women are from venus

A little boy asked his mother
Why are you crying?
Mother: Because Im a woman
Boy: I dont understand
Mother: And you never will

The boy then asked his father Why does mother cry for no reason?
His father could only say All women do that

The little boy then grew to be a man, but he was still puzzled.
Finally he asked God why.

God said:When I created women, I wanted someone special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the burdens of the world,
but soft enough to provide comfort.

I gave her inner strength to endure child birth
And accept rejection after rejection from her child.

I gave her the force to persevere when others Give up,
and to care for her family through all suffering

And anguish without a word of complaint
I gave her sensitivity to love her children unconditionally, even when they break her heart.

I gave her the strength to support her husband
Through his failures and to complete his ribs
To protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband will never hurt his wife,
but may test her strengthand her fortitude to be by his side without a doubt.

And lastly, I gave her tears to shed.
This is specially hers, for her to use Whenever she needs it.

Did you know ?
A womans beauty is not measured by what she wears,
the image she portrays or how she styles her hair.
A womans beauty has to be seen in her eyes,
because that is the door to her heart the place where the love is.

Lion in the house?

Was trying to tell Benaiah to be safe if ever the helper tries to harm him. But I guess it is impossible to speak in codes to a child. Mummy: Benaiah, if anything happened , please run to the neighbour to get help. Benaiah: huh? What? Mummy: Like in an emergency? Benaiah: Like a fire? Mummy: yeah, something like that. Or maybe like if somebody is trying to harm you. Benaiah in all seriousness: Like a real lion in the house?

The Road to Healing

For most part of my life that I have cognition, I live with the fear of death. Not my death but death of loved ones. It has been so long, I have more or less just resigned to living with it.  I had vague memory that even as a child, I would cry thinking about the death of my parents. I would go to their bedside and cry while they were sleeping. Now that I think about it, could it be some shows that I have watched because I do recall sobbing uncontrollably over the death of fictional characters in the drama. At the same time I was afraid of ghosts and spirits. I was healed as a youth during an encounter retreat. The facilitator asked me when did I start to be afraid of ghosts and spirits and I said it was attending my first Christian wake as a child when I viewed a dead body for the first time. The facilitator then led me in prayer and since that day, I am no longer afraid of such and was able to be alone in the night.  But still the fear of death of loved ones did not leave me...

To be or not to be feminist?

During Tuesday life group, a recently married young lady mentioned that she is somewhat of a feminist and struggles with the issue of submitting to her husband.  The issue is a complicated one. Firstly, the discourse on feminism is dynamic and many a time laced with emotions. Secondly, the idea of biblical submission is probably not studied or misunderstood. Lastly, one may not really be a feminist or had a submission issue, the root lies somewhere else.  Interestingly, I had on a few occasions been described as a submissive wife although I do not want to probe on the definitions by the people who paid me the compliment/criticism. What they do not know is if they had met the undergraduate me, they would probably think otherwise. The excitement of undergraduate life, the newfound independence and arts education had thrown me into a period of questioning, tears and anger. I had to come face to face on whether my religion is just a clutch, an opium for the society. I do not know ...
