My Valentine

I’m trying to explain that I want you and that I need you 
and that I get lost in wonderful thoughts 
every time I think about you. 
And each time I whisper “I love you”, 
I’m trying to remind you that you’re 
the best thing that has ever happened to me.

You support me, encourage me, and bring out the best in me.

I trust you and feel completely safe with you,
so I can share with you my hopes, my dreams,
and even secrets I've never told anyone else.
You've created a refuge for me to come to
when I need to escape from the hard edges of life.

Our time together is a gift; you’re interesting and warm and fun!
And when I need to talk and share, 

I think of you, friend; you're the one. We’re always true and real together. We have no reason to pretend.
I'm thankful that you're in my life, my trusted, cherished Valentine.

My Future wife

(Just been sitting down thinking about life. ..mmm it's just amazing; I sat down with a Pen and a Paper and this is what I came up with...I hope she is out there). 

...》》 

In this world full of hurt and pain, Love’s a curious thing, it often comes disguised, 
Look at love the wrong way, it goes unrecognized, Into all lives falls pain and sorrows,I promise together, we will meet all tomorrows.

I promise to do my best to make you beam daily, so count on many surprises. Your smile will be my priority. I get weak knees when anybody smiles, so just imagine the effort I will make to be the source of yours.I promise I will always look at you with the same adoration as I did the moment I realized I loved you. I promise to try to ignite the same sparkle in your eyes I see when you’re surprised, inspired, motivated or when you are about to lean in to kiss me.

I promise to hold your hand when we’re 90 years old with the same liveliness that I did when I crossed that line to hold yours for the first time. I vow never to let the excitement of dating me die down; I will surprise you with the location, the reason or the activity itself. I promise to keep you guessing where we’re going next. I promise to do my best always to interest you. I will keep reinventing myself, gaining new hobbies, new knowledge and new interests to keep you — and myself — entertained.

Even in grief and darkness, I promise to show you the different shades of the dark, and to help you find the tiny rays of light that are always there if you seek them. After all, there’s always worse than worst and better than best; everything is relative.

I promise to strive to be a role model for our children. I want both you and them to see me as a source of motivation. I want to inspire them in the same way that my father inspires me. I promise to do my best to love your family as you love them and to be by their side as much as I am by yours. I promise to always listen to you when you simply just want to be heard; when you want someone to vent to about something or when you want advice.

The smile on your face would let me know that you need me there will be that truth in your eyes saying you never leave me the touch of your hands would say you'd catch me whenever i fall. These words I have written, speak of my love for you, from my lips these words spoken, shall always ring true,when you are lost, and can’t see the light,my love will be a beacon, shining ever so bright.

I vow to challenge you to challenge yourself for the better; to make you think differently. I promise to try to feed off of your illuminating energy that will inspire me to do the same with myself. I will do my best to ensure that being bored never crosses your
mind.

It would just be an Endless Abyss.


Husband to be.....

Signed,

Classy Woman

Women keep hearing over and over from guys in different situations that men want to date and have relationships with a classy woman . Indeed, being called “classy” is an ultimate compliment to a woman. But, what does it really mean being classy? 

Just take a look at most of the men’s dating profiles, and you will see that practically all of them want to meet and date a woman
who has “class.” I truly believe that just like in the case of distinction between flirting and regular conversation, being classy is not in the “what” but in the “how.” It’s how you act, how you carry yourself, how you express yourself and how you live your life that determines class. However, if you believe that you belong to that minority of women who are open to constructive self-criticism and you are willing to take a few practical steps toward becoming more classy.

Following temporary, mediocre fashion trends and fads certainly does not add to being classy. This doesn’t mean that you have to look boring or that you always have to blend in, but it does mean that you should not look like someone who is dying for attention for those who are around her at any cost. A sense of fashion is an integral part of class. While having an eclectic style may be considered “cool,” if you want to come across as a classy dresser, you can hardly go wrong with a business/casual look or a simple, clean cut, fitting (but not too fitting) attire. Simple, straight colors (white,Yellow, cyan, black) flatter most women. That's something I call being a classy woman means having "Real Style."

