A little sleep, A little slumber

By
Proverb 23:33 & 34, A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest
and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.

I got inspired to do this writeup this morning after a brief meditation and this was the first thing that came to mind. How have you all been? There have been too many bloodsheds in Nigeria of late. From the Presidential and governorship election to the Anambra Incident and the collapsed building in Lagos. May God Console every one who was involved in one way or the other.

We all know there is usually a trend of word, attitude or dance moves in Nigeria. But 'JI MASUN' and ' GBE BODY E' crack me up all the time and for the literal meaning too. JI MASUN to my understanding literally means 'WAKE UP, DON'T SLEEP' while the other means 'CARRY YOUR BODY'. Inasmuch as they both crack me up, I deduced something from both which was linked up to  A little sleep a little slumber.

While sleep so much when you are yet to see results, when even those with results aren't sleeping as much. if you must make a difference you must put in extra effort, more time and do things differently, do not relent and giving up is not even an option.




Thomas Edison made thousands of unsuccessful attempts before he invented the bulb. So much patient he had if you ask me. If he had given, maybe he won't be known for his invention and someone else would have gotten all the credit for it. He did things differently, he put in more effort and gave in more time and eventually, he got the result he wanted.

Ensure you don't leave any stone unturned when taking actions. What differentiates a man from another is his way of thinking, his approach, actions taken, time invested and of course results made.

Don't start by saying the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Take charge of your situation. Stay woke. Gbe body e. Ji! Masun.


Have a beautiful weekend!


Sending you love and light,
Linda.

How to cope in a Challenging situation

By
Hello everyone. I am aware it's been a minute here. I've been saddled with a lot of obligations, and juggling them all has proven challenging. Prioritising has been really difficult, but it's also crucial to strike a balance between work and personal life. I'm aware that having many obligations can sometimes make us feel completely overwhelmed, which is why I'll be sharing a few strategies that have helped me succeed in demanding circumstances.                               Identifying the Challenge Identifying the thing you refer to as the "challenge" is the initial coping strategy. Do you need to alter anything in your routine? Do you require a piece of equipment to make housework less stressful? Perhaps you need to prepare your meals for the upcoming week. Is it possible that you are becoming proficient in your current position and require a change of scenery?... Your ability to deal with or handle an issue improves as soon as you are able to define it.

My birthday Thanksgiving/ Thanksgiving Jar

By
 Hello friends, It's been a moment. Today is the 21st of May 2021, how amazing! Yesterday was so special to me, not only because several years ago on the 20th of May my joyful parents received a perfect gift from God but because looking back all I can see is the mighty hands of God. I got very heartwarming messages and I am eternally grateful for it. With our busy schedule taking out time to drop a message for me means I matter, and I truly appreciate you all. The previous year had its challenges but there is nothing as joyful as winning a war. I pray God shows up for you all amid the storm. I can't do without talking about the goodness of the mighty God. He is the reason I celebrated and was celebrated. All the glory belongs to him. To my immediate family My husband, Children, Mother, brothers, and sisters, you are the best thing after Jesus and I love you always. To my friends you all are special. I am grateful to have celebrated yesterday with you all. Every day of our lives

'Merry Christmas' or 'Lockdown Christmas'

By
While we are happy to be gradually free from the clutches of the Pandemic. Seems like some will be having a Lockdown Christmas.  If using a nose mask and obeying the directives of curbing the Pandemic is important, I do not understand why some still act like it doesn't matter. It's just a day to Christmas and while we will be going out, that's if your state permits to celebrate, let's don't forget we have to be responsible for our actions.  I feel like I experienced the Christmas celebration at its peak in childhood. The atmosphere doesn't feel the same. The earth is so polluted with evil and to this day I no longer want to hear the news because of the strange things that are been reported. Try and feed your thoughts with only positive things, things that are soul, body, and spirit-lifting. Don't stop being you and be around the people you care about and who care about you too. I pray that this season of Christmas brings you joy, laughter, and all the happin
