A Girl Has Gotta Do What A Girl Has Gotta Do...



I always say we learn everyday...and I mean that literarilly and practically...by so doing, we grow...growth can either be vertically,horizontally or both...but I don't know where to place this...you figure out yourself.
I discovered something about myself...I realised that I tend to get affirmation from people I love,trust and respect before making a decision (usually major) and this in itself is not a bad thing afterall the good book says "In the multitude of counsel, there is safety".
But it becomes a problem when it takes precedence over affirmation from God!(I can explain)
For instance if I'm about to make a decision,I tend to call up and talk to people I trust and respect who will give me good advice on how to go about it and I also get their opinion on whether it is a good or bad decision and based on this...I make my decision...it makes sense BUT and a big one at that...It should be in a totally different order...ask God...Let Him through the HS lead you to whom you ought to ask for advice etc...
We just need to learn to trust God and like Nike says "JUST DO IT"...but pray first!
I'm not saying "be stupid"

But God's ways is not our ways and we really can't box Him...He is way bigger than all that...
And if you've prayed and you have the peace of God in your heart concerning a decision no matter how big...then you need to trust that you have the mind of Christ and just do what you have to do...(yes I'm talking to me too)
And no it isn't true all the time that the voice of the people is the voice of God...no way...


Yeah so I've decided to seek His face, make up my mind,make a decision and stand by it and implicitly trust that He's got my back regardless.

Okay this song comes to mind...'cos that's what I'm doing...HOLDING ON big time!!!...I'm pretty sure I've put it on here before....but then enjoy...

The voice of men is not necessarily the voice of God.

Boy...are you ever right! I'm one of those people who seeks the counsel of my nearest and dearest first. If I ever consider bringing something to God it's because one of these smart people made the suggestion to me! I have much to learn.

As usual, thank you for your timely words from God...the topics you're led to share here are no accident.

Follow me @Nolimit2life How many times have you told yourself at the beginning of the year that things just have to change? I am so guilty of this! But no more, if it needs to be fixed, then I'm going to do just that, fix it! Todays 3six5woman post is about someone who decided to make that move! I really hope you get inspired to not just accept the status-quo but give yourself a chance!  Yes You Can! Photo Credit:  http://www.deviantart.com/

Re: In The Name of All Things Men.

Was stuck on the train in the middle of no where for a while...national rail can like to get their acts together!What better time to write/type than then:) Here are the random thoughts that came to me based on Vera's radio show...but before then, enjoy this track... Don't blame the men for the lies,blame the women who will swallow any lie so long as it makes them look good...don't blame the women,blame the men who put them in that state. Personally I'm of the opinion that a strong onus is on the woman to decide not to be stupid...we are nuturing and very kind...a guy will take you on a ride if he knows he can get away with murder where he's concerned in your life. Sometimes we love the idea of being in love than love itself...it isn't about how you feel,if it was about feeling then I should have killed by now.Reminds me of the time my friend asked me "how can something that feels so good be so wrong"...the act is not wrong darling it is the timing tha...

Judging A Book By It's Cover

Sometimes we meet people and assess them based on their outward appearance...to our own detriment!!! Yes our own detriment because this act in it's self is absolutely unwise..."pun intended"!!! Yours truly is guilty of this from time to time...We sometimes have the tendency to want to box people into compartments we've created for them in our minds... So a guy who's trousers refuses to cooperate with the force of gravity(lol) is not cool and when a girl wears a scandalous outfit, that makes her a slut.... Gibberish I say!!! Absolute nonsense...it does not work that way...trust me, I should know... A recent global case is that of the beautiful singer Susan Boyle ...I watched the clip on You Tube and when she said she wanted to be as famous as a well known singer,everyone right down to the judges snickered at her and thought she was just another joker...when she opened her mouth to sing, she became a HIT at the cute age of 47!!!(Another blog topic for another day......
