Challenging the Norm - Life on God's Terms

I made a commitment to post something here this week that would help even if it's just one person and that is why you are reading this. Now the question I've been asking myself is what direction I really want this to go and then I decided I'll make it as random as possible........you know nothing too serious *Winks.
So there's something that has got me thinking for close to two weeks now and it's the fact that an average person could spend nothing less than 70 years of their lives living for someone else. Think about it, most of your choices growing up were influenced by your parents, guardians and even some of your siblings, sometimes not directly but somehow you just find your self doing something to measure up to someone or make someone ''proud of you''..........don't get me wrong I'm not saying you should go through life making choices that won't make your loved ones proud of you o! Lol...

All am saying is take sometime out to do something that expresses God through you and not anyone else, the next time you desire something make sure you want it for you cos it adds to the overall reason for your existence, like you know make sure your rush to be married is not because all your friends just happen to have crossed that line, make sure it's a choice that you are making because you finally found out that you know longer want to do things on your own anymore and that life would be so much more fun having someone to share it with apart from your immediate family and friends.

Ok I know I promised not to make this serious so pardon me if it already looks like it is. Truth is we are all strangers here trying to find our way so the next person may just be as confused as you are or even worse so you might want to keep that in mind the next time you feel like living life on somebody else's terms.
However you can never go wrong living on God's terms, you are his product, who knows better about a product than the one who fabricated it so while we all need each other we need him most.

I would like to suggest that you read a book I read a while back which am also presently reading again-its titled "The Purpose Driven Life" all this book does is to point you in God's direction for your life using scriptures. It's available in E-book, Audio Book and you can get a copy in any standard bookstore

On a lighter note though, I just found out about my love for Country Music I mean I love music but I've never really paid attention to Country until I started watching this TV Show Nashville which is basically about the life of Country Musicians.......its really amazing you should try it. Allow me give you a sneak peek......there are these two adorable real life sisters Lennon and Maisy Stella who also play sisters in the show.......OMG their voices are out of this world! Make sure you watch out for them in Episode 16 of Season 1.

xxox..............
