True Love is Worth the Wait

If you are like me, then you probably believe in true love stories and the idea that there is someone who was created specifically for you. I love everything that has to do with rose petals and bright smiles and colours and happy endings! In this world we live in, however, people don’t believe that love exists. The sad truth though is that people are getting into relationships, not because of love, but because of lust. Also, I feel that sometimes they don’t open their hearts because everybody is afraid of being hurt. With all these reasons, no one is then willing to wait on true love.  We have become so impatient to wait for our God ordained partners. “Waiting is such a drag!” or “YOLO”, they say. While it is true that you only have this one chance on earth, I feel that this phrase is used recklessly. You need to be careful about what you do today because today’s choices affects tomorrow’s outcome, just so you know.
Teach yourself not to settle for less than what you deserve. Ladies, you were not created to be somebody’s ‘side chick’ or even ‘main chick’ (I feel that this perception of main chick makes it acceptable for him to have other people for as long as you know and accept that you are the MAIN one). None of that is okay. You were created to be the ONLY one. Also, understand this; if you are being abused, know that you are not the problem. Don’t subject yourself to such cruelty. It is time to stop compromising your purity for someone who does not even intend to stay or worse, someone who is unsure of themselves and giving parts of yourself to people who don’t even deserve you which causes you to lose yourself in the process. Who you give your heart to is at your discretion, remember that. You are a dime, fellow lady and gentleman. Don’t you think that it is about time that you see yourself as exactly that?
Don’t be in a rush to get him or her tonight. It all takes time and good things surely do come to those who wait. What I learned from waiting is that it makes you appreciate what you have been waiting for even more when it does come. Think of it this way, when you go out shopping on somebody else’s account, for example, you sort of just take things from the shelves without really caring about the price because you are not paying but had it been your money (that you probably worked really hard to get) then you might just be extra careful on how you spend it and what you spend it on. In contrast to waiting, the effort that you put into waiting is what will cause you to place value on whom or what you wait for. Would you really just surrender yourself to someone who does not care about you after years of waiting for someone who will love and care for you for real? I don’t think so. Make your wait worth the while.


Just a reminder, there is no shame in being single. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with it! Learn to be comfortable with being alone instead of getting into or being in toxic relationships only because you feel like you won’t be able to manage on your own. I think it’s actually a blessing to be single because you get the opportunity to work on yourself. You need to understand that relationships are about give and take and you are ONE (yourself) before you are anybody else’s or with somebody. That’s why it’s important for you to be filled before getting into a relationship. You are like a cup. You need to fill yourself up with all sorts of goodness that you can pour into your significant other. But if you do not take the time to fill yourself up then you won’t have anything to offer. So fill yourself up with all things constructive, beautiful and long lasting. Take time to get to know yourself, take up new hobbies, read books and empower yourself but most importantly, LOCK UP YOUR HEART AND GIVE IT TO GOD; HE WILL GIVE IT TO THE RIGHT PERSON.

I have experienced love in ways I thought I never could and because of this, I believe that if you simply wait, it shall come to you too.

HOPE

‘I am leaving’, he said. Her body immediately began to tremble, and trying not to drown in a pool of tears, she manages to utter the words, ‘What do you mean?’. She’s afraid of what he might say and honestly, she knows exactly what he means. Without hesitation and much care, he responds in a harsh tone, ‘What do you mean what do I mean? I am leaving YOU! Geez. You don’t understand English now?” She began to cry and immediately goes down on her knees. ‘William please’, she begged, ‘we can make it work. I will try harder, I promise. Please don’t leave me, please.’ He pushed her out of the way and heads to the bedroom. She runs after him, still begging. To be healed To be loved To be appreciated This is all she wants, it’s all she’s ever wanted. Many came, promised her the world. More left. It was always one thing or the other. It’s either ‘She was too good’ or that ‘She wasn’t enough’ And now she’s with a man, who beats her but she tolerates it because well, at least...

Walking with God daily

I woke one morning and was dismayed by what greeted me; ungratefulness. Shoot! I am late for my class, AGAIN! I set the alarm though, what happened? If I shower for 2 minutes then I just might make it, I thought. Then I remembered we do not have hot water and its winter. It is not exactly the season to shower with cold water this early in the morning. Okay now I was frustrated. I was frustrated at how late I was and even the mere thought of knowing I might not get a good seat in a class that does not have enough room to swing a cat. Man was I frustrated. And if that wasn’t enough, there was a possibility of a surprise quiz so there was no way I could miss class. All this time, I did not say one word to God. I didn’t thank Him for this day He has blessed me with or better yet, ask for His peace. Why haven’t I? At that moment, I am of the mindset that I have the right to this day and that it is not a gift. In fact, I felt like I was the victim. I felt like nothing was going my way a...

Let Your Light Shine Bright

So I was looking at my past pictures and I have to say, I cannot believe how much I have grown. By that, I don’t simply mean physically but spiritually as well. It is funny but I see the growth in my pictures. I am not the same girl anymore. I am not the same person I was 10 or even 5 years ago. Heck, I am not even the same person I was last year! I am no longer the girl who was barely surviving, hanging on simply because I have to. No! Now I hang on knowing exactly WHY. I have a purpose. I have a reason for living. If I was not needed, God would not have created me. But HE DID. Oh, yes He did. He did it all, INTENTIONALLY, on purpose-fully aware. That is why I hang on-because I am not done yet and the good Lord is not done with me either. God is intentional, and there’s never a time where He’s unsure of the ones who He’s called. NEVER. As I look at my old pictures, I see a lost, confused soul led by her carnal desires (which are so deadly), prowling and yearning for approval. ...
