Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall...grow like a vine. Hosea 14:7

God moves us from place to place, from situation to situation, from experience to experience, to "grow us up" so He can use us more.
As long as we are willing to yield to His methods and are willing to grow and change, He will find greater and greater ways to use the talents and abilities that He gave us at our birth, as well as the spiritual gifts and potential in Christ that He gave us...

David encouraged himself in the lord so am I and hope this will also help someone who is planning to quit after waiting a long time for joy to come.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit…
Rest if you must—but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists...

(Dedicated to Olaoluwa)

Radio, TV, DVDs, are all fine
It helps me forget for awhile
I look back and recall
Those days I had with you
Sometimes I need a friend just to make it through
Another Year spent without you

You, you gave me all the reasons to live
But then you had to go
And I just got to let you know
It's hard to love again
just to make it through
Another year spent without you
...

In the depth of my soul there is
A wordless song - a song that lives
In the seed of my heart.
It refuses to melt with ink on
Parchment; it engulfs my affection
In a transparent cloak and flows,
But not upon my lips.

How can I sigh it? I fear it may
Mingle with earthly ether;
To whom shall I sing it? It dwells
In the house of my soul, in fear of
Harsh ears.

When I look into my inner eyes
I see...

I've Learnt
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.
And it's not the end of the world.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life,
but who you have in your life that counts....
