Day 17, daily prompt of 3198... Why having bad Faith?
Sometimes in life, things and people changes and our faith becomes weak.
Yet we all pray and nothing seems to happen, we work hard, but things still don't go the way as planned. Someone you trusted disappoints you. You begin to ask, “Where is God in all of this? or God why did you allow this to happen to me, why me?"
It is easy to have faith when everything is going well but the real test comes when things become difficult and so tough
The Bible says, “Faith without works is dead.” This means we cannot only say we have faith, we must also act on it.
Even when you don't understand what God is doing, keep praying, continue the good work and believing that God will show up
Yes, your situation may have changed, but God has not changed, he doesn't lie and he has never failed before
Faith does not mean you have no problems, it means you choose to keep trusting God even when you have problems. At times the hardest season is the season that teaches us how strong our faith really is.
Have you ever gone through a situation that made you question your faith?
Yes, I've actually gone through it
Day 18, of daily prompt of 3199... Don't build your love on a weak foundation
Imagine living in a beautiful house, but the foundation is already cracking. Yes, the house may look good from outside, but sooner or later, the cracks will become a problem or the foundation will start showing up as red flags...
Relationships can be like that too

Sometimes, we see the love, the sweet good morning messages, the gifts, and the good times, but we ignore the problems underneath, I mean the red flags
Maybe there is no trust nor respect nor the person lies often or does not keep their word.
But still you cannot build a peaceful home on a weak foundation.
Love is important but love alone is not enough. You also need trust, respect, honesty, understanding, and commitment as well as tolerance.
Don't stay in a relationship simply because you are afraid to start again.
Before you build a future with someone, look at the foundation level, as ask him/her questions while asking yourself questions about it, if actually you both can work it out or you leave
A beautiful relationship with no stability will eventually become painful and twill be full of regrets
So would you stay in a relationship if you knew the foundation was already weak? or would you work it out?
Day 19, daily prompt of 3200. At most he was someone's son

I watched the family receive the news, and something in me broke.
Like, he had gone out that morning like every other day, had plans and had people waiting for him at home
His mum, told him “Morel, Come back early cause today is gonna be a special one”
Hmmm, but he never came back
The hardest part while watching the grief on the family was thinking about his family, how will they feel, how will they cope and heal?
My God, like he just completed his NYSC, guess what? His mother had struggled to send him to school, his father had worked hard to give him a better life, his siblings were waiting to see him again after a long while
Now, they would have to live with his absence, is tomorrow really promised? Cause Morel pass through the thick and thin to become someone
What I experienced and watched is depressing, why? The only son whom they spent everything on to change their lives, actually pass on the line of life to the line of Death
It is depressing
Day 20, daily prompt of 3201... do it now
There was this man who kept saying, one day, I'll start it, ah don't we still have tomorrow or even a day after tomorrow?
I'll smirk and offer some advice but then that one day became one week, one month even one year.
The painful part was that he wasn't waiting for an opportunity, he was waiting to feel ready
But purpose rarely comes with perfect timing
Sometimes, you have to start while you're afraid, you have to take the first step while your hands are shaking, you have to make the call, submit the application, open the notebook, register the business, write the first page while you're scared
So stop waiting for the perfect moment, you may not have everything figured out, but you can begin with what you have.
The dream you keep postponing is still waiting for you
Do it and start it now by just taking a step.
Do you know that, the biggest difference between the person who succeeds and the person who only dreams is simply that, one started it
Day 21, daily prompt of 3202... Mommy, please I want to **choose my life partner myself **

That was I said to my mum, after she arranged a supposed husband for me, all because he is her colleague son not knowing that this guy is something else outside.
I was like, mummy I understand that you want me to marry someone you believe is good for me but you don't really know this guy as you know your colleague. I understand that you have experience and that you are trying to protect me.
Marriage is something I'll live everyday of my life, I don't want to make mistakes and pin it on you
I will be the one living with this person every day, I'll be the one facing the good days and the difficult days.
You can advise me, you can tell me what you think, you can warn me if you see something wrong.
But please, let me make the final choice
Choosing a life partner is a big decision, it should not be based only on what other people want.
I respect your opinion, Mommy, but I also need you to respect my decision.
