My sister is good at surprises. *“There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man's shoulder.”* Charles Morgan Right from when we were young, my sister has always loved getting surprises from friends and families.

One thing I know about my…
Take these steps so you don't have to go into debt. *“Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.”* Henry Wheeler Shaw Debt is the money you owe to a third party, usually a bank, to a credit card provider or some other type of lender; like someone having a lot of cryptos in his wallet. When you borrow or loan crypto or money to purchase something, for example, a home or a car, you automatically get into debt, or when you use a credit…
It's been six days since I posted here. *"Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day."* Dalai Lama I checked my blog here and I saw that it's been six days since I posted last and I feel bad about it. I have indeed been away for a while but yesterday, I decided to return and keep my blog busy again. The truth is that I have been so busy with the Dreemport challenge that I didn't give time here just because I want to keep topping the engagement…
Sacrifices of praise. *“God is always worthy of praise. And praise benefits us, too. When we praise God, we make room in our hearts and minds for Him to come in. Praise lifts our spirits and drives away the devil. So sing, dance, or lift you hands – do whatever you can to praise the Lord!”* Christian Quotes https://www.christianquotes.info/top-quotes/20-glorious-quotes-about-praise/ Gradually, we are moving onto the end of the year like that and we would be wishing ourselves…
An opportunity for them. *“Embrace the week with enthusiasm. Be alert for new opportunities. Utilize them. You will succeed. Have a great week ahead.”* The incident that happened to me on Monday night while travelling was something I never expected but I escaped the dungeon from a perverted stranger who wanted to help me which I thought was a miracle from God, but he was after his gain. The escape was shocking to me as I kept thinking about how God loved me so much while in…
29 days remaining. *"On one hand, I want to say, ‘Relax! These days are just numbers on a calendar. The world won’t implode if you don’t accomplish everything on your to-do list before the end of December.’ On the other hand, I’m thinking, ‘Use these weeks as motivation to push hard and finish what you can, because making progress in anything is a great way to end the year.’"* Fillingthejars When we entered the last month of the year yesterday, I looked back and remembered…
It´s important to set future goals. *“A man without a vision is useless.”* Princessbusayo **A clear intention to live.** As someone like me, I have future goals. Do you?

Give more value than you receive. *“Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.”* Roy T. Bennett. Hey! It's Monday and the start of a new week. Are we already getting ready for the rest of the day? As for me, I am super ready and I love the fact that I…
The wedding was a success. *“Three things you shouldn’t lose this week; your faith, your courage, and your smile. Happy new week.”* Anonymous The last time I wrote an article here was on Friday and that was because I woke up early, as usual, to write the post before we begin the journey to another state where my friend would be getting married. The journey was over 8 hours and it made me weak but I got no choice. I went with a friend and it made the trip fun as we were…
Why knowing ourselves is important. *“The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world.”* Toni Collette It's always good to introspect and know ourselves more than how others would do. There is a need to do some self-awareness and see what we are lacking in our lives. One of the importance of knowing who we truly are is for us to see the worth and value in us so that others' opinions about us wouldn't matter, especially one which has to…
Why do we make bad financial choices? *“Financial peace isn’t the acquisition of stuff, it’s learning to live on less than you make so you can give money back and have money to invest. You can’t win until you do this.”* Dave Ramsey First things first, the world we are in, is uncertain. We do not know what tomorrow might be and many times we are caught unaware, unprepared, and unplanned. Being financially stable or balanced is more important than ever and this factor is bound…
I saw interview questions to answer. *“Follow your heart, listen to your inner voice, stop caring about what others think.”* Roy T. Bennett While moving around this platform yesterday morning, I bumped into @Coolmidwestguy ´s article which I got to know was his birthday too.

One…
A day well spent. *“Every day is a good day. There is something to learn, care and celebrate.”* Amit Ray Like I said yesterday, the day was bright for me, making me believe it would be the best. It was one amazing day I had yesterday and all thanks to God too.

