Crazy Love!


I was talking over the phone with my mentor and friend and he reminded me it was his wedding anniversary.  Oops!  I knew it was supposed to be today but..."Is today's date 20th October?" I asked staring at the answer on my calendar, slapping my forehead for forgetting while I listened to the long silence he gave me  like he meant to say 'typical of you!'

Asides my parents' anniversary,  this is another couple I celebrate and whose love and marital life is a model to many especially singles.
It's not like their marital life is  prefect and free of problems but each time I see them, there's just one thing that comes to my mind, "God is love and Love is God".
My mentor when discussing relationships and love life of which by the way is his passion, he would say, "Love is never enough and there are times you would fall out of love the same way you fell into it. But what is usually constant is your love for God and HIS for you which helps you learn the meaning of love and allows you learn to love your God, yourself and others."
Talking about love, it seem to me as the simplest word to say yet toughest to show. Loving God however this past few years, I've found to be the craziest thing to do!
The question now is, how do you love what you don't know or have never seen when you find it hard to love that reflection you see each time you stare at the mirror and that woman you claim to 'like' or some would say, "I really really like her"...
Can you give what you do not have??? I'll leave you to answer that.
Loving God though is the craziest thing I think I have done yet, I have learnt it is the solid foundation for any relationship.
Loving God has helped me learn to know and love myself as well as forgive and love myself over again. It has helped me believe in the 'unseen' ~miracles and miracles has helped my heart heal as I watch it grow to trust.
I am not a relationship or love guru and I might not know all that love is but, I sure do know what love is NOT because HE loves me.
Because HE loves me and I do HIM, I know I am special & unique and that HE truly cares. This has helped me know that I am capable of loving and be loved too.
Loving God has helped my faith in HIM grow and, my confidence in HIM is the assurance that no matter what happens or comes my way. HE is always on TIME!
Loving God is the test of your faith and ability to love. So when he says 'I love you', I think your response should be, 'do you love your God?'

S.O~ Happy wedding anniversary Mr &Mrs Richard!

For My G.Ma - Felicia

I never knew I would miss her this much. People never understood why I love Christmas. I didn’t quite get it too – apart   from the bursting joy of the birth of Christ, the melodious songs and beautiful decorations; there was more to the super hyper and lovey-dovey feeling I always have this season. So, I was scrolling through my phone gallery and saw the last photo I had with my G.Ma. Oh by the way, Christmas was her birth and death day. I’m writing this because of her. Just to share a bit of her awesomeness with you. That woman was a bad-ass! Reminiscing on my childhood memories with her, I realized she was the reason I love Christmas. I usually spent my Christmas and New-Year holidays with her as a child. She would take me to her church and ask the priest to allow me join other children in the Christmas carol rehearsals and performances. She would take me to the salon and have my hair done and accessorized. I hated making my hair, it was just too stressf...

Life

It seems like the only thing we leave behind besides legacy are the memories we create and imprint in the hearts of the people we love, have met, or cared for. Legacy, in my opinion, is formed out of memories – where we’ve been, the things that we did, our goals and accomplishments, even failures. The older I get, the more I think I’m beginning to understand the true essence of life. I hope I do. One moment, the people we love, know, or care about are here and the next they are gone. Tell me again, why we clench our fists as a new-born and let it all out when we leave? Or why we make loud noises in the announcement of our arrival and walk away in silence, sometimes without notice. Is life that meaningless, as the words of the king in Jerusalem, son of David? I never entirely fully agreed with some of his words in Ecclesiastes, the idea of it is very understandable though, actually very deep for one who has seen it all, I suppose.   ‘One generation goes its way, the next one...
