Believer

When we first started 'talking', he asked me if I believed in Soulmates, I said no. A little less than a year later, I looked to him and said, " A soulmate,  is someone who puts up with your BS, thinks your weird is cute and pushes you to be your best. Thanks for making me a believer"

A little over a year later, I can add, "A soulmate is someone who loves you through and through and makes you smile and knows how to make everything right and loving him doesn't wear you out. It's like a permanent crush. Thanks for making me a believer"

Daddy's girl

I love my dad! He is my first real lesson on how any man should treat me. Anyone who knows me knows I am a daddy's princess and like most daddy's girls, sometimes I have my diva moments.

Anyway, last weekend hubby travelled for some military function so I decided to go spend the weekend with my dad and boy, did I get spoilt.

I arroved Saturday morning and spent the morning with my dad catching up. We caught up on what I have been up to and had breakfast together.  We did same on Sunday and spent more time talking about life, love, marriage and the future.

If there is one thing I know for sure, my dad did an awesome job bringing me up. He taught me to love, laugh and be content with my lot. These attributes have stuck with me and will definitely take me places.  In this short life of mine, I have seen a lot of people ruin what would have been a glorious future by not being content. 

I have seen many wives get bitter and destroy their own homes with their 'I deserve more than what I have now' attitude.

Today, let me be quite frank with you, misplaced ambition will be the end of you. Misplaced ambition will make you bitter and the bible says it is better to live on top of a roof than to live with a bitter woman.

Woman, why lose your graceful nature because you think life owes you? Why lose your joy and the spark in your eye because you think you have to be a fighter.  Is it really worth it?

Better by far u should forget and smile

When God and man work on creating a miracle

I have been struggling to come up with an appropriate post but still na da! Nothing!  Writers block!! But anyway,  I am here.

The wait is over, hubby is back.  Maybe that is why I have been away for a while. But today, I have quite an interesting post.

In Africa,  immediately you marry, everybody expects you to have a baby and if you don't have a bump to show off in 3 months, well, society has an unspoken way of making you feel inadequate or somehow, less as a woman.

Of late, people have been asking the hubby and myself when we are expecting.  While that question is extremely annoying,  it is wrong by all standards. What has our baby plans got to do with anything?

The value of marriage, in my opinion, has been reduced to childbearing. Many happy homes have been destroyed due to situations like this. I know a couple who started doubting their fertility when they had not made a baby after just 3 months of marriage.

I believe a child is a gift from God. It is the only time God and man work together to make a miracle.  A child is a beautiful blessing and for those trying, keep your eyes on God. In due season, He will bless your home.

Don't let people steal your joy, keep your eyes on God and continue keeping the joy in your home. Stay focused, happy and blessed.
