The Diary.

JANUARY 9, 2021.
Today i re-learnt this:
Holding on to hurt and wishing/praying that something bad happens to the person that has hurt you is like drinking poison and hoping that another person dies. "Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. There are two great rivers that cause love to flow into the hearts of men and women. The river of giving, and the river of forgiveness. The world today, is filled with so much heartaches and pain because these rivers have been clogged with so much garbage. Unforgiveness is poisonous and a demonic tool designed to stop us from moving forward."Did i believe it? Yes, very much. It sunk in real deep but it was still hard to do. I've been hurt alot and been blamed for it by the same people simply because they misunderstood me or were too ready to point our my faults without realizing how much more of their owm i was overlooking. This life is hard but i've convinced myself of the right way to go...
Forward!


 JANUARY 11, 2021
So alot of things have happened to me in the past few months...good things...hurtful things as well.
There were times when i was really worried about how I'd get through the next day but i have come to terms with the fact that, worrying doesn't change anything. In fact, it makes things worse. "Hakuna Matata," popularized by that movie The Lion King, means " no worries " Timon and Pumba were trying to convince Simba that the past is the past, and that you can either learn from it or run from it. They emphasised that nothing good comes out of dwelling on it because you can't change it and most of the time, it just hurts you some more so its just best to ignore the past and move on after learning from it... What I've begun to learn? Stop the worry, especially when it comes to things out of my control. all i can do is what i can do and what i can do is enough for God. So what is the use of the worry? I believe now more than ever, that i am more than a lion king. I am the King's kid. My father knows and sees all things before they happen to me. So I will pack up my troubles in my old kit bag and smile ,smile, smile and smile daily, singing Hakuna Matata!

How Well Do You Know Your Telephone History?

Have you ever wondered how you could just pick up this small device and talk through it to someone else, miles and miles away from you and hear them as clearly as if they were sitting on the same couch as you? I have wondered that a lot. I have wondered who could have stumbled on the idea that something could be done to make people who live far away from each other to communicate with each other by voice. How did the person get the idea? Well, here's what i found... Two men, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray stumbled on the idea; maybe around the same time, I don't know, but they both filed for a patent on the same day. This caused a huge disagreement that led to a legal battle to find who to be awarded the patent for the invention of the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell won. His lawyer had filed for a patent a few hours before Elisha's lawyer filed for his own patent. One day, in an electrical shop, Alexander Graham Bell was trying to perfect a method for sending mes...

I met a man once - The bad?

Hi guys, it's been  months since I updated my blog... It's been a busy 1 year for me and I'm proud of myself and the woman I've become. A friend of mine reminded me a few days ago, of how grown I have become, especially mentally and in my writing skill. I didn't take her seriously until she mentioned my blog. You can't be surprised that i decided to take a look at it this morning only to become nostalgic.  It reminded me of a lot of things but more than that, I can see the flaws in some of the things I've written, and I'm grateful that I am at a point in my career where I can actually spot all of it with ease and create several ways I could have done it better...on the spot! Before I get any more emotional 😎 I stumbled on the last draft I saved for publishing in February of last year and I'm going to share it with you guys exactly as I left it back then.  Read On... "Some of us know how we can feel a lot of different emotions for just one perso...

I Met A Man Once (4)

  Dear he-who-must-not-be-named! You texted me, "let's let it go. Gave it our best shot." Just at the time I was reading. "God tells you to put something down because he has something greater for you" and it made complete sense. I knew exactly what to do at that point. I knew that he actually wanted me to let you go.   I did not know why, I did not want to let you go, but I knew then that he was answering my prayer of three-four months ago when I told him I didn't want to be in a relationship with any man again except he's actually my life partner, and how he should give me the wisdom to relate with the men in my life at that time, To not make the same mistakes as I did in the past, and that if I ever got really close in love with any of them and he wasn't the right one, that God should find a way to make something happen between us that would cause us to let each other go before we agreed to be exclusive. I realized that he had answered that...