I love to show…

It leaves me no option but to feel for her. *“Every day is a gift. But some days are packaged better.”* Sanhita Baruah Yesterday started well for me as I woke up very early in the morning to attend to the chores in my room so I could start working online and engage for a few hours before finding what to prepare for breakfast. Recently, I don´t skip breakfast like I used to do before and once I have eaten that, I make sure to endure till around 3 pm so that by the time I…
Should I have lied to cover my sister up? *"Do something today that your future self will thank you for."* Sean Patrick Flanery One thing about lies is that once you say it, you will have to find more lies to cover up your deed and if not, you will regret ever starting with a lie in the first place. People will say if you say the truth, no one will kill you but trying to cover up with lies will tarnish your image and reputation. It's better to say the truth and let it end…

Shultz https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/making-progress Should I say these past few days are tight for me? No! I don't want to say that since I know I am still doing my best each day.

Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.”* Haruki Murakami https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/future Last Saturday, I took my chair outside for fresh air and to continue working on my phone when a lady sitting beside me asked me for my opinion on an issue she wanted my advice on because such an experience happened to one of her…

He said he is ready. Are you ready too? *“It's Friday! Time to go make stories for Monday.”* Anonymous Another Friday is here and we are still standing strong and grinding. Many of us do not have a choice but to get up and work hard to give ourselves and our families the best life we want. If it is possible for money to start raining down from heaven just like manna dropped in the days of the Israelites, it would have been a better life because everything we want, we would…

An unexpected happened yesterday. *“Life is not what you expect: it is made up of the most unexpected twists and turns.”* Ilaiyaraaja https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/ilaiyaraaja-quotes Perhaps if I had heard such news earlier yesterday, I wouldn't have been online but I just finished visiting 20 articles on this platform in the morning when I saw a message from my younger sister that we lost a relative. She died of cancer. I never expected her to die just like that. When…
I love to be challenged. *“Sometimes it's like: If something terrifies you, you should totally do it BECAUSE it terrifies you.

Stop bragging, please. *“How different would people act if they couldn't show off on social media? Would they still do it?”* Donna Lynn Hope https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/bragging In life, it is not a bad thing with having a healthy self-esteem and celebrating your achievement.

It's a beautiful Monday already. Woke up feeling energized and ready for today's task. Already in front of my laptop as I want to engage on Readcash first before moving onto Hive. Always remember that God is the source of everything and we should be grateful for all we have, no matter how small or big it is. Ability to sleep is a blessing Ability to eat is a blessing Ability to laugh is a blessing Ability to walk around is a blessing Ability to pray is a blessing We have…
Today is Sunday and a new week. I had to do an online service today and so, I didn't go to church but I was glad joining others to worship God online. It was really interesting. Here is fried potato 🥔 and egg. Power supply decided to surprise us. They brought the light last night around 9 pm and it's 1:55 pm, they haven't taken it. This is really surprising because something like this has never happened in my almost four years of living in the city.
We are not perfect. Just doing our best. Do you believe that no one is perfect? Yes, no one is! Everyone is only trying their best and working towards perfection. To be perfect means to be without fault or mistakes. I have never seen anyone on this earth that hasn't made any mistakes or has no fault in them. No matter how beautiful and intelligent we may be, there is something called disorder in us. We would always exhibit that trait anytime and anywhere and this trait would…
After eating boiled potatoes and fried egg in the afternoon for lunch, I went for fruits — Oranges for dinner. I don't need to eat anything again until tomorrow.
I had a dream and it came to reality. https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-photography-of-woman-sleeping-914910/ I still do not know the meaning of the dream I had two days ago. They say dreams come to pass and I hope this is for the good. I slept and in my dream, I damaged someone's torchlight and I tried fixing it back but it didn't work. I woke up to pee and while I was holding my torchlight, it fell and was dismantled. Thank God I was able to fix it back and it was…
Give us our daily bread. *“The Lord is close to everyone who calls out to him, to all who call out to him sincerely.”* Psalm 145:18 That title sounds familiar, right? That is part of a powerful prayer Jesus taught His disciples when they ask Him to teach them how to pray and so far in today's world, we have come to include such prayer into our lifestyles. *“Yesterday is history* *Today is mystery* *I'm just grateful for today.”* This was a song I listened to this morning…
