Love is a beautiful thing. It causes people to sometimes love others even when they see how evil they are. We could say the heart acts differently when it's in love. The same goes for a church girl in need of love and a steady relationship. But she desires to have one with a church guy but soon find herself attracted to one who was an active member of the church. Not until they got involved, she never saw his evil ways. Her eyes were wide opened, even at moments where he put her in positions where she had to compromise her faith in the name of ' I love him'. She discovered who his true friends were and they were not God's  children. They drank and feasted with the devil and made her to feast too. She knew it was all wrong but still didn't want to leave. She knew she couldn't leave with her own power but with the help of God. And God brought her deliverance.     Many have walked that line and never came back. We should not be blinded by our feelings.

As children, we always looked forward to visiting our grandparents. To us, it meant lots of fun and most importantly, we might have a chance to see our grand father's treasures then, which were some editions of the World Guinness Book of Record and other fact books. When the opportunity came to visit, we'd plead and plead for him to let us get a view, but he would always decline saying; those are my treasures, I can't give to you guys. There were so many attempts but all failed. There were times we tried to sneak into his room, but our cousins who have lived with him for long always claimed he had an hidden eye in his room. And he always gets to find out or sense when someone enters his room when he's away. That fear was there. At other times, the room was locked. At times, we were tempted to say, well, at least when he dies, we would get to see those treasure of his. But now, years have passed. Technology has  advanced.  Our curiosity to see...

We had to go through rocky and dusty roads, through an ocean and scary heights and depths, and it was worth it. My experience with GFI was more than amazing. I am grateful for my friend who inspired me to write about my trip. It was indeed a lovely experience packaged with the good things of life. There was never a dull moment. There were trials and many battles to fight. But we saw God's hands in everything. The journey to Ekiti was a long one. Our bonding process began from there. It was faster with those at the back seat. The travelling bags kept falling on them to the point that potholes and bumps became scary to them. Passing through Ife was exciting too. The akara was so nice, so soft and sweet. It was nice that we had to share as well. It was nice having aunty Tola on the bus. We were never hungry on the trip. And she made us remember our old time religion by singing those songs we sang a lot back in the days. Songs that makes us think of our mission and vision...

Speak of what's illegal, Can you see the buried morals? Watch what's immoral, And mostly illogical. You speak against evil, Though you stand with the devil, You blame it on the devil That You can no longer be civil. You jump to kill and cheat, To create fear and heat Many more you try to beat It's like nothing but a little treat. The love of money, doesn't bring honey. The route is dirty, leaves you filthy. All is vanity. Don't worry about impecuniosity. Build on positivity. Step into eternity.  

How many more chances?  Is it a matter of fate or luck? Heartbreaks can ruin chances.  A missed chance can be bad luck.  It's all about making the right choice  It isn't fate but wise thinking.  True to the fact that attitude affects chances, For love in itself is kind, Doesn't hurt or bite. Give me a chance to love you.  Give me a chance to feel loved.  Not a chance to be heartbroken.  Not a chance to be ruined. Just a chance for love to bind us together.  A chance to be true. A chance to show the right attitude.  A chance to show love isn't wicked.  A chance to prove love can last forever.

        They pull out from clouds,  high in the sky. They come in millions,  Can't seem to skip them. They define elements, molecules and atoms. Dots of fluid in a straight line,  They travel from a distance beyond what the eye can see. They are sometimes crystal and sometimes dusty. They are like vomits, giving us back our wastes. Reminding us that our deeds,  have a way of coming back to us.

                   FAITH. Faith is like the magic spell that brings to reality your wishes and desires. Hebrews 11 tells us about faith. Verse 1 of Hebrews 11 says, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Verse 3 strucked me in two places; 1. God created the world through faith. He believed in His words. No wonder in psalms 138:2; it says; thou hast magnified thy Word above thy name. That same word that was made flesh as seen in John 1. 2.  Things which are seen where not made of things which do appear. God made the world out of nothing. Absolutely nothing. Man would have to work with the elements of earth to create something. But God makes something out of nothing. That makes Him the God who knows no impossibilities. He is not limited by anything.  Matthew 19:26 says, With God all things are possible. It's really amazing! Hebrews 11 is such an amazing chapter to read when you are...
