I belive Christmas is a time to reflect, celebrate and plan for the new year.

One very important variable in our lives (well apart from God and family) are FRIENDS. Everyone has them, either good or bad.
For the next couple of days (there might be slight changes though because no one knows tomorrow *smiles sheepishly* ) I would be writing on friends.

But today's post would feature Kolade's Special on Friends.
Enjoy!

To A FRIEND
In this short space of time I have met more than a handful
Some of which have left me half full
Some empty, searching, desperate
I have had them exciting, annoying
They have lied to me, wronged me
A lot of them are far away from me
Taken away by life's various ships
For work, school or just to a new home
Some of them are around for what they can get
Some of them leave you with a feeling  regret
Truth is, there are some that you can't forget
They have left a mark In you that nothing or no one can take away
They have done more than scratch the surface
They have buried trust, peace, smiles, affection In me
I cherish the memories, the fights, arguing on what  to eat
Done some nasty things sometimes with some of you
We have prayed together a couple of times
A few times we just sit and sing old songs Talk about how the old days used to be so exciting and wish we could bring back some of the things we used to cherish,
Some have gone to a place far far away
The uncertainty of what to expect when I meet you is what makes it all so special
Various  Drama kings and queens have been crowned
I remember all the things we have done together and those that still lie ahead of us
I'm excited writing this because part of who I am today is because I met you
Through the good and bad times
When there is plenty to eat and when its just a few groundnuts we have to chew on pure water
Through times we used to wait for the TV to search for the station
To now where we practically watch the programmes  from our phones
It doesn't matter how long we have known each other, It doesn't matter how far from me you have gone
I'm taking this time out to let you know that you mean a lot to me and most importantly 
You are my FRIEND!

With love, Kolade and theInspiredCutiee 😘

Short story type of day

By
I wrote this while I was in church (please don't judge me , it just popped in my mind and I began to write) She felt something slowly tickle her face, she ignored it the first and second time, then it began to move more rapidly than before. She woke up in a startle, disoriented and wondered what could have been causing this, it felt like it was on her face, she touched her face and it was wet, 'what's this?' she asked herself because it was dark. She quickly jumped up and flicked the switch on.. She screamed when she saw it was blood! The small dark spot on her pillow and on her nightie (when she sat up) were both evidence that she was bleeding from her nose. 'No, no not again' she cried. 'This can't be happening again' she said! Then she quickly remembered she was to tilt her head up whenever her nose began to bleed, she tilted her head and waited a couple of minutes but it didn't stop. She began to panic because she was loosin...

Lauren Daigle

By
Lauren Daigle is a contemporary christian music singer. I absolutely love her voice. She speaks to your soul and situation.  Her music is exceptional; but my favorite two are: How Can It Be and Trust In You. The first time I heard 'How Can It Be' I was in tears.. Sigh.. Like I said she speaks to your situation. That moment of my life I felt inadequate of God's love and then I heard this song.  Just take a moment to look at the lyrics:  http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/laurendaigle/howcanitbe.html 'Trust in you' is nothing short of her amazing voice, again the lyrics blow me away. The chorus is always a reminder: When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You! I always ask myself; can I still trust God when He doesn't give me the answers I want? Can I still be genuinely gra...

The Halo Effect

By
Are you exhibiting the halo effect? Do you buy products because of the celebrity representing it? Or stay in a relationship that is wrong because of one good quality? We are all attracted to people all the time. What attracts us to others? And what attracts you? When you meet someone for the first time you draw a conclusion about them, subconsciously you decide whether you like them or not. BUT is it possible that one trait or aspect of one's character can influence your perception about them? Honestly, I judge a person's character based on their physical appearance, its a quick judgment that is very likely inaccurate. The good thing is that once I begin to have a conversation, I realize there's more to the person than just physical looks. (Well that's for those that are actually more than their looks). The halo effect can cloud our judgment even when we know about it. When one good quality spills its appeal unto other elements of a per...
