Some Facts about Butterflies **1) Did you know that the wings of butterflies are transparent?** The wings of butterflies are actually transparent because their wings are covered with tiny scales. As they begin to age, these tiny scales fall off thereby leaving spots of transparency. **2) Did you know that butterflies are attracted to certain colours?** Butterflies are not attracted to all colours. There are colours that are more appealing to them. Butterflies are attracted to colours like red, yellow, orange, pink and purple blossoms. **3) Did you know that butterflies don't live for long?** A butterfly can live for only a few weeks. Say two to four weeks. Some specie of butterflies can only live for a few days like the blue butterflies. When they are alive, they use their energy to do majorly two things which are; to eat and to mate. **4) Did you know that butterflies taste with their feet?** Butterflies have taste receptors on their feet and this helps them to find their plants and locate food. When they land on the plant, they keep drumming on the leaves until the plant produces it's juice.

What God cannot do does not exist.
Trust in God To trust God is to fear Him. To acknowledge Him in everything. It means to put your confidence only in God. Proverbs 3:5 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. Jeremiah 17:7-8 says "Blessed is the man that triggers in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreader out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comet, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. " To trust God is to receive life from God. Psalms 49:6-7 and 10-11 talks about how people that put their trust in their riches, wreaths and AL sorts of things but that they will die and leave all of those things. Putting your trust in God is believing in Him wholeheartedly and completely. Don't go close to God when you are in bad times but stand with God both in good and in bad times. If you put your trust in man, man will surely fail you. A very good example is that of Job in Bible who never stopped believing in God and he received blessings from God more than what he had before. Indeed God has perfect timing. Things may not be working out the way you want but that is only because God is setting things in place for you. "Sometimes our prayers remain unanswered because God is simply working out the circumstances... " - Unknown Psalm 25:3 says that No one who hopes in God will ever be put to shame. WAYS TO TRUST GOD There are so many ways but only a few will be mentioned here; Surrender to God We should admit that God's way is the highest. We should acknowledge Him. When you surrender or cry to God, He will surely answer you. Psalm 55:17 says Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress and God hears my voice. Put God first in everything you do When we put God first in our life, He'd mks us a priority and He will not let us be put to shame. Proverbs 3:9-10 Run away from evil Proverbs 3:7 Run far away from things that are evil. Meditate on God's words God's word should be studied. The Bible says we should meditate on God's words day and night. Listen to the Holy Spirit We should let the Holy Spirit direct and lead us. John 14:26 Rest in God's love Lastly, we should rest in God's love. Remaining in Him both in good and bad times and He will never leave us. As we continue to remain in God, He will never put us to shame in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Life, Money and Happiness Do we truly become fulfilled in the end? A lot of us just want to make money. Only a few persons are following their hearts to find fulfillment. Won't blame them because it's what the world is turning into. Everything is becoming about money. Of course no one wants to remain poor or be poor. Everyone is aiming at not just having money but becoming "bastardly rich." A lot of persons prefer to be unhappy with a lot of money than be happy and comfortable with the average life. No one wants to be insulted because of their status in life. Everyone wants to have that money that gives respect or command respect with their money. Bad thing is that we're having too many unhappy rich people. Everything now is about money. What about fulfillment? what about happiness?
Wishes I didn't get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it - Stee Lauder Just like he said, if wishes were truly horses. Fact is you're never getting anywhere by just wishing. Hard work is what is going to pay. Hard work and determination is surely going to pay off one day so giving up now means continuing staying where you are and others keep moving. Do something for yourself today and do it well.
LIFE In this life, you'd get back what you surely put in. There's a saying that goes - "as you make your bed, so will you lie on it. " Question is - How are you making your bed today? What are you putting into life today? It's just like the way Karma works. Like when you do something wrong and think you've escaped the consequences but it just finds us later especially when we fail to apologize to the people we've offended or take correction for our actions. So how do you want your life to be?
