No one cares

Ever notice how certain peoples walk change once they have money or have graduated?
Lol is it just me or some people just start acting like they have the cure for cancer once they get admitted into a certain fraternity?

Oh my soul calm down. Aint nobody give a damn really. Not we, not the cowntry and definitely not the grave we are all destined for. All that paper, whether qualification, position or money you gone leave behind.

You gone go to the same size grave as the person without! Let me set all those who do not have any of the above and constantly feel marginalized by the ones who do, by using three simple words.         " THEY AINT SH*T"

If you "know" me you will appreciate and laugh at how I said the above. Lighten up and do not take this life thing so seriously. None of us are going to make it out alive. Position, qualification or money it all don't mean anything.

Honey even the elaborate tombstone that they build upon your departure, you will never see. Eventually that too is going to be swept away by the winds of time and it will be no more. Greater cities and buildings have been erected before, the ground swallowed them too, never to become even a memory. It's as if they never existed! If that is the case lol did they really exist then?

Richer people have lived, with stones of far much more value than we could ever imagined. Never to be heard of again, as if they were never born or had what they thought they had. That too, some were buried with their treasures because they loved them so much, guess what? they both evaporated to whence they came from..dust.

We look at the world today and the things we have and think we have made it!!!! We are great, funny hahahahaha look at the remnants of other civilizations like the Greek, Egyptians, Mayans etc did they also not feel like we do once upon a time? So please calm down, there has been greater. There is nothing new here, what is innovation and groundbreaking to us now was the same for them in the past and uhm will be the exact same for the future.

What is left now? Fragments of what those who are convinced they have an idea of, try to piece together in vain. They too cannot figure it out, all they can do is try because even that is futile. There will come  time when the Pyramids and Castles will be just a myth.

Even if a picture would somehow make it, the vegetation would also have changed it would be impossible to pinpoint. That awkward moment when thousands of years into the future, someone finds a picture of the pyramids but now where there was a dessert, there is an ocean hahahaha and where there was an ocean there's a jungle?

 At the end of it all, no one really cares. You are here today, we are all going someday and it will all be in vain.

With that said aint nobody saying do not work hard, because a man will eat by the sweat off his own brow. So if you want to be fed work. Do your work to the best of your abilities, but align your thoughts and spirit with the possibility of a place where you will arrive at with no end.

Do not fall short if you get there only to find you thought this was it! and it's lit! Play around and be the only one hating from outside because you cannot get in.

!!

Today I found myself having to check someone at work who just got trigger happy with a certain punctuation mark.

We clearly did not have the same grammar lessons and plus where do you get off writing the words "I instructed you" and then use two exclamation marks on top o' dat?

Do you see how quickly that went from a instruction to a command? Just by the over use of a symbol which I am starting to doubt most people actually don't  know what its for.

I threw caution to the wind and replied:
"Word to the wise, tread lightly with your use of exclamation marks"

Where some of us are concerned please do not only count your words before you spew them out, but also re-check them and their context before you type them okay? Okay! bye.

MOB JUSTICE

So a guy I know just got beaten up by a community.
Here I am thinking brother if you were not going to look for no job in that place then why did you go? If you were not going so far from home to improve the lives of your children and yours then why go? Your malicious intentions were met with strong opposition.

Some people create their own storms and cry when it rains. Get naked and dance in the rain. People need to take account of their actions.

You reap what you sow. We pray every day for that person who got a beating. Is it divine intervention? Why do we always assume God answers prayers in glitter and clouds.

God is God he will show us what he wants to show us how he wants to show us. Who are we to decide how or when God intervened. Thank You Lord for your guidance, you know I am not perfect.

Help us to listen to and you and allow ourselves to be led by you. The pursuit of worldly pleasure I am starting to see results in destruction. Let us not be worried about what we are going to eat, where are we going to live, what are we going to wear. You provide all these things for us and more.

To God be the Glory
Forever

Amen

Keep your eye on the prize

A Blog is a great way to write down exactly how you feel at the moment you feel it, depending on the circumstances afforded to you to actually write it down.
In between other things like parenting,relationships, working,commuting,eating,reading,walking, just living.
Hey just a thought. It is good however to try write and tell your own story. Letting others tell it for you is dangerous.

Look at all the documentaries or movies about people. Those are usually on another personal personal reflections of an encounter whether frequent,casual or singular but never constant than would be for the real author.

Listen we never really know what really happened or what really happens. Just because you see someone everyday does not mean you know that person. Even living in the same house, under the same roof, sharing the room do you not know that person.

