Trust your struggle - Zain Asher
For anyone who knows a bit of me, you will know I am sooo attracted to smart and intelligent individuals. I have such a soft spot for smart people. Listening to Zain however kept me glued to my screen, not just because of her wits but the reality of what she said in comparison to the expectations/dictates of society. Lovely! Lovely! Lovely!! Be Inspired guys...

Merry Christmas.....
If God is not at the center of it all,if He does not direct your actions, consume your thoughts and lead your steps.... then Christmas is not worth celebrating. From my beautiful self, I wish you all a fabulous Christmas and a re-awakening of the true meaning of Christmas. xoxo

Why You Can Depend On Gods Word...
‘…Your word is truth.’
When your ‘back is against the wall’, where can you
turn to find strength? Awash in a sea of moral and ethical questions, where can
you go to find a reliable compass? One author says: ‘There can be no more
reliable authority than God’s Word. This timeless, trustworthy source holds the
key that unlocks life’s mysteries. It alone provides us with the shelter we
need in times of storm. Why does [it] qualify as our final authority?
1) God’s Word is Truth. Jesus said as He prayed to the Father, “Your word is truth.” Real truth you can rely on…that’ll never shrivel up…turn sour…backfire or mislead…That’s what the Bible’s about…[it] provides us with the constant and the needed support. 2) God’s Book is God’s voice. Paul writes, “…You received the Word of God…not as the word of men, but as…the Word of God, which…effectively works in you who believe” (1 Thessalonians 2:13 NKJV). Think of it this way…If the Lord were to return to earth and speak…His message would tie in exactly with what you see in Scripture—His opinion, counsel, commands, desires, and warnings. When you rely on God’s voice you have a sure foundation…truth that can be trusted…power that imparts new life and releases grace by which you can grow in faith and commitment. 3) God’s Word endures. There are only two eternal things on earth today …people and God’s Word. Everything else will ultimately be burned up…stuff we place on the shelf, things we put frames around, trophies and whatnots we shine and love to show off…all headed for the final bonfire (2 Peter 3:7, 10-12)…God’s Book “stands forever” (1 Peter 1:25 NIV).’

Current Fiction...
For the past couple weeks, its been non stop for me, I have had to be at different places at different times. Every year however, I make it a determination to read several books and even though its always a struggle with tight schedules and so much competing for my attention, It always takes a degree of discipline though to keep up with this. I have been reading some very interesting motivational books which I will share soon. But two weeks ago as I planned a short trip out of town, I felt really spread so thinly, I was practically exhausted, with long hours spent at work as well as the current research I am working on. Not to mention the charity and yes my passion the blog and a few things I am working on which will be unveiled soon..... Yass! Lol, 2016 is going to be great indeed! Pardon my digression. As I made plans for my trip, I decided to pop into my local library and pick up a novel for the flight.
I refuse to read eBooks, I refuse to read them on a kindle or my iPad as I already spend so much time on computers already. I just love flipping through pages, I love the smell of the papers and love to manually book mark the pages by slightly bending the tip of the page. So after reviewing some of the top reads, I settled for "The Tea Planters Wife" by Dinah Jeffries. I must admit that when I am really tired, few things help me relax. And on most occasions, a cup of warm horlicks and a good book normally do the magic. Today however, is one of those days, I have my onesie on, my pair of socks and a cup of green tea this time. Thanks to a funny stomach.
In one word, this book is so intense, the suspense is so real, it sets your imaginations on a different frequency. Its holds you absolutely spell bound. I know its more than one word there(hahaha), but that's what the book does. I haven't stopped speaking about it and now there's a queue at work to read this most talked about book. Looking for something to read? Try this captivating fiction. Its quite new, published just this September but goes for quite a good price on Amazon or better still pop into your local library if you are in London, just like I did. Enjoy! Going back to complete the last chapter!!
