Discovering your inherent purpose/ leadership.
Happy new year peeps it's been a while on this great platform and I think I have to start the year with a nice routine.
I would like to talk about leadership today which is not exercised simply by implementing techniques or method, by using one's skills, or by exhibiting a particular management style. It is the expression of a mind set resulting from the knowledge of who you were born to be.
We live our lives based on who we think we are and why we think we exist. Therefore, our leadership development to this point has been influenced by our sense of the significance of life and our relationship to it.
Discovering your influence purpose.
A true leader recognise that he has a special purpose for being in the world. That purpose determines the area of leadership in which he is to serve. His recognition of undue pride. Rather, it is a realistic assessment of his gifts and strengths.
Every person on earth in meant to exercise leadership in a particular area of gifting. One of the ways we discover our purpose in by recognising the gift we can contribute to the world and/or the problem we were born to solve. This process involves asking ourselves questions such as these:
*What are my talents?
*What would I like to do with my life?
*What do I most enjoy doing?
*What has been my lifelong dream?
*What idea do I have that refuses to go away or keeps recurring in my mind?
*What have I always wanted to do but never thought I would be able to?
*What injustice make me so angry that I must do something to alleviate them?
Internally motivated
Perhaps you have been using your gift to some extent but haven't really applied it with a sense of personal purpose. Or, maybe you have been burying your dreams, settling for a lesser existences. You may already be very accomplished different with your life.
If you pursue your true purpose, you will. Be internally motivated to exercise your inherent gift, in contract if you do something you were not born to do, you will you will have to make an effort to perform it. Maintaining your leadership position or your job will become a burden and a drain on you.
When someone is in the wrong place, he sometimes has to prop himself up with a surplus of support people and resources. But when he finds the place for which he was born, his life begins to flow naturally. He no longer needs to manufacture motivation just like @Therandomrewarder. He no longer needs to manufacture motivation, because he can't wait to start each day and initiate the next step that will bring him closer to seeing his purpose fulfilled. He has no other job than to put simile on the faces of my fellow peeps.
He's not even motivated by a paycheck, because a true leader has a need to fulfill his purpose, whether or not he receives compensation. Even so, he discovers that provision comes when he focuses on serving his gifts to the world.
If you hate Monday mornings, if you cannot wait for the weekend to come then you are a "jet." But if after a weekend, you are eager to get back to your (your corporation, artistic endeavours, volunteer activities, and so forth ) you are a "bird" and not just any bird but an eagle.
Holy is your marriage
Hi peep's happy Sunday since is first Sunday in the month of December I'm glad to be alive with my colleagues on this great platform that we witness this great day and pray that God will spare our lives to witness many more on earth.
Since is Sunday morning I decided to share with my fellow readcash what I learnt in church today and I believe it will be a great blessing to you all most especially my very good friend @Success1
In the beginning, God conceived of and established marriage as the union of a man and a woman to complete and complement each other. It is at once a union of heart, mind, soul and body the greatest and most intimate human relationship possible. " And the lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him .... And the rib, which the lord Godhad taken from man. And made he a woman, and brought her unto the man, And Adam said, this is now born of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave into his wife; and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed"( Genesis 2:18-25)
Marriage therefore is a spiritual, emotional, social,mental as well as a physical union. Along with the legal honour conferred upon it, no marriage worth the name can be lacking in any one of the components.
Viewed from whatever angle, marriage is the most beautiful earthly gift given by God to man, on the spiritual plane, marriage is two destinies flowing together as one; " And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened lot, saying Arise, TAKE THY WIFE, and thy two daughters, which are here; less thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, THE MAN LAID HOLD UPON HIS HAND, AND UPON THE HAND OF HIS WIFE, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the lord being merciful unto him and they brought him forth, and set him without both city"
On the emotional level, it is two hearts beating together as one " but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.... But she that is married careth for the things of the world how she may please her husband"
On the social plain, it is two lives lived together as one. And the lord God said it is not good that the man, should be alone I will make him a help meet for him"
And on the Physical plane it is two bodies joined together as one " for the cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife and they too shall be one flesh. In no other human relationship are all these possible or even practicable.
Marriage then is shared life, shared love, share joy, shared responsibility and shared destiny. It is the union in which the lives of a man and a woman become intricately woven together in a complex but constantly changing and inseparable formation. Now companions, friends, lovers as well as partners in procreation, man and wife justly find marriage to be their merry age!
Just to feel the flavour happy Sunday have a nice day🦹
Campus politics
For the first three years of my tutelage as a student in the university, I didn't give my studies any divided attention. I concentrated on my studies, working hard towards making first class grade. All my lecturers had confidence in me. Some of my lecturers and Even the university as a community knew the debate guy was in the school as a student of law. All these increased the pressure on me to make a good grade. After all, in the final analysis, my success in the school would not be measured by the number of girls that swarmed me like bees to honey in October. It was the grade I came out with in my exams that would define my success.
In my final year on the campus, there was a reason for me to come out of my academic shell to answer a call for leadership. The students Union election was forthcoming, and some students in my class felt I was capable to lead the union as it's president. They were ready to finance my candidature and campaign. All that they needed was my consent and readiness to campaign for the election.
The debate fire in me was ignited again and volunteered to contest. The campaign was tough as there were other contestants for the post of the president. @Kristofferquincy visited me on some occasions to lend a hand. The election campaign was tougher than that of the president of the country. My posters in various colours were posted on every available space on the campus. The captions were really captivating: "VOTE FOR A CHANGE! THE DEBATE GUY AGAIN! HADAMSON , TESTED AND TRUSTED!".
Twenty four hours to the election, all campaigns stopped then the speech night came on the eve of the election. The speech night easily brought to my memory our election in primary school hadamson defeated five of us to become the senior perfect. It was his speech at the dying minutes that did the Magic.
My campaign team organised some rehearsal for me. Some of them came with prepared speeches they wanted me to memorize. But I told them that I would speak extempore. I refuse to accept any prepared speech. The first speaker was a girl in 400l a medical student, who read a prepared speech. Four us were cleared to contest the presidential election and I was to speak last.
Our names were arranged in alphabetical order for the speech making. It was nice I was the last person, I was able to steady myself and gather confidence. I studied the Strong and weak points of the first three speakers, all girls . All of them spoke well. They pleaded and appealed to the voters not to waste their votes by voting for somebody else. The third speaker even promise to transform the university to Havard standard!
At last it was my turn to speak. I climbed the rostrum and before I could open my mouth, the shout of ' you have won, you have won ' rent the air. I appealed for calm so that I could speak. At a point of had to shout: " Great students, if you love me and you love democracy, please lend me your ears, if I do not speak tonight, I do not deserve your votes. It is from what I say that you will judge what I will do order was restored by what I said and I began to speak.
"My fellow students the great leaders of tomorrow, this is the second opportunity in the history of my life that circumstances would throw me up to save a situation. I was barely ten years old in primary four less than sixteen years ago, when a mere discussion on child abuse generated a great debate all over the country. I led my school to victory and won for myself the state scholarship award. This is a clarion call at a very higher level to serve my fellow students in the capacity of the president of the students Union.
"Matin Luther King said: the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in a moment of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenges and controversy." @Success1is a time that the students Union of this great university needs a great and dynamic leader to lead it. I made bold to say " Here I am, vote for me", and the union won't be thesame again. Your votes won't be waisted.