Being a classy woman means being "Elegant".... Elegance is the manner in which a woman carries her self in just about every situation. Elegance is in her voice, movement and body language, manner of speech, the way she stands sits, and responds to other people around her. These traits, such as voice, and a walk – are part of our nature, while other elements of elegance, such as our interpersonal skills are strongly linked to our upbringing.
In a conversation(elegance used in a sentence)

X says : Hey gorgeous...am smitten by your elegance! Just exquisite! wouldn't mind a conversation with you perhaps it's inevitable after lightening thunder stikes. So do u mind or should I walk by Again?

Y: (laughs)...Thank you am humbled. .I don't mind.

X: I liked your elegance, its unique and outstandin, well am impressed with your decorum. You have definitely summed up what beauty is.

Y: Thank you dear.
(Just an example)
#JeremyGodsann

A woman who has true class and strong sense of self does not need to run around and tell everyone how smart and successful she is, whether it’s in “real” life. This urge to validate yourself through bragging is a clear sign of insecurity and of not being classy in both men and women. She lets her actions, rather than words, prove to others who she is, and she is not in a hurry to announce to everyone around how great she is. She knows that success is More Attractive when coupled with Modesty and humbleness.

Dine with a KING!

One day recently, I was reading my Bible and eating breakfast at the same time. I put a bite of burger in my mouth and chewed it. I had the fork raised to put another bite in my mouth when the Holy Spirit said quietly, “You haven’t finished the food in your mouth yet.” Startled, I realized that in my distraction, I wasn’t even paying attention to the food I was eating. I wasn’t enjoying it. It was just a mindless ritual, a task to get out of the way until I moved on to the next thing. I put the fork down. One of the principles of Take back Your Temple is to “appreciate every bite.” Now,the reason for the principle started out based on biology. The brain has a built-in appetite regulator called the "Appestat” that kicks in about 20 minutes after you start eating. It tells you when you have had enough to eat. So if you are eating your meals in less time than that, it is possible that you are eating two or three times the amount that your body needs. However, this time I saw this principle from a different perspective. In the lesson commentary, it gave three reasons why worship had become meaningless to God’s people. You’ll see in a moment how it relates to eating: 1. Forgetting about the Life-Giver. The people were so caught up in their daily lives, pursuing their personal goals and dealing with life challenges that they did not acknowledge God’s presence or thank Him for their provision. 2. Failing to consult God about their daily decisions. They relied on their own understanding or everyone else but God to decide what actions to take. 3. Failing to spend time with God. They didn’t take time out of their day to seek the Lord about His plan and purpose for their lives, or for private prayer, praise and worship. After thinking about this, I put my Bible aside. I decided to have breakfast with my King of Kings. I put a bite of food into my mouth, thinking, “God, I am so grateful that You are with me and that You never leave me nor forsake me.” I finished that bite and went on to the next one, remembering the Scripture, “Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you—yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Is. 41:10). Several moments passed, in which I ate quietly, finishing and appreciating one bite at a time before moving on to the next. Finally, with the last bite came the thought, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.” It was one of the most enjoyable breakfasts I had had in a long time! Then I thought, “What if I could always think of my meals as an opportunity to dine with the King of kings?” While it is true that I pray before I eat, it had become a ritual, another task to get out of the way before moving on to the next thing. It was sobering to realize this. I was convicted of taking my Lord for granted in this area. So I repented and said this prayer: “Dear Precious Lord—Thank You so much for having breakfast with me. Thank You for loving me enough to provide for all of my needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I am sorry for not truly appreciating the food that You have provided for me today. You have provided the clothes on my back and the roof over my head. I thank You for saving me, Lord. I thank You for giving me the opportunity to experience a real, daily relationship with you, not engage in meaningless rituals. You created me fearfully and wonderfully. With every meal, Lord, I want to dine with You. I don’t want to just eat anymore. I want to upgrade my eating experience to dining. To me, dining means that I am eating with a friend. And what closer friend do I have than You? So dine with me, Lord. Each meal, tell me which foods we should have on the menu, and I will prepare them. I will set a quiet a place for us so that I can hear You speaking to me. Dine with me, Lord. Empty me of myself and fill me with Your presence. That will truly satisfy me—spirit,mind, and body. Amen.” I challenge you to dine with the King on your next meal. Not just eat— dine . After all, you are eating with a friend! God bless you this day as you dine with your King!

