Trust Issues

By
I work with children every Sunday, lemme rephrase and say toddlers; these range from some at 11 months to 3 years. They are a handful. Believe me. I don't know how people who run a daycare cope. I'm just opportuned to stay with them for max 3 hours and I'm usually worn out.
The koko of my matter is when their parents drop them off, siggghhhhhh! Some parents over do to be honest!  na only you get pikin?!!! Please let your child grow up.
I'm not a children hater oh biko before you think I'm some psycho who hates children, its the opposite sef, I love them, (my uncle thinks I work with them as an escape from reality because children are simple, they aren't as complicated as grown ups) I'm just of the school of thought that there are certain phases that children have to go through. One is separation from your parents.
Some would say I don't want my child to cry, really?!! Even the Bible says there's a time for everything; A time to cry and a time to laugh.
Some would just quickly leave the class and be like I don't want my child to know I have left. Some of them say to the child 'don't worry I'm just going to get your biscuit'
I saw a picture which explained: 'my trust issues began at 2 when my parent said go put on your slippers so you'll follow me out and when I hurriedly went and came back my parent had gone'
Many young people can relate with this; my parents did it for me too, I guess their end game is to make the child independent. So you know sometimes mommy or daddy has to leave and you have to be on your own (well you aren't really on your own; you have God). Which is actually an important lesson in life. Independence! Not just for toddlers but for everyone.
Sometimes we think God is not there; because you can't see Him (like when your child can't see you and begins to cry) but He said I'll never leave you. He has given you all the resources to go forth and conquer.
I'm not saying be independent with God, I'm saying be dependent on God.
Parents teach us independence but God teaches dependency ON HIM.
Have an amazing Monday.
P.S: be grateful you can 'hate' Monday. 
With love, theInspiredCutiee 

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

Your Isaac

By
I always marvel at Abraham's faith. That man went through a lot. I ask myself if I'm capable of enduring one tenth of what he went through.. (Genesis 12 and 22) After waiting for years for a child, God eventually gave him one, and then God said he should sacrifice him.. Every time I read this passage (Genesis 22:2) I take a pause, I'm like 'hollup hollup, whatasay??'. I'm always like God please don't give me such a test oh; because I'll legit fail. 😖 Notice in Gensis 22:1; says 'After all this, God tested Abraham' (The Message). Its clearly says after all what Abraham went through God tested him, test is in past tense; meaning when Abraham was encountering such it wasn't a test for him. We read it now as a test; but for him it was life, real life! Not African Magic or Telemundo.. Lol. What's your Isaac I ask? It doesn't have to be your child.. Lol. It can be your time, your communion with God, or time with other belie...

Society and one of its ills

By
This post started off as a rant, but then I decided why just rant? Critic the ill, but also share lessons you’ve amassed overtime. Remember, this month is the month of purpose, why rant and not have a purpose? I usually say, ‘everyone has an opinion, all it takes to be swayed to the other side – is good argument. Daz all! I can start a movement on ‘School should be optional, because these days an individual can ‘’blow’’ without the four walls of a classroom’, yes I’ll have followers, but then TeamEducationForAll would rise and protest with their POV, and then the debate would begin. *yawn* it is an endless vicious cycle. Today’s rant is all about Single. Singleness. Single persons. Single not in a relationship. Who dictates social media? People! Societies are made of people. It is funny that social media has a way of dragging one down ehn, but then again, its social media, we still need her (yes, social media is female), ironically I read three different articles...
