I find it hard to engage online. Where is the real me? Because I know I am not myself again 🙈 Nevertheless, I know who I am. I am strong and I won't be negatively influenced by whatever want to hold me down **By** **God's grace.** Wait! Did you noticed the word I bolded? "By God's grace" Do you know that word is also associated with being positive? You feel relieved and assured with that word. Isn't it? To me, it is a BIG YES for me. Still finding it hard to come up with a topic and I was using the moment to engage on other articles perhaps I would find an idea. Ta-da!! I found one. How? I just visited @HappyBoy 's article titled "Speak Positivity" and he tagged me in respect to one of my articles on Noise.Cash. I found the idea on what to write immediately. Thank you dear for that 😉 Here is the post I made

The word "By God's grace" was taught me by my Dad. When we were very young, I have always heard him adding that word to his sentence and before I know it, God has been protecting and blessing him. There is power in that word and it is an assurance that all will be well no matter what happen. He said one-day to his children *"Whenever you are saying or planning something, always add 'By God's Grace' because it is not by your power".* Ever since then, I have always used this word that I have come to get used to it. It means a positive thing to me that I just have to involve God into my matter. One thing about life is that you must be positive in all things. Don't give room for negativity but always be optimistic. **Though we propose but God disposes.** I and my friend were discussing in my room yesterday about living a better life. I jokingly told her I would finish my Masters before getting married. She screamed but I laughed and told her what I want for myself. I want a good husband I want beautiful children (I said two because I want two children) I want to travel to different places I want my children to study abroad According to her, she want to train her children abroad too. After everything, I told her to add "By God's Grace" because I believe God and if He choose not to make all happen, it is best known to Him. **ABOUT THE ABOVE POST** I don't know why many people have limited themselves to something they could have achieved if they had studied or worked hard for it. They end up saying "whatever I have, no Problem". Must you settle for less? When I entered school, many negative words said concerning courses and trying to instill fear in me. My friends were even scared but do you know one thing about me? I am always sure of myself and what I can do. I don't do things on my own- this is something I have understood in my life. Without putting God first, mehn, it is in vain. I will tell my friends "Even though it is difficult and tough to other people, it can't be tough for me because I believe my God is on the throne". Since then, I am always positive with all the courses and I have always succeed without any carryover. All praise to God. During my first semester 300 level examination, there was this course we wrote. I read and prepared for it but when I saw the questions, I couldn't write anything for 30 minutes. This has never happened to me. I was smiling within me and was like ***"Buzhay (my nickname), is this how you won't write anything? Write something na!"*** I silently said another little prayer apart from the one I do say before beginning. **"God, I know you have always helped me, by your grace, help me"** I did the ones I know and submitted because there was nothing coming forth. I left the exam hall unhappy. When I got home, my other colleagues in the same department with me were all lamenting and complaining about the course. One guy said, "I should just be given an E, I am okay". Another guy said he wants D. No one was positive. Suddenly, they asked what I want to have? I smiled and said "Whatever God gives me, I am okay" When the result came out, I was so happy and I knew God took over. My father gave me a word that has been my backbone till today. When I am traveling, I say **"By God's Grace, I would return safely".** No matter what I say or want to do, that word is always included and God has never failed me. Always be positive in your dealings. Even if the situation is out of your control, be positive because by His grace, you will overcome. There is nothing as good as trusting in God and leaving Him to handle those matters of yours. He is your Father and He is responsible for His Children's welfare. Commit all to Him and stay positive always. Thanks for reading |August 20, 2021|