"You will get value for the union dues that you pay. I shall do my best to remove all the obstacles on our way to success. I have fought before to eradicate child Abuse, Child labour and child soldiering. I shall fight again to eradicate sexual harassment by some Randy lecturers. I shall fight again to make water, light and other things of convenience available in abundance on the campus. I shall fight again to restore the former glory of this great institution. I make bold to say that I shall fight again till the dignity of every student is restored"
To be continued in my next write up probably tomorrow thanks for reading and to my sponsors I'm back I look up to seeing your request again.
I feel so blessed this afternoon to receive a sponsor you @Freedom007 this afternoon what a blessing thanks for your support sir I really appreciate.💪
Lily in the mire
Hy peeps is has been a while here! For like four days now I was unable to post due to one reason or the other and I will like to use this opportunity to appreciate my sponsors for not giving up on me.just sitting this afternoon wondering about what to write but firstly I will like to share with you a match that made my day yesterday I was really glad because I'm a Liverpool FC fan and I think most of you would know what I'm about saying right now, I can't just imagine a team like Manchester United loosing to Liverpool FC at the very 5th minutes of the start up time, a goal from Naby Keita make so many fans feels bad at that moment and keep believing on their great team that they can do better at least man United suffered some first half lost in some of their past three matches so they were highly optimistic that the match can still ends in favour of Manchester United until another beautiful goal was scored by Diogo Jota at 13th minutes of the match so Manchester United fans began to wonder what an hell is going on here? Where we can still do it one of them voiced out, I was busy laughing because I knew Liverpool was going to show the hell on earth just before we finished the discussion another goal entered which was scored at the 38th minutes by Mohammed Salah. I smiled and say you people have not seen anything, you are going to see the beat of Liverpool today just few minutes later another goal was scored by Mohammed Salah again at the 45 + minutes of the match leaving all Manchester United fans hopelessly because there's no way they can return 4 goals on the row and still win the match. Me as a Liverpool FC fan I was super happy cuz I already know that Liverpool has already won the match immediately they resumed for 2nd half and we experienced another goal from Mohammed Salah at the 50th minutes of the match, one of my friend just called me and told me that Manchester United bought Goat and Liverpool use am do Sallah. Ha😆.
Back to the business of the day enough of all this united stuff le t me share these short story with us. "The days are evil" there could be no better way of describing our days than the way Bible puts it. Sister Smith could not believe her ears at what her friend and colleague was disclosing to her; but still she listened:
"I mean, am going to meet Phil at the airport by 5pm, Angela repeated herself, sounding more emphatic. Sister Smith: which Phil?
Angela: Phil now! But I have just intimated you on my progress so far with him.
Sister Smith: you mean the man you'd been chatting with on the internet? Angela of course, yes! He is no longer just any man now. He is my fiance. I've even filled our wedding notice in the court registry. Sister Smith: no, sister Angela, you can't be serious! I mean, you told me you are a Christian. For God's sake, you don't even know this man and ....... and......... Where's the place of God in all these?
Angela oh well! I have tried to wait. And, that is are you saying it is not God that gave me knowledge of the internet? Alright! Bye see you tomorrow!
With that, she dashed out excitedly from the office. Angela is a trained secretary. She was just browsing the net one afternoon when she stumbled on this website that claimed to match eligible bachelors with suitable splinters. She jokingly punched in her information and to her surprise. Received a reply two days later from one Phil. The affair started quite casually as they chatted on the net. But now, it is culminating in a serious relationship; at least Angela is serious! We've not heard from Phil yet.
The question that has been gnawing at Angela's conscience since all these began was if she was going to replace God's role in choosing for her with this technological hype. Her friend, sister Smith, had asked her if, as a Christian sister (for so she claims), she was not supposed to pray and receive from God before plunging herself into any meaningful relationship. Now, she has gone ahead defiantly to even file for a life long contract marriage! What has come over humanity? Where is this flood taking us to? To the rocks? And can online relationship lead to marriage? I will like to see you answers at the comment section thanks for reading and have a great day.
What is your work? Has a woman or house wife.
Christy knelt by her beside with the intention to pray, but her mind kept wondering from one task to the other. She was encumbered with thoughts of the tasks she had neglected and those she needed to attend to urgently. Suddenly snapping out of her thoughts, she recalled that she had intended to pray. She sighed heavily and Began to talk to God brokenly "Dear lord, I'm sorry for allowing my thoughts to wander. I really think I'm loosing it this time. You have placed so much in my hands, but I don't seem to be measuring up. I can't seem to get things done, lord....... I feel like a failure ...... Please, help me........"
As a wife, a mother of four, a Christian worker, and a banker, Christy had started out with a grim determination to juggle the responsibilities of family life, church activities and full-time job, and to live a balanced life. She did manage to achieve the feat early in her marriage, but as her family began to grow, and she had longer working hours because of her rapid advancement in the bank, she began to fail in some of her responsibilities. Her husband complained subtly she wasn't giving enough attention to her family, her pastor chided her for not showing commitment in following up new converts, and her boss would have none of her excuses for not completing her daily routine.
Standing up, she tried to shake off the feelings of frustration and depression. Maybe I need to talk to somebody, she thought aloud, trying hard not to cry, just then, the doorbell rang. As she moved towards the living room to find out who was at the door, her husband, ben, was already admitting Mrs Dorothy into the house. Dorothy was a sweet old woman in her local church, who seemed to endear everyone to herself. Everyone saw her as an epitome of a real Christian mother. The sight of Dorothy would usually lift Christy's spirit, but her depression had a strong hold on her.
As she walked into the living room, Dorothy and Ben noticed the pain expression on her face. They stopped chatting and watch her sat on the sofa, "Are you okay my love? " Ben asked, moving closer to sit with her. Dorothy was supprised to see Christy this way, because she had always known her to boisterous. Besides, she hadn't seen her in church for some weeks.
Sobbing quietly, Christy burst, " I have had it! I need a break! Flabbergasted at her outburst of emotion, Ben and Dorothy looked at each other.
"You need a break from what? " Ben asked " I don't get it.
Still sobbing, she replied I need a break from everything , work , family responsibilities, domestic chores, church activities in can't juggle them all. I can't meet everyone's expectations" she suddenly got up and began to pace round the room, muttering, " I need to get away for a while: I need a break....... I need to relax and unwind " she soon stopped pacing, and stood at the window, staring outside.
Ben was at a loss of words, in their eight years of marriage, he he had not seen his wife so depressed, nor heard such outrageous outburst from her . He just sat on the sofa and stared at her in wonderment. Dorothy , with a knowing smile, motioned her to sit beside her. " Do you really want to unwind, or you just want to run away from all the responsibilities and expectations?" She asked . Christy arched her eyebrows in surprise at her question. " Listen my dear, running away will not make those responsibilities go awqy. They'll be right here waiting for you when you get back. Now, don't get me wrong. It's okay to take time off so you can plan how to juggle your increasing responsibilities , and keep a balance in your life. But what's not okay is to shrink from those responsibilities out of frustration. Have you forgotten the virtuous woman in proverbs 31, she juggled all these responsibilities.she was a Christian, a business owner, yet she shines as a bright beacon .
At this point Christy spoke up "Ma'am, the story of the proverbs 31 woman is beginning to sound like a fairy tale to me, come on, you are a woman like me. Is it possible to juggle the Christian life, home life, community life, career and other responsibilities as a woman? I mean you are the cook, your children's teacher, the family nurse, the home maker, your husband's help matr, a successful career or businessperson all at the same time. How is that possible in this modern time ? The truth is, I don't think I can do this ".