Life style and Love

Many a times this is what people go through. ..just know that you are not alone. ...but this is your story. ... I’ve recently been researching (about Men and Women)- And People are having a bit of a difficult time, which the more they think about it, the more ridiculous it seems. ------*----------it all starts here-----*--------- Nothing gives you energy or drains you of it the way love does. When things are going great, you feel full of life, vibrant, ready to take on the world.But when things aren’t going well, everything seems like a chore. Everything feels like it takes an enormous effort to accomplish. Waking up and getting out of bed in the morning can even seem like a daunting task. When it comes to love, if it isn’t reciprocated — even if only not to an equal extent — it’s your own personal hell. There is only one thing worse than coming to grips with the fact that the one person in your life who is your priority only sees you as an option. Love is the ego’s best friend and worst enemy. It can both reinforce all the great things we believe about ourselves and go on to tear it all down.When you love someone, you are opening yourself up to him or her. You are making yourself vulnerable,showing this person a side of you very few people ever get to see. Treating dates like options can sometimes be a bit of a pain. Sometimes, you have to wait a week or more between getting a girl’s number and meeting up with her. You can’t plan really complicated dates, and you often need to have some decent phone game to keep the emotional momentum going in between meetups, but in the end, it’s a much more effective strategy. Eventually, as long as she’s attracted to you, she WILL meet up with you in the end. And the hard-to-get, busy girls are usually the most fun anyways. The worst thing you could possibly do after discovering, to the person you love, you’re only an option is to try and distract yourself completely. That isn’t what you ought to do. If you need a few days of rampaging then be my guest, but be sure to slow down afterward and deal with the situation. Slow down. Find the lessons that need to be learned. Take some time to get reacquainted with the world around you, the physical world that exists outside of your head and move on. It won’t be easy, but life isn’t easy. It never will be. All you can do is continue working toward a better life, a better reality, a better world. And, of course,do your best to enjoy every step along the way. Never allow yourself to be someone’s option —especially not his or her second option.Have some respect for yourself and find someone who understands your true worth, how you deserve to be loved. Men:- To be a truly valuable man, you have to become one. It’s not about making a woman feel inferior, but instead raising your own worth. You have to honestly believe you’re a catch. You have to see yourself as deserving of a great partner. And you have to start thinking about what you want in a woman rather than just needing to be with a woman you barely know. Adios!

