At some point during this break when I wanted to surrender because my internship plans failed, my brother suggested I learn web design online. It seemed like a good idea because I planned going into programming. So, I took it upon myself to learn something new; dive into a whole new world of coding. Well, I'm proud to tell you that I can design a basic (static) website using HTML and some CSS ( I'm getting there small small o! ). Although I do feel as though I could’ve done and earned more, I’m not wasting any time on regrets. I’ve started making plans to advance in my career and as a person. If you want to succeed, you have to define what success means to you. Paint the big picture and start small but never lose sight of the big picture and settle for less. For me, success is becoming more and then giving more. To make an impact in lives... Ideas are big potentials hidden in the mind. Write them down, work on them, and evolve them. Consciously t...

It's really important to keep your doors locked. It's a very simple thing to do that could go a long way in preventing some intruders from getting in. It's so simple that we may tend to overlook it sometimes or probably forget. This was an experience I had recently, just this Tuesday actually. It's more of a testimony for me... It was late Tuesday night and I was home alone. My brothers had gone to church for the leaders' meeting and ought to have been back by 8:30-9pm.

Next thing I knew, someone tried to open the back door without knocking. I assumed it was my brother (we like to use the back door) and I ran for the door to welcome them. But on second thought, I decided to ask 'Who's there?'. There was no response rather I heard footstep...

I used to think that the book of Lamentations was all sad… I used to think that the book of the Songs of Solomon (Song of Songs) was a no-no… I’m actually beginning to see the Old Testament from a whole new light. I’ve been doing a study of the Bible for myself –digging deep- because I got tired of having someone tell me ‘WOW-ing stories and stuff’ from the Bible. I wanted to know it for myself… Why else would I have a Bible?! It’s about God’s love for His people. His plan for our savior Jesus and us… intricately woven into every chapter of the masterpiece ‘stories’ of the Bible; told of in the Old Testament, fulfilled in the New and spilling over through the years into today and forever. As I read Lamentations from the Message Translation, it felt like pure poetry, pure suffering yet pure life and hope. The book of the Song of Songs actually took me by surprise (I read it all through in one sitting… no breaks!); highlighting the purity and passion of ...