So Dorothy continue to convince her that she is a woman and she can combine all this responsibilities together and still leave her Normal life style as a woman I believe we have a lot of challenges on our path as a lady and also want to use the opportunity to plead with the men to always assist their wife. In carrying out most the responsibilities at home so that it won't be too much for them. Thanks for your time I really appreciate my family on this great platform you are all wonderful.
Random Questions for a Tuesday
Today's a Tuesday; after much boredom throughout the day due to the lack of electricity which has always been a problem, I decided to answer some random questions based on my dear @Expelliarmus30's post titled random thingy again as a means of keeping myself busy in a bid to eliminate boredom. Here's the link to the article with a lot of questions you can choose from I case you want to try them out. https://read.cash/@Expelliarmus30/random-thingy-again-22bf7a11 https://www.teenvogue.com/story/21-questions-game
**Random questions here we go;**
The weirdest dream I ever had
The weirdest dream I ever had is where I see myself with the ability to fly. Watching cartoons like superman, spiderman and justice league while growing up always made me imagine I could fly and sometimes have super powers; well this happened in one of my dreams as a kid where I saw myself as superman, I could fly, had super strength and could beat over a hundred people at once...I guess our imaginations as kids sometimes find it's way to our dreams.. lol.
My biggest regret
My biggest regret was in the year 2017, when I gave someone about $12 to buy ethereum because I didn't know how to do it myself as I was a total novice on crypto related issues as at then, it turned out the person was a scam and my money was gone. $6 worth of ethereum as at 2017 would have made me a fortune in 2021 but it's unfortunate that my being scanned totally discouraged me from anything crypto related and I didn't get to understand the concept until 2019 when it was already too late. This is my biggest regret and this opened my eyes to a lot if mans by which people get scammed via cryptocurrency.
Worst lie I was ever told
The worst lie I was ever told was something about a football match between Nigeria and India where India beat Nigeria due to the super powers they had, and the score was 99-0. Niherian players were frustrated and India decided to make it fair by deciding that Nigeria would be declared winner if only they could score just one goal; this seemed practically impossible because the football was actually as hard as stone and Nigerian players couldn't kick the ball without getting injured. A certain Nigerian player summoned courage and played the ball with all his life force and finally scored a goal, Nigeria was declared winner but the player died afterwards.. a really weird story.. haha.. worst lie ever.
Love at first sight?
Nah...I'd rather not. I don't know what to say regarding this but maybe if I saw in real life, I may consider falling in love with her considering she's a really beautiful lady based on her pictures plus she'd always keep me company with her horror stories which I enjoy very much. Plus we have as well; a lady with a really beautiful personality, I bet I'd fall in love with her as soon as I set my eyes on her.
A movie I can watch over and over
This is easy; I'd go for the amazing spiderman 2 featuring Andrew Garfield as Peter parker as spiderman. It's my favourite spiderman movie till date and I liked the interpretation of the green goblin plus the fact that Gwen Stacy had to die at the end even made it a dark movie as anticipated. Apart from The Amazing spiderman 2, I loved the incredible Hulk featuring Edward Norton, he was a really good Brice Banner and played the role nich begywr then his replacement Mark Ruffalo which I didn't like at all. So the movies I could watch all day are are; The Amazing spiderman 2 and The Incredible Hulk.
My favourite food
Have you had hot dog and ice cream, or friend rice with salad, or maybe even Hamburger stepped down with a bottle of cold yoghurt? Well, these the perfect combinations that should be called my favourite foods. Plus there's the traditional nigerian food of Poinded Yam and Egusi soup, or Yam and fried eggs. These are my favourite food combinations; I find it difficult to slim lime my choice to only one.
My teammates In a zombie apocalypse
In a zombie apocalypse, I'd require people with good logical reasoning and high IQ for session making, plus someone with superpowers would be much appreciated. For instance My teammates in a zombie apocalypse would most likely be Batman for his logical reasoning and skills are a master planner, second would be someone like the Green arrow; an archer would really come in handy to keep an eye out from afar incase we get caught up in a rampage, he'd fire arrows from a distance and save from getting killed.. lastly would be John Constantine.. a sorcerer, magician and exorcist; his powers will sure cone in handy.
Done with my version of random questions fir today as a means of killing undeserved boredom; I sincerely hope you enjoy reading this...
Have fun; and don't die of boredom..
Special hello to my sponsors @GarrethGrey07, @Jeansapphire39 and @Kristofferquincy ; thanks for your constant support.
I sincerely hope @TheRandomRewarder will look upon me with favor and say hello to my article..

After the vow what next?
Kingsley alone in his office, was in a pensive mood. He was reflecting on his life. How he got himself entangled in the mess he was in now, he could not fathom. All he wanted was a way out, and that was nowhere he sight. To think that his marriage was barely fifteen months old and he was this bored with the relationship was unimagineable! Compounding his problems was the affair he had just started with the lady in office next to his. Yet, he was supposed to be a Christian! He had broken his Marital vow. No peace for him again. Biblical injunctions about the sanctity of marriage vows, which he knew and had preached kept ringing in his ears.
He was not at peace with himself and no peace at home either. Ooh he sighed. His mother-in-law was not even helping matters. What with her imposing presence in the house, always ordering her daughter about if she was still under her care! Anyway, was it her fault? He thought. Mary was always running back home for everything after their wedding. How then would her mother not be controlling her? Kingsley could scarcely be home a full day alone with his wife. Now that her mother had even packed in, in the guise of caring for their child, things has become worse!
He could remember vividly how the problem started. Mary had insisted on a very flamboyant wedding. He had finished all his savings on her spending spree. He even had to go borrowing to satisfy her demands. When he had to pay back debts after wedding. Mary had to depend on her mother for sustenaince. Before he could realise what was happening, his mother-in-law had taken over his hone. He felt so sorry for himself. Why didn't he refuse to spend so much on the wedding? That would have prevented all this mess, he thought. He had become so alienated from his wife, who felt so comfortable with her mum around that he had fallen into trap of the lady in the next office. Now the deed was done and his conscience will not let him rest.
Kingsley was surely at his wits end, but his wife was so engrossed, first with the child and then her mum, that she did not even know, her husband was aching out of neglect. He was staying late in the office to kill time, so to say, this has lead to his undue closeness with the lady who started to keep his company, before he could control his feelings and emotions, he has been lured and trapped because he then was very vulnerable. How how would he disengage from this satanic trap? He thought even now, if he should stop this new affair, was he sure of the waiting arms of his wife? How could he get through to her? For her to realise she had missed it? All this questions, to which he had no answers kept coming to his mind, he felt so totally lost.
Definitely is not the only man going through this dilemma. Yet giving the right condition and atmosphere, half of Marital problem will no be. Each partners goes into marriage with some expectations. For instance an average wife wants to be loved and doted upon, she wants security. Now wonder the only wise God commanded husbands to love their wives. Also, a typical husband want a companion, he wants happiness to enable him master his world and make a mark on earth. Again, God in his wisdom created a woman (a wife for Adam) to solve the problem of loneliness, so God created a wife an help meet (a companion suitable ) for him to enable him fulfill Gods plan for his life.
Conclusion
A man must stand and live by principle because I see no reason why a man should go and borrow money to do wedding just because he wants to satisfy his partner, because wedding will only last for a day but marriage last forever. Because when things begin to turn upside down, both couples would be tired of the relationship. Any lady that wants a flamboyant wedding would have prepared very well before venturing into it just like my friend @Princessbusayois doing right now laying a good foundation for her unborn children and trying to make sure they live a fulfilled life.
