What Are You Doing With Today?

...what I am to be, I am now becoming. -Benjamin Franklin

My take: Today, right now, at this very moment we are molding our future, our existence by various activities or inactivity, resulting from things we have decided to do or not to do with today. What a powerful God given ability! An ability, that is our responsibility to use wisely if are going to make the most of our lives, and be all God wants us to be. In light of this truth, you might want to ask yourself; what am I doing right now, as it relates to the 'dream' I carry in my heart and the goals I have set out to accomplish?

Everyone wants to know what the future holds. This is good, but I think it is better that we desire more to know what potential lies in every day, and how best to use the opportunity each day brings to our advantage. For, the future we wake up to, is more often than not, the results/outcomes of what we have done with the day before.

A lot has been written and said about the value of a day... I believe a lot of us already know and appreciate the significance of a new day. Yet somehow, the tendency to let a day slip by remains a common occurrence... After all, we often think "there is always tomorrow". But here is the kicker, "No one is guaranteed tomorrow".

We all hope and dream of a better future. Needless to say, if all we do with today is hope and dream, all we'll get in the future is... You guessed it-"hopes and dreams". What you will become, is determined by what you do with your "today[s]". This day is very important in the overall scheme of things, so don't let it slip by...

May the Lord teach us to count our days and apply or hearts unto wisdom, now and always in Jesus name amen. {Psalm 90:12}

You can do all things through Christ that strengthens you! {Phil 4:13} Make your day count. And while at it, pray without ceasing {1 Thess 5:17}

THANK YOU!

It's the beginning of a new month and soon a new year... And as the year winds down by days, or as my children would say by "30 more sleeps", I feel the need... An unwavering longing in my heart, to say thank you to those who have impacted my life this year in a profound way.

First and foremost, a resounding thank you to God my father, In whom I live and move and have my being[Acts 17:28]. To whom I owe my all, the lover of my soul. "The God of my first love"[my first love]... my Elohim, my Redeemer and my friend.

To my husband...
My partner for life. For your love, sincerity, understanding, encouragement, and faithfulness. For being a role model to our "priceless gifts"; our beautiful and blessed children. For being a protector of my heart, and our home... My tireless fighter, my warrior, my angle eyes, my love...

To my parents. I am blessed to have come through you...

To my mother. The strongest woman I know... You personify true perseverance... Stretching the bounds of endurance to limits that I can't comprehend... Love you mom.

To my siblings; an extension of who I am. In ways I can't explain nor fully understand, you all make me want to be an agent of change. You are a source of constant inspiration...

To OG. My faithful friend for over 20 years. Through out this year you where there for me like you have always been...

To Belinda. For being a voice confirmation... And using your life to be a constant reminder to all, to be good steward of everything we are given by doing whatever He[God] says!

To Bridget. For being a sister, a friend and a well of inspiration.

To Tosan. For being there at defining moments in my life. One of which was March 10th 2009. YOU ARE A "GOD SENT".

To Martins. For teaching me about intercession and ministering to others on a whole new level.

To Ede. For being you. Girl you rock!!!!!

To Shola. For making your life a Bible for all to read. That inspires me a lot. I see Jesus in you... Sometimes with you I wonder... "Human or angel"? I'm... kind... of.... leaning towards angel. lol

To everyone who has visited my blog and to all who have left words of encouragement. You are appreciated. God bless you all.

As we all know, this is the last month of the year 2009. Instead of thinking of the things that did not work out the way we expected this year, or the events that have left sadness in our hearts, or a bitter taste in our mouths, Let's all make December a month of remembering with grateful hearts; all the good things that have happened in our lives from January till date.

Have a pleasant week!!!
