INSPIRED MONDAY: All things work together


      Riah had a lot on her schedule. In about 35 minutes, her driver would arrive and would take her and her new and only daughter to her new school. Riah looked on at the paper she had written her schedule on earlier that morning as it lay on her dressing table, she seemed lost in her schedule. The only things she had done were the arranging of her bag, the reading of her bible and devotion with her daughter.

     Riah felt sleepy, she felt the need to close her eyes but she shut the thought out. She had to complete her write-up within the next two days and she wasn't even half way yet. "Help me Lord" Riah sighed. She had gotten more busy and had forgotten to pick Matilda from the orphanage until Sarah reminded her. Riah didn't like the timing of Matilda's arrival. When she had planned it, she didn't think she would be this busy, she didn't think her job would be so stressful and she didn't want her daughter having impression of her mother as too busy for her.

     But none of these were in Riah's control,  all were in the hands of God. As long as all were in God's Hands, Riah knew all was good. Doesn't all things work together for good for them that love God and her called according to His purpose because God was in charge of all?

     Riah looked up at her face in the dressing mirror. Her face was oily and looked dull. She didn't want to wear any makeup, but she didn't want to look dull either. She picked up the powder brush on the table and removed the cover. She dabbed her face carefully with whatever powder lingered on it from her past usages. When she finished, she replaced the cover and stood the brush again beside the powder box. She ran her hands quickly through her short braids and stood up, picking up her black handbag from the dressing table. Riah walked towards her cupboard,  infront of which her full length mirror was. She looked again at herself and her dressing. She wore a dark red chiffon shirt, deep blue skirt and her block heels sandals were same colour with the skirt. 

     Riah turned and headed out of the roon. Matilda would be down in a while too, and they both would have a breakfast of crunch cereals, Matilda's favourite cereal, then she would pack Matilda's lunch and hopefully, as soon as they are ready, her driver would arrive and they would head out.

     Riah always had her days planned, she knew too well that things didn't always turned out as planned, but that didn't mean she shouldn't make plans. Lately, she had ensured she didn't make her plans all by herself, she always involved God. And even times when God didn't tell her the plan she made was not all that would happen that day, she knew that He was in charge,  she had put Him in charge, because that was the only way He could be in charge. He doesn't infringe anyone's privacy, Riah had learnt that and so she had to put Him in charge, or else, how would things work out? How would she have adopted the right daughter from the orphanage?

The Dreamer

       In a new place, with a strange dream... PART 1/2       Jasire opened his eyes slowly. Regardless of his fearsome dream, he was used to waking up quietly, as his mother would surely awake at any sound he or his siblings made, cautioning them to keep their voices low as the night was a very sensitive time. For the sake his mother, Jasire sat up as quietly as he could, this time, his mother wasn't leaning on the wall, asleep, and he infact had slept on a bed the night before, with his younger brother Tola by his right. The day was clear and Jasire felt a little bit of fright within him as he saw his mother asleep on a mat with his younger sister,  Alita. The day was never clear and his mother would still be asleep, infact,  she hardly slept through the night,  waking up at even the mere sound of a passing mosquito.        Jasire remembered his dream and wondered if he'd still be asleep like the rest of his family ...

FLEX FRIDAY💖. Four pink walls.

       Maya sat crouched on her bed, leaning partially against the wall. She had just awoken not long ago, the day was getting bright and so Maya figured it was almost 7 am. She knew she'd wait at least 30 minutes in that position before the door opens and the switch turns on.      Maya didn't love feeling too cold, but she loved the feeling of cold, she loved the season of cold. She loved it a million times than the hot season. She loved things she was able to control, and thus her hatred for the generator, her slight hatted for her caretaker, her hatred for her room.      As much as Maya loved cold a million times than heat, she loved the light a million times than the dark. She loved the moments in her room when it was flooded with light from the two white florescent bulbs that looked like lamps glued to her white ceiling.      White. Her ceiling was white. Maya had not decided if she loved white or not. Once, she laid ...

INSPIRED MONDAY: Gab and the tree

 The thoughts within Gab went on and on. Surely, there was no end to the mind. Every single thing had a depth,and that, a depth indeed. The depth of a single thing was connected to other things that don't seem to matter, but when looked at long and well enough,  it had its own unimaginable depth. When Gab was lost in thoughts, she had plenty of time to think over the depth of these matters, but with plenty of time, time was never enough. Every single dot had its own branches, and each branch had no end. The root was a mighty one - perfect, flawless, it couldn't be found to be destroyed or stopped - it was the root indeed.      The root. Gab had heard the word "root" lots of times. Thinking on it, it didn't seem like a word to be frequently used, after all, it was just a part of a tree. Gab thought of the root further,  and she knew two things more and again. First, there was a million ways to see a single thing.      Also, the root wasn't jus...

Thoughts of The Night

Image
Should I be eyes for the unseeing? Should I be image for the unseen? Should I be ears for the unhearing? Should I be words for the unheard? Should I be mouth for the things unsaid? Should I be words for things unspoken of? For those who cannot walk the night, to listen to the silent gossips of passersby... Should I be a silent whisper?  For those who are much timid to listen on the passersby... Should I be an echo wave of wind For those too distracted to notice the things around... should I be smoke of burning fire enough to get you out of your head For those too engrossed rather in their attractiveness... Should I be the better beauty of everything else in existence? Buh oh well, it's night It leaves as quickly as it comes, for it is no longer than day And oh well, it's night indeed Though it be gone, it will be back again For as the day fades, the night returns In all it's darkness, and all it's silence In all it's Glory, to prepare for a new day ahead. Amos 5:8 K...

PERFECT JUBILEE - Day 1

       Another way of relieving burdens, letting all the stress go is Praise.       One may wonder how this is possible when you seem to not have any strength left. If you're told to go to a particular location to get the solution to a problem that seems to have been stuck with you for a long time, hardly will you hesitate, buh now, instead of going anywhere, all you have to do is bring God, and with what? Praises, for He inhabits the praises of His people.  Note that it just doesn't say 'praise' but 'the praises of His people' Here are a few tips of Praises; Praise: In it He inhabits... Praise:  From the heavens, in the heights From the earth to all deeps From the kingdoms of the earth From all flesh to His Holy Name From all His works, from all saints Among the multitude; In the assembly of the upright Praise: With giving of thanks; And harps and psaltery and on instruments of ten strings Resounds continuously in His sanctuary; Continuously...