The Floodgate of blessings
The dull ache in her head and the heaviness she felt all over her body made Mrs Jones want to stay in bed a little longer. She silently thanked God that she didn't have to think of hurrying to work with all she had on her hands. Now, not only did she need the sleep, she deserved it too. But she couldn't indulge herself, at least not now. So with all the strength and determination she could muster she crawled out of bed shortly before 5:00am.
She had been awake all night long because her three months old baby cried continually and did not drift off to sleep until about 3:30am. She could not understand the cause of his persistence cries, and had done everything she knew how to get him to sleep, all to no avail. With sleepy eyes , she went into the kitchen. She had to prepare something for breakfast and pack the older children's lunch boxes for school. Thank heavens, that didn't take much of her time.
Since her husband was out of town on an official assignment, she decided to pray with the children in their bedroom instead of the sitting room where they usually prayed when daddy was around. It took her almost fifteen minutes to get them out if bed . And it took another thirty minutes just to get them ready for school. Those two girls were a handful! Their school bus arrived in no time and they were off to school.
Even after they left for school, she still couldn't get the much desired sleep because of course, there was the house to clean up clothes to launder and the baby to attend to. And she grappled with all these other chores until boisterous Janet and joy returned from school. Keeping them out of trouble while attending to the baby always proved very demanding. She never could get used to it!
The above scenario very well described what many mothers have to deal with day after day. From the time you wake up early every morning till bed time, there is hardly any idle moment. The activities you have to see to are almost endless rising up early to have your own personal time with God gathering the whole family together for the family devotion (you know how difficult it is to get the children to come around) preparing breakfast, dressing then up and sending them to school, and after they have left for school, gathering the dirty clothes to wash, drying and ironing them, picking the toys around the house, preparing lunch before they return from school, reviewing their class work with them when they return, getting them to do their home work, washing over them as they play around the house, so that they do not hurt themselves, answering their seemingly unending questions, defining proper and improper behaviour, correcting and discipline them when necessary and encouraging them when appropriate, praying with them before going to bed and so on.
Apart from what you have to give physically, you will also spent both emotionally and psychologically, for instance when any of your children is unable to eat, you automatically lose appetite. When one or more of your children is in pain, you are never at peace, in fact, you'll wish the pains could be transferred to you. Sometimes like the woman in the illustration, you may even have to resign your job, just to ensure that you are able to give your children all the time and attention they deserve. You'll agree that the responsibility of nurturing and training your children is enormous and tasking but nevertheless a most scared one.
Unarguably, the Christian mothers plays the most critical role in teaching and training her children, preparing them for success in life, preparing them for service to God and helping them to make heaven at last. Henry G Bosch one said think of some of the great men of the Bible like Moses , Samuel and Timothy, where would they have been had it not been for their praying spirit-led mothers? Think of Augustine, John Newton and the zealous Wesleys their history had not been for the blessed influence of Godly mothers.
Conclusion
Mothers are the best gift we could get from God if you mad it in life it is part of the foundation laid down buy your Mother for this reason let us take very good care of our mothers and try to respect them always.
The virtuous woman, the enemy is instrested too. beware!
Good morning and happy Sunday to you all
Their is a home you could describe as heaven on earth , merely looking at their home. You could just also easy picture how it must have been with the first man and woman in the garden of Eden, it was a home envied by all. They had only been married for a few years, yet many trouble homes and couples who were on the verge of separation went to the for counseling. The Jones home was indeed one that any would so easily desire to be a part of, it was a happy blissful home.
Sophia Jones was the first of the two children in the family. She and Stephanie, her younger sister grew up in a relatively serene atmosphere. Their parents were devout Christians, who did not fail to show their little girl the way of the cross. And they also ensures that they had all there needs met. Everything between both girls was fine or seems so , until they reach their teenage years, during, during which Stephanie begin to exhibit obvious traits of envy and jealously towards her sister. Sophia never took her younger sister's behaviour to heart. She loved her still, whilst she prayed for her conversion.
Even though they were brought up in the Christian way, Stephanie remained adamant in her sin. Nothing her parents did ever satisfied her. She would accuse them of preferring Sophia to her, and with this deposition, she wax worse and worse in her vices.
Unexpectedly, however, both parents were soon taken away to be with the lord. And the girls were made to go on in life by themselves. During this time, Sophia was a strong pillar of support to her sister. Stephanie herself seemed softened a bit by the turn of events in the family. She began going to church with her sister. Sophia was very delighted about the shock of her life!
Actually Stephanie never did have a change of heart. She only put up a show to make her sister believe that all was well, while she actually had a cruel agenda in mind. Before long, Sophia emerged as the best graduating students from the country's premier university. She soon got married to Lewis jones, son of the owner of the nation's leading telecommunication outfit. All these turns of events in her life only helped to infuriate her sister even more. Stephanie's major grouse had always been that life was fair to Sophia Al the way. While she struggled through every phase of life , Sophia had it smooth. And to her, that was totally unacceptable.
With all these ill motives that Stephanie bore again her sister, never did Sophia stop taking care of her. As soon as she got married, she insisted that Stephanie moved in with them. Even though Stephanie had not altogether welcomed the idea, Sophia's constant nudging left her no choice than to grant her request. Sophia saw to it that her sister's every needs was met. She was responsible for the payment of her school fees, clothing , feeding and every other thing that one could ever imagine.
Being the project supervisor of a construction company, Sophia had to travel often. And on one occasion she had to see to the supervision of a road construction project in another part of the country. She was billed to be away two whole months. She worried much about the welfare of her husband and their little boy in her absence. But she didn't have to worry long because Stephanie returned from school on a three months vacation. A sweet relief swept over Sophia. There would be someone to take care of her home in her absence. And it wasn't just anybody. It was her kid sister.
Unknown to her, Stephanie had waited long for an opportunity to show her life that life don't always have to be fair to her alone. Her bitterness had grown into resentment and a very strong aversion over the years, but she managed to cover it up all those years. She saw Sophia's absence as the opportunity she had long sought for. How would she go about that? She sure had a conceived plan. She would lure her sister's husband to bed. Even she cringed at the thought of doing such abomination thing, but she was too bitter to care. She had to let Sophia know that she couldn't always all of life's good.
Plan hatched, Stephanie wasted no time at all. She immediately plunged into action. For three whole weeks, she tried without a success to seduce Lewis. Her big break however came when within the fourth week of her sister's absence. Lewis returned home heartbroken. His company had just lost a contract that ran into several millions because of a mistake on his part. He was obviously most susceptible at that time. She quickly took advantage of his state. It worked! And for the next Month, Lewis was returning home and into the ever waiting but destructive arms of his sister-in-law.
Soon, the project supervision was over and Sophia returned home. Everything seemed just fine, except that she could sense there was something mighty wrong with her husband. When she asked he tried so desperately to assure her that nothing was the matter. By this time however, Stephanie had returned to school. Lewis continued live as thought nothing ever went amiss. But his wife couldn't fooled; she was sure something terrible has happened to her husband. Communication was strained between them, every time, there was this lost look in his eyes. What was eating him up? She battled with this and many more questions. Her once blissful home had gradually metamorphosed into an ominously calm sea, with heart shattering undercurrents.
A couple of months later, Stephanie showed up from school.only this time she came with a bulging stomach Sophia stopped short when she saw her sister's bulging stomach. After she managed to muster the strength to talk to her, she asked as calmly as she could, what is this Stephanie? What happened? Who did this to you? All these questions she asked within a hair's breadth. With her face set Stephanie rudely told her that her husband would be in the better position to answer the question. Sophia was thrown into utter confusion. She looked from her husband, who was now bowed, to sister who held her head so high, a triumphant smile resting on her lips the whole time. As what she feared might be truth began to dawn on her, she dazedly slumped onto the rug. Her head in her hands, she sobbed silently. She fervently prayed it was all some bad joke,and that one of them would burst out laughing, before she went beside herself.
