Checks and Balances

-

Hello there,

How are you? 🌝

How has December🎄 been at your end?

💼 

Some time ago, we spoke about workplace liars. 

Recently, I goofed.

Let me give an account of how.

A superior at work needed to convey a delicate message to a colleague and chose me as her mouthpiece. She didn't want to pick on the colleague in question so needed an incognito.

Well, having heard the statement, I decided to do something about the information disclosed. 

The following day, I got talking with another colleague with whom I narrated the previous day's occurrence, and boom, He asked a pertinent question. "Faith, wasn't that you being untruthful?"

I shrugged it off as it hadn't occurred to me that I had done something unjust. However, the soft nudge in my heart didn't let me be.

I quietly spoke to Abba who always hears.

Have you ever been in such a position? What did you do?

Do you have people or anyone who can serve as checks and balances around you? More so, how sensitive are you?


If you find yourself in such a situation, can you please not gloat and rather, confide in the ready arms of Abba? 

Remember, we won't continue to sin 'cause grace doth abide.


May God help us all.


Song Suggestion: Homeward By Benjamin Hastings.


Here's a sprinkle of love, joy, and everything in between, 

Faith, for the Royal Rubies.

    Bless you for this piece. Everywhere I go, God has helped me to find a community of believers to check and balance my trivial excesses.

    It is an advice I would give to anyone.

    God bless your friend, Faith.

Growing Up: A Scam

Hiya! A pleasant day it is, ain't it? How has it been at your end? I hope you still remember to smile and cut yourself some slack? Today's topic resonates with many of us. Very recently, I clocked a year. Prior to this, I'd always believed growing up to be a scam. I'm glad to point out that this is quietly changing. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse society for making demands of me before I was prepared. I was told to go to school and gain an education. All glory to God, I passed through the primary, secondary and the so-much talked about tertiary institution. Along the way, I was told when I grow up, the jigsaw puzzle would somehow fit. Well, I have no words for this. Maybe 'cause I'm still growing. All I have is a certain level of distrust against the system. Reasonably, I'm discovering that growing up is an opportunity to become relevant and make an impact in the scheme of things . We were such in a haste to grow up and we had no inkling that we were,

3, 2, 1. . . Blast off ! Welcome to the second half of 2020. Forgive my delay in reaching out. However, I trust you've been in good health. When the wait lengthens, When all you feel is regression, I hope you remember Him who makes the wait remarkable. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This period has been filled with unforeseen delays. Several weddings and events were postponed. Some organizations took to the social web in order to keep relevant. Kudos to them. Church halls reverberated with long silence. Classrooms weren't left out as they piled up cobwebs. Oh my, libraries were also deserted. Recreational parks hungered for some merriment. Cinema houses suffered abandonment. Alas, many homes now have steady occupants. During this period, some took out time to develop themselves. Others were not afforded such an initiative. Then we realized that in spite of the events (and what we made of them), time still marched on. Even while we wa

Shedding!

The fat we so feared, has finally consumed us. We deprived our bodies of our beauty sleep so we jogged tirelessly. We signed up for several fat-burning exercises. We drank different varieties of homemade and industrial concoctions in the name of slimming tea. We said an emphatic NO to continental dishes that assaulted not just our eyes but also our taste buds. We shut our tummies from the desperate cravings for chocolate and red velvet cakes. We violently opposed the existence of mirrors. We fled and sidestepped the weighing scale. We succeeded in starving our bodies of vital nutrients in a bid to be perfect. We've lived like lions trapped in a cage. We ought to live life. Well, the good news is that the time has come to shed our inhibitions. The snake is unafraid to shed its skin. It does this shedding regularly to enable growth and to eliminate parasites that may have attached to its old skin. If a snake fails to shed, it dies! What fat has consumed us? How oft
