WORDS OF WISDOM by Seun Sajuyigbe

Seun wrote this note on her facebook wall and I decided to share here. There is nothing but absolute truth in all this. Read on and be blessed.

There are no absolute finish line 4 everyone in d race of life. Our tracks are different,our lanes are different & our durations are different. D only thing we have in common is the same umpire. For instance one person graduates @ age 20 & struggles for another five years to get a job, another might graduate @ age 25 & gets a job immediately. One can marry a virgin & wait for d next decade to have... d blessings of children, another lady probably after having series of abortions in her past, becomes a mum almost immediately after marriage. A fellow becomes MD @ 38 and dies @ 56, another becomes MD @ 55 and lives to 90 what a life. life is full of twists, turns, ups & downs and many more surprises & disappointments. Life offers each one of us different opportunities. It is up to each of us to patiently prepare,wait, recognise & utilise every opportunity. We learn on the way. No one knows it all or has it better. There is a reason why we all don't fall @ d same time. Its so dat when one is down, weak & discouraged, d other who is strong, can encourage and uplift him. God never promised that the road would be easy but He promised never to leave nor forsake us. There's no competition in life so let's learn to go easy on ourselves & trust that God is working it all 4 good (even if it doesn't make sense now).I know dat there is a time 4 everything but most importantly that "it will come to pass". Whatever trials, challenges or down time, this too shall pass & in due course, u'll be up & strong again 2 lift up those who maybe down around you".Lots of things in life are by choice & not by force. Let God take the wheels in our Lives!

MEET PHIL DRISCOLL

 Ever heard about the man who plays the trumpet and the blind people receive their sight? I have heard his music time and time again and all I can say is indeed this man is anointed of God.
Trumpeter Phil Driscoll has received a Grammy Award and several Dove Awards. Although he is known best as a Christian musician, he has also released classical, country, and contemporary albums that feature a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks. Driscoll has also recorded patriotic songs, such as "The Star-Spangled Banner," "America the Beautiful," and "Battle Hymn of the Republic." In addition, he has performed at several Democratic Party conventions.In addition to playing the trumpet, Driscoll is also an accomplished singer; his voice has been compared to Joe Cocker and Ray Charles.

Driscoll was born in Seattle, Washington, where his father was the pastor of a small full-gospel church. As a toddler, he spent many services under the piano, listening to his mother thump hymns while his father preached. After two years, the family moved to Spokane, Washington, where his father spent the next two years as pastor of another church; during this period, Driscoll recalled, he often played a little yellow and red plastic trumpet on street corners to accompany his father's preaching. After that, the family moved to Dallas, Texas, where Driscoll's parents built two churches in five years. Click here for more about Phil Drisccol.

WHAT THEY DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT ABORTION AND HOW GOD CHANGED MY LIFE by Diane Meyer

Very interesting and touching story, I must say. He is a God of not just a second chance, but a God of many chances. Please read on.....

The following nine minute testimony was shared in the services of Good Shepherd Community Church January 18 & 19, 1997. Diane shared this in the middle of a message on unborn children given by Randy Alcorn.
When I was 17, I found myself apart from my family, involved in an unhealthy relationship with a man and pregnant—which was something I didn’t want to think about or deal with.
Eventually, though, I did go down to Lovejoy abortion clinic in Portland to make an appointment to have an abortion. I made this decision because I had no desire to be a mother, and quite honestly, because I was terrified of going through the pain of labor. I just didn’t think of it as being wrong.
When I was examined I was found to be 24 weeks, or six months, pregnant. But I was assured that although I couldn’t have a simple clinical abortion, I could still have one done at a nearby hospital. I agreed. I would have done anything to not be pregnant, and I showed up at the hospital on the scheduled day.
I was placed, along with about a dozen other young girls, in a large basement ward which was lined with cots. There, we received a saline injection in our abdomens which was designed to kill our unborn babies and expel their tiny bodies.

7 WAYS TO TACKLE YOUR FEAR AND DEVELOP YOUR COURAGE

Stumbled on this inspiring piece and thought to share: Read on and be blessed.

Are your fears holding you back from living the life you deserve?

On a scale from 1 to 10, how much are your fears holding you back in life: ______.

Do you wish you could show more courage in your day-to-day dealings with others?

How would you show more courage: ____________________.

If you had more courage, maybe you could ask for that raise you've been waiting for, feel more confident in closing that next sale, or even invite the girl of your dreams to go out on a date! The possibilities are endless!

But what is courage, really? Courage is the ability to continue moving forward even in the face of challenge, adversity, and fear.

Without fear, there could be no bravery. So being courageous is largely about managing fear as best you can and still taking the best action available to you.

Courage Is Like A Psychological Muscle.

Being brave is similar to lifting weights. The more you participate, the easier it becomes. Alternatively, the more you're willing to use and accept fear as an excuse not to move forward, the easier that path becomes. You get good at the things you practice regularly.

SELF ENDORSEMENT

Recently I watched a funny episode of Jerry Springer's show. A lady was actually sleeping with her cousin's boyfriend because he is the only who has ever made her feel beautiful. I watched on with pity as the girl broke into tears saying "I slept with him because he is the only one who has ever told me I'm beautiful". "As a matter of fact, I love him. No one has ever made me feel beautiful and wanted". Annoyingly enough, when the guy in question was interviewed and asked why he did something like that, he said " I slept with her out of pity. I dont love her. She was all over me because I told her she's beautiful".

I know quite a lot of people who have had to deal with the issue of self esteem, Self confidence or self endorsement like I put it. I wrote a nite sometime ago on facebook and I will love to share it again on this blog and trust God that someone will break free from all form os self pity and self destruction.

I was sharing some few things with my pastor's wife some time ago and in the course of our discussion, she made a statement that has ever since played and replayed time and time again in my head. This statement she made, I beleive is the foundation of anything and everything, good or bad. I pray that as I share this small piece with you, someone will be blessed and will dare to rise again.

She said....."Apart from the fact that I got endorsement from my family and friends, even I endorsed MYSELF". The statement stuck!!!! She got endorsement from everyone around her, but she went ahead to ABOVE ALL, OVER ALL, MOST IMPORTANTLY, endorse herself.

ZUMBA DANCE: THE ACCIDENT TURNED BIG BUSINESS

Ever heard about the Zumba Dance? Read this....

(Reuters) - Alberto Perez started out as a street performer and then an aerobics teacher in Colombia, making extra cash on the side teaching the wives of businessmen how to dance in nightclubs in his hometown, Cali.
Today, he stands at the center of the Zumba exercise craze, having helped transform Zumba Fitness, a private company, into a rapidly growing fitness empire with heavyweight investor backing.
"I'm not a businessman, but I knew this had the potential to be something special," said Perez, who along with two Colombian associates founded the Miami-based company.
Zumba, a Latin dance-inspired aerobic workout, has exploded from a Miami gym phenomenon to infomercial and DVD smash hit into a global craze with some 12 million people taking classes every week in at least 125 countries. Zumba Fitness now boasts being the largest branded fitness program in the world.
Started on a shoestring budget in a Miami garage nearly 11 years ago, Zumba Fitness now has more than 200 employees, and a pair of New York investment firms are betting the craze has staying power.