It was when Lewis Began to speak that she realised she wasn't actually dreaming, and they were not pulling her legs either. He talked about how he had fallen for Stephanie's seduction. When she called him to say that she was pregnant. He tried to talk to her into going abroad to have the baby, since he would never opt for an abortion. But she had insisted that she would have the baby under their roof. Sophia could even hardly make out the words he was saying. All the time she was busying her mind about what she'd do to salvage what was left of her home.
To be continued hope you enjoyed the story.
Better days Ahead 2
Thanks to my sponsors I really appreciate you people cuz you are awesome and wonderful. Love you all.
How could he tell him that things were now worst than the could get? What would he think of her that she could not keep their home in his absence? How could she tell him that at the moment. Jake was no where to be found? That a 17 years old wondered away from home and she could not do anything about it? As all these thoughts gnawed at her, she trembled from within and her frame shook against Amos body. He thought she shook from cold. So he hurriedly led her away from the lobby to the waiting car in the parking lot.
On their way home, she couldn't resist the urge to ask him what gave him so much calm after hearing all the things that had transpired in his absence. She had told him of the deterioration of all three children, Jake's disappearance from home, and all he did was smile. For some time, she fell silent has she turned the whole scenario over in her mind. She couldn't place it. Something might serious had to have happened to her husband. He was never this calm. Jake and the girls trembled whenever he was home. They didn't dare do anything silly because they knew the repercussions. And now there he sat beside her, looking so happy, so content. Even with the disheartening things that she had told him he remain calm.
She broke the silence by repeating the same question. This time , he looked down at her adoringly and started to tell her of his encounter with the saviour of mankind. He didn't even been half way through his story when he sobs tore through her throat. She hadn't intended to cry, but she lost control of her self. At that instance, she knew the only thing she really needed was thesame encounter Amos talked about.
With tears in her eyes she looked fixedly at Amos. "Can he save me too? I really want to make amends for all the mistakes I've made with my life and those of the kids." I'm very sorry her voice trialled off. The vibration caused by her sobs shook even Amos.
There in the back seat of the airport taxi, Amos led his wife to the lord, the transformation in the father and mother marked a whole new beginning for the Thompsons. Things however remained the same way they had been. But Amos kept reassuring Margaret that things would be fine. She had to look beyond the present confrontations because there were better days ahead.
Amos had decided to resign the job that so much took him away from home, he needed more time with his family. He had realized that his absence had contributed in no small way to the many problems they had. Margaret's eyes too had been opened to the fact that she nagged and complained more than she commended and complimented the children. She realised that she needed to appreciate them more.
As both parents Began to correct what they had done to their children, they began noticing dramatic changes in their daughter, June soon started to spend more time in the house. All the colour that had left Jasmine's cheek soon returned. They were gradually becoming a family again. They now prayed together ate together, play together and had picnics together, still Margaret was concerned about Jake. None knew his whereabouts. But they never ceased to pray for him. By this time her two girls had come to accept the lordship of Christ.
One Saturday morning, then Thompson had just ended their devotion when that heard a faint knock on the door. Amos went to see who it wad. To his utmost amazement, a rough looking Jake stood at the doorway. His hairs was dishevelled, his eyes bloodshot. He looked like he had just surfaced from a slum. He quickly stepped aside for the young man to step inside the living room.
Amos saw the fear in his son's eyes and drew him into a very close embrace. Jake was very sobered and the tears just flowed down freely. When he broke free from the almost suffocating hug with his dad, he went straight to where Margaret sat and numb. Crying , he let out the words he had to constantly rehearsed for two whole weeks. He said amidst sobs, " you'd be justified if you refuse to forgive me. I don't deserve your forgiveness knowing how much pain i have caused you. I'm really sorry mana." He called her mama! That's something he hadn't done in a long while. She was moved she too began to cry.
Conclusion
No matter the situation we find ourselves let us know that it's just for a while no condition is permanent. Enjoy the rest of your day love you all🥰😍.
Better Days Ahead
She couldn't seem to take her eyes off the clock, with each moment that passed by, Margaret Thompson wondered helplessly where a 17 year old could possibly be at such ungodly hour, her eyes involuntarily darting to clock on the mantelpiece intermittently.it was well past midnight and Jake her son was yet to return from one of this many adventures. He seemed to grow worse with each passing day. She couldn't fathom what any parent could give to a child other than what she and Amos had made available to their three children. They lacked practically nothing money could buy. Yet all their efforts proved abortive and their children waxed worse and worse in their vices. Jake's behaviour gave her more concern however since he was the oldest and was supposed to set a good example for others to follow.
The bang on the door instantly drove the sleep from her eyes. She walked briskly to the door. When she peeped through the keyhole, she discovered it was Jake. Angrily, she walked briskly to the door. The only thought on her mind then was to hit him across his face. But she stopped short as the teenager staggered into the house. He reeked! She felt paralyzed. Her anger immediately turning into frustration, she slumped into the chair nearest to her
"Jay! What's this about? Oh, I feared you would degenerate, but not to the point of walking the streets as drunk as you are now." On he went into the bathroom. He needed to shake off the throb in his head. He was not in the least bothered about her ranting, that was already used to all that talk about how hard she and their ever absent father were trying to provide for them and make them really comfortable. That was their headache. He had his own life to live and did not wish to have anybody bore him with such nonsense as morality.
That night she was unable to sleep at all, she tossed from one end of the bed to another.where had they missed it? She had asked herself that same question countless times. Amos was working so hard to provide for their family. She couldn't blame him for his perpetual absence from home. He had to work. What did these children want that they had not done? If only they would just let her know their mistakes and faults, she was ready to give anything to give anything to restore sanity to her home again.
It appeared she had so much focused on Jake and had lost June, her 15 year old daughter. Before she became conscious of what changes had occurred in her daughter, June had begun hanging out with the wildest boys in town. This really set her on edge. She thought she might lose her mind if something positive didn't happen in her home soon enough.
Amos was billed to come home that week. The thought of her husband's return was the only thing that gave her a little consolation. Within a few years she had lost all three children. Jasmine, her 10 years old child was so withdrawn she hardly talked to anybody in the house. She would just stay glued to television. Nothing interested her. Even her class-teacher had explained that her performance had drastically dwindled and she hardly concentrated in class anymore. She had also lost all her glee and glamour. A once cheerful Jasmine had become a shadow of herself.
Margaret's pain was so great. She felt her stomach lighten every time she saw what had become of her children. What could she say that under her very grasp she lost all three children? She saw engulfed by the interest agony. The pain in her heart was almost physical. She had failed in her responsibility as a mother! She met a whole new and transformed Amos at airport that afternoon. He didn't have to say anything: his looks told her everything. Her heart sunk. Had she lost Amos too? As if he noticed her fear and wanted to abate it, he put this arms around her and smiling reassuringly said "I'm home 'pearl', everything's alright now."
To be continued.............
Check for the rest in my next post thanks for reading.
Thanks for today's sponsorship @garrethgrey07 you are really wonderful 🥰
I want to use this opportunity to appreciate the two people that made my day just as if it was a planned work I got the two sponsorship at once thanks to @gerrathgrey07 and @kristofferquincy I really appreciate you.
