What Pillar?



The race had started. The fastest and he whose strength was far beyond any had been praised by the eyes of them as the winner. They had already concluded. There was one whose single step will cover metres. What could be done? Still the little one amongst them gathered much strength in another who decides the affairs of men. At the sound of gun they started. With their limbs they were as swift as leopards. The little one amongst them still gathered strength,  with the hope to get to the finish line. Still running. At least he played his own part having done all he could. In training, exercises, breathing and all you could ever think of.

What do you actually expect from this little one, amongst many champions who had already mastered the act of athletics ? Still running. Almost getting to the finishing line, and you know something happened. The presumed winners started losing their breath.

 Some had cramps, heart issues while others missed their lanes. What could have happened? Still running. Holding on to his lane the little one kept on running and at the end got to the finishing line. To his surprise he got there first.


Speaking of life and the different happenings,  one will actually be surprised. Where intellect, strength, might, wealth, connections, affluence, drugs, technology and whatever you might have thought of have failed. What stands?


Psalms 127:1


Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

In what have we put our confidence? Well, we have played our part, why then can’t we let God play His own part? Have we not wondered why all methods and ways seem not to work because we have actually built up pillars to rest on?

Ecclesiastes 9:11

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither is bread to the wise nor riches to men of intelligence and understanding nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

Man has always failed in promises and all. It is high time we learnt from our mistakes and start trusting God with our lives. In examinations, business, decisions and all that matters.

7 Reasons why you shouldn't delve into a relationship as a teenager.

Image
Relationships are really sweet. When I say relationship, I mean romance/love relationship. And if you’ll agree, teenage love relationships are usually the loveliest. You guys are still rocking your teen adventure, full of energy and glowing looks. Nowadays, it is somewhat strange to see an average 21st-century teenager who’s never been or isn’t in a love bond. They call it boyfriend and girlfriend and it’s been made so obligatory that there are some insecurities you feel when you are not in one. In my secondary school days, I could remember how guys who had no girlfriend were evacuated from groups in the class. Nobody wants to regard you if you’re not among. So, everyone seeks to have a love relationship even when they are far from the prerequisites. Having a love life in your teenage years isn’t a bad thing to do. Of course, there are folks whose relationship survived the storms and are now happily married. It works, but it’s almost rare. A lov...

Journey With My First Boo 2

Image
We started talking and he went to the issue of kissing but this time, he said he would not force me if I wasn't ready. I was deeply in love with him. (or so you thought) I closed all the windows so no one would see us and I said “Kiss me”. He kissed me and he said “let's have Sex”. {Insert mysterious tune here} I told him I was a Virgin and that there would be blood everywhere and he jokingly said, “how many tanks of blood do you have there?”. He told me there was a way he would do it and everything was going to be fine. I felt that I was ready and I was really going to have sex with him but I remembered something. My elder sisters got pregnant when they were teenagers and I was just 16 as at that time. I told him to stop that I wasn't ready. Then he stopped and told me he was leaving. That was the last time I saw him and the relationship ended. It has been 3 years since then and we haven’t been communicating. You can guess what my age is now, right. I am in my last l...
