Oh Gracious Lord, Weaver of Words and Crafter of Courage, I come before You with open hands and an earnest heart. In my moments of doubt, remind me of Your unending faithfulness. Fill my mouth with Your wisdom and grace, that I may speak life into the shadows of this world. Stand with me, as You stood with Moses, and guide my words to mirror Your love. Let my voice be Your vessel, and my story a beacon of Your truth. For in the sharing of our journeys, we find the strength of Your Spirit weaving through us. In the precious name of Jesus, I lift this prayer. Amen.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 103 Visualizações

"I lost my mom at 12. A year later, my dad got married. She came with 2 kids, aged 14 a boy & a 16 year-old daughter. We lived together in the house, with me being the youngest.
I wasn't exactly maltreated, but I was being discriminated against by her children, who always got the best of everything. Growing up in that house was complicated. I did all the cooking & chores, which was a relief compared to what could have been worse - physical abuse. I ate daily meals, though not equally portioned like her kids - they got bigger pieces of meat and extra helpings. I convinced myself it was cuz I was the youngest.
However, my stepmom's behavior changed slightly when I started excelling in school. She would: Compare my grades to her daughters', Limit my study time, saying "house chores won't do themselves" Make subtle comments like "You think you're smarter than my girls?"
Despite this, I still respected her as my dad's wife and the mother of my household. Years passed, & my dad retired from his job. In a shocking move, he agreed with my stepmom to stop funding my education, citing "financial constraints. Despite that i was the most brilliant one in the house.
I was 22 & had to drop out of college to support myself & also helping stepmom in her restaurant business. That's when I met my husband - a rich, kind man who asked for my hand in marriage. My stepmom initially rejected him, saying I was "too young" & offered her older daughter instead. But he insisted on marrying me. When he approached dad, he agreed to our union. The day of my wedding, Stepmom called me into a private room & tearfully apologized for how she had treated me.
I forgave her, & we started Afresh. For over a year, we lived happily. She'd visit me often, helping with advice & support, especially when I became pregnant. Later on, after giving birth to my son, my stepmom visited, with the initial plan to stay with me for at least 6 months helping with nighttime feedings & caregiving tips. But 3 days ago something terrifying happened... While holding my 4-week-old b"by, my stepmom claimed she was "extremely sleepy" & accidentally dropped her. My son was rushed to the hospital, where doctors administered: Oxygen therapy, Phenobarbital to prevent any seizures. Thankfully, my baby is fine now...
A week before this incident, I walked into the kitchen to find my stepmom preparing my baby's bath water - it was scalding hot!. But all she could say was she "forgot" to test the temperature with her hand before putting the b"by in. Luckily, & thank God I intervened just in time, & my baby was unharmed. So now I'm really confused & consumed by doubts: If my stepmom's actions are truly accidental, or actually intentional or could it be just an act of carelessness & if i should still allow her to stay & help for the remaining 5 months, or could my bæby's safety be at risk? Please, help! kindly guide me through this.

Wounds take time to heal. When they are fresh they hurt. The deeper the wound, the stronger the pain. When they start healing, they sting. You have to take great care of them, address them, rest and be patient. While healing, it can happen that the wound opens up and causes pain all over again. But eventually it will heal. A scar will form, visible at the beginning but fading with every day that passes. I am here to remind you that this process does not only apply to physical wounds but to mental / emotional wounds as well. Do not be hard on yourself while recovering, my love. Healing wounds, especially deep ones, take so much time and effort. They will open up again, they will be painful and that is good - because it is proof that you are healing."

"Prostitution is now hookup, Charm is now Grace, Bad character is now mood swings, Fake life is now packaging, A broke young man is poor but a broke young woman is a strong woman, Happiness now depends on drugs, Drunkard now see addiction as excuse to depression.
Molly is now the real joy giver, Smokers now see it as a means of taking away their pains, Cultism is now the norms definition of real men, Money now paddles the canoe of love.
Meanwhile "I'm the table is now the slogan of a lady in relationship. Our old time friends are now strangers due to change in financial status, Brothers now selecting brothers according to their standards, WHAT A FOWARDED GENERATION"

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO SOMEONE FOR MARRIAGE
1. HOW THEY HANDLE CORRECTION.
Marriage will require a lot of learning, unlearning and relearning. If the person is not teachable, marriage will be a challenge.
2. HOW THEY ACT WHEN THEY DON'T GET WHAT THEY WANT.
If someone cannot handle disappointments, or they always want things to go their way, that will be a difficult spouse.
3. HOW THEY ACT AROUND THE OPPOSITE GENDER.
They are in a relationship but act & behave like they are single & open. Someone who gets overly excited around the opposite gender sometimes to the point of forgetting you even exist or wants to entertain and please others, will bring you unnecessary trouble.
4. HOW THEY ACT WHEN ANGRY.
Anger is a normal human emotion, but how you control it or how it controls you will determine if you're ready for marriage or you need serious help. Does the person become insulting, violent, threatening and rude when angry; or do they control their temper? Marriage will bring some reasons to be angry here and there; can they handle it?
5. HOW THEY ACT WHEN THE CONVERSATION IS ABOUT SEX.
If they get uncomfortable when the conversation is about sex or they get overly lustful; your marriage will have trouble. Marriage should be with someone open about sex conversations and also someone who sees it as something special in marriage.
6. HOW THEY ACT WHEN THE CONVERSATION IS NOT ABOUT SEX.
Does the person tune off or show no interest when you talk about other topics? That person is only interested in sex, not a long term bond with you. Be careful!
7. HOW THEY ACT WHEN YOU CAN'T GIVE TIME.
If there are moments you can't answer the persons phone call because you're in a meeting, function or can't reply immediately to their messages but you get back to them when you're done, does the person understand; or become controlling and insecure, wanting to micromanage your time? You are safe with someone who understands there are other parts and roles in your life that need your attention.
8. HOW THEY ACT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GOD.
If the person avoids God talk, they will not raise with you the Godly family you are praying for. Quote me anywhere, no marriage can enjoy the blessings that comes with marriage if they take away the one who instituted marriage out of the equation.
9. HOW THEY ACT WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A TOUGH MOMENT.
When you are having a bad day, when you are in trouble, does the person console you, comfort you and encourage you; or do they avoid your tough moments, are they emotionally unavailable and belittle your feelings. A good spouse cares.
10. HOW THEY ACT AROUND PEOPLE WITH MORE MONEY AND LESS MONEY.
There are partners who only wants to be with you when it is rosy & all sunshine. When the going gets tough, they run away and look for a new spark. If the person treats people based on their financial status, be careful. You could be about to get married to an opportunist. A good person is consistent in how he/she handles people of different status.10 THINGS YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO SOMEONE FOR MARRIAGE 1. HOW THEY HANDLE CORRECTION.

Trust the Quiet Transformation...
When you feel lost in shadows and the road ahead is hidden from view, be gentle with yourself.
Not every season is meant to be bright. Some are meant for soft unraveling—for letting go of what no longer fits, for becoming someone new in ways you can’t yet see.
Transformation often begins in silence, like a seed pushing through the dark soil, like a river carving a new path beneath still waters. It doesn't rush or roar—it listens, waits, trusts the pull of something greater.
So, if you find yourself unsure, aching, or standing still, know this: You are not broken—you are becoming. Trust the stillness. Trust the questions. In your own quiet way, in your own sacred time, the path will appear, and you will rise to meet it.Trust the Quiet Transformation...