Designed for motherhood
None could ever have imagined that Mary would one day become the caring and enthusiastic mother of two. As a child, her mum had been very much concerned about the way she reacted to things that were obviously feminine. While other girls of her age did all sorts with babies dolls. Mary never showed the slightest interest in dolls . She always ended up giving away every doll her mother bought for her. Even she never did consider her self as having the nurturing nature women are known to have.
Growing up, she had always dreamt of being everything but a mother. She considered having a very successful career in engineering. She would one day become one of the country's top engineers. She also imagine living her dream of becoming a prolific writer of fictions. But never did she give motherhood a thought.
At age twenty Mary was seriously ill, and for several months the doctors relentlessly fought to save her life. After series of several treatments given to her, she actually survived with a condition that she could not longer conceive, the doctors declared as some of the really powerful drugs she took hard devastating effects on her womb.
Many young woman would have convulsed on hearing such news but owing to Mary's disposition, it was not surprising how that with a mere shrug of the shoulder, she waved off the news. After all, she had never seen having children as something anyone should be so crave.
Mary soon get welded to James who himself was not into children before long however, tragedy b, which necessitate their having a child, struck! The only family James had left his brother, together with his wife died in an auto crash , leaving behind a sixteen months old toddler.
As dawned on Mary that she would inevitably have to take the charge of little Micheal, she panicked. How on earth was she supposed to mother the child? But as soon as she held Micheal in her hands, the tenderness and helplessness she saw in the little boy's eyes stirred something in her. Something she had always felt was there but couldn't really fathom. She pitied the child. No it was affection she felt for him. She actually wanted to take care of him, she realised. She really did have the feeling to take care of Micheal! She was much alarmed by the burst of emotions she felt.
Several weeks after James took Micheal home, Mary discovered that she was more at peace. She felt a kind of satisfaction and wholeness she could not even explain. The void and hollowness that pursuing other things she considered more important than motherhood could not fill, was filled by the joy of caring for a child that was not even hers. At this, she began imagining the thrill of bearing a life in her for nine months. The thought of that alone made her very excited.
Five years after James took Micheal in, Mary was confirmed pregnant. Though the pregnancy, anyone could just read the joy, happiness, and tender love for the unborn in her eyes. At every time possible her free hand never left caressing her bulging stomach. At the time appointed, she was delivered of a beautiful baby girl. Now she testified to being a happier and more fulfilled woman.
Conclusion
God made human beings a masterpiece of his creations. In his wisdom. The woman in particular was purpose built. Who can fault the ingenuity and creativity of the lord Almighty God in the concept and design of the woman? She was not the first to be created yet, yet being made after the men, she was more polished and of finer features. She's pretty, gentle, caring and gracious. This is why feminity is known everywhere as an epitome of tenderness, gentleness and kindness. Someone even said that nature made the woman to be adoring and emotional.
Oh! God what a stressful day!
Today been a free day for me, I just decided to go for an excursion to a near by town like 200kms to my school since it's just two days after my project defence and I have nothing doing in school any more but how I wish I never have a thought about this! I called my friend @Kristofferquincy so we decided to go together, I don't know if you know Nigeria too well though!
The name of my school is Adekunle Ajasin University Ondo State so we decided to go to a neighbouring states Edo State, so we called upon one of my uncle's driver to take us there but was such a wired experience not knowing to us that the road we took was totally bad even to the extend that we got to some area where we have to get down from the car to push it before we can proceed and we met countless numbers of police men on different check point, but there's something about them that got me angry immediately they site our car coming they will have to stop us and search even to the extent of them asking for the car's prove of ownership, driver's licence and so on just as a means to delay us.
The journey that was suppose to take us 2hours we actually spent 4hrs before getting to Auchi Edo State on getting there we drove round the town and stopped by at a restaurant to buy food cuz we were very hungry a that particular point in time.
Immediately we finished eating I received a message from my bank that I was debited some money worth over one hundred dollars without my consent so I quickly collect the key to the car from the driver and drove straight to one of the bank's branch which is by name Ecobank of Nigeria PLC on getting there I wasn't allowed to enter just because I didn't put on face mask so I have to the nearest store to get two for me and my friend, so finally we gain access to the bank and asked them to help me print out my statement of my account of which the lady did and I asked her how come about the debit alert so she said it was a mistake that I should fill a form so that she came help me to reverse my money then I felt relief a bit immediately I received a credit alert that the money has been refunded.
Immediately I finished from the bank I went straight to one of my uncle's house to say hi to him, when I got there unfortunately for me I didn't meet anyone at home then I was I highly disappointed so I'm left with no option than to return back to my school.
I called the driver to meet me there so we can take off not quite long after I dropped the call he arrived, then we took off from Auchi Edo State back to my school Adekunle Ajasin University Ondo State, on our way going we met some of these custom officers on the way, so they stopped us and ask us to bring out our custom papers of the car, so the driver brought them out and one of the officers was like this paper is fake that we should provide the original copy of the paper cuz the one given to them was the photocopy so we began to drag the issue, During the process my phone mistakenly fell off my hands and the screen got broken! I really felt bad about these and this got me angry like I should just slap the officer but God save him he released us immediately after the incidence.
I was feeling so bad cuz I know is I'm going to spend some of my my savings to get the phone fixed, immediately I got to school I took the phone to one of the engineer over there to help me fix it up, so he told me I'm going to spend up to 60dollars to fix it up since I'm left with no other option I quickly transferred it to him. This is one of the reasons I'm posting too late today cuz my day was very stressful thanks for checking out my post and enjoy the rest of your day.
Thank you so much @jeansapphire39 for your unexpected sponsorship, I really appreciate it and promise not to disappoint you 😍 thanks dear
Freedom at last project defence done
Oh! yeah what a stressful day, at last I I'm done with my project defence after I wrote my final paper on the 3rd of August this year, series of date has been fixed for me to defend my project of which never comes through until last Thursday i just received a message from my school WhatsApp group that we are gonna defend our project on Monday which is the 11th day of October, at first I was happy that at least I would be free from the stress I have been going through to get things done.
Immediately I went straight up to my supervisor for necessary corrections from the fist chapter to the last chapter which is chapter five. But unfortunately for me I don't meet him in his office so I have to give him a call, then he told that he's not around at that moment that I should come back on the next day which is Friday I felt so discourage and helpless at that moment but there's nothing I can do cuz I have no power of my own.
I woke up very early in the morning on Friday and prepare myself so that I get to his office early. Around 8am I moved straight down to his office luckily for me I met him in his office and showed him my project write up so he made some necessary corrections and also complained that my references are too much that I should try as much as possible to reduce it then I said okay and went back to one of our lecture theatre to correct my write up very fast so that I can submit to him that very Friday and prepare for my defence on Monday of which I did within few minutes.
Finally on Monday, which was yesterday I have to wake up very early to do my morning routine before leaving for school, on getting to school that yesterday morning the initial plan was that we are going to use projector for the defence of which I have prepared my slides, bit I was highly disappointed when we're told to wait for those presenting there industrial based attachment (siwess) in same department to finish before we start I felt so discourage because my initial plan was to do things very fast and go back home.
Immediately they finished it was my turn to present my project work , in the presence of some of my lecturers and external supervisor but something strange happened at the moment because they we're taking my topic for something else I told them it was "prediction of photosynthetic active radiation using stepwise regression with akaike information criterion as prediction error estimator."
Which is modelling in the sense that it is theoretical not practical so I was wondering why they were asking me practical questions like :
*What is photosynthetic active radiation? Is simply the spectral range (wave band) of solar radiation from 400 to 700 nanometres that photosynthetic organisms is able to use in the process of photosynthesis.
