Joojo and an animal with thousand feet

His trouser smelt of sweat so Joojo felt he should abandon it on the bathroom door after taking his bath. The next morning he urgently needed to step out, he must meet someone. Unfortunately, all his clothes were dirty. He scanned through the dirty clothes and found a not-so-dirty one. It was a shirt. Turning…
No Limit

Sometimes getting some things done is like getting unto a moving bus. The longer you wait, the more speed the bus picks up. And there are certain buses once you miss, you might as well give up on wherever you think you are going. What sometimes keeps you from implementing very good ideas you come…
Surrender

The sermon hooked her and squeezed tears from her backslidden soul Her hard heart became a punching bag for the preacher’s punch lines Many times she’s come to this point On her knees Where she’s laid it all down She hopes That this time she’s come back It will be the end Of borrowing without…
You are going somewhere

Tomorrow has brighter opportunities for you than today has, but tomorrow is less forgiving of your mistakes than today is. With time, you meet better and more influential friends. Certain selling out you did in your past, some nasty words that occasionally slip from your mouth in anger, learn your lessons and bury here, today,…

The womb gives equal care to all because whether by accident or by choice, every unborn child has the potential to grow into a full human, without any…
Buying extra time

Nobody ever gets there overnight Taken lots of fast lanes that led to nowhere Back home and now in bed Sipping coffee and reading stories of other travellers So many detours, so many dead ends And so many dead along the way trying to get there As I put the pieces together I see where…
What interpretations do you assign to your problems?

Our interpretations of our problems, life experiences and circumstances in which we find ourselves are prophetic. Do you assume you are under a curse or paying for past sins when you are going through difficulties? Think positive. Say positive things about yourself. Speak positive things into your circumstances. Prophesy great things over your life. You…
Two naked hands clasp a third

Many hands have clasped mine in theirs Like tenants of a room they have come and gone Taking with them my eagerness to forgive and let go And my faith to be healed again You have brought it all back in one clasp I have read the unspoken message in your warmth And you can…
