So today i have come across this post that i never got to publish but then i thought why not, I must have written it to remind myself that i need to stop worrying and to let tomorrow take care of its self..so here goes. I hope it helps someone out there.
Money can buy a house...yep it can!!!!
it can also buy a nice haute car...ummmm
Money can buy some pretty fancy designer bags, clothes and shoes.
Money will buy food or ok classy expensive food.
Money can buy a way of life....
emmmmm help me out what else am i missing!!!!!!
Money can also create some vast envious atmosphere even though some people would envy you even when you dont have.
Money would give some great education and a chance of a brighter future on earth.
but then again i cant help but think
Money cannot buy love
It can't buy some pretty special people in your life even though you could buy some fake friends.
Money cant buy Health
Money cant buy the quality of Life
Money can not create the fruit of the womb...even though it can be instigated but only at God's time could it be well worth it..
Money cannot buy Peace.
Money cant buy Happiness.
Money cannot buy Salvation nor faith
Money cannot buy Life.
Overrall money cannot save your soul or provide the core essentials that matters to our life on earth.

LADY GA What?
ok i have been relenting from this topic for a very long time, because i really did not want to get this wrong..so my hubby gets home and tells me have i heard Lady Gaga's new song called "Judas" not that i am a Fan, anyway i raise my eyebrow and am like whats the song about, so he says the title is called Judas, and i am sorry if i offend anyone but please understand this is my own thought and interpretation..Hubby says he couldnt help but say Ha!!! at the Gym when he heard the song..
so as they say curiousity kills the CAT...but in my case curiousity gives me wisdom and knowledge on guiding my soul from the so called songs of our generation which is slowly killing the minds of our youths..
So i am forced to go on my Fav Website Vigilantcitizen.com and behold what do i see on the first page of the website is Lady Gaga's Judas Music, from my reading on the website it explains a number of radio stations had asked her the meaning of the song and for some she said she was talking about the future and to others she was talking about an old boyfriend who keeps betraying her..but ohhh wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll to me i think its all rubbish..
what amazes me so much is that there are two types of hiphop arrtists, the ones who do tremendous amount of charity work and talk about growing up int he church, yet in the video there are totally almost Naked or sexually motivated dance moves that totally makes any abled man commit adultery almost instanteneously and the other ones who are atheist and have no belief of God existing yet in their videos their is every connotation to insult the faith as a christian by showing signs and video's that insult stories in the bible..
ok so back to lady Gaga...in the video she shows the disciples of Jesus in a leather jacket with their names on the jacket and a skeleton drawn to it such as Matthew and so on bikes, with the man Lady Gaga is riding with had thorns on his head like that which was worn on the head of Jesus before he was crucified, which from my interpretation is Jesus... however while she was on the Bic she seems to be constantly stirring at Judas, like she was in love with him but really i wont go into all the details but the bit that annoys me is the singing in the lyrics of a King with no throne just like th eroman soldiers mocked Jesus before putting the thorns on his head, and showing the disciples of God in clubs partying and drinking and the healing of Jesus's miracles as a scenario in a club, also showing Judas kissing and commiting adultery with two women, we know judas betrayed Jesus but no where were we told he was an adulterer.( I dont care about the all 21st century crap about making the video interesting it is pure rubbish) and another way of selling to our youths its ok to be drunk and club and still hang on to Jesus...No it is not okkkkkkkk!!!!! a practically naked Lady Gaga then dresses herself has the woman who was almost stoned to dead, which Jesus did not condemn but saved, but rather in the video Lady Gaga was stoned to death like Jesus was not there to save her, therefore leaving her to die..which again is false..
I meant have the producers, the writers and whole of crew of this video lost the plot, do they not understand the price which was paid for our life, that it has become a dance video..i mean this is so sad, it is a norm in the entertainment industry..
We really need to stop tolerating this abuse to our faith, we need to make sure our youths know the truth and the ways of Jesus and it is not the so called halfly naked clothing or the kick of binge drinking but the true values of Jesus...Lets not get our selves confused.....for Rev 3:15“(I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth)..
Therefore people there is no lukewarm in christ.. we are either for it or against it..however it is important to remember to condemn the sin and not the sinner as the word says him without sin cast the first stone..
We really need to open our eyes to what is on our TV, our magazines and the so called norm of this century and radically break away from it...and not just ignore it..but live our life based on the truth of the Lord Jesus. and more importantly teach it to our kids, our nieces, our nephews, our little ones.. its too important to ignore............

