I would end this month with lots of thanks giving because I believe lots of my prayers have been answered.
I have nothing much to say my dear brethren but to encourage you in the Lord that God answers prayers. . . . . He who begun the good works in you is faithful to bring it to completion.

Why do you think we end up marrying wrong people
I know there are as many self concluded answers to this question as there are people on the face of the earth, there are certain thing that happen to people that for real no one would understand I mean they just happen.
Things tend to just go wrong somewhere in the process and before we know it people are parting ways. However this does not stop us from looking for answers, and honestly someone out there why do people end up marrying wrong people? Anyway are there such people as wrong to marry?
What is it that our great grand parents to our parents did that we in this generation are not doing to keep our marriages alive and going, yet we have access to all the knowledge and modernazation that if you ask me should be making our lives much, much comfortable and enjoyable.
It tears my heart apart to go to such colourful weddings in which people have invested quite amounts of money then a few months down the line, the vows have suddenly stopped making sense and people just separate. Could it be that marriage, an institution that is so ordained and respected by God is not being taken seriously or do we need to put up a commision of enquiry to find out exactly what is it that people are not doing to keep a marriage? IF we did this will they be able to give us workable soluions?
It even kills me the more to see born again christians divorce at the highest rate in this modern world, could it be that we are trying to face lift (twist) the word of God that is there to guide us to fit into our lives or could it be that we have abandoned the fear of the Lord which principally is the begining of wisdom?
Could it be that we have stopped trusting on the Lord and now we are leaning on our own understanding?
A few weeks ago i got myself into an argument with a lady friend of mine who was trying to convince me to hide who I really am when I go for a first date with anyone and I thought this would be the most unjust thing i could do to myself leave alone the person i am meeting for the date. I believe it is who we trully are that would attract or send someone away? Now if I put on a show because my biological clock is ticking or there is what we call Clanical pressure or all your friends are married and you just need to get married, what might this result into? I think marrying a wrong person.
Think about it this way, your fake character will actually attract someone who may not be able to cope with the true you?
I pray to God to help me never to put up a show before any man, my principle still stands. I will keep laying me on the plata until I get one man who trully will love me for who I am and for who I am not . . . . becauce in marriage character change is not guarateed unfortunately.
As we try to understand where exactly the problems starts, by faith we move on and trust that God who knew us before and formed us in our mother's wombs and even predestined our lives will guide us by all means to meet the right people to get married to.

Life is a journey
I do not know about you but my life for sure is a journey and if we typically look at a journey let’s say by a vehicle there are those things or events that anyone traveling may come by and among others are punctures, potholes, bad weather, accidents, traffic police and wreck less drivers.
Puncture:
The wheels of a vehicle carry the body without which even if the engine is perfect you cannot move. In the same way our being only moves to the right purpose with a vision and a mission, without which you may be healthy, learned, good looking etc but may never quiet achieve so much. If your life has stalled for a while check on your wheels . . .
Portholes:
Portholes slows down a forward movement in a journey, when a driver comes by one they MUST always consciously slow down and or evade the hole without which anything can happen to the vehicle. In the same way we come by situations in life that slows us down that if we do not overcome may lead a negative impact to us. One must in always find a way of overcoming such hinderances in order to continue with their journey of life.
Bad weather:
Have you ever driven when it’s extremely hot or raining? When it hot the road becomes hazy and when it rains the road is not just unclear but also very slippery and this hinders the journey in a big way in that if the driver is not careful other things may just happen. I sometimes find myself in a very unpleasant circumstance that affects me mentality, physically, spiritually, socially. Now when this happens I must consciously know how to deal with it, find out why the issue that is making me so uncomfortable is even there in the first place? Could God be communicating to me or could he be teaching me a lesson in life and what would be the way out? Should I be holding on, keep trusting in him or is it something I should take action upon?
Accidents
Cause deaths or injury of both innocent and irresponsible travelers. Sometimes there are things we do not have control over but some we get into knowing very well the consequences. What kind of a traveler are you if I may ask, some people refuse to be responsible for their own lives while others try to follow the rules to the core so that they survive the journey to the finish. A life journey would be long/short and enjoyable BUT can also be very long/short and enduring depending on how you take your life as person.
Traffic police
They bring soberness and order on the roads. Well if you ask me the Holy Spirit would suit this position just perfectly, He is our help and our guide. Him who perfectly knows the mind of the father in heaven, ok I know someone will ask me how then does the spirit lead? I will answer to my knowledge best that some things can only be experienced by faith and cannot be taught or even easily explained in words. I have read in the bible and believed and I experience His leading in my life.
Wreck less drivers:
I call them the rude shocks of life that come to distort your peace of mind and smooth running of life. They are part of interference mostly unexpected that one way or another discourages us. However focus on to the finish, trust in the Lord always knowing that he is on your side. His plan is to give you a hope and a future, never to do you any harm.
So do you believe that your life is journey?
Revelation 21:6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