So at the end of the day its about living your best life, not judging or not appreciating your own pot. True story, on Sunday we went to the car wash with my mom at Shell garage N4, Mataffin, ok the GALITOS there is banging!!!!

The peri-peri chicken is outta of this world just like the one in Galitos Mbombela CBD!!! The Grove must pick up their socks. Ok ok enough about the chicken even though it kills me to stop talking about it yo! That chicken is LIT like the one from Lekazi if people from Lekazi read this they will remind me what its called. Hint its the best Chicken Dust tjo! That chicken dust from Lekazi is soo good it deserves its own story line lol.

Hahahaha anyway back to the story my mom could only get us the special. The special is pap and chicken. So the guy sitting next to us ordered Pap, Chicken and spinach. My soul you should have seen my eye. I was starring at that spinach. Wishing it could jump into my plate lol or order it myself with my last R20 hahahahaha just because I took my eyes off my plate.

My conscious scolded me. I turned away and looked at my plate with more appreciation. The fact that I was downing my food with a costly beverage made it go down even smoother. If I had kept my eyes on his plate I would not have appreciated mine more and got full. What was most likely going to happen was flies were going mate over my plate, just like it does in most peoples lives.

Seeking the Kingdom of God

For this reason I kneel before the Father... I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What's the greatest thing we can do to bless those we love in Christ Jesus? What is the most helpful thing we can do when a brother or sister in Christ, or even a whole congregation of God's people is facing a major challenge from the Evil One? What is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children or our parents as they seek to live for Jesus today? The apostle Paul just showed us. We can ask God to strengthen his people with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in their inner being. Then we can let them know that we have prayed this for them, and that we will continue to pray it until their storm is past.

My Prayer...

Gracious God and Almighty Father, please bless... (mention several people specifically by name as you pray) with your power and presence through the Holy Spirit. I will continue to do all I can to encourage and strengthen them, but I believe that they need your Spirit's power far more than anything I could do for them. Thank you for hearing my prayer in Jesus' name. Amen.

verse of the day

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

Aluta Continua!

"Many of our own people here in this country do not ask about computers, telephones and television sets. They ask - when will we get a road to our village. "
-Thabo Mbeki

World Stage

One of the biggest ill's of our society is parents not respecting,supporting or motivating their children. Instead they want to impose and force you to be or do something they want. For some reason it seems never to be about you but its always about them. 

Take pregnancy for example, parents will put on a show and host massive pity parties,forgetting that its not just happening to them alone but also the one who is pregnant or has impregnated. You get alienated from your situation and take the role of the passive spectator as your own life unravels before your very eyes. I refuse to be that parent, I'm sorry. 

Don't get me wrong,its noble that our parents bend over backwards for us to get somewhere,but its a double edged sword. I sometimes feel like that's where they wanted to be so they live vicariously through us all under the farce of "we want better for you than what we had". What is better? 

Better is support and encouragement, better is listening to the child more than you shout or talk to them, better is not forcing your child to be a Doctor just because you fell short on becoming one, better is understanding that everyone has special gifts and that formal education will not necessarily be harmonius with those gifts and lastly better is identifying your childs potential and helping them to maximize it.

Starlight

Dear Langa 
There are honestly days, everyday where mommy does not want to leave the bed. These days happen almost more times than one cares to count where mommy chokes at the thought of waking up and doing the same thing or trying something again and it fails! 

If the moon could count how many stars it lost just for us to make a wish. If it could not be content with how many illuminate and share its company then I guess we will be fine. 
Life is what it is, whatever that is no one knows and whoever has thought they have is much like it, enigmatic. 
One day you will go through this and know what I was saying for you sing the song of my heart and beat the drum of my beat. listen! be weary of people. Boys will not assist you and friends will mislead you. Be strong dear girl, hold your head high and rise with the sun each day granted to you . 

The brightest star is your guardian, it's rays will give you strength. Hold on tight to your dreams my child, they too like your breaths are valid. Hours turned into days into 40 weeks then months before we knew it years. We are who God says we are, know him and fear him He is the end all and be all. Had it not been for him we would not have met. He would not have formed you the way you manifested. Everything about you Is you and that's what makes you,you. Long after we are gone people will try and figure out who we were ,what we meant and our thoughts. They will never know. Unless it's performative they will never figure it out. We will transcend my dear, into time, back, now and always. Keep these words in your heart child, be weary of friends, be distant from foes, turn away from frivolous pursuits of your gifts and charms. Keep them safe. 

I bestow the name "Starlight" your knight and brother bellowed. She's a star mommy he whispered in an euphoric daze at you sharing my company and illuminating my face. You were the best guest, always a lady. Thanks for your strength oh  my!
