How being an expressive person helps me in my relationship with God

On good days(almost everyday), you can call me an expressive person. By expressive, I show and tell exactly how I feel.

I just hate to sweep my feelings under the carpet and even if I try to do so, it doesn't help.

Therefore, I'm always like, "I couldn't have done stuff without you. Thank you so much" or "That thing you did to me yesterday, I don't like it" or "you talked down on me and made me feel so little, don't ever do it again."

No matter how hard I try, I'm not sure I will ever join the "be the mature person and be silent" gang. I won't survive it. Many times, if I can't say how I feel, I literally feel like something's choking me.

Being a Christian who is working towards perfection, somehow, I learnt to apply this expressiveness in my relationship with God and it has really helped me. 

So I literally talk about everything and anyhow I feel. I just tell it to God and it helps because, He would know how exactly to react.

 If I am really mad at someone, I just tell him because He always has some water to cool my temper with.

If I'm feeling so happy, stressed or hurt, I just let Him know and when help or encouragement is needed, He comes through with it.

If I know I should pray or read my bible but I'm tired to do so, I just tell Him and He supplies strength.

You should try being this way with God and see the wonders it does. 

As much as God knows and sees everything, but telling and equally showing Him everything about you speaks volume about how willing you are to make your relationship with Him work regardless of your imperfections.

IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S THEM!

You may think an unhealthy relationship is far from you, but I can't guarantee you that if you or your partner falls into the following category.  Don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay tuned for this unveiling. 1. The people whose hobby is table turning: Are you familiar with the term "table turning?" If you're not, I'll tell you what it means. Do you know those people who never admit that they are at fault or believe that they have a hand in any wrongdoing but always find a way to make everything your fault? They are the table turners. So, he or she does something that is clearly wrong but by the time the story is told 3-4 times, they manage to make it your fault and you end up apologizing for what you don't know. 2. The people who "call a spade, a spade": These ones with their mouths sharp as razor specialize in telling their kind of truth. Their mic is always on. All they know about being supportive is calling a spade a spade and saying things th...

MUSINGS ON MICHELLE OBAMA'S BECOMING

I've been reading Michelle Obama's Becoming and in a page where she tried to talk about how her background differs from Barrack's, she wrote- "His story was his story" and for some reason, this line which at first glance appeared very simple and not "deep" stood out for me. "His story was his story" It made me think about how often we want our lives to go in other ways that are different from what we have right now. How we spend time to think that just maybe if we were born into a different family or grew up in a different environment or attended a different school, that our lives could have been better. Or that we could have had a "better" story.  There is no "better" story and there's beauty in my story and your story is what I'm learning from Michelle.  Your story may not glitter but there's value and beauty in it. You've got to believe this. There's beauty in the entirety of your story- from the neigh...

Do you have what it takes?

This is one question that almost everyone asks themselves before taking any step-in life that seems huge. I also asked myself when I was getting ready for a debate for the first time in my secondary school. I wasn't sure if I had what it takes to stand before the crowd and defend a cause. " Am I going to sound convincing enough?" "Were they going to believe what I had to say ?" I had plethora of questions but these questions were only going to be answered if I got out on that field and did the debate. Truth is, you'll never know if you have what it takes for a job until you take a step and "put yourself out there" like a friend once advised me to. This isn't something you've never heard before but you're really doing yourself no good by waiting to figure everything out before taking a step. For years, I fancied with the idea of creating a blog. I would read about blogs, go to other people's blogs (already made people) and co...
