Call Jesus

You’re a faithful Christian but your life is troubled so much that people around you doubt your faith.
Cry no more! Wipe your tears and read this story – 
[One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake. So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
The disciples went and woke him, saying, Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.] Luke 8:22-25 NIV
Back to your story;
There is no doubt you’re sailing with Jesus in your life. But your progress is in danger because heavy and crippling problems have being hanging on your life despite your firm and strong beliefs.
Everyone goes through a wilderness experience but the intensity varies from one person to another. Yours could be one of those severe ones. So severe that people have started speculating about what you did or didn’t do, to attract the suffering you’re passing through. You may have been in that storm for so long you barely remember the pleasure of a calm life.
Is the “Jesus and disciples-sailing on the same boat-on stormy lake” situation replaying in your life?
Yes.
What’s the solution?
Call the master.
The truth is you’ve been calling him since your troubles began. Maybe a different approach is all you need.
Figure yourself out on the boat with other disciples on that historical day, imagine the panic written all-over your faces and the desperation draining your energy; now, run to Jesus and explain your situation (replace the drowning story with your story). IMPORTANT NOTE: Use optimistic words not pessimistic for your words tell on your faith level.
A call of desperation will not go unanswered, he is LORD and he cares.

Help The Boy Child; Heal The Society

...........The midwife announces, "it's indeed a girl!" Everyone within earshot wears an irresistible smile and hearts warm up to welcome yet another little woman into the world. Her role in the universe is clearly cut out , and she starts training in readiness for her mission as soon as her hands are strong enough to hold something. Her first birthday present is a beautiful doll, which gives her a countenance similar to the one mama had when she(the little girl) checked into the world. She has her first time experience of sacrifice when she shoves aside her plate of food, to take care of the new found love. Today she's training her (the doll) how to sit, tomorrow she is plaiting her hair, the other day she's carrying her on her back soothing her to sleep. Did I forget that mama is now being instructed to serve food for two? Though soon she'll start preparing meals for her child (doll) and doing her laundry as well. As her obsession with do...

Importance of Introducing Personal Finance To 5 Year Olds

I would have loved to fly with a headline like ‘Instilling Positive Work Ethics In 5 Year Olds’, but I was afraid millennials and generation Zs will shrug the post off, screaming ‘child labor!' Thus the more subtle title 'Importance of Introducing Personal Finance To 5 Year Olds'. Actually, the two concepts are like a single coin, I have simply favored one side over the other. Now that my post has escaped the trash bin and I got the attention of fellow millennials and our younger siblings, let me address the entire public. My name (Wawira – someone who works) has kinda haunted me my entire life. Work has its way with me. It has this powerful force that keeps pulling me towards it. So I don’t recall when I started working.  But I remember in traces when I was still very young, I used to bite off more than I could chew quite often, which always resulted in frustration. Nevertheless, I never enjoyed resting until I completed what I FELT needed to be done. While growi...

Fed Up With Promiscuous HEs? Don’t Blame Biology, Query Socialization

In some remote village at the heart of Africa’s east gate, a heavily expectant woman checks-in at the health center . Her time is due and her agony throws the clinic into a commotion. Moments later, she gifts the world two adorable little humans. It’s a boy and a girl, the midwife exclaims in joy, wiping off drops of sweat from her forehead. Mom and dad are so excited; Mary and Martin will be their names, they agree amid sobs and tears of joy. Five years later, Mary has been accustomed to sticking around mama whenever she is at home, observing her closely as she performs the household duties. Once in a while mama throws some counsel at Mary; it may not make much sense at her tender age but her soft brain is absorbing every word of wisdom leaving mama’s mouth. All the while, Martin has learn ed to abide by his strict time budget; on the to-do-list are three special activities – play-eat-sleep, which the young lad observes religiously without fail. Mary has similar tasks ...
