I do not see changes yet, but I believe and hope for changes. My health is deteriorating, but I am confident that God will quicken my body once again.
Our government is governing against our wishes, even after different votes and changing different political parties, yet there is no change. The economy is bad. Families are falling apart. Hatred towards others is increasing.
Faith keeps us grounded in hope and prayer. It sustains us, even while battling addictions. It's faith in Him. In Christ. Faith in Christ, the Son of God.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” — Hebrews 11:1
Faith means that things are not available yet, or there is no evidence that they'll be available, yet I keep living my life with the confidence that everything is alright!
The outrage after Chibok girls were kidnapped and what we have now after the children children were kidnapped in Oyo State is a sign that Nigerians has made peace with kidnapping or terro*ism.
There's nothing as unfortunate and quite dehumanizing as a life of dependence. Financial dependence, to be specific.
When I see people ask others for help, financial help, as a result of their inadequacy to provide for themselves, I feel a kind of emotion that is close to pity, but isn't pity.
I imagine the thoughts in their heads, the thoughts of how others will see them after asking for that help, the way they would suddenly be known as lazy for not taking care of themselves. It is sad and unfortunate.
There are people who are lazy, who do not want to do jobs, who do not save when they do get jobs, who live wastefully.
But what about unforeseen events? What about someone who hates to ask for help, suddenly starting to ask for help?
The unnecessary advice that comes from the would-be helper. The counseling. The snarling. The “You know it is hard to get money,” as if they don't know that it is hard to get money.
I think a life of dependence does not change people. It rather reveals them. If suddenly people start avoiding you and your presence irritates them, it just shows who they truly are.
Learn those things about their true character, and when you get better (if you do, as there is no certainty about change), do with them as you will. Either forgive how badly they treated you, show them how fleeting life is, or do otherwise with them.
Okay, this is hilarious. @charliekirk11 is a racist, who hid behind religion, to say outrageous things.
However, @RealCandaceO who I absolutely adored; her eloquence, her authenticity, seems to have achieved nothing convincing about her probe of the Kirk assassinations.
The Netflix deal, which @JodyChaseTN, seems quite possible at the rate that Candace is going.
