I love this...







(A friend gave me this, i call it a 'title deed'. This pix reminds me of this verse in the bible. It says, "The path of the righteous is as a shining light, shining ever brighter until the perfect day" Can you see the light rays peeking through, very soon it will be shining so bright, no shadows will be seen. The difference is clear between the shining light and the one that is shining brighter and i want to be the brighter light and i want to be able to pay the price too.).

I know everyone is wondering “Has ‘Tisha’ gone fanatic on us?” well, its funny se, but this is me so bite me! I am good; there is peace and calm home and abroad. Every challenge meets its supply as need arises. I am growing, I think, still love God, I just don’t know how far I am willing to go.

I was at home when it came to me, you must be wondering what? My mind has been on the cross lately and I was wondering ‘The cross is my beginning!’ why shouldn’t I think of it and my mind was wondering about that other guy who was the first to partake of the grace and the favour of God.

It must have been a day like this one, maybe the sun was rising slowly or maybe not, whichever the case, three men had been nailed on a cross and sentenced to die. They knew what would happen to them. What was special about this crucifixion? They had a crowd of people following, many were following the man Jesus and they were saying stuff, people were saying the man ‘Jesus’ could do amazing things, he had raised the dead and opened blind eyes, unstopped deaf ears and cast out devils, he had fed thousands, in fact anyone that came across him got changed in one way or another.

Two men were with him on the cross and as they waited to die on the cross, one was scornful and one was humble. One scorned Jesus while the other spoke with him, even defended him. The one asked Jesus to save himself while the other rebuked him saying This man has done nothing deserving of death but we have sinned, we deserve this death on the cross”.

Guess what? The man wasn’t expecting to receive anything, he just knew that he deserved to die but Jesus was innocent and he declared it with his mouth. What did Jesus say? He turned and looked at him and said, “Today you will be with me in paradise”. 

I have always wondered what the guy said that separated him from the other guy who obviously went to hell that day because he wouldn’t make right choices. He saw Jesus and rejected him while the other guy by his words was saved (speak right words based on the word of God always no matter what you see)
Well, Romans 10:17 hadn’t been written yet but this man confessed that Jesus was Lord and that he was an innocent man dying on the cross while the robbers were deserving of death. This man asked Jesus for help and Jesus granted him passage to heaven just like that. It is even now I see the mercies of God so clearly. This man wasn’t a ‘goodie goodie’ but howbeit his heart was in the right place, he could receive from Jesus…

Guess what? When Jesus said he would be with him in paradise today he believed. I choose to have the heart that this man had and to believe Jesus no matter what He says and not be afraid to ask cos Jesus is so good he would look beyond this man’s criminal act and invite him to paradise on the day this robber was fortunate to be crucified next to Christ. 

Favour just aint fair…

Hi y'll

i made me be honest and ...

interesting too...
 i wasn't going to blog about this on my open blog but i decided to... cos i have the guts to live my best life everyday so read gutsy abi, lol I Believe...

Just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
 (me and who for God's sake, i never argue, i think that is totally fake but how do you learn something you have not learned up till now) 

 And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.
(i don't want to make any comparisons, my sister believes that you have the worst arguements with the ones you love; a sign of passion (hmmm! my sis is barely a teenager o) you don't fight at all and she believes that there is manipulation going on somehow, i believe her, i don't know why) I Believe...

We don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. 
 (tisha and d-gal; never knew her, selfish 'binch') I Believe..

No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
  (boomboom n tisha) I Believe...

True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.. The same goes for true love.
 (liza2k n tisha) I Believe..

You can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
(trust the wrong person, but you don't have to hurt forever, you can let go and let GOD) I Believe...

That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
(not on God's timetable, sha, His time is best if you have hind sight, yeah if u can see the end from the beginning...) I Believe...

You should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
(like i could ever do that, i touch the people i am close to, forever making contact with them, hugs, touch, whatever meen 'blush', i don't know if i blush again, i think i am too jaded but then again...) I Believe...

You can keep going long after you think you can't.
  (His grace is sufficient, and He is always there, aside from him i think i would have fallen apart in 2000... but then He always has a plan Hmmmph! now just for me to shift and align with His plans) I Believe...,

 We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
(we can decide what we need to do and live with it joyfully) I Believe...

Either you control your attitude or it controls you.
(this is the hardest i have had to fight to maintain a good attitude, the month of july and God is proud of me, i am proud of me too 'smile' though not at all times, i nearly lost it many times because i can be mouthy!) I Believe...

Money is a lousy way of keeping score.
(i am a dangerous billionaire, for real! i mean really cleanly rich (as opposed to filthy rich, lol)) I Believe...

My best friend and I, can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.
(The Holy ghost, i am not that close to any human being right now, Now if i can just discipline myself to spend time with Him consistently... 'make me' Lord i pray as in not force me o! just give me the right desires!) I Believe...

Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up. (yep, i have had ravens feed me severally and people i expect to support me stab in the back so it just underlines the fact that the heart of man is desperately wicked; it just matter who is controlling the Man's/Woman's heart, and women did me more harm than men... so its not like i am biased against men ...or women for that matter, i just let them be (sigh!)) I Believe... 


Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
(oops, i think i am mature sha, no one will convince otherwise, i am teachable sha in many things) I Believe..

It isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others. sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
(forgave myself before i dated my ex, dante laughed at this) I Believe....

No matter how badly your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
(you can always pick yourself up and make yourself happy and i have never really being heart-broken anyway, my FB profile calls it "careful heart" (i am 007, the female version, the one that gets away time and again)) I Believe...

Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but. we are responsible for who we become.
(The world will know that someone came and made her mark in the sands of time which is some 60-70 years away) I Believe...

Two people can look at the same thing and see something totally different.
(don't try me, i can paint nine different pictures from one scenario) I Believe...

Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
(some good and some bad, i want to be the good influence in other peoples lives, overcome evil and be the good, no matter how difficult it seems) I Believe...

Even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.
(That's me, the one who the devil can't get, always willing to give a helping hand, my alter ego has been trying to make me a little harder and a little nasty so people cannot take advantage of me but i just don't give up, i went for a job interview and said i was resilient in my soft voice, they don't , know the half of it) I Believe...

Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
(I will live life with passion and make my world know that i am around and called to serve and unstoppable.) 

 I Believe... in you

(Yes thats me, i give people the hope that they can live again and have hope, Christ in me the hope of glory, you can be anything you want to be, the power is in your hands and on your tongue, never be satisfied with the ordinary) 

 Where is invisible? Tisha is back big time!
