10 things

How una deyyyyyyyyy? Hope everyone had a lovely weekend... I must say my weekend was grand! I had the time of my life...This weekend I went out dancing with some friends and I must say whenever you hang with these friends, you can never be too sure what to expect. This outing was no different. I am really glad I went because I got to hear a number of things that sent shocks down my spine, got to experience an east coast-west coast beef, got to see certain people in a new way.

While trying to come up with my entry today, I decided it would be nice to put together 10 things I have learnt over the past 10 days. Before I delve into that, I need to wish a friend a happy birthday. Happy birthday JAM...May this additional year cause God to do something new in your life that would astound man...May His light continue to shine upon you and may you never dim. I pray He gives you the grace to remain the virtuous woman He has made you to be and in a quiet time and a quiet place may God open the eyes of your heart so that you can experience Him first hand. May He shower you with love that knows no bounds and when you call His name may He forever be present to answer. Amen. I miss our friendship but I understand more than ever that in life there comes a time when we have to make decisions and though the world may not understand them, our heart does and that's what matters.

So 10 things I learnt in the past ten days
1. Two wrongs will never make a right. No matter how justified you think you are, vengeance is not yours but the Lord's.
2. Every friend has a motive.
3. Never take for granted idle talk for some speak their hearts at those times.
4. Friendship is really about trust. There comes a time when each friendship is tested...pay great attention cause at such times your friendship is either validated or you get to know people for the snakes they are.
5. Perception equals reality. Though it doesn't necessarily mean the truth, most people make it the truth.
6. Be mindful of people that volunteer gist. Most times they'll gist about the roles others played, conveniently skipping theirs.
7. Capture each moment when they happen cause you might never get a second chance.
8. The fanciest bed doesn't always provide the most comfort.
9. When the bible says the heart of man (women & men) is wicked, it's soooo true
10. Learn to love and love to learn for your ability to accomplish the two, would put you high above many.

Some of these are things I've known for years but in the past three months, they've manifested themselves in various ways more than ever in the past 10 days. I think as a people it's healthy to take stock of our accomplishments, failures or things we've learnt each week...if you enter a new week without learning anything about yourself or others within the past week, I'd be tempted to say you haven't been paying close attention to your life as such you're impeding your own personal growth.