Plants ultimately needs photosynthetic active radiation as an energy requirements to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose that is needed for there growth and structural development.
*What is the aim of the project? Is to build a stepwise regression model to predict photosynthetic active radiation that will employ metrological parameters ( Air Temperature, Wind Direction , Wind Speed, Barometric Pressure, Relative humidity) as predictors.
After this I explained to them how I got my datas and how I arrived at my research results then later proceed to my conclusion and recommendations until they said okay you have done great you may leave I was very excited that at last I made it then I ran to my supervisor and took some pictures with him and my other colleagues as I awaits my results which is gonna be out in few days time.
Me and my supervisor
Conclusion
I'm using these medium to appreciate each and everyone that has been part of these great research success, of which my family on read.cash are not left out I love you all.
Happy Sunday; the fruits of the spirit
Hello dear peeps; this is me saying good morning and happy Sunday to you all; I sincerely hope you’re enjoyed your time in the presence of the lord because I really enjoyed myself. Sunday’s are special days; days where you spend time in the house of God while praising and worshipping him, followed by the usual sermons which we require for spiritual growth. After which we spend time with family because Sunday’s are the only days we get to do that as we’re mostly busy during the week and family is usually the last thing on our mind.
Since today is a perfect day; 10/10/2021 (the tenth day of the tenth month), I feel so blessed and give thanks to the lord for giving me and my readers the great opportunity to witness a brand new day, not just any day but a great day like this; a Sunday day has made. I believe a lot of people should either be on their way to church or preparing to go back home from church while some must have been home hours ago all depending on whatever time zone they’re in. This is really unusual of me but I got to church pretty late today; the bible study class was almost over and it was a bit embarrassing because all eyes are gonna be on you and it would be hard to hide the fact that I came late due to the weird sitting arrangement in the church.
Anyway; I give thanks to God because I was still able to take part in this wonderful segment of the church service, and would like to share with my great family on read.cash some of the things learnt during Sunday school today; the fruits of the Holy Spirit such as love, joy, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Love
The word “love” as used in this aspect is not the same as used in everyday life, mostly referring to romance, emotions and sometimes lust for those who can hardly tell the difference. The Bible’s definition of love is somewhat unique; and not based on what we feel but what we do, the actions we take and how well we relate with people and situations around us.
According to 1 Corinthians 13; 4-7:
“Love is patient,
Love is kind,
It is not jealous,
It is not inflated or pompous,
It is not rude; does not seek its own interest,
It is not quick tempered,
It does not broad over injury,
It does not rejoice over wrong doings but rejoices with the truth,
It bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, and endures all things”
None of these can be achieved but by the help of the Holy Spirit, after which we can put away all sort of sinfulness and selfishness in order to fulfill the purpose of our existence which is to serve God.
Kindness
What exactly does it mean to be kind? Kindness refers to the act of being compassionate, caring, soft or tenderhearted and having a heart without any form wickedness. The Greek translation for kindness is “chrestos” which refers to an act of being useful where needed, especially to those whom you are capable of assisting. Therefore a person is said to be kind if he or she is very useful to those around without any sort of selfishness. A kind person is not selfish but selfless, a kind person must possess the first fruit of the spirit mentioned above which is “love” before he or she can possess the character of kindness because it involves love for those around you and a character of selflessness. True kindness has been taught in the book of Ephesians 4:31-32 which says
“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as Christ God has forgiven us”.
Gentlness
Gentleness is an essential fruit of the spirit and it’s equally as important as love and kindness mentioned above; one of the reasons the Holy Spirit was always symbolized as a Dove whenever he came in physical form as a form of parable telling us to be as “gentle as a dove”. The character of gentleness is basically the character of Jesus, hence being gentle means we are following in the footsteps of our lord Jesus Christ. The opposite of gentleness is harshness, rigidity, severity, strictness and so on. The book of Isaiah 40:11 tells us to be as gentle as a shepherd;
“He will feed his flock like shepherd.
He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart.
He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young”
In conclusion; though I was only able to talk about three out of the seven fruits of the Holy Spirit, I sincerely hope you’ve been blessed by this message. I do hope you enjoy the rest of your day and enjoy time with family.
Checking on my five F’s
Family
One of my core values in life is my family; family is a big part of my life which I cannot do without; from growing up to being educated about basic life survival skills and so on. I believe that a family that is supportive will bring about development and improvement of a person’s interpersonal relationship skills hence bringing about higher prospects for success now and in the future.
The type of family you come from determines how well you will succeed in the society out there; is your family the supportive type or a kind that constantly judges and reprimands you when mistakes are made? A supportive family will ensure that you feel loved irrespective of challenges or failure while; this is the kind of family I have and I’m so grateful to be a part of it. My family has always been a supportive one from my childhood up to this point; the constant love, the encourage, financial support and advise gotten exactly when I need it. Family is everything and I don’t think I can ever do anything without them; more reasons I’d ensure I get married to a person that understands the family concept so that my children will be raised in the right way as well while showering them with all the love they can get hash tag family.
Future
According to oxford dictionary Don’; future refers to time regarded as ”still to come”; which means we all have a whole life ahead of us where we have no idea what awaits us or what’s gonna happen, which is why we all work hard with the aim of having a very promising future. As a person I strongly believe that great future awaits me which is why I’m doing all things within my power to ensure that all things fall in place exactly as expected; from investing in myself by learning new skills and reading, meeting new people, engaging in various financial investments and so on just to ensure the future doesn’t come faster than expected.
I’m a strong believer in the BCH project and how it intends to change our lives in a very unique way as compared to other crypto projects out there. I see BCH reaching $1500 and passing this threshold pretty soon just like it previously did, which is why I’d continue to invest in this project by adding more BCH to my portfolio as a means of securing my future, after all what I’m talking about in this section of my five F’s is my “future”. The only thing stopping people from investing in this platform is doubt and constant fear of a price crash which I strongly believe can never happen because we have people like @marcdemesel and SimonBruzzi who will constantly support this project and stop it from going down the drain.
In life we sometimes focus on certain things which we do not need and do not realize we’re doing the wrong thing until it’s too late; for instance spending is necessary but at the same time we need to save, instead we keep on postponing savings and end up buying things which we do not need in a bid to impressive our friends but wouldn’t realize we’re forcing ourselves to meet up to a standard we cannot afford. I’m a strong believer of investing in oneself by learning new skills, attending seminars on self-development, meeting new people, and sometimes applying for a job without much pay can be a good step because it’s a stylish opportunity for you to meet new people and proceed to new levels in life. These are some of the ways I know I can invest in my future and I’m beginning to work on them already.
Finance
This is one aspect of my life which I need to take very seriously; I lost my job during the corona virus pandemic and it has been tough ever since because I haven’t been able to secure a new job; its basically hell out here. Though I’ve got a little cryptocurrency in my portfolio which I’m using to trade on Binance coupled with some side businesses which I’m into; these cannot be sufficient for my daily living considering that daily feeding alone takes up a large amount of finance plus the miscellaneous and unplanned expenses that comes somewhere between. More reasons I decided this platform will be the best bet for me if I intend to increase my finances to a point where I’d be able to attain financial security provided the random rewarder visits me pretty soon.
Friends
I believe that the kind of friends you have will determine the kind of person you become which is why I’m always careful about the kind of people I relate with; it is a popular saying that your friends will make or mar you. I feel blessed to have good and genuine friends around me; @Princessbusayo all we’ve got is good vibes and lots of love, no jealousy, negativity or competition between us; we constantly support each other in times of need and that’s what friendship should be all about. Though I do not make much friends, the little I have are always there to support me whenever I’m in need.
