Life is a Temporary Assignment

Hello People

How are you doing?

Hope you are doing very well.

Special congratulations and million kisses in the air to Zuliat for winning the first giveaway. *Drum rolls and a round of applause*. I pray for very many more giveaways, God willing. Thank you so much Zuliat for reading and commenting fast. 

Thank you to everyone too. I appreciate your clicks and the resources it takes for you to type of this URL on every browser. I appreciate you very much and I am very grateful. 

Just so you know, I now try to write a post latest by Monday morning and schedule it for Tuesday. Is that good enough? Just in case I do not get to put it on my other social media accounts early enough, please watch this place guys. 

About 2 weeks ago, I felt like reciting the Prayer in Psam 23 and verse 4 really struck me. I wondered why at that time. So we are very clear, Psalm 23 verse 4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (English Standard Version). I just put it on my BBM status and continued living. Did you wonder why it had to be that verse too?

Anyway, some ladies and I were supposed to meet up last Saturday to pray for our friend who had been ill. I wrote asking for prayers for her in the last 2 posts because she was very ill. Immediately I got there, I was informed that my very dear friend had taken her steps into eternity on Friday afternoon. She battled having great faith for some time but God decided it was time to take her home.

Thinking in retrospect, I think Psalm 23:4 was supposed to comfort me. It now explains to me is that even though she was ill and in a lot of pain, God was right there directing, consoling and encouraging her before he finally decided she was no longer a perfect candidate for this very imperfect earth. Oh Lord, it really hurts to know. She was very young (she wasn’t even 30 yet), beautiful and full of grace. 

Question: Have I cried since Saturday Morning?

Answer: Yes, I have (Screams and sobs)

Question: Have I asked God why she fell ill in the first place or better still why do very bad things happen to very good people?

Answer: Yes, I have asked this and other questions too

But I have also looked at her life and heard words from a few people that knew her. 

I also remember phrases in Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren "Life is a test..." "Life is a trust..." "Life is a temporary assignment...". 

God entrusted us here on earth to do His will but it is just for a while. There is nothing permanent about living on earth people. Age either at 1 hour, 10 days, 27 weeks, 58 months, 72 years, 91 years or 120 years are time lines given to us by God to accomplish what He has sent us here to do. We are all programmed with a specified time, here now and gone later. Make the most of the time you have left.

Have a wonderful week people

Loads of hugs and kisses

Additional Information

All the ladies reading this blog, where will you be December 5, 2016 from 8am to 5pm? 

Did I hear you say Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island? Yay!!! You got it very right. 

Can you just keep this date, venue and time? 

It is a free event and an excellent opportunity to meet beautiful and amazing ladies and besides that it is also a time to learn from wonderful speakers and start planning for 2017 and beyond. Just before the full December enjoyment kicks in, don't you think it's better to do something introspectively beneficial?
