Thank You... MY LOVE

I can't help saying thank you to MY LOVE...

I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that you love me...deeply, greatly, unconditionally.

Yours is nothing compared to what others think they feel for me. Yours is beautiful, tolerant, enduring, fulfilling, captivating, moving, touching, sacrificing...

Your love never fails. It is FOREVER

It's so great that you could give your life for me; and oh, how blessed I am to know you'd do that again and again.

Friends will leave; brothers, sisters, parents will go - but you, My LOVE will stay- through thick and thin; through the storms, winds, happiness, sorrow, odd times and good times.

I'm living because of you - My LOVE; my WORLD; my ALL.

What can I give in return?

You don't eat what I eat. And even if you do, you'd gladly give it all to me and go on an empty stomach just so I can be filled.

You don't wear what I wear. You'd rather clothe me and go on without clothes just so I'm covered.

I can't even pay for all yo…

I really enjoy seeing African-Americans movies, and this particular film is no exception. In fact, I can’t stop watching it and I can’t wait to see ‘Why Did I Get Married too’.Really, Tyler Perry got me hooked on this one, that after seeing it several times, I was able to sift one or more things from it and I’d like to share them here.

During this vacation, they reconnect, talk, pray, iron out issues and so on – but this vacation opened up secrets that they’ve all bottled up. Secrets that made them ask such question as ‘Why did I Get Married?’
I’m going to be looking at the couple one after the other…
Mike & Sheila (Richard T. Jones & Jill Scott)The problem with this couple is Sheila’s stature. Sheila is on the fat side but Mike just couldn’t live with that! And so he insults her at every opportunity he could find. This gave Sheila…

IMOLE YIO TAN (The Light Will Shine)

That Light Will Shine (again)!


I remember asking certain rhetorical questions when there were no suitors coming; I'd ask myself:

'What it would feel like to get married'
'What my wedding day would look like'
'What it would feel like to get pregnant or carry a pregnancy'
(I remember, I once asked myself) 'if I would even ever be married or be pregnant or experience what it feels like to breastfeed a child'

You see, all those questions were answered, even though I asked them within myself, with no one but God to provide the answers. As a matter of fact, they were answered physically, publicly (not privately)!

I woke up this morning asking myself yet again certain questions, and God chose the time to remind me of the questions above and the time I asked them. He reminded me of how I thought I was just asking myself rhetorical questions,  when indeed there would be answers and there would be someone to answer them (HIM)! 

Then suddenly,  while still meditating …