Fun
I love having fun in every way possible especially during the weekends; I hang out with friends on Friday night, we go clubbing and have as much fun as possible while taking the usual liquor and a little bit of pepper soup with chicken or catfish while sometimes dancing along to the music being played in the background. Plus there’s the usual football league which I enjoy watching with friends because watching this alone can be sometimes boring hence I’d rather hang gout with friends whenever I intend to do this as my own special way of having fun when necessary.
This is a challenge I decided to write about in my own way based on @Ruffa post about her five F’s; you can also do the same as a means of having fun.
Enjoy the rest of your day and have fun.

My October goals
Hello peoples; I sincerely hope you’re having as much fun as you can. \As a newbie on read.cash, I’ve been thinking about what I intend to achieve on this platform for some time now but it’s a bit difficult for me to decide considering I only wrote my first article yesterday and I have no idea when I’m going to receive my first visit from the random rewarder. Though I’m as patient as ever but I feel I should have well defined goals instead of simply wandering around this platform without a specified direction. Though I was advised to simply flow with whatever comes my way since this is my first month but it’s an advice I wouldn’t take. Hence I decided I came up with a little bit of something which I think is attainable within a short period of time. Based on my observation, I realize that this platform brings out a lot of hidden potentials in the users of this platform hence I’m going to utilize this opportunity to be the best I can be in terms of writing while also trying my best impress @therandomrewarder perhaps he will look unto me with favour.
Since I don’t have any earnings for now and I have no idea when my earnings will begin to manifest hash tag the random rewarder; I decided I will be working towards achieving certain goals which this platform has already set before us; for instance gaining followers and sponsoring people or maybe even being in the top upvoters list provided I’m able to make enough money from writing. Though I know it wouldn’t be easy but I intend to start small and make progress gradually as time passes.
Below are the things I intend to achieve in the month of October;
More subscribers
Though I am like three weeks old on these great platform with only four subscribers which I think should be better but it’s less than my expectation mostly because I have not been that active on the platform. I initially had plans of interacting with more people but I’ve been very busy with work hence it was quite the opposite; I interacted less than I should have done
I wish to sponsor some set of people this month
With the little earnings on read cash I want to sponsor at least 10 active users this month of October even though I don’t have any yet but I always wish I to sponsor people of which I strongly believe it will sure come to past in the remain 24 days of this month.
I will write at one article per day
I will consider this a great achievement if I’m able to write one article every day. I know it will be a difficult task for me but I will try my best to achieve this goal. I see it as an opportunity for me to improve m writing skills as well as my ability to imagine because I believe a good writer must have a good imagination in order to write effectively. This is my goal and I believe I will achieve it.
I want to interact more on read cash
Interaction is one of the basic keys to achievement on this platform which is why I decided I’m going to be interacting with more people on this platform. At least ten to fifteen people’s post in a day is not too difficult, after which I may increase my engagement on this platform depending on how well I’m received. I’m a very friendly person and I make friends easily hence I believe that interaction shouldn’t be a problem for me. After all interaction is fun, meeting new people is fun.
BCH
I’m working towards earning about 0.2 BCH for now provided the randomrewarder notices me on time. I’m still new here and this is my second article hence I think it’d be safe to not aim for a very high amount or I may not be able to attain it. 0.2 BCH is a small start but I believe I can get better with time provided my statistics on this platform becomes higher and our dear rusty visits my articles within the twinkle of an eye.
Others
I’m working towards attaining some BCH and swapping some of them to EBEN over a long period of time so that I can stake them on Benswap for more profits provided EBEN price remains favorable.
My thoughts
Being on this platform is an amazing opportunity to earn BCH which I intend to utilize fully by being active, constantly interacting with people and saying yes to writing every day. IO believe my writing skills will improve as time passes and I will unlock my hidden potential as I stay longer on this platform.
The above mentioned goals may seem impossible but I’d try my best to ensure I do not leave any of them untouched. In the case where I can’t achieve them all, I believe 80% out of 100 will be acceptable.
Introduction to hadamson
My introduction
Hello dear peeps, I’m Hadamson, a newbie on this platform with no idea about what makes rusty tick but everyone seems to be talking about him lately. Though I have been on this platform for over three weeks but I’m still in the learning process; reading through articles and interacting with anyone I come across while making new friends simultaneously having fun.
Writing has always been my dream hence knowing about this amazing platform is a great plus for me because it means I’m having the opportunity to get paid while writing, plus it will be an amazing opportunity for me to improve my writing skills. I still have a lot of things to learn and I believe I’d get better as I continue to write on this amazing platform.
Why read.cash?
With the few time spent on this platform which is barely two weeks; I’ve been able to see that this platform has a lot of prospects; getting paid in cryptocurrency is really amazing, and not just any crypto but BCH which is one of currencies in the crypto verse with high prospects. I got to know about sep-20 tokens, smartBCH and the smartchain network with the little time I’ve spent here. I believe I will be exposed to even more opportunities as I spend more time on read.cash.
How I got to know about crypto
I’ve always been interested in learning about any means to invest in the crypto-world, but I got scammed about six years ago by a random individual who claims to buy and sell bitcoin at a cheap rate. Since I was a total noob at the time, I didn’t realize I could have bought bitcoin from an exchange using my debit card or by other means. I sent the person a certain amount of money and my money went just like that; he continued to claim he was going to send me bitcoin but he didn’t and eventually didn’t pick my calls. I got smarter after this and began to do my personal research which made me learn a lot about the crypto world in a very short period of time. Though I’m not a professional at the time of writing but I know a lot of things about the crypto world and I’m still learning. I’m open to learning new things every day and I’m very open to new crypto opportunities.
I felt so bad when I was scammed that I almost totally lost interest in anything cryptocurrency related because I always thought it was scam, until I got the courage to do more research and realized I could handle my own wallet myself and buy from a trusted exchange, That was the beginning of my crypto journey. I continued to do more research about ow to earn cryprocurrencies online until I came across a certain person with username @kristofferquincy who encouraged to keep on trying my best; life really is full of ups and downs. He explained the concept of read.cash and what makes @therandomrewarder tick. I’m here with hopes that I can achieve my dream which is to earn BCH from writing on this amazing platform which simultaneously being exposed to other opportunities within this platform.
What are my interests?
SPORT
I’m a great lover of sports especially football. In fact I’d rather spend the whole staring at my TV screen while watching football instead of watching those overrated movies. I only watch movies whenever I feel like sleeping; almost like my own version of a sleeping dose. I love to watch certain football leagues, some of which includes:
English premier league, Champions leagues, Germany bundesliga, France league, Italian serie A, B and C, Brazil leagues and so on. I love watching table tennis as well.
What are my hobbies?
Since hobbies are simply things you enjoy doing and could go all day long doing them without feeling tired or stressed even just for a little bit. Travelling has always been my thing; I love traveling a lot, in fact I had already set a goal to travel to about 20 states within six months in the year 2020. This goal was set and was about to be executed when the corona virus pandemic set in and it was totally cancelled. Though this plan has been csncelled , the dream lives on and I believe I will still be able to achieve it; this time it will be better since I will already have BCH earnings to cover up most of the expenses. I’m hoping the pandemic goes away as fast as it came so we all can go back to our usual lifestyle…
This is my own version of an introductory article and I sincerely hope I’d be highly welcome to this platform. This is the beginning of my journey here and I need all the luck I can get…
Enjoy your day, have fun and make more BCH .
