Oddly Enough

Oddly Enough,

Oddly Enough, life has been a switcheroo dance..

Born into a world tinged with betrayer and bitterness.

Scorned for the inability of others, shamed by poverty and bullied by circumstances.

Harassed and buffeted by life's travails, peer pressures and societal expectations.

Defeated by a mindset conditioned by sown twisted speeches inspired by ignorance, envy, jealousy and hate.

 

The future was a vicious circle when imagined...

So I feared.

Then the Truth came in the guise of the Word, inflaming the heart.

Piercing through the debris of shame, scorn, and betrayer.

Igniting the hope incubated in the core hidden under the scars of life.

That core that housed man's ability to hope regardless of how dire the situation faced.

From which a voice whispers, "you are worthy, deserving and of value".

Casting off the doubts, the fear and the shame, I triumphed.

Prevailing in all circumstances by the application of the Word.

Rebuking all thoughts that would try and cast me in the role of the "fearful and defeated".

 

Skillfully navigating life’s path with the floodlights of knowledge...

Oddly enough, I REIGNED!

P.S: Knowing who you are, is the only spring board to greatness! Find yourself in the words of the Creator and oddly enough you will prevail.

Millare…..

That Feeling Of Uselessness.

 

That feeling of uselessness is that which you feel when you see your loved ones hurting and you are powerless to stop, change or take that grief upon yourself.

That feeling of uselessness is what you feel, when you watch with a sense of incredibility the forces of nature overwhelm man’s will, technologies and structures.

That feeling of uselessness is that which you feel when you’ve given your best but find out it isn’t enough.

That feeling of uselessness is what every human feels watching death sting loved ones or innocents.

That feeling of uselessness is what the righteous man feels every time evil triumph over good or the wicked prospers.

That feeling of uselessness is what the romantic feels when his/her rose tinted glasses is wrenched away and shattered by the harsh realities of unrequited, unwanted, underserved or rejected love.

That feeling of uselessness is the bane of man’s abilities and mortality, causing one to question the very essence of life and living.

That feeling of uselessness is the cause of every broken dream, mind or spirit in the world man inhibits.

Isn’t it amazing that from this feeling of uselessness, mental, spiritual, financial and physical giants are born and formed?

Isn’t it funny that from this feeling of uselessness, the seeds of immortality and limitless abilities is gleaned and then realized?

It is a known fact that from that feeling of uselessness, comes the strength to push/pull through the darkest nights of a man’s life to his glorious dawn.

When you’ve hit rock bottom remember that the only way to go is UP!

Failed Promises.

"Promises are only as strong as the person who gives them" Stephen Richards.

How true the above statement is.

A huge chunk of promises made everyday are broken. No wonder many are hurting in the world today. Nothing can prepare you for the pain. Nevertheless you can overcome.

The way we respond to failed promises is more important than the fact that a promise has not been kept.

The right mental attitude.

To have very high expectations for something whether persons,institutions or outcomes, without the thought that something could go 'differently' can be a set up for heartbreak and disappointment.

It's wise to be moderate and realistic about our expectations of people or outcomes.It's also wise to be supportive and responsible to those who have made promises to us.

Jesus Christ is the only one that is incapable of making a failed Promise.

Are you heartbroken as a result of a failed promise? It's time to move on.It's time to heal.Jesus can make you whole again.Through His Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit you can be happy again. Only believe and accept Him today into your heart..ask Him to help you and He will, because He loves you.

Camping At La Casona del Valle.

Camping yay!

Hi guys, have you ever gone camping, maybe as a kid or something?...yes?Well lucky you, I never got that opportunity as a kid even as a teenager, am now well into adulthood and I finally get the chance to go camping deep in the mountains, you can imagine how excited I was.

The experience.

La Casona del Valle is the name of the breathtaking camping resort we stayed in, its situated deep in the mountain town of Garganta de los Montes which sits on the outskirts of Madrid. On the whole it was very enjoyable, camping is mostly outdoor activities,hiking,bicycling,playing games etc. I'm not much of an outdoor person, especially when its cold and rainy...so the whole experience could have been better for me...but I loved the food and all the indoor activities...yeah, sorry to burst your bubble.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Confidence Breakers.

Hi guys,

In the lesson called life, we often encounter situations, systems or even people that seek or threaten to destroy our self confidence. These factors whose ultimate aim is to get us out of sync with our inner energy is what I call confidence breakers.

Some confidence breakers are all out in your face,hostile and fierce e.g Rejection..and even though they can be easily recognized they can still do great damage to your self confidence nonetheless which is why we must be on guard and be ready to protect our self confidence at all times.

Another group of confidence breakers are those that are subtle, elusive, evasive and phantom-like ( but most certainly there ), making them more difficult to detect, meaning they can potentially do more damage. These could be certain belief systems, ideologies, two- faced friends, indecipherable situations, failure, unfaced fears, etc. these factors (whether in part or whole) as long as they remain undetected can suck your self confidence dry.

My point today is that we must watch out for Confidence breakers however and whenever they show up. We cannot be ignorant or worse still, helpless in their wake, seeing that self confidence is a prerequisite for success and succeed we must.
In my next post we shall discuss ways to defy confidence breakers and build our self confidence strong. Share your thoughts with us and inspire someone too.
