THE KIND OF A HOME I CRAVE FOR


I was in my bedroom one day and so many thoughts ran through my mind but the most prevailing one was the thought on ‘How I want my future home to look like’. I begin to draw and fantasize about a picture in my mind. I want a lovely home. I want a good home. I want a fruitful and growing home. I want a home where my spouse together with our kids is free to talk to each other without any intimidation. I want a home where our kids will prefer to be than any other place.
I want a home where there are no secrets. I long for a home where Love, Commitments, Faithfulness, Godliness, Fruitfulness and Trusts abound, a home free of hatred and regrets, a home where I am free to pour out all my thought and worries to my spouse.
I longed for the kind of home where Peace, Joy, Love, Happiness, is the order of the day. Where my children trust us enough and can approach us to confide in us, seek for our advice and share their worries with us.

Yes! A home that others can imitate. The type of home where there is perfect understanding and acceptance of individual differences. A home that our kids can be proud of. Wonderful home where the fear and love of God is not lacking.
I passionately desire that kind of home where the Bible is loved and taught, a home where God’s will is sought, a home where my spouse is true and strong, a home that is free from the blight of wrong. A home where I the mother, in caring quest, strives to show my kids that God’s way is best, a home where the children are led to know that Christ in His beauty loves them so, and a home where the altar fires burn and glow.
Hmm! So I sighed heavily. Who doesn’t want such a loving home? I then realised a fact.

 Good Homes are not just made. They don’t grow from fantasies and they don’t just grow from the ground. They require a lot of hard work, passion, commitments and sacrifices from the two persons (children inclusive) involved. They are made carefully and consciously by two matured and responsible people who made an oath on their wedding day to spend the rest of their lives together in any situation. Two people who have made a resolution in their hearts never to allow their home to be blown away by winds and storms no matter how powerful and threatening and have stayed true to that resolution. Two people who have become entwined together that they see themselves reflected in one another. Two people who are God fearing and have worked very hard to building their home in the standard of God. Two committed souls who want to achieve their goals and build their future together. Two individuals who have made a lot of sacrifices just to keep their marriage.
And then I asked myself, ‘are you ready for this Joy?’ are you ready to go through with the sacrifices of keeping a good home? Are you ready for the challenges?
Of course yes! I’ll do anything to have such a good and lovely home. I will explore any (godly) means possible to see that my dream and wish about the kind of home I crave for come true.
What about you? Comment with Yes if you also like this kind of a home.....

2016 Review: Voke Ogedegbe: 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far

2016 would forever become a memory in a matter of hours.  Before it rolls away, I want to talk about my year 2016. I entered 2016 oblivious of the fact it was a new year,  this,  was,  consequence of a terrible breakup I had in the October of the previous year.  The tears and pain that came with my broken relationship saw me through the first two months of the year and one morning in the month of March,  I woke up,  looked into the mirror,  told myself I was beautiful and I deserved more! I really think, the old witch in my village had dropped my picture to use another she fancied more than mine to fan her bosom and that's the only reasonable explanation as to how I received sense that morning. For the first few months of 2016, I laughed,  sometimes,  too hard. This was an attempt to mask my pain,  I put up a nice show - I should be an actress, I even deserve an Oscar. I didn't want the world to know my pain, I didn't want them ...

THE MYTH BEHIND MONEY

Money Money Money!!! Everybody just wants to make money. Sometimes I wonder if money has any other importance than to get us our basic needs and wants which are just pleasures and are perishable. The thing is, there is nothing that money gives that cannot be destroyed. So why so many of us have become slaves to money I can’t stop but wonder. Yea, money can give us respect and fame. With it, you will never have to suffer anymore. Some even see it as the means to secure their future and future generations. Yea, we can buy whatever we want with money, we can go places we want with money, we can step on any toes and we can do and undo anything we like. It has even gotten to the extent that some people can be bought over with money and this so called love we shout all about, has also gotten itself entangled in the web of money. So what are we saying? Money is good and without money, life can be frustrating and tormenting. Hmmm! But come to think of it, despite how powerful and i...

2016 Review: Niyi Olu Emmanuel, 2016, The Blessings And Lessons So Far

My life has been a testimony as far back as I can remember. I've been through a lot in this little life I've lived so far. Facebook has been an escape world for me and I find strength in my God as I fought my way through in life. After failed attempts to graduate two (2) years back, (I spilled twice), I was discouraged and depressed, but my Jesus is ever sweet to me, I've had beautiful life in Christ Jesus. To HIM alone be all the glory. Hallelujah! Hmm! Facebook has afforded me the opportunity of meeting friends, beautiful ones at that. Alphagirl Anthony, a tiny voiced, long legged friend of mine, her crazy posts and character made my days most times as I laughed heartily, you're such a darling. Norberts Cindy, she was first my partner in attacking Rita then she became my Bae, she possess a good heart and "shy", (although I don't believe she's shy sha). I cherish you girl, (still waiting for my birthday post from you sha). Ujam Emmanuel is my g...
