Faith In Action

Have you had a dream since your school days ? Have you brought it into reality? I know many did not because I am one of them. When I finished matric I wanted to become a social worker. I knew I had to go and study to become a professional social worker but since we were not in a great financial state I reckon ,"nah let me rather go and work".  I had this dream because I had the passion to help people or maybe I didn't.   I mean if I were that passionate about this career why did I not try all means to fulfill this dream. This is which led me to help someone to revive that buried dream. 1. Go down memory lane It is nice to just become quiet with your own thoughts and being reminded of the good things that happened years ago. It is also important to remember that dream you once had. Start to remember how it made you feel when you daydreamed about it. The possibilities you envisioned with the beautiful end results. 2. Write it down again You probably wrote your dream down ba...

Philippians 4: 8 ..." whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things." The question you and I should ask ourselves today is.." What am I focusing my mind on"? Many times we dont get what we want. We then start to become negative and immediately negative thoughts starts in our mind. That thoughts then goes over to our words and then reflects in our behaviour or attitude. Its so easy to become caught up in negative emotions and in the process we carry it around and rub it off on everyone we come in contact.  Why are we so easily influenced by our thoughts?   I believe it is the place where everything starts that we want to see in our lifes. If it is good we want to see we will think of good things and those things will eventually flow out to the mouth into actions...

Have you ever fine you so busy being busy with stuff not related to yoi lately? Have you consume all your energy on things not important or beneficial to you? Well lately I have . Two months went to waste like totaly. I were focused on unimporyant stuff! No one to blame but myself. We can become so caught up in following other people's lives on social media. Watching their every move, so busy being busy with their lives. Instead of startinh to build on yours. Two months ago i wrote on my blog. Im so dissapointed yes but yoi know what it doesnt matter. Every moment happening in your life has a message and a booster. It motivated me more when realising that time waits for no one. It is either you get back into or just continue watching how life pass me by day by day and becoming all negative and depressed. That however is not going to happen on my watch as long as I still have breath in my lungs. Who will join me?? Yes I know I was not consistent, nor writinh enough, not produc...

Life has taught me so many things in a short period of time of my precious years here on earth. One can grow through situations that was meant to destroy you. It does not mean that I have everything under control now but I sure have a better idea how to react to situations now. Previously decisions were made based on what others thought. Looking back now there are footprints of seeking approval from others. Not feeling worthy of myself. Always trying to fit in somewhere.  How naive can one be?? The money and time spent on senseless things. How time really passed by partying it away. Lived in the now moments and not planning and thinking of the future. The many dreams that were dreamt during childhood times were hidden far away. The feeling of achievement because now there is more than enough money to buy all the things you could never buy. Simply because there was just enough for what was needed and not wanted. You always thought that if you finish school you will get a pe...

When we look around us today we can see troubles from everywhere. We become so saddened about the things that are happening in our societies, communities, nation and the world as a whole. When did people become so ruthless, loveless, uncompassionate , no feelings of regret? It is especially sad when we hear women and children are abused or went missing. It's like there is no more love among people. We become so fearful of the animosity among our people and the constant fighting against each other. It brings me to the question:" What is the meaning of all this?" Is it Ok that things are like it is? Must we accept it like this? We are so focused on the ones that got hurt that we forget about the one who did it. It leads me to the wonder of why?? What went wrong in that person's life to go to such an extreme to feel no regret of what he/ she did to someone else. It is heartbreaking because that person is also someone's child. He /she is so damaged if the...

Have you woke up one day and realise that you got another chance at life? Its fascinating to think of the privilege to see another day. Just the other day you were at your lowest of low. You thought you will never make it. You gave up in fact. But here you are given another chance. Yes, you made bad choices. You got involved in wrong relationships. Seeked attention in all the wrong places which landed you in situations you are not proud of.  Searched for approval of friends by joining the crowd. You wanted to be part of the clan because life is so easy when you are one of them. You are important and everyone knows you and this kind of life make you feel important some how.   You always felt like the nerd, the one who is boring, never going out, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink alcohol or dont do clubs. So the moment when you became one of the 'good time' girl or boy , having a blast ,it all changed. You suddenly had a lot of friends. You made friends so...

How often do we look at celebrities success stories. Reading it,following it on tweeter,facebook.  We start to fantasise about our own life. How we will be when we can become famous,well-known, popular, rich or even just making it in life. It's easy to follow other people's lives and clapping for them ,celebrating them whilst we still procrastinate on our own life. Yes,obcoz we should celebrate others.  Don't get me wrong. It is through such role models we can aspire to  become what we also should be. Many people have started small . They started with only one dream. One desire. One goal. With only what they had to offer. It brings us to the question. What do you and I have to offer to this world?. There are so many things we can do. Reaching out to teenagers, to abused women, to poor households, to underprivileged schools ,to a community with lack of entertainment activities. Still all the above are not the limit. What do you have?. What is it that y...
