Haters

Name calling is cowardly in my view
People are calling my people names
Just becoz they're from down here
Yeah, things are messed up but that
doesn't warrant calling a nation by nasty names
Just becoz we act rationally and you don't understand us
Doesn't mean we need a name
FYI we are rational and very sane at that
Call it pride
I call it a gift
We're not a violent nation
Yeah we could all take to the streets
And start a war
But what would that change
We respect each other
No matter what happens
We don't just kill for the sake of survival
We don't just kill just becoz someone is wrong
We don't just shout for attention
We act rationally
What makes sense to us won't make sense to you
You've never been in our shoes
Don't judge each of us by what happens to the country
Don't judge the nation becoz of one person
There is a reason for all of this
Look around you and see how many Zimbos are next to you
We love life to the extent of preserving it
Not destroying it hoping for better for the next guy
We believe in better for us
We are very much adaptable
In fact I can almost bet we're the only ones who can surive anywhere on erath
Coz we've got that ingenuity
We ask, so what next
So what will happen if I do this?
Will it benefit me for long term?
Will my childeren be happy about the decison I take today?
Does it make sense?
We never ask 'what will the next person say?'
Or ' what will they think about me?'
Call us selfish or self centered
But we'll be around for a longer time than most of these haters
We're survivers
We're a chosen people

We're just that little notch above the avarage person
Don't hate us for that.

Over the edge/wedge/verge/age......??!!??

Risk

I think ‘twas during study that I really got to think about risk
To win big you’ve gotta risk big...
Punt less and the odds for you are that much less...
OR IS IT?

Relativity comes into play for someone’s who lives life on the edge
That adrenalin rush is actually is a signal that they’re alive
It’s not a rush
It’s their pulse
They’ve laid aside the measure
They have jack idea how much is at stake
They have a pretty idea what’s there for the taking
So soldier on is what they do

It’s second nature you may say
It came naturally
We’re not all born with that need for a rush all the time
A rush’s gotta be once in a while
They’ll soon wear out
Have they?
Look when they started
Look where they’re now at

Life on the edge
The edge of the world?
The edge of life?
That edge
Live life on the edge
That way you’ll be all over the globe
There’s no way you’ll fall off the globe
The least that’ll happen is you’ll discover there’s more on the other side

Oh, really??

I surprise myself at times
Actually I'm doing that quite a lot nowadays
I just write , write, write.......
Seems I have a lotta time on my hands
Odd?
Not really, but when u look where m at, it is odd
I'm meant to be doing things to make ends meet
Coz I'm a Zimbo life's meant to be tough
Actually for me it's a bit depressing thinking about such stuff
I live and let live
I don't expect much or demand much
BUT I still have a standard
That standard is very simple actually
Smile
All else will fall into place
It's gotta
Coz with a smile in Zim
Someone will ask you wat's up whether they intended to or not
It's a bit unusual for a smile to just crop up
You've gotta be happy about something to be able to smile let alone laugh
NO!!!!!!!!!!
It's not that depressing down here
Just that smiles get fewer the more you think about that next dollar
So when you smile you get an opportunity to offload on someone
If not, then for a moment your focus isn't on that puzzle
But just enjoying that relaxation of face and mind

Smile- the sun's still up!

Spice it Up!

A touch
A glimpse
A thought
A smile
A laugh
A moment
A gesture

Reflection on these has warmth to it
Though just a moment
A lifetime may be changed
Though a just a smile
A soul may once again hope
Tough just a laugh
The clouds may just all disappear
Though just a glimpse
Faith may still find a place to stay
Though just a touch
A heart may once again love
Obviously it will never be JUST a getsure

So….
Just smile!
You may end up laughing....in the end conversing

Intrepid Trepidation

These two words were bothering me last night.

Trepidation:
Bold
Fearless
Brave
Courageous
Daring
Heroic
Audacious

Intrepid:
Fear
Anxiety
Unease
Nervousness
Apprehension
Consternation
Concern

Conquering uncharted frontiers
Actually for me it’s frontiers I have not charted, ever
And I wouldn’t say it’s conquering
Discovering is more like it
I lay awake for some time

I’m not good with receiving
I get intensely overwhelmed
I have to do something back
I feel indebted
I’m better with giving

I never give to get something back
I give to show I care
I give to help out
I give because that I can do, without much effort, mostly
I’m no philanthropist, though

Now I’m at a point where all I can give back is love
You may say that’s enough
But that I can give effortlessly as well
In most cases, save this one - strangely
Yes, I still can give it, and then those words come in

I’ve been bestowed with so much
“To whom much is given”
I fall in that category, actually, we all do
Somehow this receipt is an overflow
My cup overflows.

I receive.

Comment

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I surprise myself at times
I try a lot to control my emotions and seems last post I didn't do it so well
I failed, I think

The emotional bit
Somehow I accepted that some time back
But now when I look at it
Maybe I'm not emotional
I may be very extraverted in the quiet confusing sort of way

Last post I was looking at life from one viewpoint
An acute angle if i may say so myself

Ah well,
C'est moi....

Donno
But I still do cry.

