Insight

thoughtful insightful sometimes well researched and wow. This is what i get every time i read one of my friends' blogs and I wonder why are my blogs not like that.

I believe it is due to a lack of self confidence and and faith in thyself. We need to believe in ourselves to see there is gold in all we do. 'trust and believe in yourselves' we are our worst enemies don't let the voice that say you are not good enough be louder than the voice that is cheering you on.

Other blog

Did i tell you all about my other blog?

It's funny

I'm reading a blog not written by a person i know... weird right? ok its not that weird... thats not the point

I love the Anglican Church of Southern Africa... why? well my mom was an Anglican, my grandfolks were Anglican... from my mother's kids, I am the only Anglican, my siblings... branched out, I have no beef with other churches I like them all.

While reading the diary of a Zulu girl i came across something to prevalent today... people leave the Anglican Church to join other churches... and only return when they want to be burried or married by a priest and not a pastor or when the want some religious ceremony, like a baptism.... #SMH

It is Finished

"It is finished"

Reading through these words I asked myself, what is finished?

Had they killed Jesus, was Jesus so powerless that the Romans and the Jewish leaders could have disposed of him so easily. No! It doesn’t matter who condemned  Him to death, wether it was the Jewish high priests or the Roman, Pontius Pilate, because in the gospel according to St John chapter 10 verse 18 Jesus says  (Yes I do read the bible) "No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

Jesus went to the cross willingly because he had to die, die so that we may have eternal life. Jesus had control over his life right up until he ascended into heaven…

"It is finished"

I can imagine the tone in which Jesus must have said “it is finished”, John goes on to say… he bowed his head, as if to be relieved… and yes, I believe he was relieved, just as many of us would breathe a sigh of relief after a mammoth task. That breath of relief when you got your results, telling you that you are graduating. That breath of relief telling you that you have completed a module. It is finished. No stone left unturned, when one is relieved to finish something its usually a testament of the amount of effort put in. One cannot be relieved without a considerable amount of effort, with no effort put it would not matter if a task was finished or not. but In Jesus death it was finished… we are born in a world of sin and death is penalty for sin, but not our death, Jesus death which washed away our sins, so we can know the grace of God.

it is finished… these words tell us something. These words tell us that Jesus was not a quitter. He came down on earth a man on a mission. He persevered and saw it through until it was indeed finished.

To be Christian means to aspire to be like Christ. Christ was not a quitter. We should be no less… there are days whereby we’ll walk through storms… we should always hold our head up high and never be afraid of the dark, because the Lord is our Sheppard.  Though sometimes our dreams may be tossed and blown, we should walk on with faith in our heart... and we will never walk alone, because Christ dwells within us.

Kuthiwa "Inkawu yatyiwa ilila, imfene yasinda ngokugoloza"

Christianity is sometimes viewed as a religion for the weak, because it teaches us to love, and to forgive and sometimes be submissive. But that is not the case, as kwi ncwadi yabase Philippi.. no not the phillipi in cape town, but Philippians 4:13 “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”  I am trying to say when adversities, arise praying and doing nothing is like whining to the Lord… and no-one likes a whiner.. when life throws its punches kufneka sigoloze, stand up and be noticed only we can shape and mould our lives to glorify God Philippians reassures us all things can be done through Christ all we need to do is to have, faith. Faith in Jesus, faith in ourselves… kuba with the faith of a mustard seed we can move mountains… they way I’m quoting the bible you’d swear I read the bible from genesis to revelations that was Mathew 17:20

“It is finished”

Christ died so that we may not parish… but have everlasting life, though the promise of an everlasting life should not lead us to settle for second best while we are still in the flesh. We are the Sons and daughters of God and as such are royalty in our own right. Njengeculo belisitsho andikoyiki ukulwa… masingoyiki ukulwela ubukhosi obufanele abantwana bakaTixo, kuba yena usecaleni kwethu.

Habit

From the movies, the series and maybe the odd book, I have come to realise that humans are animals of habit.
I do not know where exactly this idea spawned, it possibly could've spawned from all three sources. But it now sort of explains why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Why winners stay winning and losers stay losing. But all habits can be broken, hence the abundance of rags to riches stories... well in all fairness they aren't that many, but that's not the point.
The point is, I am going to attempt to get in a routine, this is a routine of which I believe will effectively allow me to be more productive... Its a work-in-progress type of plan so you will have to bear with me if it is not very detailed, so far I have my time management timetable. Wake up at 6 am Go to school at 7:50 a.m. Get to school in time for the morning class even though some days I do not have a morning class.... Just keeping the habit going. pl

Missed Me?

Actually the title is kinda irrelevant… because to miss someone you would have had established some kind of rapport with them and I blog so sparingly I would not expect to be missed.

Anyways it’s that time of the year again where we go home meet up with friends over a few drinks, for me personally… I do not look forward to these gatherings as much as I would like. This is because always the “how’s school” question creeps up, that question always puts me back in the rat race. Trying to measure up how am I doing in this world… not all is well I have to admit but not all hope is lost… I have always said to people when their days were dark 

Your health is your biggest commodity, for as long as you have your health be grateful, for you can rise with the rising sun and start afresh

Of cause, I did not put it like that verbatim, but it is something along those lines. It’s funny how people make resolutions on new year’s, I have done away with that as it never ends well. Before I go to bed, I jot down what needs to be done the following day as short terms goals keep you focused on the bigger picture.

Yes my high school friends I do hope you missed me a little because I certainly have missed you guys… and I will definitely miss my ANSOCers

Cops

Cops are also human... I am sure it's against the law but yesterday I was scared by some cops.

I was taking my afternoon walk, watching a video on my phone looking down when there was a cop car just parked there... A Lil' something you should know about me I do not like cars parked in random places i start thinking they're up to no good...

And my hunch was right these cops threw fire crackers at my feet... I jumped, ducked and dive, i thought i was being shot at... Idiots nearly gave me a heart attack
