The count down has begun

Hooooohoooooo, merry belated Christmas BVs, am sure you all would be wondering why the long silence. Well that na gist for another day.

Anyways on 25th December 2015 as early as 5.30am, i put a call across to all my loved ones and i holla the hooohoooo merry Christmas to everyone ; you need to hear the excitment from the other end of the conversation.

Christmas is a wonderful period for sharing, showing love and being with loved ones. A lot of activities always accompany this period with a chilly weather if you stay in areas prone to harmattan here in Nigeria.

Churches organise Christmas drama and Carol nights with everyone dressing to the occasion (green, red and hold attires with varities of christmas head wares) This amongst others makes December a very unique period in the year. Aside the celebrations, it's also a time were a lot of people take out time to reflect on the outgoing year, their achievements, mistakes, lessons learnt and progress made.

Now my beloved readers today being the 30th December 2015, is a day to the end of 2015. Have you taken out time to reflect on the outgoing year or you are waiting for the usual "church" retreat before you take out time  to do the needful?

Well, as we begin the count down to 2016, take out time before 11.59pm 31st Dec 2015 to take a stock of the  year and appreciate God no matter where you are or what you have and thank him for being alife.

Happy count down darlyns. ....6.16pm 30th December 2015....keep countingggg *shines teeth*

Lessons from the life of an eagle.

Have you ever seen an eagle soaring round the sky? Well I bet most people would respond that they rarely see the eagle. The reason being that the eagle has a class of its own and it's admired by all. It also symbolises power, freedom and transcendence. They posses unique characteristics that we can learn from and these included

A. Vision: they have specially designed eyes for long distance focus and clarity. We must have vision about the future, which guided and leads us towards our personal goals.

B. Fearlessness: Eagles will never surrender to the size of strength of its prey. To be successful, we must be fearless and face out problems head on without giving in to depression or discouragement.

C. Tenancity: they take advantage of every storm that lesser birds fear and hide for cover for. When we are faced with lots of challenges, instead of hiding or running from it, let's face it head on as it leads us to rise to greater heights.

D. Eagles are flyers and do not mingle with pigeons. Dr Myles Munroe said pigeons grumble and complain all day long but the eagle fly and make less noise , wait it for opportunities to strike their next prey or glide with the current of the storm. In the face of difficulties, let's find opportunities in it.

E. Eagles do not eat dead meat but fresh meat from the prey it kills itself. To grow , spend time with people who are vibrant and libral in thinking and she's off low lifers around you.

F . Vitality: At the age of to, an eagle 'd physical body condition deteriorates fast, making it difficult for them to survive. Instead of giving in, the eagle retreats to a mountain top and over a period of 6 months, it knocks off it's been by banging it against a rock, plucking off it's feathers and shedding off it's body parts for newer and stronger ones to grow out. This process allows the eagle to live for another 30 to 4p years.

There are times we need to go on retreats and cut off from every noise and distractions and spend time meditating and seeking to know God's plan for our lives.

How placed the eagle for us to learn a lesson from them , so we don't have an excuse why we are not succeeding . As the year comes to an and, find the time to go on a retreat to refresh every thing about you before you enter the New year.
