BARE-FEET TO HIGH HEELS

With speed like that of a thunder clap
The din of soft little bare-feet
Veered into sounds of sharp high heels
hmmm, she's growing into a woman

With tempo likened to that of a lightening bolt
She's now grown from pampers
Into puberty, now with sanitary pads
Yeah! she's welcome to the world of womanhood

With speed like that of light
She's dispatched from the train of childhood
Now struggling with self-discovery in adulthood
Indeed these are grand steps into womanhood

From a wild, mischievous and shabby look
Into a face adorned with cosmetics and youthful radiance
The outside beauty is sure but the inside

Why am i who i am? she ponders
Why do i feel vulnerable and incomplete, she ponders
Or am i just a beautiful container made by my maker?
Maybe  i was coupled with a purpose and and qualities altogether

A woman like Rebecca i can be
Cos though pretty yet lived a life of purity
Not like our beautiful Racheal
Oh! very attractive but yet futive

A woman like Esther i should be
Prayerful yet adorned with wisdom and humility
Not acting like beautiful Vashti
Whose disobedience and pride came before her fall

A total woman is one who fears the Lord
With qualities like our lady in proverbs 31
Hey! are you just a container with feminine attributes?
If yes, make a change today and take a step into total womanhood

ABOUT LOVE

The cute guy came around and smiled at you, such that made your heart melt right inside of you and then he said Ï love you". The feeling was just indescribable, in fact you felt the whole world was revolving around you. He told you that you were the true definition of perfection and he couldn't live without you...   Yes, he may have loved you, but was it really love or ??? I don't think it was love because I learnt that you cant really love someone whose assets and liabilities you cant define. Ok... you looked good; your Brazillian hair, glittering dinner dress, diamond jewelleries, flawless make-up, beautiful shoes and irresistible cologne fragrance were all in tact.   He was attracted and carried away. You thought it was going to last forever...... Just after a while, he stops calling, ignores your calls, becomes too busy and gives countless excuses. It hurts, obviously true. It can actually make you feel less about yourself but here is God whispering in ...

THE PRESENCE OF LOVE

When you are in love with someone, a walk in the rain becomes a welcomed chance to share an umbrella. An unexpected snow-storm provides the setting for a quiet afternoon snuggled in front of the fireplace together. What could be bad times are good when you are with the one you love. In the same way, a growing relationship with God and appreciation for His presence beside you can give you a whole new outlook on life's storms. From a short-lived cloudburst to a long and difficult winter, adversity offers yet another occassion to draw closer to the Lord you love - and who loves you even more. Nothing can happen to you that could be too small for this protective hands or big. Nothing you will ever face could be too serious, too difficult or too lasting to keep the warmth and closeness of his comfort away from your heart. When you are in love with someone, suddenly nothing matters quite so much as the fact that you are with your beloved and your beloved is with you.... SOS 6:3 ...

THINK OF THIS

How good is a house if its not a home How good is a tree if it bears no fruits How good is a garden if it has no flowers How good is a clock if it cant tell the time How good is are friends if they cant care and share How good are eyes if they cant be used for sight How good are ears if they cant be used for hearing How good is a nose that cant be used for breathing How good are legs if they cant be used for locomotion How good is a mirror that cant reflect images How good is a phone that cant be used for calls How good is a heart that cant pump blood How good is a book that cant be read How good is a youth without a dream and How good if your life if you are not living for Christ Remember a life without Christ is a life in crisis written by Alice Asuquo
