Smile when your heart is broken smile...
When your tears have floated smile..
In the bruises of your soul; smile...
When your future is unsure; smile..
When a thoughtful love has hurt you ; smile
At the fear that surrounds you;smile..
In insecurities..smile
In the unbearable pain in your soul; smile...
The midst of loneliness;smile...

This is the way to forgive...
This is the way to believe...

And now...i think my life is broken...

Shush my dear, don't think this way.
It's a lesson for you to learn
The truly you smile the stronger you become.
The truly you smile the healing has began.

It's about time for things to change.
See yourself the way you ought to be...

I hope this blesses a soul today :)

Petroleum Jelly: A Friend and Enemy and My Theory (The experiment-pt2)

written by Flower princess of Vivid thoughts of Glory©

I proceeded to try it after a long time of avoiding it. The first impression was actually pretty good I felt that the hair scales where smoothed so I knew it was good. I proceeded to twist it I monitored the twist out a day later it was ok nothing extraordinary shiny moisture minimal frizz and defined. I then twisted back.

Now almost a week my hair is not dry as I expected. I actually moisturized and seal again in that week. But still it supposed to be dry? According to what I have been hearing.

Now let’s come to the petroleum’s that makes petroleum jelly evil.

No complicated talk let me analyze it the easy way:

Scalp: it can, let me say can slow down hair growth and block the scalp follicles: I didn’t recommending on the scalp so that is out of the talk
Hair: it can block moisture from leaving or entering the hair shaft: doesn’t that remind you of anti humectants?
It attracts dirt: Most of the hair products attracts dirt hair itself can hold on and smells just like our clothes sebum can attract dirt and dust so do oils.

It must be wash off with shampoo- Most trichologist and hair experts don’t down the use of SLS shampoo so it is a delicate matter.

watch out for part 3! :)

Robot life-A Christians way to conscious interactions.

please do not plagiarize

Recently I’ve realized that our lives have started becoming automatic. We are leaving less consciously. This is a lesson first to me and then to you, if you accept the truth in it. From waking to eating to sleeping and so on. We do things without paying attention. Why?

1. It seems normal and in fact in this world who wants to be abnormal?!

2. It is easy. Once you get used to it, it just happens instantly.

3. We haven’t realized or take notice of this fact. Life is moving so fast to notice.

4. Life is getting automatic; everything is being set on autopilot.

5. The fear of being mediocre. Not so good for the people around you.

6. it’s comfortable.

7. You can’t control yourself anymore or maybe you have no choice.

The list can goes on to the reasons why things are happening like that.

But you know what I’ve realized?

In doing so

We lose our lives.
We forget that our true home is with God.
We become ‘religious’ in the bad sense.
We forget the purpose of our living or creation.
We look normal in what’s not normal and remain just another ordinary person.
We conform to our surroundings, whether good or bad.
We become emotionless.

And the most important is…

That’s what I’m going to analyze now.

Let’s think together.

When was the last time I said good morning and really meant it?

When was the last time I said bye, sorry, hello, love you, God bless you, a compliment, gave a hug e.t.c and really meant it?

These are just some examples but think of sentences you frequently say or things you do.

It’s easy to say I hate you and mean it than to say good morning.

I realized that it’s easy to say something negative and really mean it.

What do I mean when I say mean it?

Let’s check it out. When we say or do things from our heart there is an emotion or a mixture of emotions either positive or negative that is being released. When we talk or act casually in the autopilot mode we feel and release voidness.

How do i bring more positive emotions in my life?

1. The first step is by developing your relationship with God. A healthy relationship with God is the base of godly interactions with others.

2. Meditate upon the word of God and give him the chance to tell you how you can live consciously.

3. Pray and ask God to help you to practice what he expects and told you to do. But before this you must forgive those who hurt you. Yes, that’s the tough part and a constant struggle but with God’s help it is possible. Then ask him also to forgive you from your sins. This way you get cleansed and healthy spiritually which will eventually show in your physical interactions.

4. See life the way God wants you to see it. See the many blessings you have and smile from your heart. Even if things are tough remember God’s love in giving his son and be grateful. You are not forgotten.

5. Share Gods love and emotions. Say hello, laugh, cry, and smile but do it from your heart. Yes i said cry! Crying releases the negativity that you store inside you or can also be an expression of overwhelming happiness. Give a huge hearty hug to someone today! Be genuinely and respectively yourself in Christ. This way you remain healthy in the heart and soul. Now it’s easy; continue to live like this!

God bless you!

Are you hungry & thirsty?

Are you hungry & thirsty?

John 4:1-15 (KJV)

When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

²(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

³He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴And he must needs go through Samaria.

⁵Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

⁷There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

⁹Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

¹⁰Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹²Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

¹⁵The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Are you hungry and thirsty?Do you feel that you want to know more and more about God?

When you become born again the Holy Spririt comes to live inside you.He gives you the desire to do the things of God.

Like 1 Peter 2:1-3 (NAS) says:

1Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,2like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,3if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

Once you are now a Christian you have to feed yourself with the word of God in order to grow!If you don't feed yourself with the word of God you'll eventually get malnourished and die.The more you eat the word of God the more you grow.Think of it like this.There must by a balance between your physical and spiritual life.If you don't eat physical food you die.The same goes with your spiritual life.Though you never get fat

with the word of God because you never get full of it!If you want to grow spiritually from a new born baby (born again) you must:

1.Develope your relationship with the Holy spirit (this is very important)

2.Read the word of God a get someone like your Pastor explain whatever you don't understand.By reading the word of God ,God speaks to you.

John 1:1

¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

3.Pray and always ask for forgivness.By praying you communicate with God.The highest form of prayer is worship.

4.Allow him to speak to you by having a quiet time with him.

5.Be active at the things of God.By replacing your worldly activities with Godly activities.

6.Fast whenever the Holy spirit convicts you.

7.Bear good fruit.

Matthew 7:15-20 says:

15“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

8.Share the good news with others and be a helping hand in bringing people into God's kindom.

This list is not perfect but i thank God for giving me the ability to write this article and help others.May God bless you all.