Its today or Never

It’s today or never She sat quietly. Not sure of what to say. She had so many thoughts in her mind that only God could understand. She was in this Mark X with a guy she met 5 months ago. Chris. She knew he loved her with all his being but then again time has taught her that love is not everything. Whether this was true or not, she promised herself she will take her sweet time and trust the universe that what was meant to be will be. “Don’t force love,” the words rang in her mind. “Sue, you haven’t answered me.” Silence. “Babe, what’s wrong?” She knew nothing was wrong but one thing she was sure about was if she was going to be honest with this man, one of two things would happen. Either their friendship was going to end (or whatever this was) or this man would think of her as a heartless woman. The latter was true, if her current relationship was anything to go by. But she didn’t want this new man to realize how cold her heart had become lest she loose such a wonderful soul. He asked again if she really loved him or she had just friend zoned him. “Sue you know how much I love you and if I am to be honest with you, I have become so attached to you that I can no longer accept you are busy entertaining me while you always say you have a boyfriend. Sometimes I doubt whether it’s true you are engaged to David. How come whenever you want any help it’s me you always come to? If you guys really love each other why did you allow me to be the first man to make love to you? Your wedding is a month away and you haven’t answered my question. Sue, do you really think David is the man you would like to spend the rest of your life with?” Tears blinded her eyes. She bit her lower lip in order to refrain herself from talking as this would allow the tears to flow freely. This was normal whenever she was faced with a tough decision. She felt overwhelmed and immediately asked Chris to stop at the Petrol station next to her house. He agreed. She alighted and headed straight to the washrooms. Chris was busy talking to the attendants. She opened the door and sat at the toilet seat. She realized she had been crying and realized it made her feel better nothing like what David would always say that crying makes one weak. She wiped the tears off and looked herself in the mirror. She saw what a beauty she had become and how her skin had become soft. This amazed her. Made her feel exceedingly good. Perhaps it’s the new lotion Chris bought her last weekend, she thought. She took out her phone to check what time it was;( Two messages). She dreaded opening them fearing she might have been seen by one of David’s friend when Chris came to pick her from work. She wasn’t in any mood of arguing. She looked at the mirror again and reminded herself that there’s nothing she cannot handle. She pressed the open button and the texts opened. Chris: babe, are you fine? You have taken too long. David: I arrived home safely. Talk to you tomorrow. Mum says hi. She decided she would not reply David’s text. She texted Chris and told him that she was fine and on her way home and she would see him on Monday. On her bed she thought of everything that has been happening in her life and the big event that’s going to happen in a month’s time. She thought of Chris’ question. For a moment she was convinced she was not sure whether she really wanted the wedding. She looked at the engagement ring and the bracelet she wore on the same hand, that Chris gave her on her 24th birthday, and knew for sure she was in a fix. Perhaps it’s what they meant when they said ‘when it rains, it pours.’ She promised herself she is not going to think about these 2 men until on Monday when David was around. “I’ll see you after work. Eagle’s eye restaurant. At 5, don’t forget,” David said. “Okay babe, see you then,” she hung up the phone. She had just had a confrontation with her colleague because she said her perfume had a strong scent and it made her develop a headache. The colleague had told her to stop being moody like a pregnant woman. Moody. Yes, that’s who she has become of late. She thought of the woman who stepped on her in church yesterday and how she shouted at her despite the woman saying how sorry she was. What could be her problem? She wondered. Her periods had missed and it’s been a week now. “Is being moody a sign of pregnancy?” she goggled. That and many other characteristics were signs of pregnancy. Her heart missed a beat. Also, it could be a sign of depression. She decided to pass by the chemist and do what was to be done on her way to meet David. Two hours later, she was sitted in the restaurant. She decided this time she was going to ask David if he really wanted the wedding. She had two choices: either to lie forever or say the truth once and for all. “It’s today or never,” she told herself. She ordered two pizzas and as the waiter approached she saw David smiling at her. Her level of adrenaline rose and as she hugged David, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. David sat and laughed at her greediness. She smiled back and with tears in her eyes, she knew she did not want it to end this way. “David, you have to know, I am eating for two”.

Undying Love

This special feeling lights my soul on fire,

It burns with an incredible delight, affectionate desire,

How lucky I am to have this in my life,

A most esteemed feeling amazingly nice.

Let me name this feeling, it’s all about you,

It’s my unending, undying love for you,

I knew it was special from the very start,

It envelopes my body, my core, my heart,

A shining, uplifting, persistent feeling,

It embraces and warms my entire being.

In this world full of hurt and pain,

Love’s a curious thing, it often comes disguised,

Look at love the wrong way, it goes unrecognized, 

Into all lives falls pain and sorrows,

I promise together, we will meet all tomorrows.

These words I have written, speak of my love for you,

From my lips these words spoken, shall always ring true,

When you are lost, and can’t see the light,

My love will be a beacon, shining ever so bright.
