A letter to Maria by Ogri Sarah Mathilda (@mathillss)

A tulip flower you are
Pink and lovely
Slim tender and at your peak of what will never go down but always up
A prime you are
And should throw your dice well
For men dicey and deceitful
They could be
The season is always friendly for hunting
So pray and work well, so you never end up a prey
Take a "boldy step " with courage and wisdom
Lazy not around nor depend solely for help all the time
For no one, no one can tell who foes are...
Shred not your petals with rays of a minty bulk
Stay focus and thrive hard as you row
Spread your roots solely on God's words
Holding your head high as the best you be in all
Time clicks
Time only will
Crown your efforts be futile be it great and glorious..
A letter to Maria

Converted but Unbroken Christians!

Converted but Unbroken Christians! These Christians are converted but they have refused to be broken of themselves to the Will of God! One example we have in the Bible is Jacob! Jacob always loved to do things His own way! Although, he was His covenant child, he still went on to deceive His brother and cheated him out of His right! Later in Jacob's life, God renamed him Israel, which means "he struggles with God." In fact, Jacob struggled with God his entire life, as many of us do. As he matured in faith, Jacob depended on God more and more. But the turning point for Jacob came after a dramatic, all-night wrestling match with God. In the end the Lord touched Jacob's hip and he was a broken man, but also a new man. From that day forward, Jacob was called Israel. And for the rest of his life he walked with a limp, demonstrating his dependence on the Lord. Jacob finally learned to give up control to God. Converted but unbroken Christians are workers of ...

Must-Have Conversations when Dating

As a dating or engaged couple, conversation probably comes easily. The two of you enjoy talking about just anything. Just about anything that is, except ugly disagreements. It doesn’t change much in marriage except there are more things to disagree about. You can’t run away from prickly conversations – for long. If anything, marriage accentuates the mild differences you have while dating. They can become serious disagreements once the initial excitement of new love becomes the comfort of secure love.

Must-have Conversation When Dating pt. 4 - Finances

Perhaps you are approaching marriage on a sound financial footing. You’ve finished your education, have been employed for several years, maybe even have some savings or own a house. Perhaps you are set – or so you think. But having enough money for a comfortable lifestyle is not all that finances in marriage is about. It’s also about power. It might not seem that way at first. The two of you might have every intention of sharing incomes completely. You certainly don’t see each other as people who will dictate how much money can be spent on a cup of coffee. But weird things can happen when money is merged. Old memories from our family of origin start to replay in our heads. You may agree that it’s fine if one spouse makes more money than the other. Then the primary wage earner sees the other spending his or her hard-earned cash on something like a NGN500 hair cut or a round of drinks at the club. One person’s necessity is another’s luxury. What if you’re not in the enviable pos...