Now

Life's a roller coaster

Life's throwing me lemons & I'm making lemonade.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Was getting a bit muddled up blogging not what I wanted and calling it the wrong names
Still I won’t recall/retract the posts
I’ll let those thoughts be
Shows I’m normal after all

This is the real deal going on
Bumped into this chap by someone else’s making
So I didn’t bump into him
U think?
Actually, I did
Sort of knocked him down and here I am apologising
But still, I’m not convinced it’s all becoz of me
The fall, that is

Expliquer…….
Here goes

I’m scared to go deep into a lot of things
Except for one thing
The Bible
This could be due to what I know
What I don’t know
What I like
Right & wrong
Pain
Loss

In the Bible I cannot lose ANYTHING
Maybe that’s why this fella’s putting up such a fight
I fight with this fella most of the times
Sometimes directly or he sends his minions
All the same I fight with him much
It’s all becoz he cannot and won’t be my friend unless he changes
Donno about him changing coz apparently he was like that from the beginning
From the very beginning
Before Adam and Eve
I’m sure now u know this guy I’m talking about

So how did this current battle get so intense to deserve a post?
It’s just made me that stronger
And it was being me mad about what was being said of Him
We all need to be careful when we start pointing fingers
More so when we point them at Our Maker

The words ‘fear the Lord’
Those words
Many people take them loosely
So loosely they start challenging Him

Have they not read that His ways are not ours
Nor our thoughts His
No one has risen to Job’s question
‘Who can hinder Him?’
Who can search his mind?
Who knows His will?

I remember coming across this title
The Great Controversy
The title’s catchy
I wanted to read it some time
Little did I know that’d be the starting point of my battle
I’m not scared to say the truth
I’m trusting Him
I’ve got everything to lose but I’ve got everything to gain
The condition
I must loose all
I’m ready

Sin is nature
It’s a decision
Nonetheless, only those He calls can have a relationship with Him
Judgement
We do it a lot
If not daily
It has it’s repercussions
There’s the accuser o the brethren
Now he’s making some people accuse their Maker

Yes, He made things the way they are
Even sin
Just becoz there’s sin and suffering shouldn’t then mean He’s at fault
Who are you to critique His design?
Worse u don’t even know the whole picture
Let alone appreciate the intricacy of the design
We do not see the full design yet we’ve concluded
We’re right
He’s wrong
But He loves us still?
COME ON!!!!!

Contradicting self just so that we remain right?
Right in the world’s sight
Since when should Christians be measured by the world’s standard
What happened to all this stuff-
I’m not of this world?
We live in the world but are not of the world
I’m a new creation

Let’s be real for once
How can we struggle to please two kings and call ourselves Christian?
I may sound judgemental but this is fact
Self is a king
Ask Paul
He struggled with his self
He was at war
CONSTANTLY
BUT
He knew in whom he had put his trust
He knew there was a prize at the end of it all
He knew the conditions of winning
He didn’t pretend he understood
He knew the whole deal
Maybe, just maybe, we don’t know the whole deal

Then if we don’t
Here’s what we should do
Go back to the basics
Don’t just adopt for the sake of having an identity
There’s just one identity we should be concerned about
Our face in Christ

It’s no wonder there’s a denomination with Bible believers in their name
We stand to loose everything for no reason
Gaining the world ain’t what we were made for
It is but a short stay here and He’s made it worth the while
Pray on your eyes of the spirit to be opened
Take the time to read Job, James, Romans and Revelation
They’re no that long and with prayer
You will get the sort of discernment that’s got me into this battle
It’s exhilarating the knowledge you will gain
Try it.
I’m hooked!

The Lord “Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?”
Job: Truly is not my help in me? For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.

Awesome!!

Here's the deal
Was thinking of changing my blog title
Could have been somehow I thought it sounded like a complaint
Then today I remember why I called it such
I won't change it

It's about my life
What I come across
What I feel
What I know
My opinion
My feelings
My notebook

My life story is amazing to me
I've got so much to share
There's so much life in my life
I've got life in abundance!!!

The tree of knowledge.....my next stop.

Perception

Unless I tell you
You remain with your view
Unless I explain
You believe it true

Unless you ask
Don't conclude

Perception
Virtual
Real
Opinion

Ponder over these
Always ask

Things don't always go the way they've always gone

30!!! and loving it

So I turned 30 today
Yep
Silently did so
I have grown and I love the way I’ve grown
I’m giving a shout out of praise
I wouldn’t have made it this far alone
The mystery of life slowly unfolds
I’m following closely and learning

I still have my fighting spirit
I still have this life
I still have knowledge
I won’t look for the fountain of youth
I’ve found the fountain of wisdom

IT”S ADVENTURE!!!

Adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That just about sums up my life.
Last posted a day before I went on study leave
That was 8 days from moving out on my own-technically
And a lot has happened.

I will tell what I can recall
I finally moved out on 11/06
Things then seemed very difficult
I almost went back home
My view is sometimes that much blinkered
I was depressed to some extent and I lost it when someone laughed at what I thought was my predicament
I guess those tears helped a lot coz I was on the sunny side the day after
I’m still on that sunny side.
The blinkers?
Gone!

I really don’t know what got a grip of me
False hopes and wrong expectations I figure
N way I’m back on top of my mountain and believe it or not
There’s no going down
Up is where I belong
I’ve got friends in high places and when I do cry out they kneel for me
I also do the same for them
We’re staying up here!!!!

The adventure?
I’ve never been away from home for more than a month out on my own
The longest was 3 weeks to swot for exams
I said ‘no thank you,’ to boarding school when I got the offer
Back then, I was scared somehow –the blending thing
I got over that, and what do u know…..
I’m a trend setter in some circles
That I also didn’t know until a while ago
I’m still growing and learning
Yeah, learning never ceases for as long as u’re breathing
Only if you allow it.

Malleable
A word I used to describe myself yesterday
Somehow I got a bit scared when I thought it through
Flexible is what I’ve always thought myself to be
But malleable?
Yes
That’s the only way the Creator can mould me into the vessel I should be
Digressing a bit.
Ok I’ll post separately n make more sense

I’ve just embarked on a very personal adventure
I hope to be writing of in good light in the near future
Personal indeed but I’ll blog about it anyway
Next post……..I almost went back home
My view is sometimes that much blinkered