Faults Or Good Qualities The word fault is an unattractive or unsatisfactory feature of a thing or person. The meaning of good good quality or qualities is unending, which means it has so many sides to it. It could mean someone that is sincere, honest, trustworthy, loyal, understanding, intelligent, etc. The list goes on and on. Question is, Which would you focus on? Good Qualities or Faults? It all depends on you. Any of them you decide to focus on will determine how it will affect and what things your choice will open for you or what doors it will close for you. Everyone at some point have had faults whether to themselves or to others. Will you then focus on the faults and limit yourself or will you focus on good qualities to come out way better? My advice today is - "Rather then dwell on faults, focus on good qualities."
How do you deal with feelings of resentment?
"The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, and it is beauty on his part to pass over transgression." Proverbs 19:11
"Take care that rage does not allure you into spiteful action... Be on your guard that you do not turn to what is hurtful." Job 36:18-21
To be a teacher, you must first be a student.
Obedience brings favour.
Be honest in all things.
Move on, no distractions.
We All Face Challenges... Challenges... There is no one on this earth that wouldn't go through it. Whether you're rich, poor, tall, short, fat, slim and so on, we'd all experience it one way or another. A lot of times, it'd look like there's no way out of it. We'd keep pondering over that situation or issue. Sometimes it'd give you sleepless nights, sometimes it may even cause ill health. But what is most important is how we get through those challenges coming our way or how we solve it. Some persons may decide to quit because they feel that there's no way out of such challenge but there's always a way out only if we try a little bit more. There's always a way out of a challenge and therefore giving up shouldn't be an option. Except where every angle has been critically analyzed and the only way is either not doing anything about it or handing it over to someone to do. But there's always a way out whether we like it or not.
Our Guardian Angel It is believed that when we're born, we all get a guardian angel who accompanies us through life's journey. This guardian angel knows us better than ourselves. This guardian angel protects us. This guardian angel stands by us no matter what we do or where we go. This guardian angel never leaves us even when everyone around us leaves. This guardian angel is there when we're happy, sad and alone. This guardian is always present with us. This guardian angel never leaves our side. This guardian angel does so much that we don't know yet... THANK YOU MY GUARDIAN ANGEL.
God's Direction I read somewhere that; "As humans, we would make mistakes and sometimes fail. This is because failure is God's way of moving us in another direction." That's why God's plan is most times different from ours. We keep wanting things at a particular time that God doesn't want us to have at that moment... Best thing is to wait on God in whatever we're doing... In the end we tend to have way more blessings than we anticipated for...
Anger brings doubt.
Seed sowing is painful physically but when we get God's blessings, we become joyful. We are the righteousness of God.
Indecision is the inability to decide on a course of action especially if two or more possibilities exist.
Our life is like a vapor that is dependent on God.
"Unburden Yourself" In our quest to become better, we make decisions that sometimes come back to hunt us. As a result, we become burdened by it or them. For some of us, fear is the source of our burden. HOW TO UNBURDEN YOURSELF You need to understand the the problem. You need to know the source of the problem. And then you need to look for the solution.
To maintain a friendship, integrity is needed.
The Betrayal All I could think of was how I'd found someone who's so perfect. Someone who's flaws I'd decided to learn to love. Just when I thought about everything being so beautiful like I was watching myself in a romantic movie. At some point, I thought to myself that he was too good to be true but our love or would I say my love for him had blinded so much that I didn't see the truth right in front of me. Ohhhh I keep telling myself how I'd been fooled for so long... #Sad_vibes
Why Are You Pretending? I'm the type of person that loves to be true and honest to myself as well as to people around me. Pretending will only bring pain in the end. You'd look back and say to yourself, why did I waste all of the time that would have brought happy memories but instead it'd only be pain that'll be there. Despite how the world is, it's better to be honest to yourself. Ask yourself if what you're doing makes you happy, if not; why then are you doing it? We find that a lot of persons do stuffs or keep pretending because of what they'll gain at the moment. There's a saying that goes "chop today, chop tomorrow. " Why think of only the present happiness? What about the future? Will you be satisfied in the future because of what you're doing now? Exploiting others, hurting others with your pretence... And for what? To what end? Making people believe that you're with them when within, you know it's just to get what you want and when you're done, you just leave. How do you even sleep when you know that all your smile with that person is all a lie... ...