What happens after tomorrow
Hello..........as my post is going to be a bit all over the place today as my mind keeps jumping from one thing to another and i almost cant help it...so dont mind me if i keep moving from one topic to the other would just let my thoughts write what it needs to get out...
Have you ever really pondered on our life after tomorrow, so ok i am not talking about the food we will eat tomorrow, or the car we are saving up to buy next month...or next year...but really what happens to us after the end of life..Do you actually think of this or dont you..cos i really need to know if i am just weird to think about this things...loll...as am sure we think about the next wedding we are going / aso ebi /or concert, or you know general things which is definately normal....but the last couple of months no matter how much i pushed it aside i keep thinking about what really happens when we die....a horde topic dont you think?...or say a horde thought. But not to focus on that point for long as really only God knows what happens after death.. I mean i have watched enough after life experience of people and their experience of hell and things..but really you cant help but think in your mind what if its just fiction and its not true. but more importantly for me is to serve Jesus in truth by Gods Grace..If we cover that part fiction or no Fiction we have nothing to loose..
However this very thought have made me more in touch with the things i do on a daily basis, whether it is as little as a white liar, or a little envy, or a tiny bit of jealousy or be it Gossip but in real terms to think about my actions every God given day about what wrong i had done during the day and to make it right before i go to bed cos you never know there never may be another time to reflect on this things...for me this is a new reflection for my being as to the word says we should be at alert as no one knows when the father is coming, as he comes as a thief in the night and we have to be always ready....so how do you prepare for his coming if not to make our ways right before him and then to the people around us.
I mean are you ready for christ today?.. if he came today would we be ready to go with him?. i have learnt that salvation is a gift given to us by God and it is not by the works we do on earth but by pure mercy, grace and love from the heavenly father but even with that i do think we need to strife to make our conscience and the holy spirit within us to bear witness to the things we do in our daily life, to be good and love others.
The word love rings to my thought...if only we could love everyone around us,( so dont mis interprete me i didnt mean for everyone to love us) but if we as christians, as children of the most high God showed pure love to another without thinking of the benefits of this and especially when no one was watching?
As we live in a world totally based on individual selfish traits,(my this,my that,my, my, my) the ability to live our lives and totally exclude everything else inside it, We live in a world where we show love to only our families and friends and never really to strangers.. we have a religion that is self centered on judgementalism and been hypocritical if their is such a word..and some of us try so hard to help others in our mind but physically we are handicapped by carrying out the tasks, also our so called system works us like machines where the only things we are programmed to think about is work, money, sleep and a new luxury to reward ourselves for the hardwork. The system almost makes it impossible to fit in other people in our lives. After a tired day at work, i really dont know how one can fit in any charity help we could render.
However for me the holyspirit started to make me realise i didnt have to do charity work on a daily basis but still i could try to show love on the train, like always surveying my surroundings and looking for one who needs help, ( I know you re almost late for work and if you dont catch that train you would be late, so what time do u have to look around) but we have to, if you dont look you cannot see..( you cannot see that single mother struggling to push her buggy by herself up the stairs, or the weaker / older persons standing opposite you on the train and really needs that chair you re sitting in.) even though yes u are tired!!!!!....its Hard but God sees our heart, our intention and he helps us through. so i think it all adds up as to what we get to on our daily basis. Our life here is not just about us but about everything and everyone else...
I really hope with all my jumping around thoughts you can get an idea of what i mean...mainly as tomorrow is unknown let us love and be diligent in christ today, so when tomorrow comes we have no regret of today and even if we did, we had made amends at the end of today, to make tomorrow a new beginning and a new start..

I am happy for you
I love my friends but i love u.,yes u my God given, chosen friend in crisis.You are such a blessing to my soul, a blessing to my world. You have brought so much joy my way. You have given me wisdom and You have made me understand that the God we serve never sleeps nor slumber,You have woken me up when i was asleep in my faith.
You have held my hand when i couldnt see the light.You have been such a diligent friend, a sister, a brother, my helper.The truth as always set us free, and our love of God continuously binds us together. Today i am happy for you like because you persevered and you overcame..
In your pain, in your grief you waited on the lord and the word says (Isaiah 40:31)"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
For your today, tomorow and forever, you re an eagle that has flown over the impossibilities that mans mind project.. As we re more than flesh to our creator. May the love of God that binds us together never depart from us. As Jesus loved his beloved to the end, May we love ourselves till the end. May we continue to be better children to the most high God, better wives to our soul mate and better mothers to the children God has set in our parts to nurture.. Amen.

