Every single day that I wake up, I ask myself "what am I going to do today to make me get more closer to my dream?" I try to think of what truly will take much of my time in the day..........
Sometimes, I have found myself very dissapointed, just because there are those moments when I fail to reach my desired outcomes.......But one thing I have always learned in those moments is to "Thank God that I am not where I used to be." To always remember that, even though I make my mountains of plans or goals to achieve, God always has a Better plan for me than I have for myself.
Today, when I sit down on my soft chairs in my room, someone would not even imagine that, it is the same Denis who slept on papyrus mat (popularly known as 1*11) for fifteen years of my life without having tasted how a mattress feels like to sleep on...One would not think that, I am the same Denis who spent 18 years, right from my childhood without reaching my capital city. When someone listens to me talk about my dreams, one wouldn't know that, some five years back, I only yearned to be able to acquire a bicycle and get married and nothing much beyond that.....
But today, when I see the big and beautiful things that I am having and those that I dream to have, it humbles me so much, because in that, am able to realise how God in His divine wisdom can change us for the better, how He can work His ways and transform your paradygm, how he can mold somebody for bigger things.....
and the only thing that you would need to do is to only believe Him that, In Him, All Things are Possible....
I am so Humbled and reminded of what a Changed man I am! God has surely changed me..... I remember something that I used to tell my classmates while at high school...that, "I left the village and came to the city, and when I leave the city, I will be traveling abroad..." Yeah......Sometimes I could wonder where I even got the guts to speak like that, but I could remember that, it's God trying to empower me to believe in myself and look at bigger things...... and also to remind me that, He's a God who Majors in the Impossibilities....and wants me to think "HIS WAY" only and not my own way..... and the more I got to think in the "GOD'S WAY", the more I got to change for the better....and today, I can Boldly say, "I AM A CHANGED MAN."
I decided to say to myself that, I will celebrate my life always and surely, it was hard to celebrate it, it was so hard to choose to be happy due to the multitude of challenges all around me.I kept saying it loud to myself that, I am happy and will choose to remain happy and slow, but surely, happiness begun unfolding each and everyday of my life.I choose happiness now each and every single day that passes bay and indeed, every day, I find reasons to smile and enjoy my life. It is the simple secret that I discovered.I found it real.You can have very hard time dealing with challenges if all you do is to magnify and get all amazed by how hard it is to get through it, But you can also Decide not to participate or get involved in any challenge be keeping yourself happy and looking up to the Lord to whom nothing is impossible.It's a choice I had to make and I keep enjoying its fruits each and everyday of my life.So, what will you choose? Is it happiness or Sadness???
What do you always see when you look at yourself in a mirror just like this? Many people see different things every time they look at themselves in their mirrors. Some see themselves as failures, others see themselves as being so Ugly, while others see their big eyes, others, their big heads and all sorts of negative things you can ever imagine.....and you know what, they might even be right about themselves basing on the standards that this world has set....everyday you wake up, you find a new description of beauty, a new definition of success, a totally different description of perfect body shape.....as a result, some struggle to become tiny, others struggle to become bigger, others are changing their skin colors and all kinds of acts you may not even imagine......Now, what if they turned those definitions the opposite way, say, from ugly to beautiful, failures to successful, and just think of all those negative things you can ever see on yourself and get the opposite positive side and tell me, How will you feel if you look at yourself basing on that positive side....Let me tell you, no one wants to identify with negativity. Just find your closest friend in a public place being beaten by the mob for theft, would you wanna say that, "Please, leave this guy, he's my friend!!" The answer is always NO, because, you may also end up being beaten..Tell me then, why look at yourself the negative side....I have made it a point to speak positively about myself and you know what? It feels good to say, I am the most handsome, am a very successful man, I am so intelligent, my body shape is the most perfect for me, I can do all things through Christ that gives me the strength....The truth is that, the best way we can look at ourselves in these mirrors is to view ourselves through the mirror of God in His word. Listen to this, in Him, I am more than a conqueror, I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I am His Child, I am a Co-Heir with Christ, I am redeemed, justified, glorified, forgiven, and I have all things that pertain to life and godliness and above all, I am Loved..... Let's identify with and look at ourselves through the right mirror of God in His word and close our ears from listening to the terrible descriptions from the outside because, our true nature is in God through Christ Jesus. When we embrace it, we'll love it.
In my sad moments, I chose to be happy....Hanging out with my pals and having great fun moments is what I do during those times. It's like after receiving a sad news, I just throw a party...Someone said, you cannot stop birds from flying over your head, but you can stop them from building thier nests on your head.....Yeah, those moments come, but, how do you get out as clean and beautiful and a Gold....The trick is just simple, you only need to chose to celebrate your life....In all things and all moments, just praise God and let him lead your life to celebrate and enjoy your everyday life. You don't wanna be all alone in those tough times, and for that, just get out and hangout with your close pals and yeah.....go and enjoy yourselves and have fun and I assure you, you'll not remember easily those tough moments.......what do you think??
