me rhema. However with this man here Jentezen Franklin, I just love and respect him and its always uplifting listening to him rightly dividing the word of truth. I have been a christian for quite some time and had no issues fasting for any length of time. But in 2009, I read his book on fasting and it changed my whole understanding till date. I recommend it for anyone especially if you are planning on starting 2017 with a spiritual exercise. I am presently listening to this and its such a blessing. Hope it blesses someone out there!

The Act Of Learning!

Its was quite a rainy Saturday yesterday and as I got ready to go do groceries I noticed the bananas were quite overripe. Scratch that, I noticed it a couple days earlier actually. I don't really like bananas but every now and again I end up buying them because I choose to have them in my porridge rather than having to add processed sugar. I will rather having naturally occurring sugars. I also use them to sweeten my smoothies in the summer but I am not doing any cold drinks in this cold and flu season hahaha.

 I follow this healthy food/snack blog and I coincidentally saw how overripe bananas were used to make banana chocolate muffin and the recipe seemed quite easy so I decided to try my hands  on it and this is what I ended up with. It was not bad at all you know hahaha

This year, I had a target of making a new dish every month, I think I only achieved 45% of that target. Anyways I am having the entire family over so I might just bump that up to 60% before the clocks tick midnight on the 31st of December hahaha.

The summary of all of this is, challenge yourself to learn. Learn something new everyday if you can, no knowledge is insignificant and don't just learn via 'hear say', learn through research, experiment, questioning, comparing and contrasting and by listening to the right people...

This week make sure you learn at least "ONE" thing!

Todays Reminder....

It might be Friday, but don't forget to give the same level if not double dose of your efficiency, dedication, hard work, effort and just be absolutely awesome and be the light that sparks the hope across as many people as you come across. Let today be a fantastic Friday for not just you, but for everyone around you...

I was done with my prayers this morning and couldn't get this song out of my head. I have been having a conversation with a friend and most of the time its been centered on working in Gods will, fulfilling purpose and living a fully blessed life where I am not just blessed but everyone around me benefits from being blessed. I was recalling how for every job I have been in, I have referred a minimum of one person who got taken on due to my referral. I have been in a new role/career for barely ten weeks, and I have also referred someone on who got taken on two weeks ago and it came with a package that no other recruiter has been able to do for her since she's been job hunting for the past one year. I don't have mansions and a jaw dropping bank account or investments in every continent in the world, but I can refer to many lives and say I have been responsible for their spiritual, physical, emotional, financial and even career development and for me, that is more than enough. I have been able to do this, because I submitted to God's will and leading. How are you "LIVING" today? Don't forget to be a blessing....
