Verse Of The Day!

Most times in life, we have big plans, and big dreams or sometimes its just that thin line between the known or the unknown, the uncertainty of tomorrow and fear of our decisions. And for me, most times just when I think, I am ready to take that leap, I hear that voice "Elly there is a thin line between courage and stupidity" and then the usual happens...... I take a halt and the bad thing about taking a halt is that you subtly retrogress. Its not obvious, but its constant....

As I prayed and studied the scriptures few hours ago, I dwelt on this scripture for quite some time and the holy spirit gave me inspiration as I went through it. I also reflected on Joshua 1: 9.Now most times when I am about to take decisions, I observe other individuals who have gone that path ahead of me and I learn from them. And sometimes, there is just no one who has gone the path I hope to take! Unfortunately sometimes, I voice out my plans, and the danger is that people around me, out of so much love for me mingled with fear, or even just naturally negative people or natural 'worriers', try to quench my zeal to launch out.

I have learnt from experience that most times don't share your dreams, until you have come to terms with the entire consequence and you are still ready to launch, because then you become unstoppable. Be careful who you listen to equally. Wisdom should be applied too because sometimes, its better to avert danger than walk in head on.

I have played with the thought of resigning from my 9-5 job next year and starting my own business. Well...... there has been so much indication that I need to start this sooner than later, but also the fear that I feel is greater than my zeal to launch. Its funny though, because I know what I want, I have already drawn up my strategy, I know finance might be an issue but I also have plans of what I might do.... So why don't I just decide and start working towards it???? 

As I read this scripture, however my prayer was God lead me and cause me to follow in faith. I bind every spirit of fear, I declare that the lines are falling in pleasant places. I have a delightful inheritance. The right people are locating me, my helpers of destiny are available. And again what dropped in my spirit is, Remember Abraham?? He went from the known to the unknown and I never disappointed him. I will GUIDE you!

Are you in any struggle today, or battling any form of uncertainty whatsoever? I pray this verse and others speak to you equally.

Bless

Joke Of The Day.... Describing A Short Man!

 I was having a very interesting phone conversation with one of my really dear friends. At this point I was trying my utmost to give her a description of some guy. And because I couldn't bring my brain to choose the right words, before I knew it, I just blurted out "He's just as short as your hubby but your hubby is however a bit bigger than him, this guy has quite a small stature" Ouchhhhh before I could take it back, it was out there! Oh My! Ellyyyyyy!!

And then she screams over the phone " Elly will you shut up! My hubby is not short!! And we both responded, He's average height!!! And we laughed so hard. I also had 2 friends have this same argument, in this case, it was another short guy, describing my friends hubby as short! can you imagine?? How can a short man, describe someone else as short??? Hahahaha. And this other friend of mine responded, "My hubby is average height, but you are a short man" You don't want to know how heated that argument became hahahaha, unfortunately for them, they had a terrible person in their midst which was me, and all I did was laugh sooooo hard, I actually fell on the bare floor as I laughed hahahahaha.

Shout out to all the FRIENDS who don't take life too seriously and manage a laugh rather than being petty at any given opportunity.

Shout out to all the "SHORT" individuals, because you are actually average height even though people find it difficult to understand. Remember you were quite quick to reach your potential and didn't require so much time like the tall individuals.

Finally shout out to all the "TALL" individuals as you will never be described by any other words other than Tall because that is what you are TALL hahahahahaha.

Enjoy the rest of the week guys.

Essentials!!! Fort McMurray

For the past couple days, we have seen the devastation in Fort McMurray, And I cant help but put myself in their shoes and imagine the pain, anguish, confusion and fear these individuals must be going through. I pray God helps them all through this difficult time.


Is it not mind-boggling that we work so hard to have a good life, we build comfortable houses, acquire the best gadgets, get ourselves choice cars and at the end, 2 things happen. We either die and leave all of these behind or they are destroyed/damaged and just like in the case of Fort McMurray, they are consumed in flames in a matter of minutes. Before our very eyes, all the hard-work, the overtime accrued, the missed vacations, the missed family times just dwindles??

I listened to one of the top government officials yesterday, and he says "I was born in this neighbourhood, grew up in this neighbourhood but I have watched my house get consumed in flames, years of hard-work, sacrifices, memories all lost. But in the end, they are all things and we will work hard and have it replaced. Last year I lost a child and it cant be compared with this case, its just possessions which we lost and  will be replaced by hard-work. And really the memories live in our heart and cannot be forgotten". In all though, God be praised that with a fire of this magnitude, no life has been lost.

Which brings me to the question, When faced with a life and death situation, what will really matter?? Get your priorities right! make the right choices! Nothing is forever! ETERNITY however is forever!!! Are you ready?
