So is life....

I know someone, he is a good person in every sense of the word but he has all the wrong things happening to him. It breaks my heart and am helpless. I don't know what to do to console him, ABSOLUTELY nothing. Which leads me to the question, why do bad things happen to good people?

I had a debate with my father dearest the other day, and I like my ol'man because he has a wealth of knowledge on almost all subjects. When this debate came up and I was waiting to challenge him (be assured I can argue*chuckle*) here is what he had to say:
"God works in mysterious ways. When we have it all, he wants to be sure we keep the faith no matter what. So he allows the devil to play with our faith. Just like he did Job, and the devil will keep throwing things at us, LEFT,RIGHT and  CENTER. We might handle the first few things,even ignore them but we have to reach our threshold. Even the finest piece of diamond was curved from extreme pressure. And just like Job, when we overcome and keep the faith, the blessings stream in in ways we never imagined!"
I wish my friend would read  this. I might not be Bible smart but I hold true to the statements I just put down. I have seen it happen so many times. People go through extreme tests in life, how these test are handled,matters into developing the character of the individual. Then came another question from me, why is it then that bad people get away with so much S*@&? and this is what I was told:
"God is a God of chances. He gives us so many chances even when we least expect them. We screw up so many times and lead our lives with so much arrogance devoid of his existence in our lives. We denounce him so many times, that if He was human, he would have been disgusted by our behavior. But in His infinite mercy, He lets us make the mistakes with the hope that we will find Him someday. Those who do, find inner peace and repent in a major way, those who don't well just don't. Where they go we will never know BUT they cease to be human. They no longer carry the default compassion God Himself instilled within us."
I wish life would not be this complicated. I go back to my childhood days and hold in awe how life was simple back then. I guess that's the journey called life. I am writing from a defeated place in the hope that I am making a difference.Today I smile, tomorrow am sad...but when my time comes, I hope I will be counted among the human. #SADPOST. Tomorrow will be a better day :)


Till later muchachos :*

For old times sake :)

Juices flowing, fave playlist, Thursday that feels like a Friday and all awesome thoughts. I am making mighty milestones and I thank one God Almighty bana warrr I have come far :) Ok now back to the usual sarcastic me...A friend gave me a brilliant idea and I think I just know how to execute it ( Jose I wish you were here, one serious bitching session needed- like real soon, since you went to the UK you have become ooooo so very boring!!!! KIDDING) So I have had the privilege to have been in a girls' school for four long but very interesting years and truth be told I had some of my most incredible memories there. It was a roller coaster of hysteria mixed with just the right dose of  hormonal rages and plenty of Cabin fever scenarios :) :) As am writing the memories all come to light and  cheka like a stupid mama wondering why we ever made such a big deal of some things! (Jana we was just telling pops all the crazy "don't tell this shit" things we used to as kids and...

MOTHERHOOD 101- I am no expert!

So my fiance has been begging me to write something,anything! and I kept putting him off...the writing bug has not been around for a really long time and too much has happend in my life that I really did not have time to write. Its been two months since I have officially been back to work and its killing me! Mad respect to all mother's y'all! Now I know. Most of my peers have been sending me inboxes of late asking for advise here and there about motherhood and I feel really honored :) So in honor of that, I will document sneak peaks of my motherhood experiences the best way I know how (Darn! my writing mojo just went and dissapeared with the dogs....sigh!) a) Pregnancy I have to say this was the most beautiful part of motherhood for me and the most challenging. I vividly remember when I first got the results of my pregnancy test..FEAR,PANIC,HORROR were the words that were running through my head. I was barely out of Uni, with a boyfriend I had dated for about seven months,...

So first things first... a) My Job Have you ever had a love/ hate relationship with your job? Well, lets just say am one of those people. My kinda job is fascinating, mind boggling even...the kind of processes that go through getting work out are intricate and it fascinates me and some people are pleasent to hang out with BUT others tho! Enough said. That said and done, I am now permanent and I thank God for the far he has brought me. Building my confidence in my ability to be the best at what I do. God has been great. b) My folks/ Family There is a phrase commonly used that I tot...
