The SS 3

If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t – you can read Kick off and Part 1 and Part 2.

Here are some few key words, to jog up the memory: 


Yes, the single phase is #cool, but, today, we’ll look at two myths. (the third myth would be discussed later).

I begin by debunking the first myth:

·         I don’t need anybody

Au contraire my dear, God wants a relationship with me, God wants me to be in relationships with others, He created me to a be a relational being, and He doesn’t make mistakes, even if I am introverted, I need people. In fact, isolation is where the devil thrives and feeds me lies. God says in the Bible:

‘it is not good for man to be alone’
-       Genesis 2: 18

He knew since the beginning; as clichéd as it may sound, two are always better than one:

‘two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour’
-       Ecclesiastes 4:9
 
So, if God created me to be a relational being, then…

·         Just anyone would do.

This is the second myth.

Which is why it’s important to ask; why am I getting into this relationship? Is it helpful? What direction is this heading towards – this is literally the meaning of relationship goals. You can’t have ‘goals’ without an ‘aim’. Tell yourself until you believe it; ‘I should not tolerate relationships that are not helping me because, what God wants, are relationships that would help me’.

This brings about a critical look at those things (processes) which God has determined before that person; before that relationship can genuinely be helpful, before that relationship can be right, before that relationship can bud.


So, I expect to see you… watch this space! *wink*


With love,

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...

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...