I am not Perfect? Are you!!!!!!
So really my food for thought since my last post really as been to take life at a more easier pace..and to give myself ease of life..Be happy, make Peace, hold no Grudge, serve God with all i have and continuously be a good person to the people around me, regardless of if they deserve it or not.....(Gulp!!!!!) I know it will be hard but emmmmmmmm by Gods Grace...i will get there..
so i think i have been relatively hard on myself for a couple of years back, taking it gravely to heart everytime someone said i did something to them, i just always thought it was there fault and they misread me and kind of i was always right.. But i thank God for this new found me, of not perfect and it is ok for you to do a thing or two wrong, just think about it looking at both sides and apologise if you need to...and then life continues....
Life is too short, and i want to spend the rest of my time on this earth happy as much as i can be, be a good inflence to other people, help others, Bring people to Christ, Make heaven by his grace, be a Virtuous woman to my tiksy...and a mother of great wisdom and knowledge to my children..
so my logo this month...is to remind myself that I am not perfect!!!!!!!

How do you love your enemies?
ok, so the last couple of weeks i have been ovelwhelmed with thoughts and my state of mind has been kind of funny, to be sincere not that i particurlarly know why. I know i have had continuous re-occuring arguments but i think the worst for me was dealing with people that you didnt even know disliked you in the first place...so when they creep on you...i thought no way!!!!!! and the verdict was stuff that i apparently did about 3- 4 years back, which from my own books i didnt even know existed..so i was angryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
I mean this people made me wonder to God if i was such a horrible person and i had to think to myself would i really have done this, and the more i thought about it the more i could justify to myself that this where just haters...and they just wanted to hate and the more i thought more of it, the more my anger built up...and the more bitterness grew within me..and then i took time out to reflect after some quiet prayer cos i was going to Burst otherwise!!! Thank God for the Holy spirit..
So during my reflection i thought of the following:
If i am to live my life for God fully not halfly i have to emulate the characters he left behind, and we all know no one can walk in the footstep of Jesus unless it was given to you through the grace and Mercy of the father. I thought how could Jesus have died for people who despised him, people who spat on him, slapped him across the face, called him a liar, made a mockery of him and then crucified him on the cross to die Naked and still he thought we were worthy. I mean i have watched so many films of Jesus dying on the cross but i dont think it really hits you personally, and physically of what he did, unless you were in a position to wipe out your enemy especially when you have the power to do it but still you didnt because you loved...wowwwwww...(Man definately cannot comprehend the vastness of Gods Love)
Then i thought the lord thought i was worthy to be died for, he thought you were worthy even though we werent worth it...not worth a dime so then i realised i need to love my enemies, i mean you have to love your enemies.. I mean for me it dosent mean that i have to eat with them or go visiting. But i need to be anger free, i need to be bitterness free, i need to absolutely just think they got me wrong and somewhere in their hatred, there is a likeness of Gods Breath in their soul somewhere..
Cos boy!!!!! i cant let an enemy make me miss heaven...the ultimate price..when i could have loved, liked or at least be conscience free of Hatred "Then on that day one is told...your father Jesus loved, why didnt you love...and you are like but i loved my friends, my husband, my Kids, My family, the Orphans Blah Blah....and then he asks what about that one friend that hurt you, did you love or you did pay back)...God forbid!! not my Portion In Jesus Name and not your portion in Jesus name as well ohhh...Amen..(Loll)...But Jokes aside as hard as it seems please let us love those who hate us and despise us, if God who was perfect in Human form as Jesus Christ, though Perfect was still condemned, how much more us.
So for me another big Lesson Learnt glory to God..I hope it strikes a nerve with someone out there and hopefully you are able to let go...and rid yourself of the bitterness of A Betrayed friend, A betrayed Husband / Wife, A betrayed sibling of any sort even though they deserve every bit of it..you let go, because Christ let go for us so we could be saved..
